Dear Abby... He Sounds Like a Store Dummy! by Abigail Van Buren DEAR ABBY: I was in a big store shopping for an Easter party. I was picking up bunnies and chicks and little things for table decorations. I couldn't hold everything in my hands so I asked the floor manager if he would give me a sack, while I shopped some more. He said, "No" and I said, "Why not?" He said, "Because you could walk out the door without paying for them." I said, "If that was my intention I would have brought my own sack." He just turned his back on me. I am still plenty burned up about this and if I had more time I'd have dumped everything on the counter and shopped elsewhere. Don't you think a good store should provide baskets for their shoppers? STILL MAD DEAR STILL: Indeed I do. And the store where you shopped also could have provided a more tactful floor manager. DEAR ABBY: A lady wrote to your column and complained that her husband "lost" four hankies in one week. Well, I have her beat. My husband lost two pair of underwear in three days! He comes home drunk and can't remember anything. When I accuse him of running around he says I'm crazy. How should I handle this? HAD IT DEAR HAD: Go with him and see that he doesn't lose his shirt. DEAR ABBY: I went to my doctor for a check-up and he said I should lose ten pounds and he put me on a diet. My husband does not think I am overweight and said if I lost ten pounds I would be a bag of bones and he would have to shake the sheets to find me. Should I obey my doctor or my husband? AUDREY DEAR AUDREY: On matters of your health, listen to your doctor. Your husband is still dreaming about the Gibson girl. DEAR ABBY: My husband and I were asked to be Godparents for a baby who was born to some so-so friends of ours. I don't mean to be snobbish, but we can't imagine why they asked us because we rarely see them and surely they must have closer friends than we are. My husband says to tell them we would rather not be Godparents and I say we should go through with it and get it over with. Have you any suggestions? By the way, what are the obligations and duties of Godparents, anyway? JUST FRIENDS DEAR JUST: Call their clergyman and find out exactly what the "duties and obligations" of Godparents are in their church. If you do not want the responsibility, by all means decline in a few very diplomatic words.

(Distributed by McNaught Syndicate, Inc.) Lower Retail Food Prices Seen For Year by Agriculture Department By GAYLORD P. GODWIN United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Agriculture Department said today retail food prices are likely to average a little lower this year than in 1958 when they were at an all-time high. The department forecast a small reduction in prices because of prospective larger supplies of pork, eggs and, at least during the first half of 1959, of fresh citrus fruits and vegetables. There appeared to be little cause for joy among grocery-buying housewives and producers, however, because the department forecast said "marketing charges for food are likely to increase this year." This means a smaller farm share of the consumer's food dollar, a bigger take for the middleman, and less savings for the housewife. The department said in its publication, "The National Food Situation," that per capita consumption likely would recover from the decline of last year when supplies of some foods were temporarily reduced. The per capita increases will be mostly in pork, lard, chicken and, possibly, lamb and mutton. The consumption rate for beef likely will be 81 pounds per person compared with 79.7 pounds last year. The rate for veal is forecast at 6.7 pounds, compared with 6.8 pounds in 1958. The consumption rate of pork will jump to a whopping 66 pounds compared with 60.6 pounds last year. The eating of lamb and mutton is expected to go up from 4.1 pounds per person to 4.4 pounds. Consumption of chicken will jump from 28.2 pounds to 29.8 pounds, the department said. Thieves Show Some Honor In London Crime LONDON (UPI) — There is honor of a sort among thieves after all, and Scotland Yard was getting plenty of help today from the underworld in its effort to find the burglar who broke into the home of Sir Winston Churchill. Whoever the thief was, and he has few friends left, he got away with $28,000 in furs and jewelry, thus dampening the celebrations today for Lady Churchill's 74th birthday. Underworld "narks" — Stoolpl爵 — believe the burglar was too young to know there is a curious code of honor about the home of the nation's wartime savior. Or else padding silently about "millionaires row" he found an unguarded house and broke in without knowing the identity of the owner.

BURKE United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — A government medical researcher reported today that a chemical used in manufacturing household detergents has unusual properties which: —Are credited with saving a Progress Made in Should Please Prevent By DELI UPI Science EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo. ent atomic age should be very hardly is any doubt. The good news is that science now has the most plausible clue as to how radiation does it. Suppose leukemia is caused by a virus. If so, it may be a virus which sleeps harmlessly in unto multitudes — until something happens which awakens it into death dealing malignancy. Radiation may be a something. This supposing stems from the pioneering work of Dr. Ludwig Gross which has convinced most cancer scientists, including the most skeptical, that at least one leukemia — a leukemia of mice is caused by a virus. Gross' published several years ago was positive as proof can be in the difficult field. COOL GAME — While Southern California is weltering in the midst of a heat wave, residents of this Mencinee, Michigan, community were still in the throes of winter storms although spring had officially arrived. When temperatures began to rise recently, these youngsters were out with their spring toys while protected with heavy winter clothing. (UPI Photo) IN NAME ONLY Gongstairs’ Meet One Day Defeat in Paris By DICK DAVIS United Press International PARIS (UPI)—French “gangers” (pronounced gongstair) were nearly wiped out in Paris recently but in name only. “La striptease,” an art form much admired in France, shimmed and bumped away in the Paris hot spots but people suddenly started calling it “deshabilige” instead. It was the big event for purification” of the French language, part of a nationwide campaign to stop Frenchmen from borrowing words from other languages, mainly English. The campaign was launched by an organization of patriotic liaisons known as the office of the French Vocabulary (OVF) and for 48 hours the OVF clamped a tight watch on the language used all across France. Called “Bad Boys” One startling result was that all mention of gangsters vanished from the newspaper crime pages, instead newspapers resorted to such 19th Century terms as “requilleurs” or even “mauvais maroons” which is simply French or “bad boys.” One of the most noticeable disappearance was the word “strippease,” pronounced streetpiz, from the amusement ads. One of the most startling was the disappearance of “pipeline,” (pronounced beepleen). It became “oleoducs” for 24 hours at least. Though a big network of OVF watchbirds-were watching, there were plenty of fumbles. In the sports pages of staid, carefully written newspapers like the conservative Figaro there was talk about “rugbymen.” The Com- the OVF program but used words like “sexy” and “stars” which the Frenchman understands perfectly well. Meanwhile in daily life business was booming at “snack bars” and “milk bars” where people ordered “sandwiches” (pronounced: sondveech) without batting an eye. However they asked for “chiens chauda’ at places that serve hot dogs. But they always have, so this was not an OVF victory. The OVF said it was not a narrow-minded organization, it said it just wants Frenchmen to respect their mother tongue which was once the international language of diplomacy — and ‘Jamour.’ ‘Pure Japanese Language’ Day Would Bring Silence to Country TOKYO (UPI) — If somebody in Tokyo decided to take a cue from the French and decree a “pure Japanese language day,” the Japanese might find themselves struck dumb. If silence didn’t reign, chaos might. For in modern times English has become the adopted second tongue of the Japanese. Words like “restoran” (restaurant), “hoteru” (hotel) and more than a thousand others have passed into common usage. The Japanese probably could get through a whole day without using a single English word, but the strain might be killing. The housewife leaving her “apato” (apartment house) to do some shopping at the “depato” (department store) might have a tough time explaining where she was going if she couldn’t use some adopted English. Her husband would have an even tougher time taking her out to dinner. “Restoran,” of course, is out. But so is the silverware—the “naifu” and “foku—and much of the menu. No “bifu-teki,” or beef-salted potatoes. with modern-day innovations. The Kanji characters have stayed pretty much the same since they were brought over from China more than 1,000 years ago, except for some simplifications.

California Tops Nation In Health Insurance NEW YORK (UPI) — California led the nation in the amount of health insurance benefits received from insurance companies in 1988, according to the Health Insurance Institute here. The institute said insurance companies paid state residents over 316 million dollars to help cover the cost of hospital and doctor bills, and to replace income lost through sickness or disability. New York state was second to California with 272 million dollars in benefits. The benefit payments to Californians represented an increase of 11.8 per cent over the 1957 figure of 282 million dollars. Know about CHRISTIAN SCIENCE?

Center St., Anaheim Saturday, April 4, 1959 Anheim (CoL) Bulletin—A-3 Chemicals Used in Detergents Given Credit Many Unusual Properties, Some Save Lives VINCENT J. BURKE Med Press International BINGTON (UPI) — A government medical researcher today that a chemical used in manufacturing household detergent has unusual properties credited with saving a life the first time the compound was used in human medication last Friday. —May prove of value in inhibiting fatigue. —May enable man to increase his tolerance to carbon dioxide, thereby enabling him to live more comfortably in submarines and sealed vehicles designed for space travel. —Offer hope of a possible new and superior treatment for acidosis. This is a condition of the blood and tissues which follows many afflictions, including cases of children who accidentally swallow too many aspirins and older persons with respiratory difficulties. Chemical "Appears Promising" The scientist is Dr. Gabriel G. Nahas, 30, chief of the respiratory section of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. He laid out the first results of his experiments in highly technical language two weeks ago. He published his findings in Science, the official journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Nahas, a French citizen who plans soon to apply for American citizenship, then discussed his findings today for the first time in layman's language in an interview with United Press International. He said his experiments have demonstrated that the chemical known as T-H-A-M in chemical shorthand—stimulates elimination from the body of toxic waste materials, including carbon dioxide and acids such as lactic acid. "It appears promising," he said, "but a lot more work must be performed before anyone can be certain it will prove of lasting and permanent value."

Rhoads, research director of the Sloan-Kettering Institute, New York, who served as their chairman, showed statistically that the rate for new cases of human leukemia had almost tripled in the last 50 years which saw first the bludgeoning of X-ray and radium irradiation and more recently the radiations arising from atomic bombs and atomic reactors. Nevertheless, leukemia still is a comparatively rare disease and the scientists didn't want to scare anybody. Rather, they were concerned lest some person who needed an X-ray so a doctor could diagnose an aliment, might refuse to let it be made. That was why the scientists had in mind was to encourage ever-lasting vigilance in people concerned with atomic reactors and bombs and in professional handlers of X-rays, and to let everyone know that this is a possible hazard of the atomic age.
