ACTOR JOHN WAYNE is the subject of this rock sculpture
by Brett Livingstone Strong. The sculpture originated as a
116-ton boulder that Stong bought for $100 after it rolled
onto the Pacific Coast Highway last year. Now the sculptor
has priced the work at $1 million. -
At Wit s End
By Erma Bombeck
hospitals J
’s hard to remember when my husband and I
became “hard to buy for.”
One day we were getting underwear and books and
the next we were getting cats in tennis shoes, little
monkeys that danced themselves off the table, and a
kangaroo with string coming out of his navel*
There doesn’t seem to be an end to all the clever-
ness. We have fought through tissue only to find a
best-selling book printed on toilet paper, an Elvis
statue that revolves and plays “Love Me Tender,”
and a swizzle stick of a girl who, when submerged in a
drink, loses her outer layer of clothes.
The first time one of my children bought me a whale
pillow with varying sizes of fish down his throat that
you could pull out until you got to Jonah, he said,
“You don’t have one do you?”
I assured him I didn’t.
Then he said, “I wanted to get you something you
wouldn’t buy for yourself.”
I assured him I wouldn’t.
He took that as a sign of enthusiasm and ever since
then I have received nothing from him that has not
lived in the sea.
There are octopus finger puppets, ashtrays made of
shells Cwe don’t smoke), coral toothbrush holders,-
and a shark’s mouth with a hook in it that holds your
car keys.
A walk through our house is like a trip to the zoo.
Animals tend to drift in and out of public favor. We’ve
gone from adorable alligators (who crack nuts) to
cute bears, to performing monkeys, to winsome
unicorns, to regal reindeer, to lovable mice, to
grinning cats. This year it was pigs.
We have wooden pig cutting boards, ceramic pigs
that hold salt and pepper, pigs in groups that play
instruments, glass pigs shaped like pitchers, pigs
shaped like pencils, pigs that hold cookies and grow
plants, and com husk pigs that have a Christmas
wreath around their necks — not to mention painted
pigs that hold hands around the shower curtain.
My husband and I have discussed this. We don’t
know when we appeared to our children to have
everything in this world — except something to dust.
One theory is they figured we’re too old to be anything
but spectators. Another is in the few precious years
left, we should lose our practicality and play it for
laughs.
My birthday is in two weeks. I NEED a black
evening handbag.
It’ll be shaped like a pig.

By ROBERT WALLACE, PJi.D.
Copley News Service
Tim, 19, from'Chehalis, Wash., is fighting mad and needs
a little advice. Tom Sullivan, 18, from Nashua, N.H., and
Dee Dee White, 19, who lives in Gadsden, Ala., will join me
in trying to cool Tim down. .
Dr. Wallace: 1 never dreamed that I would be writing to
someone for help but the time has come. I’m 19 and so is my
girl. We have been going together for over 16 months and I
love her very much and I’m pretty sure that she loves me.
Lately, she met a guy where she works. At first, they
went out occasionally for lunch and now she sees him after
work. The thought of her with another guy "blows my
mind.”
I think I might meet this guy and mess up his pretty face.
If you and your guest writers agree (please include them).
I’ll do it. - Ttm, Chehalis, Wash.
Tim: Don’t do it. It’s not the guy’s fault. If your girlfriend
didn't want to see him, then she wouldn't have.
If your “girlfriend” truly loves you, things will work out if
you keep a cool head. Continue to see her but don’t mention
the other guy. If the time come that you can’t see her
because she is seeing the other guy, start looking around for
another girl to date. — Dr. Wallace
Hi Tim: To be honest, I think you have lost your
girlfriend, at least for the moment, but fighting with the b'ov
would only make things worse. The worst thing you can do
is to sit at home and feel sorry for yourself.
If I were you, I’d start taking a young lady to lunch and
would see her after work. It just might make your girlfriend
'"“blow her mind. ’ If it doesn’t, you really never had her
anyway. — Dee, Dee, Gadsden, Ala.
Hello Tim: You said that you really love your girlfriend
but you are only pretty sure she loves you. It appears that
she doesn’t love you the way you love her. I know you would
feel better if you punched this guy in the nose but he is not to
blame. He is not forcing your girl to see him. Your girl is
doing it of her own free will. I’d advise you to break up with
her for the time being and see how things go.
After a few weeks, you.will know if she really loves you or
if she just thinks she found someone better. — Tom, Nashua,
N.H.
If you would like to be a teen guest writer, please write to

preliminary research work on
the new derivative of vitamin
A is promising’ The results
noted in individuals with
^severe acne that hasn't
responded well to other treat-
ment is reallv quite remat-
kale.
This new treatment is not
available for doctors to pro
scribe to-patients at this time.
It's still undergoing testing
While the results •■are good, it
needs to be tested long enough
to be sure .that there are no
important side effects or com-
plications of the medicine
itself.
I'd like to point out that this
is not the same thing as stand-
ard vitamin A that people can
buy in stores. Often young
people will try to take large
amounts of vitamin A’ to con-
trol acne. It doesn't and,
worse than that, too much
vitamin A can cause a vita-
min A toxicity,

DEAR DR LAMB I have
a friend who broke Ins neck in
a diving accident six years
ago and is now paralyzed
from the waist down. Recent-
ly I’ve heard of experimental
operation^ being performed
on dogs that have Been suc-
cessful in reconstructing the
break Has this type of opera-
tion ever been performed suc-
cessfully on human' beings’’ If
so, 1 would appreciate any
information you might have
concerning this
!- •

other readers might not know !
that the spinal cord and the }
brain will not regenerate if ;
they've been injured. That's j
why if you damage (he spinal •
cord in the right place, you 1
may be paralyzed. ^ J
For years doctors have f
sought some means of induc-
, ing regeneration in injuries of ,4;
the Cord and brain- without ‘ ' “
a lot of success.
You probably read about
some recent research in which
the spinal cord in dogs was
crushed and then the segment
that was crushed was cut out
and replaced with a special
nerve tissue grafting which
did result in regrowth of the
damaged area. That’s very
promising .research but it’s
still at the animal stage. It
will be quite a while yet
before we know whether or
nof it will be successful in
humans. And even then it may ,
be useful only in those whd*:
have recent injuries. • ■■ . ''.>}>
