Not all hearts and flowers
DEAR DR. BLAKER -
Valentine’s Day was terrible
at my school So many kids
had hurt feelings when it was
all over.
One girl didn’t get any
cards except the one she sent
to herself. She had given cards
to everyone in the class and
her mother even brought in a
Valentine’s Day cake.
A boy was crying in the
cloakroom because one of his
valentines had been returned
by a friend who hadn’t liked it.
I was upset, too, because I
got a card from a boy who I
only like as a friend. It was
clear from the card that he
likes me a lot more. Now I
don’t know what to do about
him.
Next year I hope the teach-
ers will tell everyone to forget
Valentine’s Day.
P S. I am 11 years old and
in the fifth grade.
DEAR READER - This
holiday causes more broken
hearts than any other in
schools that do not have a
good policy about how it
should be celebrated.
Why not ask your teacher if
your class can talk now about
different ways of celebrating
Valentine's Day next year?
Vote to determine the best
ideas and then include them in
a letter to the student council
and principal.
One idea is to have a Valen-
tine’s Day party. Either forget
t cards or have teachers
y be exchanged
with nothing to give in return.
He became embarrassed and
she became worried that he
didn’t care about her.
DEAR DR. BLAKER - 1
like to be surprised on Valen-
tine’s Day. But every year,
my husband forgets the holi-
day and I end up reminding
choices
Karen Blaker Ph.D.
outside of the classroom, per-
haps by mail.
Another suggestion is to
have students make cards for
all other members of the class
as an art project.
It may help to know that
Valentine’s Day causes prob-
lems for adults, too.
One friend of mine cooked
her boyfriend a special
dinner. She even bought him a
present wrapped in heart-dec-
orated paper.
He appeared at her door
Scanning strategy games
By the Editors
of Consumer Reports
If you like pencil-and-paper
parlor challenges like Jotto,
hand-held electronic strategy
games may be for you.
Many of the parlor games
require one player to think of
a word or a multi-digit
number, and the other to try
guessing it by using test num-
bers or words. After each try,
the player in the know tells
the other player how many
letters or numbers have been
guessed correctly and how
many correct positions are in
the guess.
For example, if you’re the
guesser and the secret word is
"electronic," say you’ve so far
guessed e-l-e-t-c. You’ll be
told you have five correct let-
ters and three correct posi-
tions
Electronic strategy games
work with one modern-day
twist: the game’s circuits
choose the number or word,
and one or two players do the
guessing. The seven strategy
games tested by Consumer
Reports also included a pair
of models that serve both as
electronic “blackjack tables”
and hand-held calculators,
For whom are these games
designed0
In its evaluations, Consum-
er Reports had both adults
and children play with 43
electronic games - including
strategic, educational, sports,
target and other models.
Although many games carried
suggested playing ages, some
labels couldn’t be taken seri-
ously.
Games with an advertised
upper age-limit of “adult”
often were much too simple to
hold a grown-up’s attention.
And some games labeled
appropriate for children were
a bit over the head of some
youngsters.
That’s one major reason
why Consumer Reports sug-
gests you try a game before
buying — to find out if it’s
suited to the needs of the peo-
ple who will be playing it
In the strategy games eval-
uations, children found Scrab-
ble Sensor, a spelling game,
more captivating than the
models that used numbers
Perhaps it was because the
secret words are ordered,
while the secret numbers are
totally random.
When one person plays
Scrabble Sensor, the comput-
er picks a four-letter word
from its limited vocabulary
and the player must guess it.
When two players compete,
one enters an up-to-seven-let-
ter word into the computer
and the other does the guess-
ing.
With most of the tested
games, if you give up trying to
guess the word or number —
too bad. Only the Coleco
Digits 2050 and the Invicta
Electronic Master Mind 5000
have a key that reveals the
real solution.
For brand-and-model eval-
uations of all 43 electronic
games, see the November
1979 issue of Consumer
Reports. It also contains
brand-name ratings of men’s
electric shavers and gives
details on how to use a small-
claims court. (To order send
$1.25 to: From Consumer
Reports, F9114, Box 9000,
Orangeburg, N.Y. 10962.)
In addton to finding out if
an electronic game is for you,
there’s another reason to try
one before buying: some
games advertised as electron-
ic aren’t sophisticated devic-
es, but are mere battery-oper-
ated gizmos that have been
around in one form or another
for many years.

him to buy me a present.
That ruins the day for both
of us because I am never very
enthusiastic about the gift.
What should we do?
DEAR READER — Give up
on being surprised on this par-
ticular holiday.
Expect that you will either
have to give your husband a
reminder — maybe an early
card sent to his office — or
not receive anything at all.
Continuing to hope for
something year in and year
out is wearing on the nerves.
If you can’t give up the
expectation, ask yourself
what you might be getting out
of this situation. It may pro-
vide you with some “proof”
that he is not a good husband
— if you are looking for that
kind of evidence.
You don’t have to remain
shy for life. Get help from Dr.
Blaker’s “Shyness’ hotline.
Send 50 cents plus a stamped,
self-addressed envelope to Dr.
Blaker in care of this newspa-
per, P.O Box 475, Radio City
Station, New York, NY 10019.

mail prohibits personal
replies, but questions of gen-
eral interest will be discussed

Are dads more
difficult to please?
By ROBERT WALLACE, Ed.D.
Copley News Service
Dr. Wallace: Keeping my room clean and helping with the
rest of the house are my chores. My mom will tell me how
nice things look but my dad will always say, “Connie, did
you do your chores today?”
If you ask me, dads are much harder to please than
moms. Do you agree? — Connie. Florence, Ala.
Connie: As a Charter member of the dads club,'I can’t
agree so I took a poll of my family. My son thought that I
was harder to please but my daughter thought her mother
was harder
My wife feels that dads are harder to please and I think
mothers are harder.
After this scientific survey was completed it can safely be
said that about half the dads are harder to please than
moms and about half the moms are harder t^lease than
dads. Connie, I hope you can get the message, because I’m
confused.
Dr. Wallace: I’m 15 and my boyfriend is really good-
looking and very smart.
My problem is that in the daytime he doesn’t seem 'o care
about me, but after the sun goes down, he is “all over me” If
you know what I mean. Help. — Lana, Goshen. Ind.
Lana: This guy might think he is smart, but I know you
are smarter because you are going to tell him that if he
cares for you 24 hours a day, and behaves himself during
the evening that he has a girlfriend. If not, tell him goodbye
and mean it!
Dr. Wallace: I’m a py and 1 am a senior in high school.
My problem is that I’m afraid that 1 will never get married,
but being married is my biggest dream.
I want to share my life with someone I love and who loves
me. Every time a car goes by with a "Just married” sign on
the back, I wish It was my bride and me in the back seat.
Do you think my shyness will keep me from gaining my
goal — marriage? — Donnie, La Habra, Calif.
Donnie: There are numerous “shy” guys who are happily
married and children call them Daddy. But, first things
first. Those who look for a marriage partner usually end up
disappointed. Date as many girls as is reasonable (there are
many shy girls looking for shy boys) and let cupid be your
guide.
For Dr. Wallace’s teen booklet, “Happiness or Despair,”
please send $1 and a 28-cent, stamped, large, self-addressed
envelope to Dr. Wallace, in care of this newspaper.

Severe pain in cheek

. oped a pain in my right cheek
The doctor called it an

cheek for a while. It did
relieve the pain For a long
time 1 had no pair, but then
sometime later if I d get upset
the pain started all over
again
I've never gone to a doctor
here for this problem but it's
now very painful and some-
times when I'm working. I
don't feel a thing and then
bang the pain shoots right
through the cheek, sometimes
bringing tears to my eves I
tried vitamin B-l bui that
does not seem to do anything.
Do you have any suggestions
for me" i did not go to mv
doctor here because it's nard
lo explain and he'll probably
send me from one doctor to
another Jil '
