Good riddance to roaches
DEAR FRIENDS: For those of you who requested the roach exterminating formula pamphlet we have been swamped. I just wanted to let you know that requests are being filled as quickly as possible. For those of you who missed mention of this pamphlet, it contains information on roaches, where they live, hide, how they get into your home and how you can get rid of them using a simple, safe and cheap formula. We have printed the information many times but space doesn’t allow us to print it again. If you want “the roach exterminating formula” pamphlet, please send a long business sized, selfaddressed, stamped envelope (22 cents postage) for each copy and 50 cents (no stamps please) to: Heloise Roach Pamphlet, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, Texas, 78279. Please allow 4-6 weeks just in case we get swamped again, and say good riddance to the roaches. Heloise CARDBOARD POSTCARDS Dear Heloise: Recently my wife and I picked up discarded cardboard from our college’s art department. We made postcards out of it and stenciled them with various designs. We made all occasion cards like birthday, congratulations, get well and thankyou cards. We then gave these to friends and relatives as gifts. They were an inexpensive way of giving a personal gift and it showed we had spent a lot of time and thought on them. Our friends seemed to really appreciate them more so than something that could have been bought. Jackie, Lincoln, Neb. ♦ • ♦ What a clever couple you are! Those postcards surely made won-

derfUl gifts and I’m sure your friends were delighted! Heloise YARN HOLDER Dear Heloise: I wanted to write and share this hint with you. It has proved quite helpful for me and should also help others. When I am working on a knitting project that calls for different colors of yam, I get the plastic bags potatoes come in and thread the different colors of yam through the various holes in the bag. The yam stays put and best of all it stays untangled through the entire project. It is important that you make sure the bag is clean before you place the yam in it. Lee Ramos, San Antonio, Texas TWO LITER BOTTLES Dear Heloise: Two liter plastic soft drink bottles make great planters and vases. The dark plastic bottom comes off with the help of a little hot water. They make nice shallow pots. They even have drainage holes. A few holes can be punched near the rim and one can be used as a hanging planter. Cut off the actual bottle at the shoulder, or at any height you like and they can be used as a vase or for rooting clippings and deep planters. They’re attractive and they’re free!

SUMMER ACTIVITIES Summer brings us happy fun-filled days in the great outdoors, with more time devoted to active sports, especially swimming. Swimming is marvelous exercise but parents should realize that their children can experience twists, falls and muscular strains that result in displacement of spinal vertebrae. Any interference with a child's supply of nerve energy may result in lower resistance, discomfort and body malfunction of many kinds. See that your child gets chiropractic care after any swimming accident or any mishap. Prompt attention prevents little problems from becoming more serious.

Dear Abby Want to run that one by me one more time?
DEAR ABBY: Having just read your column about how some people murder the English language, here are some examples taken from actual letters received by the local welfare department in applications for support: 1. “I am forwarding my marriage certificate and six children. I had seven, but one died which was baptized on a half sheet of paper.” 2. “Mrs. Jones has not had any clothes for a year and a half and has been visited regularly by the clergy.” 3. “I am glad to report that my husband who is missing, is dead.” 4. “I am very annoyed to find that you brand my son illeterate (sic). This is a dirty lie, as I was married a week before he was born.” 5. “Please find out for certain if my husband is dead? The man I am living with can’t eat or do anything until he knows.” 6. “I am forwarding my marriage certificate and three children, one of which is a mistake as you can see.” 7. “My husband got his project cut off two weeks ago, and I haven’t had any relief since.” 8. “Unless I get my husband’s money pretty soon, I will be forced to live an immortal life.” 9. “You have changed my little boy to a girl, will this make a difference?” 10. “I have no children as yet as my husband is a truck driver and works day and night.” 11. “I want money quick as I can get it. I have been in bed with the doctor for two weeks, and he doesn’t do me any good.” LILLIAN ARMET (AGE 80), FAR ROCKAWAY, N.Y.
DEAR LILLIAN: Thanks for a delightful day-brightener. DEAR ABBY: Here’s a letter from a man for a change: I never know what to do when my wife and I are in a restaurant and a lady comes to our table. I stand up, then she says, “Please sit down.” Abby, I’m not about to sit down while a lady is standing by our table talking with my wife. If I say, “I’ll get you a chair,” she says, “No, thanks. I’m only going to stay a minute,” then she keeps talking and talking and talking. Meanwhile I’m standing there while my dinner gets cold. What’s correct here? GARDEN GROVE, CALIF. DEAR GARDEN: Offer the lady a chair. If she refuses, remain standing. Once you sit down, you’ll never get rid of her. * * *
DEAR ABBY: My friend’s daughter was married last week in a beautiful wedding in a synagogue. I was greatly surprised yes, shocked to see the bride’s greataunt walking down the aisle as the matron of honor! The fact that the bride’s mother is very fond of her elderly aunt is totally irrelevant in my opinion. I think the bridal party should consist of young adults, full of life, not someone like this little old 75-year-old lady. She looked so out of place. I just couldn’t believe my eyes! What could that bride have been thinking when she had so many young friends and relatives to choose from? I hope this is not a new trend.

What is your opinion? NEW YORK POST READER DEAR READER: If you expected support for your opinion, you rattled the wrong cage. Weddings are celebrations of love, and when it comes to love, age is irrelevant. I think choosing a 75-year-old matron of honor is truly wonderful. * * * DEAR ABBY: An article in a recent issue of Reader’s Digest lays practically all the blame for impoliteness in America on the young. This is nothing new. The older generation has always criticized the younger generation. I would like to defend today’s youth: I have witnessed several instances where an older person showed no consideration for a younger person. For example: An older gentleman pushed ahead of me to pay at a gas station. When I informed him that I was also waiting in line, he said, “I just have to give the cashier my $20.”
“And I just have to give the cashier my $10,” I replied. “Then giue it to him!” he said curtly. Abby, I’m 24, but many people mistake me for a teen-ager because I look like one. Consequently, I am treated like a kid and know firsthand that most adults are very rude to kids. They either think that kids have no rights, or they lump them together as “troublemakers.” The problem of rudeness in this country is not the fault of the young people; it’s the fault of the older generation who are responsible for teaching courtesy and setting a good example for the younger generation to follow. SETTING MY OWN EXAMPLE DEAR SETTING: Hear, hear!
♦ ♦ ♦ DEAR READERS: One of the great journalists of our time, George Seldes, age 96, who interviewed, argued and broke bread with Isadora Duncan, Albert Einstein, Freud, Trotsky, Lenin, Mussolini, Col. McCormick, Eleanor Roosevelt, Errol Flynn, Hemingway and hundreds of other notables, has written a fascinating book titled “Witness to a Century” (Ballantine). It’s the perfect gift for a friend whose intelligence you respect. Treat that friend to this delicious literary smorgasbord, and buy one for yourself so you two can discuss it. But don’t lend your copy to anyone. You’ll never get it back. * * ♦ (To get Abby’s booklet, “How to Write Letters for All Occasions,” send a check or money order for $2.50 and a long, stamped (39 cents), self-ad-dressed envelope to: Dear Abby, Letter Booklet, P.O.
