Nothing is less appetizing
than witnessing g fork-stabbing

to get at someone's leavings.
Another stomach-churning
sight: parents scraping the
children’s leftovers onto their
own plates and consuming the
mess.
I was raised in a family
where this sort of thing went on
and always considered the
practice gross. In polite
society, one eats only from his
own plate — at home or out.
What's left is for the dog. —

Dear Ann Landers: I’m a bit
late with this, but it has taken
me until now to calm down. I
was so infuriated by that
university student who com-
plained about the dull letters
eager to get off. Either they
were getting ready to go
somewhere, or they had
company. It seems I always
picked the wrong time.
All I wanted was an answer-te

DEAR POLLY I disagree with Mrs G,H who hangs a
bug or pest strip in her cabinet. I do not think they should be
hung around food She should check the package her strip
comes in Somewhere on the package it should say if it would
be harmful. 1 know they have a strong odor and it could be
absorbed by even packaged food. — MRS.J.V.
DEAR POLLY — I learned it pays to read directions — the
hard way I spfayed my oven with oven cleaner and did not
cover the floor with paper as I should have done. The excess
cleaner ran down on my fairly new tile floor
After a lot of work and tears I gave up and put a throw rug
over the large ugly stains. After each mopping of the floor

they have to have a new floor when such a situation arises.
Mine looks almost like new — JEANNIE
DEAR POLLY - I am sure my Pointer will calm many
irate husbands who do not like it when you hammer nails in
the wall for hanging pictures. A needle tempered by putting it
in the freezing compartment overnight and for several more

Dear O.C.: The mail ran 20 to

know if it will make you feel
better or worse, but the shoe
that pinched you so painfuly is
usually on the other foot.
I hope your parents' problem
was an inability to com-
municate at a distance and that
they do a better job in person. If
not, honey, you’d better look
elsewhere for emotional sup-
port.
Dear Ann Landers: I am a
person who has always been
nighly susceptible to hiccups. It
is a condition I have grown to
fear and despise. My blood
pressure goes up with the first
hie.
Through the years I have
tried every “remedy” I heard
or "’read about, from eating
sugar in a teaspoon to drinking
hot salt water while standing on
my head.
After suffering all my life
from miserable bouts of hic-
cups, I have finally discovered
a sure cure and would like to
share it with others who suffer
from this gastric horror.
I asked my recently wedded
wife to give me a big, long,
romantic kiss. It works. — New

CHICAGO (AP) — Estrogen,
a hormone often prescribed as
part of post-menopausal
therapy, significantly in-
creases a woman's chance of
contracting breast cancer if she
takes heavy doses and has
intact ovaries, says a report in
the upcoming issue of Journal
of the American Medical
Association.
The article says a study of
two Los Angeles-area
retirement communities
showed women who took heavy
estrogen doses over long
periods of time and who had
intact ovaries were 2W times as
likely to get breast cancer as
women who did not take the
drug.
The risk appeared in-
consistent at low estrogen
dosages and was undetectable
in women who had had their
ovaries removed, according to
the article in Friday's issue of
the Journal.
Menopause is the cessation of
menstruation.
The study found that a
woman undergoing natural
menopause at age 50 who
received 1.25 milligrams of
estrogen daily for about three
years would increase her
lifetime probability of getting
breast cancer by age 75 from 6
percent to 12 percent, if no
latency period for the disease is
allowed.
Oswald: “West wins the
first trick with the ace of
hearts and the second with the
king of diamonds. He contin-
ues with the queen and South
takes his ace.”
Alan: "South has to get
away with the loss of just one
black suit trick. In such a situ-
ation the best play is to find a
combintion play in both
suits.” *
"“"Oswald: "Therefore, South
should start with clubs. He
leads his jack of clubs and
West’makes the correct play
of ducking. South holds the
trick.”
Alan: “If that club had lost
to East, South would have to
take his best play which is the
straight spade finesse which
has a 50 percent chance of
success. The success of the
club finesse means South
should play the ace of spades
and try to drop the king. This
has only a 26 percent chance
of success, but it is correct.”
Oswald: “The reason is that
as long as spades break 2-1
the odds are now enormously
in favor of there being no club
loser, due to an end play.”
Alan: “South cashes his king
of hearts, ruffs his last dia-
mond and plays a second
spade West wins and South
can elgim the rest of the
tricks. The’ end play has
developed."

TV review: the LOP theory
Sitcom like wallpaper
By PETER J. BOYER
AP Television Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) -
While watching the new
"Stockard Channing Show” for
the third consecutive week, it
occurred to me that the show
was a lot like my bedroom
wallpaper. I didn't particularly
like it, but I didn’t dislike it
enough to change it.
Much of prime time television
is that way, and for reason:
ABC, NBC and CBS don’t want
dustry turns, don’t measure
viewers in a literal sense, but
numbers of sets that happen to
be tuned to various stations.
Which leads to a sort of
programming double-negative.
It’s not what is watched so
much as what is not NOT
watched that matters.
If people aren’t watching
your flocked pink paisley of a
sitcom, you repaper that part of
your schedule with a nice,
unobstrusive floral pattern of a
you to like their programs as sitcom, like the one people
much as they want you to en- aren’t not watching on the other
dure them, to allow a program
to just be there in the room with
you, like relatively inoffensive
wallpaper.
The LOP (Least Ob-
jectionable Program) theory,
former NBC programming
executive Paul Klein called it.
Television has become part of
the passive environment in
most American homes, so the
aim is to come up with the least
objectionable television,
programs people won’t be
moved to, change.
Program ratings, upon which
the entire commercial TV in-
network. The result is a great
drive to the middle.
Thus, for every “M-A-S-H” or
“All in the Family” or “Barney
Miller,” shows with genuine wit
and punch and occasional
daring, there are a dozen
“Bensons” or “Angies” or
“Stockard Channing Shows,”
programs whose chief asset is
that they won’t drive you away
“The Stockard Channing
Show” has going for it its star,
an accomplished actress whose
face delivers more comedy than
the script. There is also an
inoffensive co-star, Eon Silver,
who makes the best of what he
is given.
Going against it is a style that
is not really a style at aU, but a
formula. Stockard plays a
single lady; Silver is a single
man. He is a TV consumer rip-
off reporter. She is his
assistant, Susan. H< puts her
down a lot. She rebounds a lot.
They have a dumb secretary
and a boss who is a loud-
mouthed simp. The stories
dome off the conveyer belt like
so many fenders and
headlamps.
What CBS has here is yet
another show that’s not
outrageous or particularly
clever or in any substantive
way individual. On the other
hand, watching it won’t give
you a headache.
