DEAR ANN: Much hit been
I said about the sorry state of
nursing homes and the apa-
| thetic personnel Amt staff
them, rd like to give your
I readers an opposing view if I
may.
I am the nurse who cares
for your mother in ttie nurs-
ing home. I see that her basic
physical needs are met hut
that’s not aD 1 do.
Pm the one who worries
about her when she’s sick.
Pm the one who talks to her
when she’s lonely.
Pm the one who gives her
I a bug and a Use when she
needs affection.
I’m the one who tries to
cheer her up when she's de-
pressed.
I’m the one who gets annoy-
ed with you when I have to
explain to her why you don't
I visit her very often.
rm the one who listens
when no one else will.
Tm 25 years old. I give up
half my weekends, most of
my holidays, and the pay is
lousy. Believe me, if I didn't
care, I wouldn’t be here.—
Growing Older Myself
a
MAR GROWING: Thank
you for reminding us that
there are still angels right
here on earth.
I hope your letter will in-
spire other young people to
I give of themselves as you are
doing. The beauty of such a
gift is that the rewards are
tremendous. One of the irre-
futable laws of life—“the hand
that gives, gathers.”
MAR ANN LANMRS: It
is 100 a.m., Pm walking the
floor. Just drank my 12th cup
of coffee, and I’m going
crazy. My husband went to a
stag “with the boys” (he left
the house at six o’clock) and
isn’t home yet.
Bob and I have been mar-
ried three years and have no
children. We both work and
have a good relationship.
He’s a great guy except for
this one fault which drives
me nuts. It seems every few
weeks Bob goes someplace
“with the boys,” He says
he’ll be home by midnight,
but be never is. Usually he
comes rolling in at 2:30 a.m.,
or 3:00. Of course, he’s had
too much to drink which is
part of the problem. When I
ask him why he didn’t tele-
phone to say he’d be late, he
says, “I didn’t think of it.”
I’m sure I’m not the only
woman in the world who has
this problem. Tell me, Ann,
what do other wives do?—
Outa My Mind
MAR OUT: They do the
same as you-walk the floor,
imagine the worst, and worry
themselves sick.
They ask themselves the
same questions, “Where in
the world is he?” and, “If
he’s alive, why doesn’t he
call?” The answers are well
known. He’s in some saloon
and he doesn’t call because
he is slopped to the eyeballs
and his brains are on hold.
I know of no cure for these
selfish heels, so do yourself a
favor and keep busy and en-
tertained. Invite some friends
over for a kaffeklatch. Go to
the theater or to a movie or
a concert or a lecture. And
pray a lot.

Case of sliding slipcovers
By Polly Cramer
POLLY’S PROBLEM
DEAR POLLY — I am having a problem with some
slipcovers I made out of cotton tablecloth and
drapery material. They look nice but keep sliding off
of the cut velour-covered sofas every time someone
sits on them. I have small children and would like to
use the slipcovers for a year or two. Is there anything
I can do so they will stay in place? — M.W.
DEAR M.W. — Perhaps the material Itself has
something to do with the sliding. It may not be woven
firm enough for such nse or may be of a combination
of fibers that make it slick and slippery.
The sofa cushions should bold the body of a cover
in place IF they were made with plenty of play In the
back to be pushed down between the back and seat.
If there are no separate seat cushions the children
will cause constant disarray even with play in the
back. Perhaps you could attach some of the sticking
fasteners in the proper places to help hold them. —
POLLY
DEAR POLLY — We used to have wall-to-wall carpeting
in the bathroom but after a year of bathing small children
the carpet got so wet that it mildewed. We had to take the
carpet out and put down linoleum. Now when I bathe the
children I place an old beach towel in front of the tub. It
gets wet and I just hang it on the side of the tub to dry.
Sometimes when it is very wet I stick it in the dryer. But
the towel saves a lot of mopping up. — VICKIE
DEAR POLLY — An elderly lady told me to put a big dab
of bacon grease in the hole when planting tomatoes
outside. I think the grease attracts ants and they loosen the
soil around the roots as they work at removing the grease.
Up to half a cup of grease for each plant works fine. —
CAROL
DEAR READERS — This is a completely new idea to
me but it is intriguing and would be fun to try. The bacon
grease might be put around just one or two plants the first
time and then compare those plants with the others. —
POLLY
DEAR POLLY — When I burn anything in my stainless
steel pans I use aluminum foil to remove the worst and
then use a household cleanser with the foil. I keep all the
foil that I cannot use for wrapping food so as to have it on
hand for such scrubbing. (Polly’s note — I would think
crumpling the foil into a ball would expedite the work.) —
AUGUSTA
DEAR POLLY — Each time I put deodorant under my
arms I rub my hands under them to get the deodorant on
my hands, too. Then they do not sweat when I crochet or do
fancy work of any kind. — MRS. E.K.

False hope for
rerun relief...
I
By JAY SHARBUTT
AP Television Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) — I got
to wondering recently tf there’ll
be a new network aeries or two
on this summer. CBS and NBC
said no. ABC said it has one,
“Free Country.” But that’s it
So, faced with rampant (R)
on TV this summer, I con-
sidered joining the new protest
group, NWEAEFF. The initials
mean Not Watching Ever
Again Except for Football. It
fights rampant (R).
(Its founder is Marvin
L’Kitman, a retired
presidential candidate from
Long Island, N.Y. Ironically,
his original aim was to protest
ABC’s cancellation of
“Kolchak, the Night Stalker.”)
However, NWEAEFF got put
aside briefly upon the arrival of
the TV listings of an odd
newspaper, the Dacron
Republican-Democrat. The
listings indicate all is not lost
Take Ch. 81, for example.
Ch. 81 is showing a “Firing
line” with “the conclusion of a
debate on welfare reform
between host William F.
Buckley and a 4 lb. 3 oz. small
mouth bass.”
It also has a nightly program
for everyone who likes
“Fantasy Island.” The
program, “Slow News,”
presents “news for the hard-of-
thinking.” Such is public TV in
the town of Dacron.
On the commercial side, Ch. 2
has a lively morning show,
“Get Out of Bed, America.”
Hosted by Bill Beedle, it offers
“news features and what time
it is.”
All the stations have fine soap
operas, such as “Edge of the
Bed,” “Search for a Hospital,”
“The Gathering Bummer” and
“Little House in the Ditch.”
On the game-show side,
there’s “Bowling for Donuts,”
“None That Fool” and “Who
Cares?” Hie last may not be
for kids.
In it, “contestants vie to see
who can feed the most hippies
to a flesh-eating pterodactyl.”
At night, Dacron viewers get
such shows as “Spin-Off,”
where “all of Norman Lear’s
high school classmates who are
still living get prime-time
television comedy shows of
their own.”
There’s also a sitcom version
of “Roots,” in which “the
Kintes try to pay for a mobile
home with goats.”
And don’t forget
“Emergency Clowns,” in
which “Rollo and Biff get an
emergency call to cheer up a
troubled world leader.”
For western fans, there’s
“The 77 Daughters of Josh
McKay.” In it, “daughters 12
through 19 have babies,
daughter 56 gets captured by
Indians and daughter 63 runs
away.” »
Later, Ch. 81, the public TV
channel, has “The Folk Music
of Fish.” But my best-bet
viewing pick would be a 2 a.m.
show on Ch. 13, a new program
called “Fuzz and Static.”
Alas, I’ve just learned all
these listing are bogus. The
newspaper called the Dacron
Republican-Democrat is a
satirical, put-on edition
recently put out by National
Lampoon magazine.
I guess I will join the summer
(R) gripe group, Not Watching
Ever Again Except For
Football. Even though it’s
rumored NBC just bought
“Fuzz and Static” as a summer
series for 1979...
GERALDINE COR VO MAY put on and take off more stockings and pantyhose in one
morning than many women do in an entire year. A quality assurance technician, Corvo
makes sure that the hosiery fits legs of all shapes and sizes. Stockings and pantyhose
that fall to meet with her approval never make it to the sales counters of her employer,

Death row doors open
for innocent prisoner
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) -
Earl Patrick Charles sat in a
cell for 3% years insisting he
was falsely accused of murder-
ing two men. Today he Is a free
man, the burden of his con-
viction swept away by new evi-
dence.
“The thing was, I knew I
didn’t do it,” he said. “That was
the force that helped me believe
I’d someday go free.”
Charles, 25, was released
Wednesday from the Chatham
County Jail, where he had been
held since his arrest in Tampa,
Fla., on charges of murdering
Max and Fred Rosenstein, two
Savannah merchants. The
pro scu tors said they would not
retry him because of new evi-
dence.
“I can’t believe it’s all over,”
said his mother, Flossie Mae
Charles, 49, who fainted In court
when she heard the death
sentence pronounced on her son
in 1975.
His mother “was the first
face I saw” after being released
from prison, he said. “That was
beautiful. My father was a
double dose.”
“I still believed the good Lord
would make a way somehow,”
said his father, Patterson, 62.
Superior Court Judge George
Oliver, who had sentenced
Charles to death on the recom-
mendation of the jury that con-
victed him, ruled June 14 that
prosecutors had to free the 25-
year-old man or retry him be-
cause of new evidence in the
case.
His attorneys had found a po-
lice detective who corroborated
their contention that Charles
was working at a Tampa serv-
ice station when the crime was
committed.
District Attorney Andrew J.
Ryan HI announced Wednesday
that he had no plans to prose-
cute Charles further.
Charles’ attorney, John Sulli-
van, said he was “satisfied”
with the outcome of the case.
“All the evidence points ulti-
mately and unquestionably to a
solid alibi which would be tan-
tamount ... to securing an ac-
quittal” if the case were ret-
ried, he said. “I doubt very se-
riously if the district attorney...
would ever attempt to bring this
to trial.”
Sullivan said he was consid-
ering a civil suit against prose-
cutors for violation of Charles’
civil rights.
“I intend to pursue it in con-
junction with a defgpse team
out of the East that specializes
in these things,” he said.
But Ryan said he had a dear
conscience about the way the
case was handled by his office.
Results of investigations in
the case are attached to the
court order and are a matter of
public record, he said. “I invite
anyone to come in and read It”
Charles, who celebrated Ms
25th birthday in jail Monday,
said he was not bitter.
“It was a bitter pain to serve
that time for something I didn’t
do,” he said. “But I made it
serve me, too. It sure advanced
my outlook on life.” \
