Hints from Heloise: Proper installation of smoke detectors can save lives

DEAR HELOISE. Because we just had a fire in our home, I would like to share a few good hints on smoke detectors. They saved our lives. Smoke detectors should be placed near bedroom doors in an apartment. You should have at least one on every floor in a house. I was told they should be within 10 feet of all bedrooms and more than three feet away from air vents. The living and family rooms are also good locations for detectors but don’t place one near the fireplace. You should also consider getting one to place at the top of the basement stairs. If the smoke detector is battery

Dear Abby

Father who died at 41 left a priceless legacy

DEAR READERS: Once upon a time there was a young father named Patrick Connolly, who suffered from a conflict many busy parents face. He left for work before his children woke up and frequently got home after they had gone to bed. His sons were 8 and 10 when he started to leave little notes for his sleeping children, offering advice, encouragement and loving messages to let them know that he was thinking of them. He even illustrated some notes with a cast of characters that included every member of the family plus the family dog. These notes were varied, from little poems, riddles, wholesome bits of philosophy to simple reminders guys.” One note offered this helpful bit of advice: “Be fair and friendly and friends will come. The important thing is not how many friends you have, but what kind of friends.”

fll 1 to .

PATRICK CONNOLLY Sons Dave (left). Rich Another reads: “It’s a new day. God gives us new days so we can continue with our successes, or start over if we goofed yesterday.” Each note was signed, “Love, Dad.” Two years ago, the Connolly boys received their last daily note from their dad. At the age of 41, Connolly died suddenly of a massive heart attack. After his death, his family looked through the priceless collection of notes that Mrs. Connolly had saved in a shoe box and selected the most meaningful to publish as a book. The result is “Love, Dad,” the best of these daily notes written by a busy but loving father who had found a wonderful way to communicate with his children. This little jewel of a book is filled with common-sense messages that will ring a bell with all parents who want their children to grow up to be decent, honest and hardworking. It’s written with a sense of humor, yet contains some important moral lessons without being preachy. It touched my heart, and I think it will touch yours. If your bookstore does not have “Love, Dad” by Patrick Connolly, order it from the publisher: Andrews, McMeel and Parker, P.O. Box 419150, Kansas City, Mo. 64141. It’s in paperback and costs $5.95 plus $1 for postage. ♦ * * DEAR ABBY: When I read the letter from the reader signed “Hearing Things in York, 5.C.,” I recalled that some years ago there was an article in the medicine section of

Time magazine on the subject of medical detective work. One of the examples cited involved a man who went to a psychiatrist complaining that he was always hearing radio broadcasts. Thinking to humor him, the psychiatrist asked what he was hearing right then. The man replied he was hearing Rudy Vallee broadcasting from the Steel Pier in Atlantic City. The psychiatrist turned on his office radio and, sure enough he heard Rudy Vallee! He became so intrigued that he conducted an extensive project with his patient. After much questioning he discovered that the man worked in a glass bottle factory and had gotten some silica crystals in dental cavities. The combination of the silica, saliva and some bridgework in his mouth had literally transformed him into a walking crystal radio receiver! The psychiatrist referred the patient to a dentist who gave his teeth a thorough cleaning, filled the cavities and redid the bridgework. As a result, the patient “went off the air,” was able to concentrate, and lived happily ever after. Hope this helps your reader. R.T. HOLLAND, LOS ANGELES DEAR MR. HOLLAND: Thank you for a fascinating letter. Now, does anyone doubt that truth is stranger than fiction? DEAR ABBY: I’m sure you never had a problem like this. You have my permission to put this in the paper, but don’t use my name. I am 80 years old. I had a brother (four years younger), and we loved and respected each other. He passed away last week after a long illness. His funeral happened to fall on the same day as the wedding of one of my favorite grandsons. I was torn between going to my brother’s funeral and my grandson’s wedding. The funeral was in town, but I had to travel to another state for my grandson’s wedding, so I couldn’t go to both. Well, I chose to go to the wedding, and now my name is you-know-what with some of my relatives. They said that out of respect to my brother I should have gone to his funeral. Please tell me if you think I did wrong by going to my grandson’s wedding instead of to my brother’s funeral. ANONYMOUS DEAR ANONYMOUS: The time to show respect for people is while they’re living. Congratulations for having the courage to do what you wanted to do. I think you made the right choice.

Thank you for sharing these life-saving tips with us. I called my local fire department and got a few extra hints on this subject: You should place a smoke detector in the garage, especially if that is where your hot water heater closet is. Also, people who are putting a heating element in the attic should consider putting a detector there too. Any place where there is a source of ignition, there should also be a smoke detector. Don’t put one directly in the kitchen. The smoke from cooking can set it off and people will think of it more as a nuisance than as a life-saving device. We hope that

I would be more than happy to. You will need two cups powdered milk, one-fourth cup cocoa, one cup powdered sugar and a dash of salt. You may also use sugar substitute if you prefer. If you would like to make the mix even richer you can add one-third cup powdered, nondairy creamer or a tablespoon or two of malted milk powder. Place four tablespoons (depending on your taste) of the mix into a cup and fill with boiling water. You can add whipped cream or marshmallows for an extra treat. Hope your grandchildren enjoy this.
