Hints from Heloise

DEAR HELOISE: Where, oh! where, can it be? Sometime ago, you had a method for removing formula stains from baby’s clothing. It would be great to see it again in the column as I’m sure there would be many, besides me, who would benefit. As you guessed, I’ve mislaid my copy. Hopeful ★ ★ ★ Wouldn't it be nice to have total recall, at least when we’re trying to remember where we put an item we know we have but just can’t put our hands on? Searching is so frustrating. But, search no

Dear Abby To tell or not to tell difficult dilemma for mom

DEAR ABBY: When I was 16, I got pregnant by my steady boyfriend. I wanted to keep the baby, but my parents wouldn’t let me. Instead they sent me to another state to stay with my aunt and uncle, who took wonderful care of me. After I had my baby (I’ll call her Tammy), my aunt and uncle adopted her on the condition that I would never tell her I was her real mother. Tammy’s real father, who had just turned 17 at the time, couldn’t accept the responsibility, so as a favor to him, I listed Tammy’s father as “unknown.” (I don’t even know where he is now.) Tammy is now a beautiful, happy, well-adjusted 15-year-old. She knows she’s adopted, but that is all. I am now happily married and have two fine sons who aren't aware that “Cousin” Tammy is really their half-sister. When I see Tammy, my arms ache to hold her close and tell her who I really am. How can I fight the urge to tell her? ACHING HEART DEAR ACHING: Remember your promise to your aunt and uncle, and honor it. One day, when Tammy is of legal age and sufficiently mature to handle it, if she wants to know who her biological parents are, I think she has the right to know' but you shouldn’t be the one to tell her. For now, thank God she Is a happy, well-adjusted child, and leave well enough alone. * * * DEAR ABBY: Sometimes when people call me and my line is busy, they call again and ask, “Who were you talking to?” What should I say? I’m a respectable 41-year-old woman with nothing to hide, but I think such a question is an invasion of one’s privacy. I would never presume to ask that question of anyone because it’s none of my business, yet when I am asked I’m never quick enough to respond in any way other than to name the person I was talking to. Then I could kick myself. Any brilliant ideas? PRIVACY PREFERRED DEAR PRIVACY: Put the offender on the defensive with this response: "Why do you ask?” ♦ * * DEAR ABBY: My ex-husband is now seven months behind on his child support payments. I lost track of him five months ago and can’t find him. I have heard that he has left the state. Is there any way I can find him? I can’t afford a private detective. NEEDS SUPPORT DEAR NEEDS: He can be traced through the “Parent Locater System,” operated by the federal government under the Uniform Reciprocal Child Support Law. For more detailed information, call your local welfare office. You do not have to be on welfare to qualify for assistance frorti this office. * * * DEAR ABBY: The letter from “His Wife,” who was sus-

more, ’cause luckily I do have a copy of the method which I will be happy to share. While these kinds of stains are the most difficult to remove (an enzyme presoak sometimes helps) soaking them in the following solution is usually very effective. It’s also helpful in whitening most clothes. Here’s the formula: Into a plastic or stainless steel container (do not use alumninum) pour one gallon of hot water, one-fourth cup liquid chlorine bleach and one cup automatic dishwasher detergent. Mix well. Allow the stained garment

to soak in this solution for about 30 minutes, then wash as usual. If the clothes won’t stand the hot water, let it cool to the proper temperature. If the stains are still visible after 30 minutes, leave them in a little longer, even resort to a bit of hand scrubbing if necessary. Your little bundle should have some “new” stain-free clothes to wear, which you can show off with pride. Heloise HINTS FROM HIM Dear Heloise: Another use for plastic foam packing “peanuts” is to use them in-

picious of her husband because it took him all day to play 18 holes of golf, reminded me of something that happened many years ago. Our telephone number was one digit different from that of a nearby golf course. We frequently got telephone calls from people asking for reservations, and we always gave them the correct number of the golf course. One Sunday morning I got a call from a lady who asked, “Is my husband playing a round over there?” Needless to say, immediate steps were taken to have our number changed. A READER ♦ * * DEAR ABBY: This is in response to “Right-Handed Mama," whose husband was forcing their naturally lefthanded child into right-handedness because he believed “left-handed people are clumsy and stupid”: If they're clumsy, how would he like to have boxed heavyweight champion Gentleman Jim Corbett, played tennis with Jimmy Connors, baseball with Babe Ruth, Reggie Jackson, Sandy Koufax or Lou Gehrig, golf with Ben Hogan or basketball with Willis Reed? As for being stupid, he is obviously no match for Alexander the Great, Clarence Harrow, Julius Caesar, Napoleon or Queen Victoria, not to mention American Presidents Truman, F’ord, Garfield and Reagan. As far as creativity, what about Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Pablo Picasso or Bach? This is only a sampling. Oh, one last name to drop can her husband match brains with Albert Einstein? LEFTY IN BEAUMONT, TEXAS * * * DEAR ABBY: I am a single parent who works at home. This is the best solution for me in order to meet the financial and emotional needs of my family. Because I work in my home, my friends and neighbors seem to think I am not doing anything. They phone me anytime they feel like it and talk freely as long as they want. Or I am asked if they can drop Suzie off while her mom takes her brother to the doctor, or if I can drive an elderly friend to the store, or just listen to their problems. I care about these people and need their friendship, but if I don t work, I don’t get paid. If I worked in an office or factory, I couldn’t help them between 9 and 5. I am no more free to help them now, but it s hard to make excuses because I am at home and they think I’m not doing anything. I can t think of a diplomatic way to say no. A lot of people work out of their homes selling, sewing, typing or taking care of children. How have they solved this problem? , HOMEWORK HELPER DEAR HELPER: What you call “diplomacy” is actually a lack of assertiveness. You are being imposed upon because you allow it. Don’t offer “excuses” or give reasons why you can’t spend time on the phone, baby-sit or drive someone somewhere. The meek not only inherit the earth, they’re imposed upon a lot.

Great for making hanging planters a little lighter! Bob Clark DOUBLE DUTY Dear Heloise: Whenever I have a small, breakable item to send in the mail, I wrap it in one of the baby’s disposable diapers. It’s lightweight, but effective (use your own judgment or directions from the post office as to how much packing is needed) and can even be reused, if needed, at the other end. Bobbie Landess JEAN PATCHING Dear Heloise: My son’s jeans needed a few patches, which I put off doing because I always would break the machine needle going over the thick seams. Well, one day I had to mend the jeans while they were still slightly damp, Bravo! No broken needles! The whole job

Joanne Wiant CASTCOVER Dear Heloise: When our daughter broke her leg, I bought her leg warmers to stretch over her cast and later, she wore them under a brace she had to wear on her leg temporarily. The leg warmers stayed in place, kept the cast clean and her leg warm, and also were more comfortable under the brace. Mrs. C.
