DEAR POLLY — I would like to know how I can
freshen some roasted peanuts. Th«(nk you. - DELORES
DEAR DELORES — Spread them oat on a cookie
sheet and roast on a 300-degree oven for about 30
minutes. Ever so often turn them with a spatula. —
POLLY
DEAR POLLY — Now that the cold weather is here I carry
a box of cream of tartar in the glove compartment of my car.
When the windshield wipers become inefficient L lightly sprin-
kle a bit of the cream of tartar on the windshield, run the
wipers and soon have a clean windshield. Of course, the
windshield has to be wet for this to work. — MRS. F.H.
DEAR POLLY — When ordering items through the mail I
zrlways write .the address ,of the company on the check stub so
it is easy to find if I need'to write about the order. — M3. “*
DEAR POLLY — My Pointer is for bifocal wearers who go
to gatherings where they are given introductory name tags to
wear. Instead of writing your name in large letters on the tag,
write your name in small letters so when someone else reads
your name, they will have to be close enough to you so you can
read their names. So many times when a stranger (or an old
acquaintance whose name you cannot remember) reads your
name they are standing so far away from you that all you can
see on their tag is a blur. — MRS. J.E.
DEAR POLLY — I often put my out-going mail in my mail
box so the postman can pick it up, but one day it was raining
very hard and, not wanting my letters to get wet, I put them in
a plastic bag and the mailman complimented me on this good
idea. - ELISABETH

At Wit's End
By Erma Bombeck
Since the holidays, Mother has been looking a little
peaked. It’s nothing you can put your finger on — just
a lot of dragging from chair to chair and heavy
sighing.
When I saw her doctor at a social gathering, I
mentioned mother to him and he suggested we run a
G.S. series on her.
“What’s a G.S. series?” I asked.
“Garage Sale,” he said, popping a cheese puff into
his mourn. “Run an old ice cream freezer before her
eyes and say, ‘I’d let this go for a buck,’ or a chipped
candy dish that you’d be willing to sacrifice for a
quarter and see how she reacts”
“That’s going to make her well? ”
“I’ve seen women at death’s door who hiked three
miles in the dark to get dibs on last year’s calendar
and a box of melted candle stubs. It’s worth a shot.”
The next time I saw Mother, I mentioned I had a
pair of cuff links with scorpions on them, a lawn chair
that wouldn’t open, a drinking glass with-supicture of
Johnny Bench on it, a jewel box that played “Happy
Days Are Here Again,” and four milk-stained bibs.
Mother’s blank face slowly came alive. Her droopy
shoulders straightened, her limp hands became
clenched and she stood up and announced, “That
sounds like the beginning of a garage sale.”
From that moment on, she became a blur. She
moved the cars from the garage to the street, hung
lines for display, carted card tables out of closets and
attics, posted signs, ran ads, orchestrated the
comings and goings of merchandise and barked or-
ders like a dock worker unloading the QEII.
It was like watching a transformation in slow
motion. Her steps quickened, her cheeks flushed with
excitement, her humor was restored, her wit shar-
pened, and I would have been willing to bet this frail
woman would never have been able to carry a
grillrotisserie under her arm a week ago.
The day of the sale was her finest hour. “No, dear,
we don’t do alterations.” “You want that stuffed
hamster head or not? I got three waiting.” “Ask
yourself, if the boots didn’t have a hole in them, would
you be able to buy them for 50 cents?” “We don’t
deliver. Who do you think we are, Saks?” “We call
that a husband and put him down, he’s not for sale.
He’s just resting.”
I asked the doctor if all G.S. series were that suc-
cessful.
He said, “If a woman doesn’t respond to a garage
sale, very frankly, I’m not too optimistic about her.”

smile!

By ROBERT
WALLACE, Ed.D.
Copley News Service
Teens: Depending on the
situation, a smile may be
anything from cheerful to
sly but regardless of the
kind, smiles vary in frequen-
cy from country to country.
The Japanese smile a
great deal while the British
are not known for their smil-
ing. In the United States,
Southerners have been found
to be the biggest smilers.
Americans who smile least
live near the Great Lakes.
Remember it is easier to
smile than to frown. We’ve
got the British beat. Let’s
emulate the Japanese —
smile, it’s contagious.
Dr. Wallace: Last week I
attended a professional bas-
ketball game in San Diego
with my dad. Almost all the
players were black. Why is it
that way?
Can you please tell me the
percentage of blacks in the
National Basketball Associ-
ation. — Mitch, El Centro,
Calif.
Mitch: Professional bas-
ketball is a business and to
make money, a franchise
must produce a winner.
Therefore, the owners of the
team sign the best players,
available, regardless of skin
color.
What you see when you
see a professional National
Basketball Association game
are the best basketball play-
ers in the world.
Presently 253 players are
active in the NBA, and 182
are black and that is 72 per-
cent.
Let's not confuse the issue
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Set
out to try to gain the confidence
of someone who can pull the
right strings for you to help you
get something you want. They’re
receptive today.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) It isn’t
likely you'll be shy about stating
your position today, but the rea-
son you’ll succeed in your cause
Is that you combine both logic
and optimism in your presenta-
tion.
VIRQO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Don't
let that extra energy today go to
waste. There are larger-than-
average rewards available If you
extend the needed efforts.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) It will
be hard to keep you off center
stage today. Your natural leader-
ship qualities impel you to take
charge. Others won’t mind — in
fact, they’ll welcome this.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
Chances are it'll be impossible to
sit idly by today and do nothing
about the Inequities you see.
Your strong sense of justice
makes you act to eliminate them.
8AQITTARIU8 (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)
This Is the day to tighten the ties
with a recent acquaintance. Take
the initiative to strengthen the

. DEAR DR. LAMB -
Recently I .had my regular
checkup and the doctor said I
was a little anemic. He sched-
uled me to come back in six
weeks for another test. He
said that if I was still low that
he would, have to ^special
tests to see what was causing
it. I was wondering if I
couldn’t just take some iron
tablets and correct this on my
own without having the tests.
DEAR READER - You
might just confuse the issue.
Your doctor wants to know
what kind of anemia you have
before he starts treating you.
And he may find you don’t
really have a significant
anemia at all with the repeat
tests.
There are several different
kinds of anemia and that
makes a difference in the
choice of treatment for best
results. You can have an
anemia because you don’t
have enough iron. That is par-
ticularly likely to happen to
young women in the
childbearing age Or you can
have an anemia because you
have chronic bleeding. That is
important. A cancer of the
large bowel may be the under-
lying cause of an anemia.
The bone marrow may not
be producing enough red
blood cells. This can be from
many different causes, too.
Sometimes this is a response
to any of a number of medi-
cines. Sometimes it is from
exposure to some toxic agent
you are unaware of. Then, too,
the bone marrow may fail
with increasing age for no evi-
dent reason.
Still another cause of anem-
ia is an inadequate amount of
vitamin B-12. This may be
from an inability to absorb B-
12 because a vital chemical is
absent from your stomach.
In order not to confuse the
issue, I must urge you to fol-
low your doctor’s orders. The
different causes of anemias
are discussed in The Health
Letter number 4-3, Under-
standing the Anemias, which I
am sending you. Others who
want this issue can send 75
cents with a long, stamped,
self-addressed envelope for it

Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
to me, in care of this newspa-
al periods because theyare on
fad diets. A woman apparent-
ly needs to have a certain
amount of body fat for normal
hormone function. When you
get too lean the brain stops
releasing a hormone that
stimulates the pituitary gland
which in turn stimulates the
ovaries. That is thought to be
one reason why women ath-
letes may develop menstrual
disorders.
While it is not foolproof, a
good guide for you is your
menstrual periods. If you are
having a normal cycle, you
are probably able to get preg-
nant. Nevertheless, since you
sound like you may be a little
on the thin side, a few pounds
might help. Otherwise check
again with your gynecologist
if you have not become preg-
nant within a year’s time.

DEAR DR. LAMB - I real-
ize the importance of proper
nutrition during pregnancy,
but would there be any con-
nection between proper nutri-
tion and getting pregnant? I
have been trying to become
pregnant for some time. I am
typical of today’s youth, rush-
ing day in and day out, often
with skimpy meals to main-
tain my weight. I’m 26 years
old, 5 feet 3 and 114 pounds.
Although my gynecologist
found my husband and me
medically capable, I was
embarrassed to ask about
this.
DEAR READER - That is
a good question. Many young
women and even mature
women have absent menstru-

Scripture Reading for Today: Galatians 6:6-10
"SHE WAS KINDNESS ITSELF!"
Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is
in the power of thine hand to do it. Proverbs 3:27
, NE of the many victims of the flu epidemic that
raged across America after the First World War
was my dear grandmother Geraldine Vander Werp.
Her death was both sudden and unexpected. Though she
had been a minister's wife, she found it difficult to stand
up and speak in public. Grandma may have been short on
words, but she was long on good works! Many who at-
tended her funeral remarked that her heart overflowed
with warmth and helpfulness whenever she saw anyone
in need. The pastor who conducted her service compared
her to Dorcas, a woman "full of good works” (Acts 9:36-
39). The elderly people who knew her have often remind-
ed me of one unforgettable statement he made about her
in his message. With sadness and great admiration, the
minister remarked, "Geraldine was so full of the love of
Christ that she was kindness itself!" And he was right.
Throughout her life she had faithfully practiced the words
of our text. She never withheld an act of love from any
sad Or destitute person if it was in her power to bestow it.
An unknown poet has emphasized the urgency of doing
good tp all who cross our path. He wrote: "If you have
kind words to say,/ Say them now./ Tomorrow may not
come your way,/ So do a kindness while you may,/ For
loved ones will not always stay—/ Say them now./ If you
have a smile to show,/ Show it now./ So make hearts
happy—roses grow,/ And let the friends around you know/
The love you have before they go—/ Show it now."
When you come to the end of life, will others be able
to say that you were "kindness itself"? —H.G.B.
If any little deed of ours
Can make one life the brighter,
Cod help us do that deed of love
And make one heart the lighter. —Anon.
THOT: If you sow seeds of kindness, youll reap a harvest of
love.

Sandra: Believe me, there
are more 12-year-old girls in
the United States and Cana-
da who are not dating and
"making out” than those who
are. Dating is a very import-
ant function in a teen’s life
but it should not be a “do it
because everyone else is
doing it” game.
Dating demands many re-
sponsibilities - from you,
your date, and both sets of
parents. The most important
element in dating is social
and emotional maturity.
Don’t allow peer pressure to
make you feel left opt. In-
stead, feel secure that your
time for dating will come
when you are capable of ful-
filling all of your responsi-
bilities. An important
ingredient in maturity is
time. Be patient.

case you get tired of listening
to shortwave. /
Tuning was one important
test of receiver performance.
How well the raaio can single
out a particular station and
pull in its signal is critical,
since shortwave stations
aren’t neatly spaced (like AM
or FM stations) and, in fact,
often overlap and get in one
another's way.
Digital-readout tuning
made pinpointing stations a
breeze. More cumbersome,
but almost as accurate, were
the models with “calibrated
bandspread” tuning. The engi-
neers also checked the accu-
racy of each radio’s calibra-
tions and the ease with which
the scales could be read.
Other performance factors
important in judging a model
were selectivity (the ability to
separate stations close togeth-
er on the dial); dynamic range
(the difference between the
weakest and strongest signals
the radio can receive without
overload distortion), and high-
band sensitivity (how well the
receiver can bring in weak
signals out of background
noise).
Low noise and low drift are
important to reduce the
station-crowding effects on
single-sideband, the special
signals used by many amateur
radio stations and some ser-
vices such as Citizens Band.
Each receiver has automatic
gain control to keep loudness
generally uniform; some also
have an automatic noise-lim-
iting switch to reduce electri-
cal interference.
Don’t be surprised if sta-
tions: or noises occur where
they shouldn’t on the dial. Spu-
rious responses, as they are
called, turned up on all the
radios, although to varying
degrees.

Of the shortwave radios

the Yaesu FRG7000 to be in a

its high overall quality comes
a high price - $655.
The Sony ICF6700W ($440),
Panasonic RF4900 (about
$525) and Yaesu FRG7 ($370)
weren’t in the same league as
the top-rated Yaesu, but were
quite good and a lot less
expensive. Six portable radios
were also,tqgted, hut were,
judged significantly lower in
overall quality than most of
the table models.
