She said no - he said goodbye
By ROBERT
WALLACE, Ed.D.
Copley News Service
Jennifer, 15, from Lake
Charles, La., loves her boy-
friend but lost him when she
said no. Jennifer wants to
know if our female guest
writers had similar experi-
ences. Betty Allen, 16, Santa
Barbara, Calif., and Ann
Groth, 16, Huntsville, Ala.,
will teU their stories. Wel-
come.
Dr. Wallace: I’m 15 and
love my 19-year-old boy-
friend very much but be-
cause I said no, I lost him.
He told me that I was the
only girl for him and that we
would be together forever
and two days. Well, that’s a
laugh.
About a week ago, we
went out for lunch and then
wound up in his dorm (he’s
a college student) where he
started to get sexually
frisky. When I told him no,
he asked me to give him his
fraternity pin back. I asked
him If K was because I
wouldn’t let him make love
to me and he said no, he just
discovered that he didn’t
love me anymore.
Now I wonder if I did the
right thing. I miss him very
much. I’d truly appreciate
hearing from teen-agers
who had similar experienc-
es. — Jennifer, Lake
Charles, La.
Jennifer: You made the
right decision. It’s hard for
me to believe that your
“boyfriend” loved you and I
feel you are much better
without him. Find a boy in
Lake Charles who is closer
to your age. If you would go
bought me nice presents and
we really had fun on our
dates. Then one evening, at
a drive-in movie, he fumed
into an aggressive octopus.
When he wouldn’t take no
for an answer, I got out of
the car and called my
brother to pick me up.
He called the next day
and I thought he was going
to apologize. He called to
tell me he wanted his ring
back. After I gave it back, I
never saw him again. I
moped around the house for
12 4k 30
I
back to him, he would con-
sider it an invitation to con-
tinue his friskiness. — Dr.
Wallace
Jennifer: Yes, I have been
in a similar situation, and,
yes, you did the right thing.
About a year ago I was
dating a guy and I really felt
that he cared for me. He
about a month but I got over
it. Now I’ve got a super
boyfriend who respects me
and I’m a very happy teen-
age girl.— Betty, Santa Bar-
bara, Calif.
If you would like to be a
guest teen writer, please
write to me, In care of this
newspaper, stating your sex
and age.
The problem of finding a
trained babysitter has been
alleviated by the clinic that was
coordinated by County Ex-
tension Service and the Family
Living Committee.
The newly trained sitters are
between the ages of 10 and 14.
The one and a half day clinic
was held at the Wesley
Methodist Church. The par-
ticipants learned how to diaper
a baby, heat a bottle and what
to do in case of an emergency.
They were also told to discuss
their wages before taking the
job.
The objectives of the clinic
were to provide training that
would produce qualified sit-
ters; to help young people gain
knowledge about child
development and increase the
public knowledge of available
sitters.
A list of sitters and their
phone numbers will be
available by calling the County
Extention Office, 885-3443. The
speakers stressed that the
parents of the sitters, check out
the hiring parents before
allowing their daughters to
take any job.
The role of the baby sitter
was taught by Janie Crump,
county extension agent. This
included the characteristics of
a good sitter and the role of the
sitter’s parents and the em-
ploying parents.
Child Development and Care
Language drive
MIAMI (AP) — A woman who
is fluent is six languages is
heading a petition drive to
abolish Dade County’s bilingual
programs and make Miami an
English-speaking city.
Emmy Shafer, a survivor of
the Dachau concentration camp
of Nazi Germany, says she has
collected more than 7,000
signatures toward the 26,213
needed to put the proposal on
the Nov. 4 ballot. The Dade
County Commission’s
declaration in 1973 making
Miami bilingual encourages
Latins to ignore American
ways, she says. But Eduardo
Padron, a Cuban and college
educator, said Latins will
defeat the referendum.
Anti-coagulants for blood
DEAR DR. LAMB - My
husband has to take Ascriptin
with Maalox to thin his blood
as he’s had a couple of
strokes. Everytime he even
takes one he gets sick at his
stomach. He has to take three
a day. He got so sick he
couldn’t eat and lost 30
pounds. He weighs 150 pounds
and is not fat.
Our doctor said it was the
only thing that will thin his
blood. We read or heard there
were other things you could
use.
DEAR READER - You
read or heard right. Medicines
have been used to decrease
the clotting tendency of the
blood for many decades now.
Even the argument over
vent clotting or delay clotting
do not thin the blood. The
thickness of the blood depends
upon how many solid ele-
ments it contains, mostly red
blood cells. That is entirely
different from the clotting
mechanism. Thick blood,
which contains lots of red
blood cells, may not clot read-
ily if you have taken aspirin
or anti-clotting agents. These
medicines are properly called
anti-coagulants, meaning
anti-clotting agents.
Some new studies suggest
that the amount of aspirin
that’s needed to prevent
recurrence of a stroke may be
much smaller than has origi-
nally been thought. One study
cents with a long, stamped,
self-addressed envelope for it.
Send your request to me, in
care of this newspaper, P.O.
Box 1551, Radio City Station,
New York, NY 10019.
If your husband’s current
weight is 150 pounds and he
lost 30, I’m not too unhappy
about that. Perhaps that's the
most important medical
effect he could hope to have
achieved. If he continues to
take aspirin, he might find
some other preparation more
suitable. If the aspirin is
ground into a powder and dis-
solved in a half a cup of milk,
it’s less likely to be irritating.
I’d like to add that individu-
als who have stomach disor-
ders, such as acid indigestion
or any tendency toward
ulcers, should be careful
about taking any of the medi-
cines that prevent clotting of
the blood and that includes
aspirin. All of these may
induce a serious hemorrhage
in such patients. That's one of
the reasons that we just can’t
recommend that everybody
should take plain aspirin on
their own to prevent heart
attacks and strokes.

whether they’re useful is dec-
ades old.
Perhaps the most popular
anti-clotting agent today is
Coumadin. It does require
carefully calibrating as to
how much each patient needs
to induce the degree of blood
thinning desired. Small doses
may also be about as effective
as the usual practice of using
aspirin.
I’ve
term
This tom is used regularly by
the public but it is really
wrong. Medicines that pre-
e gone along with your

shows that as little as one-half
of an ordinary aspirin tablet a
day is sufficient. In fact, large
amounts of aspirin may have
exactly the opposite effect.
Aspirin is remarkably safe
considering how frequently
it’s been used for so many dif-
ferent things. However, it's
not totally inoccuous. I’m
sending you The Health Letter
number 8-8, Aspirin and
Related Medicines. It will also
include the names of over-the-
counter medications that peo-
ple buy that actually contain
aspirin. Other readers who

Scripture Reading for Today: Colossians 3:12-17
"LET'S NOT GET HISTORICAL!"
... i< any man have a quarrel against any; even as Christ
forgave you, so also do ye. Colossians 3:13
TPHE Hebrew and Greek words for “forgiveness" mean:
I "To cover, to lift away, to send away, to loose away,
and to be gracious to.” These ideas apply to our sins
and what God does with them on the basis of Christ's
atoning work. Every born-again Christian realizes that his
iniquities justly call for his eternal condemnation in Hell.
But he also sees that every trespass was laid on Christ at
Calvary and has been completely removed by His sacri-
ficial death. Cod has acted graciously, and when the sin-
ner trusts in the Lord lesus his reconciliation is complete.
Never does he have to worry that Cod will bring up past
sins to shame him or beat him down. How we welcome
this truth1 Without it, we would have no peace, but only
fear, hostility, and unrest.
Forgiveness, though, is not limited only to our relation-
ship with Cod. He wants us to extend this same grace
to those who offend us. And it must be of that same
once-for-all quality He has shown toward us. The injury
or wrong we've felt should be put away and loosed from
our minds. It probably will always be subject to recall,
yet it must never be used to hurt the forgiven party.
Let me illustrate with this amusing story: A man was
telling a companion about an argument he'd had with his
wife. "Oh, how I hate it," he said. "Every time we fight
she gets historical." "You mean hysterical," replied the
friend. "No, I mean historical," he insisted. "She drags up
everything from the past and holds it against me!"
When a Christian forgives someone, he should never get
historical. — D.J.D.
Forgiven, forgotten, and cast in the sea,
My sins are remembered no more against me;
The Savior now asks me forgiveness to show,
So others will see what His grace can bestow. —Bosch
THOT: To forgive and not forget is simply to bury the hatchet

My mother calmly announced to a group of us the
other night that every time she turned on her organ to.
play “Alley Cat” she heard voices. .<1
I immediately made some smart remark about
piped-in music lovers registering a formal compalint.
when no one laughed, I hit 'em with the line about the
author of “Alley Cat” trying to get his music bade.
Still no laughs.
Finally, my husband said, “Hearing voices isn’t too
unusual. I used to hear conversations coming out o^.
my electric drill all the time. For a long while, until R
became popular, I didn’t tell anyone about it”
“There was a guy down the street,” said my dad,
“who had one of those remote controls for his'
television set and every time a plane went over his
house, the channel would change. Sometimes, during
a peak evening, he could follow as many as three
shows at a time.”
A neighbor piped in, “I guess you all heard about
the guy who lived near a highway with an electric
garage door? Every time a CBer would go by, his
garage door would zip up and down. No one thought
anything of it after awnile.’’ :>
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
“The vacuum sweepers are the worst,” said my
mother.
“A lot of people hear voices from their sweepers.” .
“What do they say?” I asked hesitantly.
“It’s not nice to eavesdrop,” said Mother. “After
all, if someone wanted to talk with you, they wouldn't
call you on your vacuum sweeper, they'd call you on
the phone.”
“That’s true,” I said.
“The one I felt sorry for was the woman who was on ,
some kind of a wave length with a transistor and
heard music from the fillings in her teeth.”
“Oh, c’mon,” I said, “you’re all putting me on.”
They looked at me like they were seeing me for the
first time. “Are you telling me you’ve never heard
voices from your toaster or your electric tooth* -
brush?” asked my husband.
“No,” I said, trying to grin.
“That’s really weird,,r said my dad. “You haven’t,
told anyone about the ‘no voices,’ have you?”
I shook my head numbly. “Doesn’t anyone else not
hear them?” I asked.
When no one else was around I turned on the organ.
and picked out, “Alley Cat.”
I heard voices. Five of ‘em in the kitchen laughing
themselves sick!
