Notes & Quotes
Investigate free sources first
By BETTY H. SENDMEYER Extension Home Economist Before plunking down hard-earned money for self-help booklets and aids - be certain you can’t get that information free. That is the advice of Jean Bauer, Extension family resource management specialist at Purdue University. Government agencies supply information on a variety of topics ranging from tax preparation, gardening, and food preservation to child development and fixing your automobile. However, government publications cannot be copyrighted so publishers and printing houses are free to copy the material. They can then sell the information for publication. For example, one enterprising printer has copied “The Internal Revenue Guide to Your Federal Income Tax.” a publication which is free

Abby: Ruined mattress leaves mother steamed
DEAR ABBY: Here’s the situation. Last weekend my 12-year-old son, Danny, asked if he could invite his 13-year-old friend, Steve, to sleep over. Steve had just moved into the neighborhood and Danny was the only friend he had. I said yes. When I went to make up the beds the next morning I found that Steve had wet the bed! I was really steamed because the mattress was ruined. I told Danny about it, and he said that Steve never told him that he had a bed-wetting problem before he slept over, but the next morning when he discovered he had had an “accident,” he begged Danny not to tell me or his mother about it. What can I do, Abby? Should I tell Steve’s mother (whom I haven’t met) and hope she offers to buy me a new mattress? STEAMED DOWN SOUTH DEAR STEAMED: I wouldn’t. The poor kid probably has suffered enough humiliation as it is. Rut do tell Danny to tell Steve that since such an “accident” can happen, if he plans to sleep over anywhere, he should bring his own bedding, plus a rubber sheet.

Hints from Heloise
DEAR HELOISE: I sew a lot and am always misplacing my threaded needle and my shears. I usually find my scissors under the instruction page or on the floor and never find my needle at all. I’ve finally solved my problem... At a hardware store, I purchased a small flat magnet and placed it right on the front of my sewing machine. It’s a perfect place to keep my threaded needle and extra pins handy. I tied my little snipping shears to my machine with a piece of ribbon. Now, everything is within easy reach. Andrea * * * ...which helps to make sewing more of a joy and less of a hassle and I’m all for that! I would like to make one small comment, however... Try using a narrow piece of elastic to “tie” your snipping shears to your sewing machine. You can stretch it a
at your local IRS. According to some report#, sales of this publication warrant a second printing. To obtain free government publications, first check with the agency which deals with your questions or concerns (if available): for instance, the IRS for tax information. Your local Cooperative Extension Service and the Consumer Information Center, Pueblo, Colo., also offer practical information on a variety of topics. Most government publications are free. If there is a charge, it is minimal and only covers the cost of printing. Your local newspaper may also have a column or feature which lists free material. “So,” says Bauer, “don’t be in a big hurry to spend your money. Take time to investigate all the possibilities that are free, first.”

mile to snip something if need be. Slip this piece of elastic (mine is about 18 inches long) through the finger-hole of the snippers. Sew or pin the ends together, then slip this “circle” of elastic under the presser foot and up over the arm of the machine. The snippers won’t ever fall to the floor, damaging the points, and they’ll never get lost. Should you want to remove them from the machine for any reason, just slip them down the way they got up. Just one more small step toward hassle-free sewing. Till tomorrow... Heloise • * * DEAR HELOISE: A faster method for baking meat loaf is to make individual ones in muffin tins. They cook in much less time and the kids love them. Magdalena Lemke
DEAR ABBY: What is this world coming to? Yesterday I received a birth announcement, proudly announcing the birth of a baby girl. The mother is 21, the father is 40. He is married, but is separated from his wife of nearly 20 years! This man’s wife and legitimate children live in the city and are well-known. To top it off, the proud parents signed themselves, “Gator Guy” and “Wooly Woman” some clan, sect or gang name. We were really stunned. My question: Is a gift in order for an illegitimate child? TOO OLD TO COPE DEAR T.0.T.C.: There are no “illegitimate children” just illegitimate parents. Don’t penalize an innocent child because of the circumstances of his birth. DEAR ABBY: For quite some time I have wanted to ask your opinion regarding the practice of some people who turn their left hand backward in a so-called “friendly” handshake, rather than extend their right hand in the conventional manner.

I vaguely recall having read somewhere that this is a “token” handshake which says, “I don’t care for you, but nevertheless here’s my left hand to indicate to folks nearby that we know each other.” (It’s just a cut above a snub.) RIGHT HAND, PLEASE DEAR RIGHT: On occasion I’ve been offered a left hand to shake and I shook it; I’m sure there were times when I have offered my left hand, too. Why look for some hidden meaning? It simply could indicate that one’s right hand is otherwise occupied, that the left hand is handier or the right hand is wearing a large ring which invariably cuts into the flesh when grasped too tightly. Or some reason other than a putdown. Are there questions you can’t ask your parents? Get Abby’s new booklet: WHAT TEENAGERS OUGHT TO KNOW. Drugs, sex and alcohol are plainly discussed. Send $2 and a long, stamped (28 cents) selfaddressed envelope to Abby, 132 Lasky Drive, Beverly Hills, Calif. 90212.
