„ DEaR GOING: See another dermatologist and get his
opinion. If he can't help you, consult a therapist who is train-
ed to treat emotional disorders. Baldness in women (as well
as in men) is often caused by emotional stress. In the mean-
time, let me assure you that you are not alone. Get a pretty
wig and some good-looking hats, and don't despair.

DEAR POLLY — My husband was laundering his fine
cotton underwear and put it in a dryer that had been
used to dry rubber-backed rugs. The intense heat had
melted the backing so fine lumps of the backing adhered
to the clothing. I cannot get them off because they have
hardened. Please let me know if there is a way I can
correct this condition. — VERA
DEAR VERA — Yours is an unusual problem that I
have no "pat” answer for. It will require a bit of experi-
menting. I would first try soaking these spots la white
vinegar. If that does not soften them you might put the
underwear back in the hot dryer and leave it jut long
enough to hopefully soften the rubber.
When softened, use a dull table knife to scrape off u
much as possible and then use a cleaning fluid to
remove any lingering stains. Wash with detergent and
dry in a clean dryer. If any readers have had a similar
experience that was successfully solved I feel rare they
will tell us about it. — POLLY

DEAR ABBY: Please help me. I don’t know who else to
talk to about this embarrassing problem. I am a 30-year-oid
woman who is going bald! It's on my mind (no pun intended)
constantly, and I'm really depressed about it. u
Two years ago, when 1 first started to notice that my hair
was getting very thin, I went to a dermatologist. He said it
must be a hereditary thing and there was nothing he could
dp about it. My father was bald at an early age, but my
mother is 65 and has a full head of hair. As far as I know,
there have been no bald women in my family.
Please tell me what to do before I lose my mind. I hate to
go out of the house looking like this.

DEAR ABBY: Our son is a 16-year-old high school
sophomore who is very mature for his age. He's' been steadi-
ly dating a 17-year-old senior for about a year. We’ve always
had an excellent rapport with our son and have openly
discussed sex, reproduction and contraception. vw-
Last week his girlfriend happily informed him that, she is ' tains 26 rooms, each full of his-
six months pregnant, and she’s delighted! She had already
told her family, who she says are excited and happy and
have given her baby gifts and almost completely furnished
her nursery! She and her parents have talked with a school
counselor and today she. starts classes at an alternative
school for school-aged mothers knd mothers-to-be. She told
all her friends at school before telling our son and he is now
being approached with all sorts of questions and comments
from his teachers and classmates.
The girl states she is happy about it and just hopes our
son will be a good "Daddy.” She’s even asked him to par-
, ticipate in natural childbirth classes with her. ______
Our son is bewildered and dumbfounded about all this. He webs of disuse,
says he feels an obligation to her, but at his age marriage is
out of the question. We agree, but how can we help him
through this? All articles and programs are geared to help
unwpd mothers, but what about anunwed father? We want
him to get pn with a normal life without, suffering any
psychological scars. Are there groups on agencies to help
boys in this predicament? Where can we turn?

DEAR POLLY — Do tell your readers, especially Ada who
has the problem, that mailing address labels on magazines
can be safely removed without defacing the picture on the
cover by saturating the label thoroughly with a commercial
spot remover. Apply generously with the applicator top until
label is well soaked. It will then lift off easily and won’t harm
that section of the cover. — P.L.N.
DEAR POLLY — My father was a baker during the Depres-
sion and after he passed away I found a book (65 years old)
that he had used. From it I learned a hint that is as good today
as it was then. It concerned making pancakes without smoke
or odor. Make a little salt bag and rub it on the griddle instead
of grease. The pancakes will not itick and there will be no
unpleasant smoke or odor. This has been a great help for me
as my family loves pancakes and now my house does not
smell like it. - BONITA > -
