DEAR STILL LAUGHING: I'm laughing, too. But I don't
recommend that method of getting the doctor’s attention.
DON’T GET CARRIED AWAY! But you can save energy
by cooking several meals at once. And by using range-top

DEAR ABBY: The letter from a patient who was Jeft un-
dressed on a hard examination table for an hour reminded
me of how I once taught a fancy ’ark Avenue gynecologist a
lesson. ' —
He left me on the examination table.in a chilly room, for
what seemed an eternity. I was naked except for a short
hospital gown slit up the back.
I finally got off the table and wandered out to his waiting
room (which was filled with patients! “looking for the
doctor."
What a picture I must have been: half naked, barefoot,
with this short gown, open in the back, flying in the breeze!
Well, a nurse grabbed me and escorted me back to the ex
amination room, and you can bet the doctor was there in less
than a minute. ~
Cut energy cost in the kitch-
en and you might even be able
to more often serve beef
instead of beans. Here are
some hints for doing s6:
— If you have a gas stove,
make sure its pilot light is
burning efficiently with a blue
flame. If the flame is yellow-
ish, an adjustment is needed
— Ask your gas company to
turn off the pilot light if you
don't mind putting a match to
the oven and burners for each
use. But do not attempt to
shut off the pilot light your-
self! When shopping for a new
gas stove, consider one with
an automatic ignition system
instead of a pilot light.
— Do not preheat your oven
except when baking pastries
and leavened products. Then
preheat for no longer than 10
minutes.
— Turn off electric ovens
or burners several minutes
before the end of the specified
cooking time. Heat will be
retained long enough to finish
the cooking job.
— Do not turn on the oven
to warm your house. But do
leave oven and dishwasher
doors open after use to warm
your home in winter; it’s that
much heat your furnace will
not have to generate.
— Plan ahead. Cook several
dishes in your oven at one
time. The extras can be refri-
gerated or frozen for later
reheating.
— Many frozen foods can
be thawed in the refrigerator
to reduce cooking time. But
check package directions for
warnings against doing so.
- Boil water more quickly
and efficiently in a kettle or a
covered pan instead of an
open pan And don’t boil five
cups of water to make one cup
of tea.
— Match the size of the pan
to the size of the burner. Plac-
ing your smallest pan on your
largest burner allows much
heat to be lost in the air.
— Bake those brownies in a
glass pan instead of a metal
one and lower your oven tem-
perature by 25 degrees.
— If yours is a self-cleaning
oven, schedule its cleanings
immediately after cooking; it
is already partway to the high
temperature required for that
process.
— Whenever possible use
small appliances - such as
electric toaster ovens and
skillets — instead of the stove
or the oven Toasting bread in
the oven, for example,
requires three times the elec-

— Vacuum the refrigera-

year. Remember to unplug
the refrigerator first. The
drains of frost-free or auto-

should be cleaned frequently.
— If shopping for a refrig-
erator, remember that manu-
al-defrost models use less
energy than self-defrost ones
Also consider a model with a
power-saver switch that turns
off the heating element when
not needed to prevent the for-

DEAR ABBY: When I was 6, my mother, a widow, died.
The state put me in an orphanage and found a family to
legally adopt my two little sisters. (They were 3 and 4 at the
time.) . • *
I want to establish contact with my sisters, but so far I've
had no success, even though I was able to contact their adop
tive mother. My sisters are 19 and 20 now, and they live
with their adoptive parents in another state.
First, I wrote to their mother, explaining who I was, and
asking her permission to write to my sisters. My letter was
never answered, so I called and asked if she ever received
. my letter. She said, “Yes, I got it, and why don't you mind
your own business and quit trying to mess up my daughters’
lives?"
I told her politely that I didn't want to mess up their lives,
I just thought that since we were blood sisters they might
want to know me because I remember them and still love
them very much.
She said, “Please leave them alone and find somebody else
to love!" Then she hung up on me.
Abby, I am a respectable married woman. My husband ad
vised me to forget about trying to see my sisters, but he
agreed to abide by your decision.

DEAR ABBY: I was particularly interested in the letter
from the man who loved his parents, but it tore him up to
visit their graves, so he never went. His sisters and brothers
went often, which made him feel guilty, so he asked you if he
should go for 'appearances' sake." Thanks for saying. "The
poorest reason to do anything is for appearances' sake.’ ” 1
agree.
My sister and I fell out over an argument we
how much to spend on our mother's casket.
When we were shown a $6,000 coffin (with an innerspring i
mattress!) I burst out laughing, even though I was sad and |
heartsick at the time.
My sister was all for putting our whole family into debt to
give Mama an expensive funeral just so people wouldn't
think we were cheap. We had some bitter words about it.
We finally settled'on a nice coffin for $1,500, which was
plenty.
I've left instructions with my family to spend the absolute
minimum on my funeral. When a poor family goes into debt
for a fancy funeral, it's usually because they feel guilty
about the way they treated their loved one while he was liv-
ing, and are trying to make it up to him after he's dead.
