Dear Abby Center’s grand opening may be grounded

DEAR ABBY: I recently bought a day-care center and am now planning the grand opening. I have a wonderful 28-year-old sister living in a distant state and I would love to fly her here for the opening. She’s terrific with children and would make a perfect clown dressed up in costume and makeup. Sis weighs around 285 pounds; she’s hysterically funny and has a glow about her that children love. The problem is that I am not sure she will be able to fit into a regular coach airline seat, and I would hate to have to buy two seats for her. Maybe one of your readers has had this problem and has a solution. ARIZONA SISTER DEAR SISTER: My office contacted six major airlines: American, Continental, Delta, Northwest, TWA and United. Only one —Delta—has a weight guideline: If the passenger weighs more than 200 pounds, purchasing a second seat is recommended at a 50 percent discount of the full coach fare. Northwest offers no discounts on second seats. Most of the other airlines discount 50 percent of full fare for second seats. With airline regulations

Abigail Van Buren

changing from day to day, you would be wise to call the airline from which you will be buying the ticket and ask them the dimensions of its coach seats to determine whether a second seat is needed. * * * DEAR ABBY: I had the same trouble as “Sitter in Waiting” when I used to baby-sit as a teen-ager. I hated to ask for my money, and I sometimes waited for weeks before I was paid. (A few people even got away with never paying me.) My mom came up with a great solution. When they would call me to baby-sit, I’d tell them they would

have to leave a S2O deposit. Then when they came home, I’d give them the change, if any was due. Also, some people would avoid paying right away by saying, “Oh, I’m sorry, all I have is a S2O bill. Do you have change?” Back in my babysitting days, very few, if any teenagers had change for a “twenty.” After that happened a couple of times, my mother made sure I always had change. (Thanks, Mom!) Abby, tell “Sitter in Waiting” to be strong, and don’t back down! Y. EVANS, VERNON, CONN. DEAR Y. EVANS: I did. And thanks for the solution to the “Sorry, all I have is a S2O bill” excuse. However, the rates for baby-sitting have gone up considerably since you sat. Today, they’d have to leave a SSO deposit. * ♦ * Most teen-agers do not know the facts about drugs, AIDS, and how to prevent unwanted pregnancy. It’s all in Abby’s updated, expanded booklet, “What Every Teen Should Know.” To order, send a business-size, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby, Teen Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, 111. 61054. (Postage is included.)

Heloise

Dishwashing soap, chlorine bleach are hazardous mix Dear Heloise: My mother says you aren’t supposed to mix dishwashing detergent and chlorine bleach together to use as a cleaner but she’s unsure of exactly why. Can you help us? Sally C., Conway, Ark. Your mother is right! According to the Soap and Detergent Association, you should avoid mixing hand-dishwashing detergents with chlorine bleach. Some formulations contain ingredients, especially ammonia, that are incompatible with chlorine, and hazardous gases may be released. Heloise PLASTIC WADING POOL Dear Heloise: Recently a neighbor was discarding a small wading pool. It was cracked and wouldn’t hold water. 1 took it and used waterproof tape inside and out to seal the crack, then added two bags of sand. My children, Samantha and Adam, got a very inexpensive sandbox. They are entertained for hours and there’s one less piece of plastic in the landfill. Also, an old shower curtain held with four clip clothespins are the cover to keep out the rain and local cats. Mrs. Sherri L. Stanton, Old Forge, Pa. HANDY HINT Dear Heloise: It seemed I was always throwing away an important receipt, phone number or address. To keep this from happening, I started folding the paper so that the writing is always on the outside. This way I see the writing and 1 read it before simply tossing it away. Doris Greene, San Diego, Calif. SAFETY RAZORS Dear Heloise: Both sexes use safety razors, either refillable or throwaway. They get clogged with shaving soap and hair cuttings. To clean them quickly, I use my water tooth cleaner as a pressurized waterjet. It sure beats brushing, picking and unpressurized flushing. C.W. Brown, Rising Sun, Md. HANDY COMB Dear Heloise: 1 have found that a finetooth comb works great to remove lint and fuzz from self-gripping fabric tape fasteners. Joy Harris, Middletown, Ohio WEDDING-BAND EARRINGS Dear Heloise: Recently I lost my husband and didn’t know what to do with his solid-gold wedding band. I didn’t want to leave it in a box just to look at or wear it on a chain since it was too large to wear on my finger. Then Ithought, why not have earrings made out of it. I asked a jeweler friend if it could be done and he said yes. He cut the wedding band in half and attached a gold post to one end of each half. This made a beautiful pair of earrings that I now wear with pride. I think this is a nice way to get use as well as sentiment out of a ring that meant so much. Gertrude Dumas, West Palm Beach, Fla. It is, and I’m sure many others will now be wearing very special earrings. Bless you. Heloise HINTS FROM HIM Dear Heloise: Need a quick shoe shine? I have the perfect answer: petroleum jelly. Just rub in on patentleathershoes and buff. You’ll be able to see yourself in the shine. Billy D., Salina, Kan.

The snow-gray sky has lifted to reveal promising patches of blue. Timid rays of sunlight reflect upon glistening black pavement. "Good," I think, with relief, "I can make that appointment after all! The roads are safe once more." Happily humming along with the car radio, I am interrupted as I hear, "The roads continue to be hazardous in places. What appears to be merely water may be ice. Use extreme caution."

This weekly message is sponsored by these local businesses:

How often danger masquerades as a pleasant and harmless situation, usually when we least expect it. In order that we might be more effectively vigilant, we must worship God regularly, and become familiar with the warnings in His Word . . . paying close attention always. The Bible warns us in Proverbs 3:5-6, "... do not rely on your own insight. In all ways acknowledge Him, (God) and He will make straight your paths."
