Mothers not only fail to un-

But children with emotion-

thief did not see the child as he
got into the car, leading to the
belief the abduction was ac-
cidental.
Mrs. Plancon disagreed,
however.
“I’m sure he saw Todd in the
front seat of the car before he
jumped into the car and I really
think he knew what he was
doing,” she said.
"The child definitely was
visible; there is no question
about that in my mind.”
Mrs. Plancon, who is expect-
ing another child in April, said
she was talking to the neighbor
Thursday when she “suddenly"
realized the car was moving.”
She frantically gave chase in
her neighbor’s auto, but lost the
thief in traffic.
Police found the car parked
near a cemetery seven hours
later. Its motor was still warm
but there was no sign of Todd
or the thief.
The occupants of the house
where the boy was found, Mr.
and Mrs. RobertSherwood, said
they had just heard a newscast-
er read a story concerning the
missing child when their dog
started barking wildly.
“1 looked out to see what the
dog was barking about and 1
saw the child lying on ... the
porch,” Mrs. Sherwood said.
“My husband ran over and
picked the baby up and brought
him into the house."
Mrs. Sherwood said the boy
seemed bewildered and kept
asking for “Mommy and
Daddy.”
“1 tried to get him to drink
some milk but he wouldn’t,”
Mrs. Sherwood said. “He just
didn’t seem to want anything.”
Sherwood called police while
his wife tucked Todd into bed.
The boy later was taken to a
hospital where he was reported
in good condition. Hospital
spokesmen said, however, he
apparently was suffering from a
“mild case of exposure.”
Temperatures plunged into
the teens in Fairfield during the

symptoms. The clinic direc-
tor stresses the importance of
adequate dosage and empha-
sizes that undermedication may
be the reason drug treatment
does not always work.
Other medications in use at
the Norfolk clinic are describ-

These are listed as Thorazine,
Stelazine, Vesprin, Permitil,
Prolixin, Compazine, Tofranil

No Indication
Nor, Johnson said, have the
Communists given any indica
tion they would not use a
bombing pause to build up their
forces in South Vietnam.
As for his attitude towards
peace negotiations, Johnson
said he preferred that they
should be handled “through dip-
lomatic channels” - “Through
trained diplomats”-rather than
trying to enter into any bar-
gaining from a public forum.
While he stressed that the
United States was ready at any
time to meet with the Hanoi
leaders, he pointed out that
North Vietnam remains ada-
mant against beginning talks
- unless the United States ceases
its bombing of North Vietnam
unconditionally and forever.
Johnson said Hanoi would be
making “a serious misjudg-
mrnt" if it thought it could
wait for another U.S. president
to come to office and then make
some deal with them.
This prompted a reporter to
ask whether Johnson plans to
run next year. The President
replied: “I will cross that
bridge when I come to it,” the
answer he has given to the

He predicted that those in

—It is "encouraging” that the
South Vietnamese people have
held five elections in about 14
months while “grenades were
popping like firecrackers all

improvements in its army by
South Vietnam were a source of

My sisters gave this girl a beautiful bridal shower, and my

expensive wedding presents
After living together for 20 days, this "bridd*

refused lo use a deodorant’
She didn't send one thank you note for her showed _
her wedding gifts, and she won't give me the list of gifts so I
can thank them II doubt if she even made one.)
But the biggest problem is getting the gifts back from our
side of the family. Neither she nor her mother will answer my
letters or telephone calls So what do we do’ INCENSED
DEAR INCENSED: Talk to your lawyer. Too bad your
son didn’t work up more of a sweat over this girl before he
married her.
DEAR ABBY I have been going steady with a girl 1 11 call

I don't want to hurt Dotty's feelings, but I would like to get out
of going steady with her so I can openly date this other

Dotty is a very nervous girl and every time I have even
hinted at breaking up. she gets sick. I would appreciate any
help you t an give me. I am 22 and Dotty is 19. STUMPED
DEAR STUMPED: I feel sorry for Dotty, but I feel sorrier
for you if vou continue to go with her because you haven't the
courage to break it up.
Level with her! And the sooner the better. Dotty may get
sick, hut she'll get over it. 'lake my advice before you find
yourself married to a woman who "gets sick” every lime she
doesn't get her own way.
DEAR ABBY This is for "BAFFLED” who quit having
birthday parties for her children because the mothers would
bring their children, and instead of going home, they would
stay for the party, too. which meant having more uninvited
guests than inv ited ones Here is how I solved that problem:
On the day of my child's birthday I would take ice cream
and cupcakes to school and treat the whole class. The teacher
was very cooperative; that way, no one I but the teacher] knew
of the party in advance, so there was no need to bring a
birthday gift | which many could not have afforded, anyway].
No cleaning up afterwards, and no frayed nerves. Good

DEAR ABBY: Our problem is company who don’t know

say, "Well. I think we’d better be going now," just to be polite
we say something like, “O, you don't have to go yet,” or, "Stay
a little while longer ” So they stay. And it s another hour
before they make a move to go home.
Abby, I wish you would tell people that when a host and

polite words and shouldn’t be taken seriously. Why are some
