DEAR ABBY
Should Teacher Step In Here?
By ABIGAIL VAN BUREN,

DEAR ABBY: We have a
little lady in our town who
has a fine husband and five
adorable youngsters. The eld-
est is 8, and then on down
like stair steps. The three
older children come to school
unwashed with their clothes
on backwards, inside out and
their shoes on the wrong feet.
1t is all too apparent that
their mother was not up to
help them dress. I don't know
what kind of breakfast they
could have had with their
mother sleeping.
When anyone drops in on
her, she is mapping" with
the TV going full blast, the
children climbing the walls,
and the house in a Shambles.
Is it the business of the
community to look in on this
situation? Or is it a private
affair? My husband says to
mind my own business, 1 say
she needs to be talked to.
What do you say?
SCHOOL TEACHER
Someone should '1OOk in"
on this hOme-and the soon
er the better. The mother ap-
pears to be physically i'll,
mentally incompetent - or
both. Where the welfare of
children is involved, an in
vestigatiOn is in order. First,
talk to her husband tpri-
vately). She needs help.

on his own, but his fear of
being pushed around"
reveals his lack of confidence.
If he doesn't trust his
partner, he should get out Of
the situation even if he must
take a loss. If be does trust
his partner, he must make
every effort to cooperate in
a mature manner. For ex-
ample, he was dead wrong
when he made decisions
without consulting his part
ner. We suspect he made
these decisions when egged
on by his wife.
Ethel's attitude is that Of
an oveprotective mother who
is sure her little boy will get
hurt in the harsh, cruel
world. Dick rightfully resents
this. but he protests in a
childishly rebellious manner.
Dick should learn to eX-
anime facts carefully, then
act on them in a rational
manner. He should learn to
listen to those who have real
knowledge without feeling
pushed around" by them.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
It's Too Hot! VS.. It's Too Cold!
BY DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

is, and don't you underrate
it.
I have known many who
actually gave up good Jobs
and careers because they
couldn't stand the heat in
the South or the cold in the
North. But most have to
stay on and suffer. People
differ not only in the shape
Of their nose and the color
Of their eyes; they react
personally to weather
change.
Therefore, sit down with
your husband and talk 1t
over. First, admit that he
doesn't have idiosyncrasies
any more than you do. Your
body can't stand the heat;
his machine can't bear the
cold. Admitting that, and
knowing it, you will not
think him ridiculous when he
actually squirms in draft
that you don't even feel. And
he will not think you out
of your mind when you feel
discomfort in a house where
the temperature is Sc.
You'd be surprised how
many normal people there
are who can't stand any
slight deviation from their
comfortable temperature
range"
Once you get yourself to
admit that the other actu-
ally suffers-and you'd be
surprised how many people
are actually allergic to cold
the two of you will compro-
mise. In fact, you will go
out of your way to make
the other more comfortable.
You will find there will be
no more window-opening-
and-closing, no tampering
with the thermostat, and
what is most important; no
more i'll feeling.

The birthplace of Chris
topher Columbus stands out
side the old battlements of
Genoa. 1t is a tiny. two-story
house covered with ivy. 1t
can't be more than Is feet
wide and, the day I stood
before it, I realized why the
kid had to go out and dis
cover a new world: Claustro-
phobia.
There are some miSconcep-
tions about the voyage. One
is that Queen Isabella pawned
her jewels to help her friend
Chris. This is not true. What
she said, in the presence of
her husband. was that if no
one else would help Colum-
bus, she would leave the
crown jewels to soak in Uncle
Ben'S Friendly Loan Com
pany. Ferdinand took the
hint and chucked $8,500 into
the kitty.
THE ENTIRE COST of the
trip was about $4,000, the
price of ranch house. In a
way. Chris failed because he
was out to discover a short
cut to India, and what he
discovered was a new hemi-
sphere. No one could tell him
that it wasn't India. so he
named the natives Indians.
This unnerved some of the
tribes, like the Iroquois and
Seminoles who, until that
time, didn't know what they
we're.
The ships were the Nina.

taken up with real problems
such as severe illness.
Our house is a daily battle
field. And over what? Merely
because I'm uncomfortable
when I'm too warm; and my
husband is very unhappy
when he is too cold. An
evening at home consists of
my opening the windows and
his closing them. In winter
each Of us fiddles with the

he has it in for me because

I really need Jonathan

He has everything to gain
