DEAR ABBY: What do you do with a mother-in-law
[Hubby's Mom I who is generous to a fault? We have been
married 2 years now and all this time we have been trying
unsuccessfully to fight off lavish gifts, free trips, etc
We want to be independent and would rather have less than
always be saying thank you" for this and that My
Jr- •'ther-in-law is a very extravagant person, and when she buys
J i in the same grand manner that she buys for herself, it’s
i jor father-in-law who has to pay the bills, and Abby he is
■M that rich.
We have told her over and over again that we don't want
anything, but she won't take no for an answer Please tell us
what else we can do. LOSING PATIENCE
DEAR LOSING: The "no" that seems to be posing a
problem is not the one your mother-in-law won’t take for an
answer. It’s the one you and your husband seem unable to
make stick when you try to refuse her gifts. No one need be the
recipient of a gift he really does not want. Put a little more
conviction into your "no"—and if she gives you the gift
anyway, give it back.
DEAR ABBY: They say that worry kills more people than
work. Is this true? WORRIER
DEAR WORRIER:

Undoubtedly. Because more people

DEAR ABBY: I am a 47-year-old bachelor with a problem
like I’m sure you’ve never been asked to solve before I can’t
make my mind up between Hazel, a 30-year-old divorcee, and
her mother.
I started going with Hazel and thought I was in Love with
her until I met “mamma." It was love at first sight with
mamma. She is 48, but you would never know it Abby. 1 am
going nuts between these two. Mamma and I started seeing
each other on the Q. T. because we didn’t want to hurt Ha~el,
but Hazel found out about it and she threatened to kill me.
Now they are both on my neck to make up my mind I feel
like a rat, but I can’t help it. Is Hazel too young for me?
Is mamma too old for me? They both have their good points,
but I really prefer mamma. Can you tell me what to do?
DOUBLE TROUBLE
DEAR DOUBLE: If yon prefer mamma, go ahead and
marry her. But don’t accept any dinner invitations at Hazel’s
unless you lake along a food taster.
CONFIDENTIAL TO Fort Worth Reader: If you don’t
waut him the way he is, leave him alone. You can’t teach an
old dog new tricks. The "old dog” you have in mind may not
want to learn any now tricks. Especially from an old trainer.
How ha*, the world been treating .-you? Unload your
problems on Dear Abby, Box 69700, Los Angeles, Cal., 90069.

Dear Heloise:
Here’s a holiday use for that
punch bowl;
V hen my daughter gave a
teen-age party, it called for
lots of chips and dips.
I cut cardboard the cor-
rect size and shape to make
a center divider for the bowl
Then covered the divider with
foil for an attractive appear-
ance.
On one side I heaped pota-
to chips, on the other side
corn chips. I filled several
of the matching cups with a
variety of dips.
We had a pretty chip and
dip set of such am. le propor-
tions that refills were not need-
ed.
Mrs. G.T. Kingery
Thanks for reminding us that
we should get those punch bowls
ready.
If they are not used for a
beverage, your idea toput chips
in them is terrific. In fact,
if you wanted to serve more
than two kinds to chips, you
could divide the bowl into four
sections easily.
Heloise
Dear Heloise
My 18-m:mth-old son insists
on eating "whole” apples like
his older brother. But he eats
them ceeds and all.
I’ve found that he’s satisfied
if I core his apple, as I do for
baked ones.
No seeds or stem to eat and
the “thumb-hole” makes it eas-
ier for small hands to hold the
apple.
Martha Clark
Dear Heloise;
If you have rocks or gravel
covering ths ground around
plants, you can use tho blower
end of your tank vacuum ‘om ve
leaves over to an area where it
is easier to collect them.
I also use the blowing end
before vacuuming the car in-
terior. It will blow ou’ dust
from places that the nozzle can’t
reach them used as a vacuum.
John Bogie
Dear Heloise:
I thought some readers might
be interested in my way of clean-
ing small figurines which have
become caked with dirt and
grease.
First, 1 spray them all over
with window eleaner. Then use
a -otton swab to wipe out all
the little crevices. Rinse and
dry.
1 had a pair of peasant child-
ren figurines over my stove for
several years and they became
so greasy I was ready to dis-
card them. Now after cleaning
them 'his way, they look like
new again and it’s so easy, too.
Judith
Dear Heloise:
Here is a good hint for pre-
paring vegetables since some of
our children do not like them.
Try mushroom soup and
cream of chicken over certain
vegetables. Mushroom soup is
very good over green string
beans. Cream of chicken soup
is good with peas.
I am sure that your ch'ld-
ren will clean up their plates
Dear Heloise:
At our house, we never use
paper napkins for more than
one meal, regardless how lit-
tle they were used. But there
is a use for these "still good”
napkins;
When we sweep our kitchen
floor and must use a dustpan,
we dampen one of these napkins
and pinch up the little pile of
sweepings, using several nap-
kins if needed.
This makes the task easy.

Christmas
In Africa
KITWF, Zambia (KF>—Ram-
sis Botros is from Cairo, Egy-
pt. EmmwuelNsamiisamem-
ber of the Chibemba tribe of
Zambia. But in spite of very-
different backgrounds the two
men are united in their love of
piinting and in their interest
in bringing to Christian ideas
the familiar details of their
own experience.
Ram'sis’s painting of the flight
into Egypt is flooded with the
brilliant light of the Egyptian
sun. Joseph and Mary are pass-
ing through a pylon into anFgy-
ptian temple.
Nsama’s nativity scene was
painted with his wife and his
first bom son as models. It
shows them in a typical Chi-
bemba house. The onlookers
have the faces of the Chibem-
ba. The poles resting on the
house are also a comm in
sight in Africa. A*, night they
are' driven into the ground at
the entrance to the house to
serve as a door.
Ramsis and Nsama attend
the unique Art Studio, which is
part of the Africa I iterature
Center at Kitwe. The Art Stu-
dio was started seven years ago
in a one-room thatched hut by
Miss Marjorie Murray, whore-
mains as director of the studio
in its present concrete building.
Thirty students now attend the
Art Studio. Ramsis and Nsa-
ma are the two whose work was
selected this year for showing
at the World Christmas Art
Exhibit in New York.
HOUSTON (UPI) — Although
the city police force is oily
half the size it should be, you
are less likely to lose ycjr life
in a traffic accident in fits city
than In any other wit 1 more
than 1 million people, accord-
ing to the National Safety Coun-
cil.
Through October, Houston was
ranked first in traffic safety in
that category with 2.3 deaths per
10,000 vehicles, a 22 per cent
decrease from the same time
last year.
So far in 1967 Houston has
recorded 126 -.raffle deaths,
compared to 160 at this time
last year.
Inspector Leroy Mouser of
the police department’s traffic
bureau says the city’s safety
record is’ the result of a co-
operative effort from many
agencies, help from the weath-
er, which has been drier, and
the fact that speeding vio-
lations and accidents cause in-
creases in the premiums motor-
ists pay for automobile insur-
ance.
And although the police de-
partment is short staffed, its
manpower is used to the ulti-
mate effect to make Houston a
safe place to drive, Mouser
said.
"We try todistribute our peo-
ple especially in traffic at the
times and to the places accord-
ing to the severity of condi-
tions,” Mouser said.
There are other factors,
though, Mouser said.
"1 think we’re blessed with a
little wider thoroughfares and
better light systems and we’ve
gat a good one-way street sys-
tem,’* Mouser said, comparing
Houston to other cities in its
category.
The city has an excellent free-
way system and the express-
ways are the safest places to
drive even though they do car-
ry huge loads of traffic each
day, Mouser said. He said there
are almost 900,000 registered
motor vehicles in the city, or
nearly one for every two resi-
dents.
Declarer can often take a
deep finesse as a safety play.
When the finesse works he over-
comes a bad break in the suit.
In some of these situations,
however, the defender should
not allow declarer to get away
with the deep finesse.

The average American fam-
ily consumes about four pack-
ages of aluminum foil for
cooking, food wrapping and
other household uses. This
amounted to more than 110
million pounds of foil in 1966,
reports The Aluminum Asso-
ciation.
Opening lead - O 4
Declarer refused the first
diamond, took the next dia-
mond with dummy’s ace, drew
a round of trumps with the ace
and led a spade to dummy’s
king. When South continued with
another low trump from dum-
my, East made the mistake of
playing low.
South was happy to take afln-
esse with the eight of trumps.
If this lost, only one trump
would be out, and South could
later draw that one trump with
the king. Actually, the deep fin-
esse worked and South had no

more trouble.
Declarer led the queen of
spades to force out the ace,
nrffed the diamond return,drew
a round of trumps and led Ms
winning black cards. East could
get one trump trick, but could
not defeat the contract.
SHOULD PLAY HIGH
East should play tta >fk of
trumps when decl«r*f leads the
second trump from dummy.
South wins with the king, and
West throws s diamond.
Declarer forces out the ace
of spades, ruffs the diamond
return, cashes two top dubs
and the jack of spades and then
ruffs a spade in dummy. East
defeats the contract hy discard-
ing a diamond instead of over-
rdfing.
If declarer leads a trump
from dummy, East takes the
queen and then the four of
trumps. If declarer leads dum-
my’s last club, East ruff* km
and then cashes the queen of
hearts. Either way, South goes
down.
DAILY QUESTION
As dealer, you hold: S-Q J 7 4,
H-A K 8 7, D-6 2, C-K 7 4.
What do you say?
ANSWER: Bid one club. The
hand is clearly worth an open-
ing bid, but an opening bid of
one spade or one heart would
land you in trouble if partner
bid two diamonds. If you Ud
one dub, and partner responds
one diamond, you can show
the hearts and await develop-
ments auite comfortably.
