Hints from Heloise

DEAR HELOISE: I’m sure many of your readers have this same problem and I hope you can find a solution. I want to find a way to keep my photographs from sticking to the glass when framed. I’m ready to change frames, but can’t because the picture is stuck to the glass. I realize I can’t save the ones that are already stuck fast, but maybe there is something that can be done to help keep this from happening again in the future. Kathy Lower * * * The newer frames and processes of development help eliminate a lot of this problem, but many of us still have those slick-finish snapshots that we want to display. A local photographer said one of the simplest ways to eliminate the problem is to put a little wedge of cardboard at each corner of the frame under the glass (out of sight, naturally). This will keep the photograph away from the glass. If the picture doesn’t touch the glass, it can’t build up moisture and stick right?

Dear Abby Children view childbirth? Report says they're bored

DEAR ABBY: As the director of Emergency Nursing Services at St. Joseph Hospital in Orange, Calif., I have seen it all, so if you aren’t already sick to death of the controversy over whether children should be present in the delivery room when Mama gives birth, I submit the results of such an experiment: “A team of doctors observed the behavior of 28 girls and 12 boys who witnessed delivery in an alternative birth center. The children ranged in age from 3 to 14; 18 children were aged 4 to 6 years, and 10 were aged 7 to 9. All youngsters were prepared in advance through books, films and childbirth education classes. Children were accompanied by a support person (other than the parents) who answered questions and provided comfort if needed. “Two children slept through the entire process, and two others slept during their mother’s labor but awakened for the delivery. During the early labor, three children played with the support person, eight watched from a distance and 25 interacted with the mother, asking questions and timing contractions. “In the late stages of labor, eight children wandered in and out of the delivery room and three were asked to leave because they were distracting the mother, who appeared to be overly upset by their behavior. “Of the 33 children who were in the room during delivery of the infant, 29 watched, whereas the other four showed no interest whatsoever. “Only five children watched the delivery of the placenta. The other youngsters were preoccupied with the infant, who usually was near the mother’s breast. “Children were more conscious of the sounds and sights of la|»or and delivery, although most were not upset by the mother’s cries. Despite curiosity about the birth process, youngsters appeared bored during labor. "Their excitement after birth was short, and they usually resumed their normal routine as soon as the baby was born.

hew to keep \ajr air conditimer

fit to survive the * long

hot simmer Before the long hot summer gets you hot under the collar, take the time to make sure your air conditioner is running efficiently. A lot of electricity is used on hot and humid summer days. And your air conditioner uses more than any other appliance. To keep it and yourself running coolly this summer, follow these helpful hints for safe, efficient operation. Start by cleaning the filter. Vacuum or wash it frequently. And replace it if necessary. Examine the air conditioner for dirty parts—they can cause an efficiency loss of up to 25%. If a tune-up or major cleaning is/ieeded, call your local heating and cooling contractor for assistance. During extremely hot and humid weather, set the fan switch to automatic. It's the most economical setting and you'll be more comfortable. Watch out for moisture too. Anything you do to create more moisture, or heat, makes your air conditioner work harder. So try to leave those cooking, showering and laundry chores for the early morning and late evening hours. Remember to place window air conditioners on the shady sides of your house. (The sun shines hottest on the east and west sides.) And keep the sunshine out as much as possible by drawing shades, blinds and drapes. Don’t forget to close the fireplace damper too. It will help keep hot air out and cool air in. It's also wise to try and keep trips in and out of the house to a minimum—that way you keep cool air in and hot air out. If you want- more information on air conditioner efficiency, or maybe advice on purchasing a new unit, just call our local office. Our business is to provide electricity. But our purpose is to help people. PUBLIC SERVICE INDIANA

“The observers concluded that childbirth is an adult event and the presence of children meets the parents’ rather than the siblings’ needs and wishes.” KATE REEVES, R.N. DEAR ABBY: I see so many letters in your column from women who are in love with married men and are waiting for them to get a divorce. Take it from a woman who wasted nine years on a married man. No matter how much he loves you and how little feeling he has for his wife, one thing will always hold them together: money! My married lover begged me to be patient until he could work it out so we could marry. Of course, he was never able to work it out. Married men will stall because their children “need” them, or because their wives are “emotionally unstable’’ or “physically ill.” But if they told the truth, they would admit that they stay married because divorce is too expensive. Abby, why do these men lie through their teeth? NINE YEARS WASTED DEAR WASTED: Not all men lie through their teeth. Some pay through the nose. DEAR ABBY: We may be moving into another home soon. It’s a lovely home, but one thing bothers me a lot. The former owner had lung cancer and spent the last six years of his life in that house before he died. I know that cancer isn’t supposed to be “catching,” but I can’t help wondering if there isn’t a possibility of contracting the disease from whatever conditions caused the cancer perhaps within the house itself? We must make a decision soon, so please hurry your answer. MARYLAND READER DEAR READER: Cancer is not contagious and your fears are groundless. However, unless you are absolutely convinced that there is no risk of preexisting conditions, you’d be wise to find another house.
