beloved mother I received
the notice Of her obituary
just as 1t was printed in our
hometown newspaper, en-
cased in plastic. on the
other side was the Lords
Prayer. There was a request
to either return 1t or send
q dollar. I think commercial
izing on the death Of a loved
one is disgraceful. One hest
tates to throw away any
thing as sacred as the Lords
Prayer. so I sent the money,
but put the thing in a
drawer. > How would you
have handled this!
DISGUISED
You are under no Obliga-
tiOn to acknowledge, return
or pay for anything you did
not order. The only effective
way to discourage this type
Of exploitation Is to ignore
It,.

DEAR ABBY: In reply to
the milkman's wife who was
jealous because her husband
had the key to a lady's
apartment so he could put
her milk in her refrigerator:
I was a milkmap for 26
years with a big company
and there wasn't a driver
there who didn't have at
least one key. I knew one
who had Is keys! We de-
livered from 200 am. till
TOO am. and here are a few
things we did in the line Of
duty:
Heat baby's bottle. Garry
out the wash. Put up the
clothes line. Empty the
trash. I even had to hook up
a lady's dress in back once
because she couldn't reach
it and her husband was out
Of town.
So, don't let a little thing
like having the key to an
other apartment worry you.
EX-MILKMAN

ming Star. Inclose a SELF

So many women have vari-
cose veins! In fact 1t seems to
be the exception for a woman
to be. completely free OF these
from middle age on and many
very young women are made
unhappy and uncomfortable
because Of them.
Though they seem to be
inherited, this does not mean
that you will have varicose
veins just because your fore
bears had them. They do
seem to run In families, how
ever. and you may have a
tendency to them.
Perhaps, the most impor-
tant bit Of advice / can give
you is to see a physician as
soon as you notice this trou-'
BILE. At whatever stage your
varicosity may be, you should
see one-the sooner the bet
ter. 1t is important to get
treatment early.
Varicose veins are not only
ugly to behold but they can
cause you great discomfort
and even become dangerous If
neglected.
1t has been estimated that
more than half of the adult
population has some degree
of varicosity. Women are
more subject to this than
men.
Pregnancy is a predispos-
ing factor. Tight girdles and
garters and standing for long
periods each day also play
their part.

DEAR ABBY: The man
who lives next door TO us
ought to be ashamed Of him
self. At the first sign Of
spring, he starts working in
his yard in the briefest Of
swim trunks. They are flesh
colored and at a distance 1t
looks like he has nothing on.
Besides this he is as hairy
as an ape. He is really repul-
sive.
I do not know him very
well, but I know his wife.
Should I tell her to ask
her husband to wear more
in the yard? My husband

WHY GROW OLD?
VQricOse Veins
Can Be Dangerous

As a preventative and cor
receive measure you should
put your feet up whenever
possible. Take short rest
periods with your feet higher
than your head, or II that is
not possible, at least place
them on a chair when you sit.
II your work keeps you at a
desk or sitting for hours at q
time. periodically get up and
walk about the room.
Elastic stockings are q help
but these should be fitted to
you individually. Some Of the
newest ones are quite sheer.
Medical treatment for ex-
IRENE cases usually consists
of injections, or surgery to
remove the offending veins.

says it's the mans business
what he wears in his own

since it's. impossible to keep
our daughters inside till the

opinion?

BY all means, have q
friendly little chat with his
wife. Use diplomacy and tact
and I'll bet she covers the

Swedes to Extract
Uranium From ShuIe

STOCKHOLM.-The Atomic
Energy Commission has re-
ceived permission from the
Swedish government to build
the country's first plant for the
extraction of uranium from
shale. 1t will be at Ranstad in
the southwestern part Of the
country.
The factory. employing $50
men, is expected to 60 into
operation in 1864.
Annual production is esti-
mated at 100 tons Of natural
uranium, which means Sweden
will be self-supporting for the
rest Of the 1905 in atomic
power fuel.

A former Polish freedom
fighter last night started a
seven-day hunger strike to pro-
test Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev's visit, ignoring food and
water. but guarding against
parking tickets.
Jozef Mlot-Mroz is the first
Of a group of anti-Communists
expected in Washington dur
ing the next few days to picket
the White House.
BY the time he got to the
Executive Mansion from his
Salem (Mass.). home. a group
Of policemen had been as
signed to meet him.
He tried to park his car,
loaded with letters. pamphlets,
posters and more than $1,000
worth in flags, but was imme-
diately asked to move.
"All the places around the
White House apparently are
TAKEN" he said when he finally
parked on The Ellipse.
Four-Hour Limit
He was informed that he
couldn't stay even there more
than four hours. II will stay
close by as want people to
know I'm here and that I'm
not eating anything" he in
sisted.
While this is the first time
Mr.. Mlot-Mroz has encountered
so many parking problems it is
not the first time he has given
up food and water, "for the
things I believe in"
He said he has gone on three
hunger strikes before-twice in
Poland and once in Germany.
The 80 year old leather
worker said: This visit by Rus
sian Prime Minister Khru-
shchev can destroy the spirit
and hope for freedom of thous-
ands, maybe millions. of people
