DEAR ABBY: Going to
work every morning there is a
man who rides the same bus
I do. He is nice looking and
I would like to get to know
him. I think I should add he
gives me the eye so ! know
he's interested in meeting me,
Should I drop my purse Or
something or just start a con-
versation about the weather.
Or Is it his place to say some
thing to me first?
AVAILABLE.
Don't drop anything as OBJ
viOus as a purse. A word
about the weather or the
traffic should break the ice.
II he is also available" he
will welcome your small talk
and introduce himself.

DEAR ABBY: I am over 81
and have been going with q
good-looking divorced man

he was in love with me and
we talked of marriage. went
to his apartment to help him
hang pictures and while ! was
there he got two phone calls.

He got nervous and started
making UP so many lies (he
told one not to come over be-
cause he was having a gin
game, and he told the other
one she got him out Of a
shower and he'd call her right
back. When I asked who
called he lied again and said
they we're men but ! could
hear their voices and they
were women. II he lied to
them and then lied to me, do
you think ! should quit seeing
him?
OVER 81.
Break of with this phOny

are still clear. His kind should
stay single and make many

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

CONFIRMATION: Author
Gene Fowler was once man.
aging editor of a New York
newspaper. Irreverent and
inclined to scott at authority.
he forgot at times that he
was in a position of authority
himself.
One morning at his desk,
he noticed a look of chagrin
on the face of one Of the
reporters.
Whats eating you2" he
asked.
Il just had a run-in with
the boss relative and I called
him a so-and-so," said the
other.
"You did," Despite his po-
sition, Fowler's voice was
filled with admiration. Pick
ing up his phone, he said into
it:
Get me the boss relative.
Hello. boss relative? This is
Gene Fowler, the managing
editor. I wanted you to know
that ! think you're a so-and-
so, tool"
This done, he turned to
the reporter and said: Feel
better now?"

LAW IN THE NEWS

Any idea how many checks
are written in the United
States each year, or for how
much?
According to check debit
figures Of the Federal Reserve
Board, the number Of checks
drawn on the Nations $4,000
banks annually is in the
neighborhood Of 10 billion
totaling more than So tril-
lion. That averages out to
about $500 per check, which
indicates-in view of the
much smaller checks which
most of us write-that some
pretty big ones get banded
about.
The significance Of these
figures lies. at least partly,
in the remarkable accept
ance the American people
give to personal credit in
spite of the laws governing
the payment of debts.
Normally, under United
States law, everyone has a
right to be paid in legal ten
der for any debt owed him.
In other words. if you want
to be paid in cash, you can
be - provided you demand
such payment when the debt
is due or rendered and that
you decline to accept pay
ment by check.
Relatively, though, h
demands are quite rare-a
tribute to the convenience

thought a dame could strong

Haledjian. And if we can't
recover your wallet, it might
comfort you to know that it
was undoubtedly a man dressed
as a woman who beat you up"

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
13-Yeor-OId Girl Is Afraid of Dyino
By Or. PETER J. srEIAcWoHh

Many younger children are
preOccupied with fears and
fancies that usually disappear
by the time they reach their
pre-teens. If these anxities
persist-even becoming more
marked - a good diagnOSti-
clan should be called in to
rule out serious trouble. For
example, here is such a case:
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: 1 am
trying to find a way to help
my 131a-year-old girl. She is
an intelligent, fairly nice
looking child except for being
somewhat overweight. Her
problem is a horrible fear of
death! 1t seems she begins
thinking of dying and the
awful emptiness of death"
(as she puts it, after she gets
to bed at night. She works
herself up into a nervous
spell, crying, shivering and
unable to sleep. This happens
most often on week ends. Last
Sunday night she suddenly
bolted right up in bed
screaming: Il don't want to
die"
Would you say, DR.. Stein
crohn, that this is usual or
normal? She gets good grades
at school, but she doesn't
mix well with other students
and has few real friends. She
is a TV flend. She is a care
full, neat dresser and I try to
see to it that she has a nice
assortment Of clothes to boil
ster her morale. She seems to
feel so insecure most Of the
time.
Her brother and sister are
married. She came along II
years after the others. She
never has been really Ill. She
has not come into contact
with death closely except on
one occasion about Is months
ago. One Of her schoolmates
(since fourth grade) was
taken III suddenly IN school

and reliability of the check
system. In few other coun-
tries has the system become
so widespread. In fact, there
still are places where paper
money is viewed with sus-
picion and the natives bite
coins to be sure they are
genuine.
If you are one Of those who
have had trouble lately get
ting somebody or some store
to cash a check for you, the
tenor of this article may
seem somewhat glib and
overdrawn.
Obviously many parties
decline to accept checks. But
often these. are people or Or
CARNATIONS that you place in
the role of middle man or
bank by asking them to cash
your check. That is, you are
trying to pass on another's
check to you. or you are
asking to have your check
cashed as a favor. This can
be different from paying
someone by check for a pur-
chase or service you have
contracted for.
In the former case the one
who cashes the check may
have little practical recourse
if anything goes wrong. He
may be left holding the bag
If the check bounces. In the
latter case, your creditor has
a more tangible base from
which to proceed against you

with my daughter. and died
early that same evening.
However, my daughter had
shown fear of death even be-
fore this experience.
My husband thinks it is
all nonsense. But l am con-
cerned. The child seems to
be going through pure hell
when she gets these spells.
They occur many times a
month. 1t upsets me terribly
to see her witch and cry and
twist her hands and perspire.
l am at my wits end. I've
quoted scriptures, read her
scientific facts and used every
means I know of to help her,
except harshneSS. Will you
please advise me? Mrs. M. M.
As I indicated, it is not
unusual for infants, small
children and pre-teen-agerS
to have their fears. phObias
and silly Authorizations flor
example, little children often
invent imaginary playmateS).
However, 1t becomes abnOr-
NAL when the anxietieS null
tiply and intenSify-especiaI-
ly when they persist month
after month.
Therefore. Mrs. NJ. NJ, 1
believe that your daughter
requires an investigation by
a pediatrician and, IL need
be by q psychiatrist. It's
worth going even IL the news
Is good. She may turn out to
be . perfectly normal child.
As for your husband, 1 wish
I could say the same for him!
How any normal man can
stand by, watch his daughter
suffer "hellish torture" and
merely say ITS all nonsense"
beats me. The world is popu-
lated by many unfeeling,
hard-crusted parents. But l
never quite get used TO meet

help my wife with the baby.
I thought this visit would
be for just a few weeks, but
my mother-in-law shows no
sign of returning to her own
home. She is a widow and
has her own apartment, in
another community near
her other sons and daugh-
tiers.
Lately she has been kind
of limiting that we ought to
get a larger apartment, and
I feel she would like to move
in with US. She isn't a bad
sort as m0thers-in-law go,
but I would rather she didn't
live with us. / feel it's time
my wife started limiting that
she ought to return home.
This she refuses to do.
Betty F.-My mother has
been the most wonderful help
to both of US all these
months. I really can't tell her
she should go now that we
are ready to dispense with
her services.
I was quite sick when the
baby first came and I don't
know what I would have done
without her. Gerald refuses
to realize how much easier
our life has been because
Mother is here. We are able
to go out just as much as we
did before the baby was born.
I hate to be as tied down as
I would have to be If Mother
weren't here.
I don't know why Gerald
is so anxious to have Mother
leave. She is so nice to him
and doesn't get in our way.
She is the only one who
really knows how to quiet the
baby and keep him happy.
I dread her leaving.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Betty is evidently unaware
that she has turned her child
over to her mother. The mere
fact that she is not conscious
of even missing anything is
indication enough that her
mother has overstayed the
visit.
Betty's mother apparently
has a desire to be of vital use
to someone in the same way
she was when she was
younger and had her own
family dependent upon her.
Betty, all too easily, falls
back in the role of being a
little girl in her mothers
home. She has lost the
normal woman's desire to
establish her own domain.
The situation which now
exists in this household is
really worse than one in
which there is fighting and a
struggle for power between
mother and daughter. Betty
never will know the expert
ence of being a mother unless
she fights for it.
Gerald's intuition in this
case is a right one. Even if
the circumstances were such
that Betty's mother were
forced to live with this couple,
it should be on a far different
basis. Betty should assume
the essential responsibility for
her child and her mother
would have to be eased over
to the side lines-her proper
place in relation to this new
family.
1t undoubtedly will be diff
flcult for Betty to get along
without her mother at first.
But as she rises to her re-
SponSibilities she will find
rewards she now knows moth
ing about, and she will regret
the time she spent on the
outskirts of motherhood.
