Heloise: Book provides quick, handy reference

DEAR FRIENDS: I get letters and more letters from readers who want to know why I don’t put every handy dandy hint that’s been used in this column in a book so they can keep it on tap for quick reference when they have a problem. Well, I’ve done just that! It took lots of time to pick and ehoose the very best tips and the hints that solve the problems people are always asking about, but it’s done and I sure hope you like the catchy title: I called it “Hints from Heloise” ’cause I knew you’d remember it right off. What I like best about my book and what I think you’ll like best too is that it’s in alphabetically easy order

that’s so you can find what you want right off. And for good measure there’s an index too. This book is really planned for easy reference just like my own office filing system that keeps a record of every single hint that’s been in the column. If you want a copy of “Hints from Heloise” for your homemaker’s bookshelf and it sure has an edge over cookbooks...’cause it’s not fattening why, scoot right down to your local bookshop and order a copy. It’s published by Arbor House and costs $12.95. Hugs, Heloise. DEAR HELOISE: Those of you who have had a freezer go on the blink in the

After emptying and then cleaning it for several days with every cleaner and deodorizer I could think of as well as shedding many tears it still had an odor. But, just as I was about ready to discard it, an appliance repairman came to my rescue. He told me to wipe the freezer out with a damp cloth, moistened with lemon extract flavoring. It was so simple to do there is no more unpleasant odor in the freezer, just a refreshing fragrance. Jerry Walker P.S. I even cleaned the

Notes & Quotes By BETTY H. SENDMEYER Extension Home Economist

Want more energy and vitality? Who doesn’t? But if you think the answer is in a little multi-vitamin pill, you’re mistaken. The Food and Drug Administration reports that more than 4,000 people are victims of vitamin poisoning each year. And a lot of them are kids. So, you can get too much of a good thing. There are some myths about what vitamins can do. For instance, people will tell you vitamins help convert food to energy, Although some of the B vitamins help convert food to energy, vitamins alone won’t help you win a tennis match. And, amounts greater than the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance provide nothing of value. Others claim that natural vitamins are superior to the synthetic kind. But a vitamin is the same whether it comes from an animal of plant, or it’s made in the laboratory. You could pay a lot more for so-called natural vitamins, though. A balanced diet can provide the vitamins and nutrients you need to stay healthy and vitamin supplements won’t prevent heart disease, cure a cold, or boost your sex life. For more information get the free pamphlet, “Myths About Vitamins,” from the Consumer Information Center, Pueblo, Colo, 81009.

What a relief to be able to remove the clothespin from my nose! * * * I didn’t have a freezer on the blink so I couldn’t test your hint but folks, if you have this problem, Jerry’s tip surely is worth a try ’cause you haven’t got a thing to lose.

Abby Take a closer look DEAR ABBY: Eight years ago I wrote to you concerning a problem we were having with our son who was then in the third grade. His teacher told us he was having difficulty keeping up with his class because he couldn’t read. (She even hinted that he might be “slightly retarded.”) She said he was also a discipline problem and she couldn’t recommend him for the fourth grade. I wrote to you in desperation, and you suggested I write to the Association for Children with Learning Disabilities. I did, and want you to know that this organization has helped us enormously. Our “problem child” is now a high school senior who qualifies for college. Abby, please acquaint others with this wonderful group. Had it not been for you, we never would have known about GRATEFUL IN ELIZABETH, N.J. DEAR GRATEFUL: Thanks for this opportunity to advise other parents to take a closer look at their “clumsy” 3-year-old who can’t sit still and seems hard to handle, or the slow learner who’s a troublemaker and disrupts the class. That child could be brighter than average but afflicted with a learning disability that is treatable if detected early. A letter requesting information can be sent to: The Association for Children and Adults with Learning Disabilities, 4156 Library Rd., Pittsburgh, Pa. 15234. It is not a high-pressure group and does not solicit public funds. It helps by sending educational material. It’s non-profit, so when writing, please enclose a long, stamped, self-addressed envelope. DEAR ABBY: How do you know if you are really in love? ON CLOUD NINE DEAR ON: If you have to ask you aren’t. DEAR ABBY: Andy (not his real name) and I have been married for two years, and we have a problem I am sure many other married couples have. Every time my sister and her husband ask us to go out with them, I almost have to get down on my hands and knees to get Andy to go. Then he sits like a bump on a log all evening and never opens his mouth except to say, “Let’s go home.” This has happened so many times, I’m surprised they still ask us to go out with them. I know Andy can be sociable if he wants to be, because he is with other couples. I am not crazy about all his relatives, but I try to be good company when I’m with them. Andy knows how much this hurts me. Why does he act this way, and what can I do about it? TICKED OFF IN MEMPHIS DEAR TICKED: He acts that way because he doesn’t enjoy the company of your sister and her husband, and it’s his way of punishing you for insisting he go out with them. Mature adults realize that there are some social situations (and business, too) that are a drag, but for the sake of the spouse, one should try to enter into the spirit of it and try to be good company. Your husband figures if he makes you miserable enough, often enough, you’ll go only where he wants to go. He’s selfish and childish. Appeal to his sense of fair play, and tell him it’s time he grew up.
