Girth control trouble
DEAR DR. LAMB - I’ve
been doing exercises for a pot
belly — sit ups and leg lifts —
and instead of getting
smaller, it seems to be getting
bigger. It seems to be firming
up but not getting flatter. Is
this normal9 I thought it
would get smaller and flatter.
DEAR READER - It-
depends on what’s inside the
abdomen. Being of.a suspi-
cious nature, my first question
would be, are you having reg-
ular periods and are you sure
yqu’re not pregnant 2, In Case
you can rule out the pregnan-
cy bit, then we can move on to
what else might be in the
abdomen, and that something
else is ustfally fat. Exercises
do exactly what you say. They
<firm up the .abdominal mus-
cles but they can't shrink your
abdomen if there is a lot of fat
inside the abdominal cavity.
Many people just don’t
seem to realize that it’s not
just the fat that’s under the
skin that causes the abdomen
to be large. It’s the accumula-
tion of fat inside the abdomi-
nal cavity. It collects in great
rolls on an apron of tissue that
hangs down from the outer
border of the stomach and
covers all of the abdominal
organs
people who need to do a little
work to gliminate a pot belly
that they’ll usually have to
diet as well as exercise Lin

Lawrence E. Lamb. M.D.
If a person with a lot of fat
in the abdomen happens to
require abdominal surgery,
the surgeon will have to move
away a great layer of fat Fat
also accumulates in the mem-
branes around the intestines.
This accumulation of fat can-
not very well be squeezed
down to nothing regardless of
how conscientious you are
about your exercise program.

Stubborn floor tiles
By Polly Cramer
POLLY’S PROBLEM
DEAR POLLY — Do you have any suggestions for
loosening stick-on floor tiles? I have raised some with a
putty knife but find it is a very hard job. — ALICE
DEAR ALICE — I presume these come off just as
any other resilient floor tiles. Put a piece of an old sheet
or other such cloth over two or three tiles and Jthen iron
over them until they become warm. Thts’will soften the
glue enough so your putty knife will work much faster.
Only iron two or three at a time becasue they will res-
tick if they have time to cool. — POLLY
DEAR POLLY I have a safe and easy way to keep the
children’s mittens from being lost. Sew that sticky type fabric
fastener on the inside sleeves of the child’s coat and the mit-
tens will stick to it. No more lost mittens. — HELEN
DEAR POLLY — When painting with messy oil base paint
most of us get it on .our hands^arms, faces, .etc. Instead of
using a harsh remover like turpentine I sifhply rub in a tea-
spoon of shortening and then wash with warm water and soap.
- MRS A.J.V.
DEAR POLLY — My bathroom mirror used to fog up after
each shower and then when it was dried off with a towel the
mirror would streak. Now I set my electric blow dryer on hot
and blow it into the mirror. It is unfogged in less than half a
minute and with rto streaks. — DENISE
DEAR POLLY — 1 have been clipping and saving “cents
off" coupons for years but too often the time limit expired
before ! remembered to use them. My two teenagers came up

cuss the types of exercises
that you should be doing
which, in general, are sit ups
and leg lifts. Don’t neglect to
get yourself on a sensible diet
to help you eliminate the
ej^ess fat’ that’you probably
havK^inside the abdominal
cavity. Then not only will you
be firm but you’ll be flat.
DEAR DR. LAMB - I’d
like to comment on the unso-
phisticated way that many
physicians, psychiatrists and
others talk about loss of sex
drive. I think at the very mini-
mum, to establish loss of sex
drive the patient should be
tested with a normally sexy
subject of the appropriate sex.
Absence of sex between two
persons out of communication
says nothing about sex drive.
Do you agree with this?
DEAR READER - I
couldn’t agree more. Some-
times a person gets tired of
his or her mate as far as sex is
concerned. In other instances,,
a couple’s life takes on a new
meaning which may replace
seXual interest. That’s just the
way life is.
If people argue and don't
get along very well to begin
with and don’t have any
respect for each other, it’s
increasingly more difficult for
them to have a meaningful,
fulfilling sex life or to be sexj
ually attracted to each other.
All of which goes badk to a
basic-point, one of the most
important sex organs is the
brain.

Every day I fight the battle of Rombeck vs. Trash.
As soon as 1 hit the bathroom in the morning, my
arms make a wide sweep over the sink,, taking with
them used nose tissue, clumps of hair, empty boxes
and toothpaste caps. .
, On the way to the kitchen, 1 walk like an orangutan
through a field of bananas, swooping up yesterday’s
newspapers and stuffing them under my arms with
crumpled notebook paper, empty cracker boxes and
soft drink cans.
In the kitchen, I dispose of opened mail that is never
put away, gum shoes held together bv knots,
yesterday’s lunch bags, empty cereal boxes, assorted
paper bags, bottle caps, crumpled telephone
messages ancLpens-that don’t write anymore.
.« It's that way in every room of the house. Either no
one has the strength to walk the litter to the waste can
or there is an unwillingness to let anything go to that
big Hefty bag in the sky. Whatever it-is, I’m stuck
with it.^s-
Now/you are probalby asking, “Okay, that shoots
the morning, so what do you do with your afternoons
and evenings?”
Simple. I spend the rest of the day sitting through
the trash and garbage cans looking for what I threw
away in the mornings.
I am possibly the only woman in the country who
can not only tell you what we had for dinner every
night of the week, I can tell you what it looked like
three days later.
Women don’t know what guilt is until they pick up a
house in the morning. My son failed biology because I
threw away a magazine catching a leak under the
bathroom sink with Euell Gibbons’ picture on the
cover.
My daughter will never marry because I threw
away a phone number written on a piece of register
tape belonging to the last tall boy in North America.
1 am personally responsible for all of us freezing"
This winter because I pitched out the paper containing
an ad for firewood at a bargain $65 a cord.
Let it be on my conscience that my husband will be
on his way to a penal" institution and never see his
children grow up because I tossed out a SECOND
NOTICE traffic ticket that he stuck in a beer can for
safekeeping.

Symphony Team
Fiddles Away
Free Throws
SALT I,AKiv CITY (AP) —
The playing wasn’t exactly
classical, but the winners'
first string was from the
string section and the losers’
cheerleaders sure could
dance. ■
The Utah Symphony
"Classics” fiddled away a'
number of free throws, but
the Symphony team kept the
Ballet West “Nutcrackers”
on their toes as they downed
the dancers 33-31 in a charity
basketball game.
The game, which netted
$409 in contributions to
Shriners' Hospital" for
Crippled Children, resulted
from a challenge issued by
cellist Steve Emerson.
Ballet West members ac-
cepted, and showed up at the
East High Gymnasium with
their team, 14 leotard-clad
cheerleaders, costumed
characters from the Nut-
cracker ballet and a tank of
oxygen to help power the
leaping players.
The musicians had their
own cheering section, whose
repertoire included such
cheers as: "Eenie, meenie,
mienie, moe, Catch the
dancers by the toe, When
they holler, hang on tight,
Utah Symphony, fight, fight,
fight!"

her to have another chance.
Dr. Wallace: I’m a 17-v
year-old guy who is trying to
get a date with a certain
young lady. I got the word
that she is a good girl who is
down on alcohol and pot and
only dates “straight" ggys.
So — I quit drinking And
unloaded my “burnout"
friends. '
After I felt my reputation
was clean, I asked her for a
date twice and she gave a
logical excuse both times.
My question is, should I ask
her out again and If so, what
should I say? I know she
Isn't dating anyone steadily.
— Bob, Pueblo, Colo.
Bob: Congratulations on
unloading your "burnout"
friends and stopping drink-
ing. But just because you
are "straight” doesn’t mean
that this certain young lady
will be thrilled by your pres-
ence.
Find out what she realy
enjoys (roller skating, danc-
ing, seeing plays, etc.) and
invite her to do that particu-
lar thing with you. If she
refuses, again, look else-
where for another girl who
is down on alcohol and jfwt
and only dates "straigHt"
guys.
Dr. Wallace: I'm 19. hap-
pily married and expecting
a baby. I credit my happi-
ness io my parents’ whole-
some upbringing and my Re-
ligious faith. In the three
years my husband and I
were dating before we mar-
ried, we never committed
one impure act because *we
both shared the same strong
faith.
Now that we are married,
God has rewarded us (or our
self-control. What was sinful
Is now holy.
Being young and In fove
Isn’t easy, but if God is
Included, everything turns
out beautifully. — Ann, Buf-

Did our little E.Q. quiz
stump you? Your kids probably
would have breezed through it.
But don’t feel too bad. Most
people don’t know even basic
facts and figures about our
American Economic System. In
short, a lot of Economics Quotients,
E.Qs., could stand improvement.
It’s important. Not just
because we all face some impor-
tant decisions about our economic
system. But because the more
you know about our system, the
more you’ll be able to make it
work for you. 1
A special booklet has be$n
prepared to help you learn moie
about what makes ouf American
Economic System tick. It’s fact-
filled, easy reading and free. It’s
also an easy way to raise your E.Q..
