DEAR ABBY

DEAR ABBY: My best
friend and work together.
There was a good-looking
policeman who used to talk to
us on our break, and my girl
friend fell in love with this
man. He is married and has
several children. He and his
family are moving out Of the
city, and now my girl friend
is planning to quit her job and
try to find one where he is
going. She says she realizes
that he is not free to marry
her, but she can't live without
being near him. / am trying
to talk her out Of it but am
not having very much luck.
/ hate to see her hurt. If l
send you her address, will you
write to her and tell her she
is heading for trouble?
A FRIEND.
II she won't listen to you,
she won't listen to me. Some
people have to learn the hard
way. And the tragedy Of this
kind Of learning is that so
many innocent people must
pay the tuition.
DEAR ABBY: l married a
man who had a 14-year-old
daughter. (His wife died two

years before.) We've been
married a year and this girl
addresses me as ''my step
mother" with the most en-
phatic and insulting accent on
the "steS" that you could
ever imagine. When she
speaks of me to others, she
refers to me as my fathers
wife" Please tell me hcw l
am supposed to feel. l have
bent over backwards trying to
be a good mother.
HURT.
Small wonder you are
"hurt." The girls hOstilities
are running out Of her mouth.
She probably would resent
any woman who married her
father. so don't take it person
ally. Continue to be the best
mother possible, and ask your
husbands advice on this
thOrny problem.

DEAR ABBY: l am sitting
home again tonight while my

A New Years resolution
made and kept is a triumph.
If you are one who avoids
making resolutions because
they are so often broken, here
is a solution: Accompany
each new resolution with a
plan Of action for its accom-
pishment.
For example, a resolution to
study more, by itself, can
actually result In even less
study. But, a resolution to
study more In a given course,
accompanied by a definite
plan for course-organization, is
likely to bring success.
Here are some New Years
resolutions for students that
can be kept:
Q ! resolve to make a list for
each course Of the things /
must complete. l will jot
down the "due date" Of each
one, plan to work on complet-
ing the assignments every
opportunity / get, and check
each off as / complete it.
. / resolve to improve my
listening skill. l will read or
outline ahead in each course,
think about what is being said
in class, and fit it in with
what / already know.
. / resolve to improve my
handwriting by writing a
short sentence or new vocabu-
larry words each day, striving
for more ease with each repe-
tition.
. ! resolve to analyze my
examination papers thus far
In the semester, searching for
the cause of any low grade. II

recheck each future test paper
for any such errors before
turning in the paper.
. l resolve to review each
course from the beginning
every few days from now
until the end of the semester
and to keep the overall pat
tern of the subject clear in
my mind.
. l resolve to learn to read
effectively for each course. |
will glance through the text to
try to anticipate what is COM
ing up, read rapidly, and
recite back to myself what I
have learned.
. l resolve to try to learn as
much as / can in each course,
not just do assignments. Even
when there is no assignment
for the next day, l will spend
Is or 20 minutes thinking
about what l have learned in
the course and what is COM
ing up next.
. l resolve to dress the part
and to act the part of the
kind of student l wish to be-
come, since teachers often
accept students on their own
face value.
These resolutions are only
samples. Each student SHOULD
make ones appropriate fol
him but, in each case, HI
should accompany his reSolu
ton with a specific plan o
action.

 Your face is in front of your head where you eat. Your neck is what keeps your head off your shoulders which are sort of shelves where you hook your overall straps.
 Your stomach is something that if you don't eat often or too much. it hurts. Your spine is long bone in your back which keeps you from folding up. Your back is always be- hind you no matter which way you turn.
 Your arms you got to have to pitch with and so you can reach the biscuits. Your fingers stick out of your hands so you can scratch, throw a curve, and add arithmatick.

sacks had started at Point Hope when some women found they could not afford to buy white calico for their husbands over-parkas for hunting. They found, that by boil ing the containers thoroughly they could take off the red lettering.
 Flour came in 50 pound sacks. After shaking out the flour dust out of them, the women unstitched them by pulling out the loop stitch and they had piece of cloth about a yard square. They took several of these and put them in a tub of water along with chunks of yellow naphtha soap.
 After boiling they were rinsed and dried. They were then made into over-parkas. Mother had taken up the custom and had made father one that was very white.
 T would like to have one too, Mother. Will you make me one?" I asked her one day.
 "I'll make one for you when I have time," she had answered.
 I was very happy anticipating my new over-parka that would be just like fathers. Mother took her time and I would remind her every so often. The day finally came when she began to boil three flour sacks 'or it.

Not long ago, while watching tele- vision, documentary film came on the screen narrated by a woman. The film told of many, many ways of making use of the colorfully printed material now used as con- tainers for rice, rolled oats and other cereals, sugar, and. of course, flour.
 AS I watched how the attractive fabric was being made into skirts, quilted pieces, blouses, and other useful items. thought came to my mind at once, T may have helped put the flour containers into their present use"
 Another reminder was back in 1861, when returned to Point Hope from the lower states. After a few days there I found that the women were using the same colorful con- tainers for parka coverings, or kus- puks, as the Kuskokwim area Eski- mos call them. The women of Point Hope had made kuspuks for them- selves and for their little daughters and they looked very nice indeed. That, of course, brought memories back to the days when I was a lit- tle boy.
 The cotton flour containers in those days were white. One particu- lar brand of flour had large red letters printed on one side of the sack.

 "You did not boil my parka long enough. Mother. I wish you would boil it some more because you can still see the red marks I com plained.
 Mother had begun to busy herself with other things and she said rather curtly, Go out and play. Come on, out with you!"
 The very sound of her voice was a command and I went out of our sod .igloo very. reluctantly. hated to be seen by my young friends and the rest of the villagers with letters showing on my new parka.
 There were children playing out. I started walking slowly but not directly toward them, One boy. a best pal of mine, hollered, Howard, where are you going?
 I didn't answer and he came. run ming to me. When he reached me he looked me over and said quietly and soberly, Howard, you look like flour"
 By this time several children had joined us and some of them snick- cred. I was very uncomfortable and wished I could disappear. Wherever was after that, was painfully aware of the large red letters on he back and front of my new oarka. They read, Best Flour
