This little piggie needs help
Dear Ann Landert: The
problem is my 19-year-old
brother. In one evening “Carl”
can eat a pound of luncheon
meat, a box of cereal, three
quarts of milk, a loaf of bread, a
gallon of ice cream and a whole
9 by 12 cake. No box of cookies
or bag of candy or soft drink is
safe when Carl is -around. He
eats everything in sight. It
would never occur to him to
leave something for someone
else.
Carl has never had a job in his
life and doesn’t want to work.
The family goes to bed about 10
o’clock. The hog stays up till 4
a.m. watching TV or listening to
the radio. This gives him six
hours to eat anything he can lay
his hands on. He isn’t fat
because he makes himself
throw up when he is through
stuffing himself. Through your
column he knows what he is
doing to his health but couldn’t
care less.
My mom and dad yell their
guts out about his pigishness
and refusal to work, but it goes
in one ear and out the other. I
am 15 and embarrassed when
people ask what Carl is doing
now that he has graduated. The
answer, of course, is “He’s
eating.” What do you suggest,
Ann? — Going Mahoola
Dear Mahoo: Your brother is
seriously disturbed and needs
psychiatric care. Your family
doctor should be consulted at
once. Some emotionally ill
people who refuse help change
their minds when they are told
the alternative is a state mental
hospital.
Dear Ann Landers: Recently
someone asked for a good
response to nosy and insensitive
people who ask, "How much did
you pay for that?”
I learned quite a while ago
how to deal with the boors. With
a perfectly straight face, I say,
“Nothing — I stole it."
The same response can be
used when people insist on
paying for something when you
prefer to make a gift of it. It
really works. — M.D. In The
Bronx
Dear M.D,: Thanks for the
assist. An outrageous reply can
be very effective when people
ask nun-uv-yer-bizniz type
questions. I recommend it.
Dear Ann Landers: Thank
you for printing that letter from
the man in Anchorage who was
fleeced by a woman he began

Here is the third hand that
Dr. Manch gave the British
I.R.S. to show how he could
win 20,000 pounds a year at
bridge
He sat East and held the
first trick with the king of
spades. He continued with the
10, which held the second
trick. Had he merely contin-
ued with the third spade,
declarer would make his three
notrump in spite of losing the
finesses in the red suits.
However, the doctor rea-
soned that West could not
have an entry for his spades
and that there could be no
reason to set that suit up. So
he shifted to a club and while
South had time to take the
diamond finesse, he still need-
ed to try the heart finesse.
And by that time the doctor
had set up a club trick against
the unfortunate declarer.
The I.R.S. allowed him only
S.SSJ pounds for this play to
leave him one pound short. We
can’t allow him anything at
all. West might well have led
from A J 8 6 5 of spades and
the club leads would let
declarer romp home if he had
held the queens of both black
suits instead of the spade ace.
You can’t beat the I.R.S.
anywhere. The credits left
him a pound short. This
amounted to six pounds with
interest and penalties and the
doctor was still in trouble.

Handbags smell musty
By Polly Cramer
POLLY'S PROBLEM
story:
I am a divorced woman who
worked in a business establish-
ment where all the men were
married. After three years of
serious looking — and meeting
not one eligible male — I joined
a “dating service.”
I received three “referrals."
Two of the men who were
described as “very desirable”
had no phone number, so I was
never able to contact them. The
third could not remember
whether he has joined the
M-A-S-H
tops TV

NEW YORK (AP) - CBS,
scoring with repeats as it did
with first-run programs, ap-
pears to be building momentum
for the summer television
season.
With “M-A-S-H” in first place
and five other shows in the A.C.
Nielsen Co.’s Top 10, CBS won
the networks’ ratings race for
the third week in a row.
CBS finished the week ending
May 25 with a rating of 15.9 to
14.5 for ABC and 13.7 for NBC.
The networks say that means in
an average prime-time minute
during the week, 15.9 percent of
the homes in the country with
television were tuned to CBS.
CBS completed the 1979-80
prime-time season one-tenth of
one point ahead of four-time
champ ABC.
Of the week’s 10 most-
watched programs, only one —
an NBC special called
"Disasters that Shook the
World” — had not been
previously broadcast. That
show was 10th in the ratings.
The rating for “M-A-S-H”
was 22.7. Nielsen says that
means of all the homes in the
country with TV, 22.7 percent
saw at leapt a portion of the
repeat broadcast.
“Three’s Company” on ABC
finished second, and CBS’
"Dukes of Hazzard” was No. 3.
Movies and specials were
moderately successful in a
week dominated by reruns.
The second installment in
NBC’s three-part "Moviola”
miniseries, ‘‘The Scarlett
O’Hara War," finished in a tie
for 14th place, with Part I of a
two-part NBC movie, “The
Golden Moment,” No. 17.
An ABC movie, “Murder Can
Hurt You,” was 19th, and a CBS
film, “Murder by Natural
Causes," was No. 21.
ABC’s broadcast of “Barry
Manilow — One Voice” was No.
22, with a “Mac Davis An-
niversary Special” on NBC
24th, ‘‘G.E. Presents Cheryl
Ladd” on ABC 38th and “Perry
Como’s Bahamas Holiday,”
also on ABC, tied for 40th.
NBC had three of the week's
five lowest-rated programs,
including a movie, “The
Greatest,” on the life of boxer
Muhammad Ali, in 55th place,
"B.J. and the Bear” 56th and
the second installment in a two-
part movie, “The Kid from Left
Field," 59th - last. An ABC
double feature, “The Long Days
of Summer” and "Reward,”
was No. 57, with another ABC
movie, “Tlie Bad News Bears,”
58th.
Here are the week's top
programs:
“M-A-S-H,” with a rating of
22.7 representing 17.3 million
homes, CBS; “Three’s Com-
pany," 21.6 or 16.5 million,
ABC; “Dukes of Hazzard,” 20.9
or 15.9 million, CBS; "That’s
Incredible,” 20.6 or 15.7 million,
and "Taxi,” 20.5 or 15.6 million,
both ABC; “House Calls,” 20.4
or 15.5 million, CBS; "60
Minutes” and "The Jef-
fersons,” both 19.4 or 14.8
million, both CBS; “Dallas,”
Part 1,18.7 or 14.3 million, CBS,
and "Disasters that Shook the
World," 18.3 or 14 million, NBC.
