DEAR ABBY .
Countdown Indicated Here
BY ABIGAIL VAN BUREN,

DEAR ABBY: I have tried
laughing. weeping, cussing
and going home to mother,
but I can't get my husband
to finish the handicapped
coffee table he started three
years ago. It's true, he has
never finished anything he
started, so I suppose I should
be accustomed to it, but after
Is years this is one thing I
want him to finish.
It is a lovely green marble
which he bought in Spain,
and would be perfect in our
living room. He has the
necessary tools. materials,
ability and time.
If you print this, go ahead
and use my real name. We
have Air Force friends scat
tered over three continents
who will know exactly who he
is anyway. Hopefully,
STEVE'S MAGGIE.
Chip away at him, Honey.
II it isn't finished by the first
Of the year, hire someone to
do it.
DEAR ABBY: Tonight my
love affair ended. I've read
your column with mixed feel
ings because I know what it
is to hunger for someone who
can't be legally yours. I have
something to pass on to those
unfortunate mixed-up people
Chats what we are) who try
changing jobs or moving
away but somehow always
find a way to get together
again.
I have a devoted husband,
wonderful children and a full
life. So why did I get myself
into a situation which could
destroy all this? I don't
know the answer, and I don't
think anyone does.
I am not a religious person,
Abby, but I prayed to God
to help me want to end this

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Two Kinds of Doctors
By DR.. PETER }. sTElNcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I like
my doctor except for one i'm
portant fault. At least, it's a
fault as far as I'm con-
cerned. He doesn't say much.
Just tells you once what to
do, gives you your prescrip-
ton, and that's that. I'd pre-
fer one who takes time to
sit down and explain and en-
courage you. Don't you think
that's important?-Mr. v.
WHEN I WAS JUST start
ing out in the practice of
medicine, I recall an incident
which bears on your question.
I was assisting a prominent
doctor in a heart clinic. One
week a middle aged man
came in who was short of
breath, his ankles were swol-
len, and he was very much
overw eig hit. Examination
showed that he had heart
disease. My chief talked to
the man briefly after the ex-
animation. Told him he had
heart disease, give him a diet
and a prescription for digi-
tails. He was to return next
week.
Usually, patients with this
kind Of heart failure do well
on the directions and treat
ment outlined for them. But
here he was again, even
shorter Of breath, weighing
more and evidently a very
sick man.
Didn't you follow my di-
rections?" asked DR.. X.
The patient looked at him
sheepishly and said: II guess
it was my fault, doctor. I
didn't get the prescription
filled and I didn't watch my
diet. I'll try better next time"
I expected the doctor to
take time out to give the
man a lecture. To say that
his life was at stake and
that he'd better get down to
business in the coming week.
However, all he said was:
Here's another prescription;
I hope you cooperate this
week."
After the patient had left,
I said: "As a young doctor
just starting out, I'd like to
ask you a question. I won-
dered why you didn't take
time to explain to the patient
that he was actually taking
his own life in his hands by

The coming of Christmas
and the years end will bring
to you-if you are past CO.
some contemplations about
retirement.
Following is a list designed
to give you a bit Of nourish-
ment for your thoughts:
TAXES - After retirement
you'll not find income taxes
too painful II your only in
come is social security and a
pension. But you had better
watch all forms of real estate
taxes If you have a home in
a community where many
children are coming up to
school age, or a new COM
munity that needs sidewalks
and storm sewers. Bond is
sues can break your back.
Also keep an eye cooked to-
ward any personal property
taxes (car, furniture and
mama's rings Cor toward in
tangible taxes (any stocks and
bonds.
SOCIAL SECURITY Ig-
norance on this matter is
profound, despite all the ef-
forts Of newspapers to ex-
plain 1t. Your social security
benefits at 81 or IS, and
your wife's benefits at the
same ages, are neat little
pieces of information that
only a social security office
can give you. Your neighbors
can't. Your friends can't.
Only a social security office
can. You should contact the
social security office nearest
your home (look in the phone
book or ask at the post Of
fice.J Go there and ask ques-
tions. Don't be embarrassed.
It's your money.
LIFE INSURANCE-Many
people approaching retire
ment have life insurance pol
icies that provide what they
needed at IS or As. You
should examine your policies,
and If you find the provisions
Of them no longer what you
want, you should contact the
companies that issued the
policies and consider CONVEX
sionS that are open to you.
Annuities. perhaps.
ANNUITIES - What they
pay will differ with your age,
how much money you put
into them and whether you
want to leave money to your
heirs. Your life insurance
company has the answers.
HUNGER-You have little
choice if your retirement in
come will not be enough to
support you. You can appeal
to family or friends for help,
or you can apply to the well
fare department. Bite your
lip If you must, but if you
need help in retirement do
not hesitate to go to public
welfare. Several people have
been there before you.
INVESTMENTS-All sorts
Of oddball information floats
around retirement circles
about how much money you
can make on your savings.
AS a rule, as of right now, a
retired person should be sat-

It's a good bet that tele-
vision isn't going to replace
the teacher.
But it's going to be a USE
full tool in education. 1t
is now. 1t has been tried for
everything from teaching the
three Rs to illiterate adults
to giving medical students a
birds eye view of surgical
techniques.
A lot of people are con-
vinced that it's the best way
yet found to reach a large
group Of students with expert
teaching-quicly. That ex-
pert reaches more people with
one lecture than he could in
years of classroom demon
strations.
Everyone seems interested
in the possibilities. The
United States Office Of Edu-
cation has been experiment.
ing with it for several years.
DR.. Franklin Dunham, chief
of radio and television for the
Office of Education, recently
presented television diplomas
to 816 former illiterates in
Tennessee. Men and women
with proud tears in their
eyes accepted these docu-
ments certifying that they
can now read and write.
Commercially sponsored
programs in the education
field have received warm
welc com eS. Continental
Classroom" has 100000 view-
ers. 5000 Of whom are en-
rolled for credit in co-operat-
ing schools and colleges.
Educational Channels
In 1852 the Federal Com
municationS Commission,
recognizing television as part
of the public domain, set
aside certain channels for
educational use. About so Of
these channels are now in
operation.
Cities. States, educational
foundations, schools and COL
leges have supported pro-
grams in order to determine
the usefulness of television.
Some of their results have
been most encouraging.
Taxpayers. eyeing the edu-
cational budget, watch with
intense interest the expert
ment of the flying class
room," a plane that flies four
miles above Northeast Indi-
ana, broadcasting tape
recorded courses over two
miles in every direction, COW
ering parts of six States, an
area with S million students
in $4,000 schools and
colleges.
Programs from the flying
classroom" reach big city
classes and small rural
schools at the same cost,
considerably less per pupil
tn a n comparable coverage
from ground stations.
Medical schools have found
closed-circuit television inval-
liable. The camera centering
squarely on an operation fire.
quently carries to students
details that the operating
surgeon cannot see, but only
feel.
In many science classes
television permits a whole
class to view experiments
that formerly could only be
seen by the instructor and
one or two students.
No Miracle by TV
Educational television is
still a long way from creating
an educational miracle. In
most cases it is limited to
presenting a good teacher
giving a good lesson. 1t may
be a better teacher-and a
letter lesson - but this is

The "loggerhead" expression

Opening lead: Diamond deuce.

Many pairs reached the am
bilious game in hearts when
North unwisely made a second
response. North should pass
two hearts and be satisfied
with good days work.
The fate of the game con-
tract depends largely on
Vests opening lead. Should
he lead a low diamond or a
low club?
South makes the game If
West leads a diamond. East
wins with the ace of diamonds
and returns his low trump.
South puts up the king, and
West wins with the ace. Vests
best defense is to return his
low trump, and East's ten
forces out the queen.
South cashes the king of
diamonds, ruffs a diamond in
dummy, and tries the spade
finesse. When it works, South
can see daylight.
Overtakes Club
Declarer overtakes the king
Of clubs with dummy's ace in
order to try another spade
finesse. Then South leads a
low spade toward dummy's
last trump.
West discards, since he can
not gain by ruffing. Dummy's
ruff sets up the rest of the
spades. South gets back by
ruffing a club and leads the
ace of spades to clinch the
contract.
Not an easy hand to play,
but South struggles home
against a diamond lead, mostly
because this clears up some of
his work A club lead does
nothing for South, and the
same trump defense would put
the skids under him.
How can West tell that the
club lead is so much more eff
fective than a diamond lead?
He cannot tell. Luck still plays
a part even in the final ses-
sion of a national champion
ship.
