agent George Vapaa said.
IF you want to protect your fam
lily from the hazards OF fire, pre-
plan escape routes from every
room in your home" he said.
planning ahead for fire emer-
gencies would save more than
eight of every ten lives lost yearly
in home fires" Mr.. Vapaa said.
Home fires take about 5000
lives each year, National Fire Pro-
lection Association records show.
He urges every family to follow
these rules to avoid being trapped
by fire:
1. Carefully figure out at least
two routes to the outside from
every room in the house.
2. Rehearse exit plans with every
member of the family. Make sure
the entire family, especially the
youngest children, knows what to
do.
8. Always keep exit routes clear
Don't place stoves or space heaters
near doors or tall furniture in
front of windows. Make sure win
dows are large enough and low
enough to serve as emergency exits.
A. Be sure everyone understands
that "Once out-stay out" Renter
ing house where there is fire is
extremely dangerous.

DEAR ABBY
Locking Courage, Daughter Lies
By ABIGAIL VAN sUREN

DEAR ABBY: I have q IA
year-old daughter who is so
boy crazy she worries me sick.
All she thinks about is boys.
She's got boys names written
all over her books. And every
piece Of paper by the tele-
phone is marked up with
initials and boys names.
When the doorbell rings
she runs like lightning to talk
to any delivery boy it hap
pens to be.
What really bothers me is
she lies. I don't allow her to
go in cars with boys so she
walks to a girls house and
the boys meet her with a car
there. I found this out by
reading her diary. I asked
her for the truth and she lied
to cover up her lies. How can
I get the truth out Of her?
MRS. G.
The only reason children
lie Is because they haven't
the courage to tell the truth.
Give your daughter that

difficulty in accepting the
status Of adult children. A
girl of Is should be quite
capable of running her own
home, but If she is unmar-
ried and living at home she
is usually forced into the
position Of a child living in
a parents home.
1t isn't hard to see why
June should resent her
mothers social operations,
no matter how successful
they are. When June receives
friends she should be the
charming hostess, not her
mother. She should have the
responsibility for creating a
successful evening and should
get any compliments that
might he handed out.
Mrs. L. P. is also wrong to
intimidate her daughter, CIV
ing her the guilty feeling that
her desire for independence
implies lack of love. This just
isn't the case. On the other
hand, Mrs. l.. P.'s strong need
to play a leading role in her
d aughter's social affairs
strongly smacks of a lack of
unself1sh love.

courage by assuring her that
no matter what she has done

threats are too frightening

disappointed.

Mother and I disagree on the
list of wedding guests.

my auntS, uncles and cousins.
This includes all my PAR
ENTS' auntS, uncles and
cousins, too. And all their
children! I could stumble
over most of my parents
aunts, uncles and cousins and
not even know them. Why
must I ask them to my we'd
ding?"
1t is a small church and I
have to consider the groom's
family. If they were to in
vite as many from their side
as we invited from our side,
we couldn't all get in the
church. This whole thing is
making me very nervous.
Please send me some advice
before I elope and settle the
matter. NERVOUS BRIDE.
Use a little psychology and
suggest that your mother use
little arithmetic! How many
people will the church accom-
mOdate? The grOOm's side Is
entitled to half those seats.
Naturally, the immediate"
relatives are on the top of the
list. The more remote the
relative, the farther down the
list. LOp off the list at the
bottom. Now. wasn't that
simple?

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
TREATING Man Behind the Body
By DR.. PETER J. STEINcRoHN

Mrs. L. NJ, of Los Angeles
says: II have faults, too. But
my husband is very nervous.
I'm getting that way also,
trying to keep things smooth
around the house. He's too
tough and unyielding on me
and our three children.
She goes on to say that her
husband was on his own
since the age Of Is because
his parents were divorced.
Being rejected when so
young probably explains his
pessimistic outlook. Under
standingly, Mrs. L. M. says
that because he didn't
receive love as a youngster
he is unable to give it now.
Maybe because he did with
out it and made many sacri-
-flceS he feels others should
be able to do likewise"
AS a result he gets annoy
ed at his children and seems
unable to give genuine SYM
pathy when they really need
it. Mrs. L. M. adds: The
main reason for pouring out
my woes to you is this. In my
heart I don't believe that any
doctor, who sees only the
body and not the man be-
hind the body, will be able to
help my husband. A log
doesn't crumble from just
decaying overnight. 1t takes
years. The same with my
husband. I feel he needs help
and understanding. Don't

apartment with a friend in
the downtown area of our
city. My mother is Mortified
by the idea.
I feel that I'm old enough
to have my own place.
Mother often gets on my
nerves by asking me too
many questions and in
volving herself in my social
life. She always monopolizes
the conservation when I
have friends over. When I
come home with a date she
insists upon fixing a snack
for us, no matter how late
it is. I want to be on my
own.
MRS. L. P.-I definitely do
not approve of young single
girls living by themselves. I
know that a lot of them do it
today, but that doesn't make
1t the right thing. I am q
broad-minded person and I
wouldn't mind June'S living
at a club or someplace where
there is some supervision,
this bachelor apartment idea
is terrible.
I was never aware that she
was annoyed with my pres
ence. I have always tried to
be cordial and entertaining
when June has guests. Many
of her friends have compli-
mented me on being a charm
ing hostess and an interest
ing person.
June has complete freedom.
She has hurt me deeply by
her annoyance with my mere
presence.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
We agree that bachelor
quarters for single girls are
not most desirable living
quarters. Yet many girls are
driven to it by unfavorable
conditions at home.
Most parents seem to have

by an attentive doctor may
do the job.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I
could Chunk my stubborn
husband on the head. He
knows he has a high chole-
sterol. He knows that coro-
nary disease runs in his fam
lily. He knows we all love him
but he won't do a thing
about taking a low fat diet.
He says he loves to eat
fats and he'll take his
chances. Is there any medi-
cine that will take the place
of diet? Sincerely, Mrs. B. p"
NOTHING WILL TAKE
the place of diet. Tell him
he's a bad boy.
Until you can get him
thinking SenSibly, you might
ask your doctor if he has had
any experience with prescrib-
ing NICOTINE acid for high
choleSterol. 1t often brings
the level down.
In most patients this med
icine causes f1ushes; which
usually disappear after the
patient has been taking the
NICOTINE acid for about a
week. Some have itching,
nausea, vomiting, diarrhea.
Usually, however, the patient
can take this treatment
without discomfort.
So y
Mr.. SIS. of Tacoma, WASH
ington, wants to know about
any new wonder drugs that
we are using. Let's briefly re-
view the advances during the
past decade or two.
Penicillin was first used
clinically in 1912. Then came
streptomycin, in 1914, for the
treatment of tuberculosis. In
1948 vitamin BIZ came into
being clinically to neutralize
pernicious anemia. During
the same year DR.. Philip S.
Hench made his dramatic
move against rheumatoid
arthritiS with cortiSone. And
then, in 1856, came chloro-
thiazide in the management
of hypertensive cardiovascu-
lar disease.
These derful drugs
have many more uses. When
ever you become diSappoint-
ed in your doctor for not yet
having found a cure for the
common cold, you will for
give him; because of his sue
cess in other diseases with
the wonder drugs.
