TERRY IN COLUMBUS
POLLY'S PROBLEM
Widower Not
Tarrying Kind
DEAR TERRY: Congratulation*. But don’t knock the
one-to-one date. My nail tells me that there's a lot of
loneliness in the world, and although you may prefer the
large cocktail party, it is not the happiest hunting ground
for all singles.

POLLY'S POINTERS
Polly Cramer

DEAR ANOTHER: Thanks for offering my readers some
valuable advice. It's free to them, but you have already paid
for it. And dearly.
Stale rye cleans hats
By Polly Cramer
DEAR ABBY: ANONYMOUSLY YOURS told of not
visiting her 87 year-old father because her stepmother is a
non-stop talker.
Please tell her more strongly to visit them! Our dear
father, now dead, was denied frequent visits from his
children due to our over-aggressive, talkative stepmother,
whom Dad married for companionship after a long and lov-
ing marriage with our mother.
My children never got to know my father as they should
have. And my stepmother has mellowed with the years so
that we can all enjoy her now.
ANOTHER ANONYMOUS
DEAR ABBY: A Texas widow complained because her
friends never got around to introducing her to any eligible
men.
May I say a word from the man's point of view? I was 53
when my wife died. Soon, well-meaning friends started to fix
me up with eligible women.
Good ole Bill and his cute wife, Jeanette, had me to din-
ner. The only other guest was Jeanette's widowed
mother-a pleasant, quiet little lady (about 60) whose only
claim to fame was her ability to make pumpkin pie. Frankly,
she was not my cup of tea, but I felt obligated to ask her for
a date anyway.
Then good ole Charlie and his kind-hearted wife, Lucille,
fixed me up with a “terrific" woman who had loads of money
and was a whiz at bridge. Well, I hate bridge and wasn't
looking for a meal ticket, so that didn't work out. I had many
such experiences. All flops.
I am no great catch myself, but I know what I want in a
woman and none of my friends came up with anything that
filled the bill.
Abby, if people really want to help singles meet someone,
they should invite them to a casual cocktail party with lots
of people. An eyeball to-eyeball confrontation is not fertile
soil in which the fragile seedling of romance can flower.
Fortunately, I found a lovely lady all by myself with no
help from anyone.
DEAR ABBY: A few weeks ago I read in your column,
CONFIDENTIAL TO "THIRTEEN AND SCARED TO
DEATH OF MY STEPDAD." It weighed heavily on my
mind because at 13,1, too, was scared to death of my step
father who had been sexually molesting me since I was bare
ly 11. He was even violent at times. My scars speak for
themselves. ,
When I told my mother, whe gave the excuse that he was
drunk. (End of subject for her.) ’
When I got married at 18, my stepfather was still after
me. One day he came to my home and tried to overpower
me; I pumped seven bullets into his body and killed him on
the spot.
I stood trial for second-degree murder.* The jury
deliberated 10 minutes and ruled it self-defense.
After two years with a psychologist I am finally beginning
to feel human. Understanding yourself and your motivations
is a wealth beyond measure.
I pray with all my heart that the 13-year-old girl takes
your advice and tells the police, the welfare office, a teacher
or someone who can help her. The day-to-day fear of being
molested is terrible to live with. I know.
Thanks for printing letters like this. You do more good
than you realize. Keep up the goodwork. . ..
BEEN THROUGH IT
DEAR POLLY — My men’s felt hats need cleaning
service in my area. Would you or some of your readers
know of a cleaning formula? Thank you, roily, I enjoy
your column. — ED
DEAR ED — Try rubbing your hats with pieces of
stale rye bread and then brash well. — POLLY

DEAR POLLY - If your doctor suggests a croup tent or
vaporizer for a cough open all four legs of a card table, slip
two legs between the mattress and springs at the head of the
bed, drape a sheet over the other two legs, put the vaporizer
on a chair beside the bed and sleep with the head under this
tent.
This works wonders as one cannot vaporize an entire room.
When used for a child be sure the vaporizer is well away from
the bed so the child cannot reach it. Fasten the sheet so it
cannot be pulled off and get tangled around the head.
When frosting a cake cut three or four strips of waxed
paper that are about 3 inches wide. Slip these between the
cakc and the plate and when the cake is iced slip out the paper
and the cake plate will be clean. — G.L., an R.N.
DEAR POLLY - After washing a window dry it on the
inside with a sideways motion and on the outside with an up
and down motion. If there are any streaks remaining you will
know right away whether they are on the inside or the outside
of the window
The space around light switches takes quite a beating every
day so frequently looks smudged. Take the plate off, clean the
area around the switch and then apply a thin coat of clear
shellac. The wall switch area will then be easy to clean wift a
quick swish with a damp cloth. — hiTHEL
