Arguing in front of the kids
THE NEWS-TELEGRAM, Sulphur Spring*, Texas, Wednesday, May 21,1980—3.
dear dr. BLAKER - I
believe it is very important
never to fight with my hus-
band in front of the children.
First of all, our arguing is
none of the children’s busi-
ness. Second, it upsets them
unnecessarily.
My husband doesn’t agree
He says it takes the spontanei-
ty out of our relationship if we
can't express ourselves when
something irritates us.
What should we do about
this difference of opinion7
DEAR READER - Do not
fight about this in front of the
children! They could easily
end up feeling guilty about
causing the fight. This conflict
is better resolved in privacy.
What's best for the children
is actually a compromise
between your points of view.
Hiding all quarrels is detri-
mental because children feel
tension in the air. If they don't
have any evidence that a disa-
greement is actually in prog-
ress, they begin to doubt their
"radar.”
Eventually, such unreal sit-
uations can cause youngsters
to lose their senses of reality.
Children should not, howev-
er, be subjected to parental
fighting that is completely
unscreened. And certain rules
should be followed.
Do not, for example, try to
get the children on your side
during a fight
Do not take out your frus-
trations about the argument
on your children.
And once the fight is over,
clear the air as quickly as pos-
sible and let the children
know that all is well again.
DEAR DR BLAKER -
Could a mental block be caus-
ing my infertility problem?
My husband and I have
been trying to conceive for
many years.
We have been to a lot of
doctors and they all say the
same thing. They can’t find
any physical reason why we
can’t have a baby.
All this, of course, has cost
a small fortune.
My age will become a prob-
lem if we don’t succeed in the
near future. To tell you the
truth, I am very worried.
DEAR READER - Psy-
chological factors can play a
significant role in a couple’s
failure to conceive. But the
infertility experts you saw
>ably hav
apy if they
would solve your problem.
xper
would probably have suggest-
ed therapy if they had felt it
Before you give up and con-
sider other solutions such as
adoption, talk to the people at
the Infertility Organization in-
White Plains, N.Y. Leave a
message at their hot-line
number: (914) 723-1687. One
of them will return your call.
You will be asked about the
examinations, tests and proce-
dures you have undergone and
for the names of the experts
you have consulted. They will
then help you plan the next
step in your quest for an
answer to your problem.

Consumer Reports
Letter-perfect typing
By the Editors
of Consumer Reports
If your correspondence
must be letter-perfect in
appearance, a portable manu-
al typewriter might not be up
to the task. But if portability
is your main concern, then a
manual is your best bet.
None of the 33 manual mod-
els tested by Consumer
Reports could rival a good
electric for consistently high-
quality print work. Even with
the best of the tested manuals,
copy appearance depends to
some extent on the typist’s
touch.
A heavy-handed typist
could produce dark copy, a
light-handed typist light copy.
For those who type unevenly
or in spurts, copy could have
an uneven look. Touch is much
less of a problem wth electric
machines, whose keys hit the
paper with about the same
force no matter how heavy or
light the touch.
Still, electric models
advertised as “portable” usu-
ally weigh from 25 to 30
pounds — compared to the
usual 10 to 15 pounds for
manuals. And an electric ties
you to a wall outlet, while a
manual will go just about any-
where you can.
In addition, the tested man-
ual machines were generally
less expensive than their elec-
tric counterparts. The elec-
trics Consumer Reports tested
Ni
in 1977 were often twice the
rice of manuals evaluated in
ovember 1979.
To test typewriters, Con-
sumer Reports assembled a
panel of competent touch typ-
ists who used each machine
thoroughly.
The panelists selected nine
machines as clear favorites.
(Consumer Reports’ engineers
also evaluated the machines
for special features and for
copy quality.)
For print quality, the Royal
Champion L and the Hermes
3000 deserve first considera-
tion. Two Smith-Corona mod-
els — the Classic 12 and the
Galaxie Twelve — were
judged about as good, but only
for panelists with a light
touch. Another of the better
copy producers, the Olympia
SM9-13, was among those
having a wide carriage, a fea-
ture that allows you to insert
standard letter-size stationery
sideways.
If you’re buying a portable
manual typewriter as a gift,
make sure to get return privi-
leges. A machine that suits
your touch may not be the one
someone else needs. Of
course, if you’re shopping for
yourself, there are several
points you can check in the
showroom.

Ego needs attention
By ROBERT WALLACE, Ed.D. .
Copley News Service
Dr. Wallace: I’m an 18-year-old guy who has good looks, a
great build and a fantastic girlfriend.
My problem Is that girls keep coming over to my house
and are calling me on the phone all the time.
I’m true to my girl and tell them I’m going steady, but
that doesn’t seem to stop them. It seems that I have a
problem that I can’t handle. What should I do? — Steve,
Goshen, Ind.
Steve: It appears to me that these girls continue to
"bother" you because your ego needs this attention.
What you should do, if you do not want this attention, is to
politely but firmly inform the girls that their attention is not
appreciated. Believe me, when the young ladies get this
message, they will leave you alone.
„ Dr. Wallace: 1 have a very upsetting problem and 1 hope
you can possibly help me. I have been married for six
months now. I got married when I was 19 and I’m now 20.
Shortly after my 20th birthday, my husband left me. He has
been gone for a month.
We fought just like all newly married couples. The
difference is, he was married once before.
He is now living with his folks and says he is not coming
back. He has filed for divorce.
I love him very much but nothing 1 say will change bis
mind. Is there a way to get this marriage annulled? Or can
you suggest possible ways of getting him back? — Dana,
South Lake Tahoe, Calif.
Dana: First contact a competent attorney who will be
able to determine if the marriage can be annulled. You will
also need this lawyer to protect your interests in case of a
divorce.
Now, getting your husband to return sounds like an
improbable task. But nothing ventured, nothing gained. Go
to his parents and ask their advice. No one knows him
better.
Dr. Wallace: 1 have a 21-year-old cousin whom I met at a
family wedding. He asked me to dance and was very sweet
to me. That happened about a year and a half ago.
Now this guy is in prison and I beard from my mother
that he was asking about me and this made me very happy.
I think I love him and was wondering if I should write to
him and tell him bow I feel about him.
I’m 16 years old. I haven’t seen him since the wedding. —
Cris, Delphos, Ohio
Cris: No. Do not write to him and tell him your feelings. If
you do write to him, remember, he is family, so keep your
letter impersonal.
Write to Dr. Robert Wallace, TwEEN 12 and 20 in care of
this newspaper. Please enclose a stamped, self-addressed
envelope.

Don't overwork injured joint
Rural Town Kills
Annual Meeting
COVERT, Mich. (AP) -
While most eyes were on the
presidential primary, the
residents of Covert Township
in Van Buren County were
considering another crucial
issue : whether to abolish the
township's annual meeting.
When the unofficial tally
was in Tuesday night, the
town meeting was no more.
Residents of the southwest
lower Michigan community
decided 124-45 to end the
yearly gathering because
business that had been
conducted there — setting
salaries, establishing a
budget — was being resolved
in weekly supervisors'
meetings or settled by the
state legislature.
DEAR DR LAMB — My maintain their mobility. It’s
id o
doctor says 1 have osteoar-
thritis. I have some stiffness
not true that you should over-
work an injured joint.
P health
Lawrence E. Lamb. M.D.
in my knees and hips and
quite a bit of pain. I can usual-
ly control the pain with aspi-
rin. My question is, should I be
doing more exercise? I’ve
heard that if you keep moving
your joints they’re not likely
to get stiff. I don’t want to
lose the function of my legs. I
don’t mind exercising even if
it hurts if it will enable me to
remain active.
DEAR READER - Your
idea is good and a lot of peo-
ple believe that they need to
exercise to keep their joints
working properly but that’s
only a half truth. That means
it’s also half wrong and can
cause you a lot of trouble.
Osteoarthritis or degenera-
tive arthritis is the type of
change that most of us experi-
ence With age. Current think-
ing is that injury, possibly
from weight bearing, causes
an inflammatory response.
It's perfectly true that you
need to move your joints
through their full range of
motion several times a day to
Exercise to maintain your
flexibility and movement of
your joints should be directed
toward moving them passive-
ly through the full range of
motion.
The rest of your exercise
program should be limited to
the point that it doesn’t cause
a lot of pain. Pain is nature's
signal that something is
wrong and it usually means
that the part involved should
be rested and not overworked.
Complete inactivity and fail-
ure to move the joints through
their full range of motion can
lead to loss of function.
