Clergymen meeting with foreign minister

Santa Claus writes to Meigs residents
u 's the year of the switch.
Santa baa grown really weary of
alwaya being on the receiving end ct
all ~ letters and this year he
decided he too, could write a few let·

ters.
Fortunately, I was able to in ·
tercept some of his c&lt;Klllllunications
and thb is what the old boy had to
say :

Mr. FennanMoore, P001eroy .

Dear Ferman ,
I really am impressed with the
way you enthusiastically decorate
your Middleport business establish·
ments every year.
Prejudiced as I am, I am quite
partial to that Santa replica making
with the playing at the pipe organ at
the N. Second Avenue location .
However , it seems to me that you
ought to persuade Armand Turley to
tape some of his great organ music
to go along with the scene . Alter all,
I really want my public to know that
1 can swing it .
Musically yours, Santa .
Mr. Ted Reed, Pomeroy .
Hi, Ted ,
You've really got it all together
with those beautiful decorations on
the exterior of your bank building .
The new additions are special and
the setting lets everyone know that
this is a pretty specUil time of the
year . Your decorations could COOl ·
pete anywhere .
Eat your heart out, Cleveland .
Decoratively yours, Santa.

Epicurely yours, Santa.
Dear Middleport Merchanb!,
I love tbe American flag that you
have on display In so many of the
store windows . 11ley tend to remind
travelers moving through your town
that they should, indeed, feel a pride
in America and should remember
tbe hostages in Iran. How long -too
long, In fact - it has been since
Americans rallied as they have
during this crisis.
I can assure you that as far as I
am concerned those Iranian students are geting nothin'for Quistmas.
Patriotically yours, Santa
CHAITING WITH SANTA -Wendy Zwilllng, daughter d. Mr. and
Mrs. Russell Zwilling and granddaughter d Mr. and Mrs. Troy Zwilling,

Santa when he arrived in front of the community Christmas Tree at the
Syracuse Municipal Park Sunday to Jl88S out treab!. provided by the
Syracuse Lact .lS AUiiliary .

Ron and Helene Zidian, Pomeroy.
Dear Ron and Helene,
I hope that soon now yoW' attractive new Pomeroy Health Care
Center opens its doors for residents .
Meigs County needs your facility
and welcomes you with open arms.
Now, of course, I can't stay with
yoo lor long at one time, but I want
you to know that I do get tired and I
need a spot like yoW11 to get
rejuvenated.
!Ught now, I'm dead tired and I
have this terrible long trip ahead of
metooight .
UntU you're open, I11 just have to
call on Dr. Ray Pickens to extract
from Fred Craw's frogs whatever it
is that frogs have to make them hop
so well . I really need some ol that,
because believe me, tonight I "gotta
hop."
But before I load up, I have just
one thing to say - and let me make
thb perfectly dear- and that is·'HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT."
Sincerely,
SANTA

Traffic accidents over the four-day Chrlsiinas weekend claimed 642 lives
considerably more than advance estimates by the National Safety Council
but short ti any record for the holiday .
The council had estimated that 450 to 550 persons would be killed between 6
p.m . Friday ani! midnight Tuesday .
During a non-holiday, four-day period at this time of the year, council
statisUcJBns flgure that 510 traffic deaths could be expected.
For much of the nation , it was a soggy Christmas. Fog, rain or thun·
de rstonns slicked highways from coast to coast du n ng the extended
weekend . And the worst Pacifi c storm in four year s swept the Far West with
wtnd , ram and snow on Christmas Eve .
Las t Christmas, a three-day observance, there were 454 deaths. The worst
four-day Christmas weekend was in 1~ when 706 persons were killed.

Some states show 'em how
By Roberl Wallel'8
WASHINGTON (NEAl - While
federal offitials maintain a fumbleand-mumbij! approach to energy
conservatilm, innovative sta te
' throughout the country
governmenCs
are impijmenting meaningful
measures !A save scarce fuels .
Despite • widely haUed change in
leadership several months ago. the
Departmelit of Energy cifers little
indication that it is ready or willing
to provide the nation with the
guidance neressa ry to de a I w1th a
permanent and profound energy
crisis.
The depertment 's most rece u
display m mcompetence and
mismanagement was the announcement by Energy Secretary Charles
W. Duncan Jr. of a . JSoline conservation plan'for 1900.
With comiderable fanfare, Duncan pegged the ceiling for gasoline
use during P,e first three months of
next year at 6.8 million barreL• per
day - exactly what DOE 's own
analysts expect m otorist.s to con·
sume in the normal course of
business without any fedf"ral restn c·
tions .

Duncan 's proposal. termed "em barrassing" by one knowledgeable
White HOWle official, actuBlly would
allow some sbltes to consume more
gasoline in the first quarter of 1980
than they did in January . February
and March r:i this year .
In contrast with DOE 's continumg
ineptitude, the Nationa l Governors'
Association has prepared an impressive compi!lltion of energy conservation initia lives bemg under·
taken by various state governmenl.s.
In Iowa, state employees who
agree to use mass transportation for
home-t&lt;Hlffice commuting rece ive

direct subsulies from the state in the
fonn of monthly passes valued at
one quarter of the l1l88S transit
cosl.s . Almost half of those participating previously were drivers ul
single-occupant autos .
In Mmnesota, the state legis!llture
has app roved an energy-disclosure
law that requires the seller ul a
home to revea l to the buyer the
results of a certified inspection of

storm

windows

and

doors,

weatherstripping and insu!lltion.
In Colorado, the Public Utility
Comrruss ion has approved a time-&lt;&gt;f·
day rate schedule for industrial
energy users, encruraging uff1&gt;f4)t
use through lower rates. A cut in
~ak -load requirements allows a
redu ctiOn in generating capacity.
The Ca lifornia legis!llture has
enaeted a law allowing a tax credit
of :&gt;:.percent, up to $3,1nl, on the cost
of newly lllStalled solar-heating
systems . Other conservation
measures are being implemented in
Mame. Connecticut, Rhode Island,
Massachusetts, New Yorlt, Illinois ,
Ohio, North Carolina, Arkansas.
New Me:uco. Montana. Oregon and
elsewhere.
On the other hand, the conservation advice given to the states by
Duncan and President Carter
gene rally has been limited to encouraging implementation of oddeven gasoline-&lt;W~le plans to cope with
short-tenn c rises .
That approach, the governors
note, is limited to management shortages rather than conserving fuel. In
addition. the governors - not the
president - deserve credit for conceiving and Implementing odd-even
sales, minunum and maximum purchases , weekend closings and other
emergency measures required during the gasoline shortfall last spring.

Business mirror
NEW YORK IAP 1 - For the ninu1
straight year, John Winthrop
Wright, the Bridgeport, Conn ,
securities savant , has delivered the
annual forecast addreSB of the New
Yorlt Society of Serurity Analysts .
ffu message this year sounded
like it was from Santa himself .
During the decade of the 19flltl the
direction wiU be up - for the
economy, for Ameri cans generally,
for stocks. for bonds , for economi c
common sense.
"We have lived through a long,
exhausting and surprising decade,"
he said, ·'but I believe that we are
now actually just about through it
it," not just chronologica lly but in
mood and actioo too.
Some of Wright's aSBumptions are
based on faith, but he feels his faith
is bolstered by evidence that old
mistakes lllat posed as economic
wisdom at'( now understood to have
been prd.,._.d errors.
Number one of these is the U.S . at titude tow&amp;id Eurodollars , or dollar
deposits 4 European and other
foreign banb, which total almost as
much as tqe domesti c dollars you
save or
every day of the week.
Eurodollars have a peculiar
origin, being created whenever a
foreign bank wishe s to rna ke a loan
denominated in dollars. Nothing
stops baliui fnm making such
loans ; but when they do. U.S. Inflation worseris.
"This has been our major cause of
difficulties" said Wright in an in-

spem

tervie w after Ius talk. Its effect IS to
add to the U.S. money supply, and an
oversupply of money automatically
means higher prices.
A:3 Wright vie"" the troubled
197!ls. the dout:iing of commodity
prices car be traced to the
prollieratioo of Eurodollars . Oil
producers sa w what was happening
and decided they too would join the
inflation race.
Instead of seeking control over the
flood of overseas dollars, Wright
maintains that Arthur Bums, then
head of the Federal Reserve Board,
tightened the domestic mooey supply and forced the fec!..-al budget into hu~e defi cits, more than $170
billion in 1975 through 1977.
This m turn forced government into c redit markets and undennined
the pnvate sector's ability to raise
capital for mvestment. Stagf!lltion
stagnatioo and inf!lltioo followed as a consequence, Wright
maintains.
Now, he feels , the United States
and ll' trading partners recognize
the necessit y of regulating those
dullll rs , as s urely as they undel'llland
the need to regulate the domestic
money . He expects regu!lltion to be
agreed upon by the majoc nations .
That isn't all we learned, accordlflj{ to Wright. In the coming
decade he expects the Federal
H•·" 'JVe Board to apply selective
CQntrols of domestic credit rather
than
use
across-the-board
techmques of the 70s .

Berry's World

Washington today
WASHINGTON (AP) -Surveying
the year's work, the leaders of a
DemocraUc Coogress have proorunced themselves skinflints, proud ul
it, and ready to offer more ul the
same during the election-year
session that begins Jan. 22.
The 96th Congress passed little
significant legislation during its first
session, which the Democrats said
was all according to plan.
''It was designed to be a cautious
Congress, not one of fonnulating
new programs,'' said Senate
Democratic lader Robert c. Byrd.
That sounds more like Republican
than Democratic doctrine, but this
was a Congress that began amid the
w rebellioo, and still is responding
to what seems a g&lt;H~low mood
among the voters. It is not likely to
change course much in 1~.
''Restraint, restructuring and
responsiveness will continue to
marl&lt; the approach of this Congress
toward the legis!lltive work of the
second session," said Rep. John
Brademas, 0-lnd . , the House
Democratic whip.
Brademas said Congress has acted conalst.enUy to restrain federal
spending. Its projected budget
defidt IX $29.8 billion would be the
lowest in Sill years. That 's not the
balanced budget President Carter
once promised by the end of hill first
term, but it does reflect a slowing in
the growth ul federal spending.
House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill
Jr. said Coogress didn't want any
major new programs but, rather, is
taking a close look at the cost and effectiveness of old ones.
·'Such fine tuning of the
machinery of govenunent Is not often glamorous worlt ," Brademas

Ohio Perspective
COLUMBUS, Ohio lAP) -

A
legislative task force created to investigate steel mill closings that will
cost 4,900 jobs in the Mahoning
Valley will hold its first hearing
Saturday in Youngstown .
The 19 representatives who make
up the panel will hear testimony
from families and union officials on
the lnnpact of U.S. Steel's decision to
close its Ohio Works Plant.
The 10 a .m . session is to be held at
the union hall of United
Steelworkers of America Local13ll,
located near the entrance to the Ohio
Worlui , task force chairman Rep . ·
Thomas J . Carney, D-Boardman,
said.
The Ohio House Steel Task Force
was named by Speaker Vernal Riffe ,
Jr . D-New Boston, to detennine
what action might be taken to assist
the stricken industrial area .
Hearings are also expected to be
Columbus . Recom held
in
mendations for legislative action art
due sometime in the spring ufl980 .
The closing of U.S . Steel's facility
will result in the loss of 3,500 jobs.
Another 1,400 steelworlter jobs will
be eliminated by the Jones and

" We decided that we didn 't went children. "

said, "but it is the only way to imure
that government remains rational
and accessible to the citizens m
whose name it operates."
There Is an ample supply of lei.
lover legislation to occupy the election-year congressional session . At
the top of the list are Carter's three
major energy proposals, all passed
by both the House and Senate, but
left for final votes in 1980.
Those are the $227 billion tax on oi l
company revenues produced by
rescinding domestic price controls :
a bill that would have the govern ment subsidize syntheti c fuel
production; and a measure creatin~
an Energy Mobilization Board that
is supposed to cut through red ta ~
and get action on energy plans .
The Senate has yet to begin debate
on the Strategic Anns Limitation
Treaty with the Soviet Union . a
disputed and divisive issue that w1 U
become more so as the presidentia I
campaign intensifies.
The HOWle has voted to overhaul
the nation's welfare system, but the
Senate has not. That bill would cost
money, and its fate in an election
year Is uncertain.
That same uncertainty appli es to
taxes. Electioo year usually seerm a
fine time to cut them, but President
Carter Is said to have decided a gaUl ·
st proposing a reduction in 1980, lest
inflation worsen.
Still, House Republican Lea der
John Rhodes of Arizona expect• to
see an election-year tax cut , and
guesses it will be at least $20 billion .
Rhodes said political concerns are
likely to override economic polic)'
He said there is likely to be an "absolutely irresistible temptati on .. to
approve something for the voters.

Sen. Harry Meshel , D-Youngstown ,
has concluded that Congress , as well
as the state LegWature, knows how
to apply the old squeeze play .
. He noted at a stae Controlling
Board meeting this week that
CongreslJ adopted an amendment
under which states must have an approved emergency and evacuation
plan by July I, 1980, or they will not
be allowed to have nuclear power
plants.
''That sounds like one of our amendments ," said Meshel, a state
budget architect who helped add
sweeping policy amendments to that
document earlier ttus year .
Veteran House Finance Chairman
Myrl H. Shoemaker, 0-Bourneville,

agreed there was a parallel lo be
drawn . ' 'It's the same mentali ty, but
on a higher plane ," he sa1d .

+++
HotL'!e Speaker Riffe says he
probably will seek re-election in 1900
instead of nmning for the U.S. House
from Ohio 's 6th Congressional
District.
For one thing , he commented this
week, " ! wouldn't want to start all
over again as a freshman . 1 al"'
don't think I would like to live 1n
Washington . "
Veteran 6th District Rep . William
H. Harsha, R.Ohio , announced las!
week he plans to retire at the end of
his current tenn in 1981.
Riffe , a close friend of the in ·
cumbent , has been regarded for
years as a likely successor, altho u ~h
not as much since he rose to the
speaker's office in 1975 .
The Ne w Boston Democrat also is
eyeing the 1982 governor's race, but
says at the moment Ius biggest concern is getting re-elected as speaker .
The Scioto County insuranceman
has been a member of the Ohio
House since 1959.

Today's Commentary
What's news from Iran?
8)' Don Graff

If anyone ever manage..~ to come
up with an exact definition of what is
news, It wiU make news .
Meanwhile, we make do with such
Jess than comprehensive efforts of
Wehst..r and others as ' 'a report of a
recent event, ' ' "new infonnation,"
'fTlatter that is interesting to ... audiences, " "a newsworthy matter,"
'Hn)· person or thing thought to
merit specia l atte ntion . "
By any of those standards, the
s ituation m Iran certainly qualifies .
And that would seem to go in spades
for the hostages inside the American
embassy .
Not. however. in the opinion of a
growing body of cri tics of how the
media is dealing with the flow of inlonna lion from Tehran. The com plamt IS that the news organizations
are teing manipulated, allowing
themselves to be used as a · fonun
for propaganda on the part of Ira nian a uthorities ... "

Gis t are the words of Rep. John
Brademas, 0 -lnd ., assistant House

and CBS had also been interested in~~ally in the prospective interview
l!ut balked, they sa id, at the terms of
the !ra man captors. which included
transrruttmg a statement of revolu·
llonary pnnClples .
Neither network, however , had
shown such reluctance on earlier occasions . Both had jomed in the
general rush for interviews with the
Ayatollah Kbomeini, a personage
unquestionably meriting special atten~on . But it was the resultant
mass e:~~:posure accorded this
errunence no1 r e of the revolution that
sugg ested there might be cause for
conce m over American news ·

and cn licism

focuses . It is by it.. very nablre super
visible in the sort ul highly vlaual
drama now being played out in
Tehran .
This w.u recognized early and
clearly by the ayatollah and company, who know haw to seize a
golden opportunity when it hu been
thrust upon them by the eompetllive
enthusiasm of American newspeople. But whether it is really doing
them any good is another matter.
The circumstances in which
American h08blges are being permitted to speak are fully apparent to
the audience back home and it Ia
doubtful that anyooe evaluates their
words in any other tenna.
Still, the selective acceso to ne.,..
events and newsworthy individuals
being practiced by the Iranian
revolutiooaries is a rnanipu!lltive
technique. And the questioo remains
whether it Is proper for the
American media - as a matter of
professional ethics and-or
patriotism - to be 8 party to it.
In seeking the answer, several
points should be coosidered. First,
all events in revolutionary Iran,
whether manipulated or not, are ul
intense interest to American au·
diences . That takes in the rantinga of
holy men turned politicians, the
delphic pronouncements of a selfcontradicting foreign miniBter and
obviously stage-managed intervif!W3
with hostages.
Second, human affairs are essenUally untidy and disorganized, particularly when they reach the
revolutionary stage . So is the free
reporting ul same. The real story of
what is happening in Iran Is not going to be wrapped up in single, certified error~ree report. It emerges
instead as a mosaic, built up in the
public comprehension from the
myriad bits and pieces of printed
and visual reportage pouring rut ul a
society at war with itself .
Some ul those bits may be rnisinforrnatioo. Some r:i the pieces may
be less infonnation than propagan·
da . Reporting them rna;r be opening
American information channels to
the manipulative uses of others.
But there is another term for not
reporting them , for deliberate selectivity in determining which bits and
pieces are to qualify as news.
It 's called managing infonnation.

Christmas, 1979. Let's hope that
among all the Star Trek and space age gadgetry the kids found under
their tinseled trees there were a few
old-fashioned bats, balls and gloves .
After all, American baseball also
was born on Christmas day - 358
years ago, shortly after the Pilgrim.'!
came over on the Mayflower .
The first Joe DiMaggio might even
have been a guy named John Alden .
Bah, humbug, you say • Every
grammar school kids knows that the
great American pastime came out of
the bead of a Civil War general
named Abner Doubleday . It was he
who conceived and played it around
Cooperstown, N.Y. There's even a
shrine up there to prove it .
One apocryphal story is that Abe
Uncoln, on his deathbed, called Gen .
Doubleday to his side and, choking
on every breath, beseeched him :
''Our country has been divided by
war and bitterness . We must do
something to bring the people
together. Invent baseball."
Now historians have learned that
the Doubleday concept Is purely a
myth. In fact , there were two Abner
Doubledays who lived in the Cooperstown area during the period
baseball was supposed to have emitted lis first tortured gasps.
Doubleday actually had a role in
developing the game as we know it,
it wasn 1 the general but a cousin also named Abner - stemrnlng from
another branch c1 the family tree.
Baseball 's true genesis is still
clouded in mystery, but no one has
traced Its roots more carefully than
the longtime author and authority,
Harry Slnunons + now an aide to
Coouni881oner Bowie Kulm.
"Baseball is a derivation of many
games played with a bat, ball and
base&amp;," said the grandfatherly
hilltorian, who earlier this month
wu honored u the King of Bueball
at the winter meetings in Toronto.
"It could be a distant cousin of
English cricket. Re8earch shows
conclusively that the game traCES
back to the days of the Pilgrims . "
Sinunons has c001e across a
yellowed, centuries~ld volume,
"History ol the Plyrnooth Plan-

tation, " written by Gov . William
Bradford of the colony that came
over on the ship Fortune and settled
in Massachusetts.
On Christmas Day, 1621 , Gov .
Bradford called the men of
Plymouth ' to work u was used."
The deeply religious Puritans
demurred, arguing it was against
their consciences to labor on the
Holy Day.
Returning to the plantation for
lunch, the governor discovered the
Puritans frolicking ''at pitching ye
barr, some at stoole ball, and suchelike sport." Angry. he broke up the

North cJ,efeats South

game.
"Stoole ball was played with a
milking stool. a crude bat and ball,"
says Slnunons. "Any number could
play . The striker (batter ) stood at
the stool to deflect the pitch. U the
giver (pitcher) hit the stool, be got a
point and P&lt;JSitions rotated. As more
players got involved, more stools
were staked out and players
progressed from stool to stool.
•'Many variatims came out of the
primitive beginning . The
Massachusetts game was called
'roundball.' In Philadelphia, it was
town ball,' and in New York, 'base
ball . •
"The game spread westward, and
then into Canada," said Slnunons.
A special cornrriisslon was set up
by A.G. Spalding in 1~ to determine the origin of baseball. It attributed the game to Gen .
Doubleday around the time of the
'101! cabin and hard cider" presidential campaign of Gen. William
Henry Harrison, but subsequent
docwnents have proved this a
fallacy.
The theory is even disputed by the
Doubleday family tree, dating back
to Ell.sha, who came to Boston fr001
England in 1676 and !!BW his descendant&amp; scatter to Connecticut and upstate New York.
When the general was supposed to
have dreamed up the game, he waa a
cadet at West Point. Credit, If any,
should bave gone to a first cousin,
Abner, son of tnysses Doubleday .
But take it !r001 Slnunms, the
I'IIgrilru did it.

CINCINNATI (AP) - Ken Griffey's knee surgery four months ago
should not affect contract
negotiations with the Cincinnati
Reds •star right fielder, according to
club president Dick Wagner.
''His knee is e1cellent. He 's well
ahead rl schedule," Wagner said.
Wagner and Tom Reich, the Pittsburgh attorney who represents
Griffey, met for 45 minutes 1aat

week.
Tile two men quickly arrived at
what Wagner termed ''a serious
negotiating P&lt;JSture" for another
long~nn deal for Griffey, whose
three-year contract expired at the
end of last seaaon.

Ta'c kle

Hen~on

expected Griffey to be difficult to
sign.
"Obviously, a long ~rm cootract
takes quite a bit more effort than a
ooe-year contract," Wagner said.
''But It 'II kind of hard to say when we
(will get back to negotiating) with
the holidays."
Griffey could not be reached for
comment on the negotiations in his
behalf.
The :.l'fear~ld Griffey is seeking
an increase above the reported

A Buckeye's trainer said Tuesday
night that Henson Is still suffering
from a stress fracture that forced
him to miss Ohio State's cl011lng 1815 victory at Michigsn.
Henson, a 6.foot~. 2$4 pound
junior from Sandusky, Ohio has been
hobbled and miMed his team's first

Health Review
By Robert G. Stockmal.
D.O., Ph.D.
Assistant Professor
of Family Medicine
Ohio University College
of Osteopathic Medicine
CHRISTMAS PLANTS
CAN BE POISONOUS
(Editor's note : Dr. lamar Miller
will be on vacation for the next
couple of weeks a nd has asked Dr .
Robert Stockmal to continue as
guest columnist dwing t.hil! period . 1
QUESTION : Is 11 true that some
decorative Christmas plants are
poisonous '
ANSWER : Yes . Mistletoe, pom·
:!ettia and holly do have a toXIc substance which is capable of making a
person feel very sick when parts of
the plant are swallowed, even in
small amounts . Although in some
cases medic science has not yet
identified the chemicals which cause
the problem, the symptoms of such
poisonings are well-l!nown .
For instance , the white berries of
mistletoe
l phorandendron
flavescens 1contain a substance that
can cause nausea , vomiting, cramping and diarrhea . Even severe high
l&gt;luod pressure may result when
enough of these bemesare eaten .
A mllky sap within the leaves,
stems and flowers of the poinsettia
le uphorl&gt;ia pulcherrima 1 often
ca uses severe vomitmg and
diarrhea if this plant is eaten. Skin
and eye irritation has l&gt;een reported
from direct contact of these l&gt;ody
areas with poinsettia sap.
The attractive red berries of the
Chnstmas holly 1ilex I may also
cause nauses , vomiting . stomach
pain and diarrhea if several are
swallowed .
Plant poisonings in genera l have
become more common m recen I
years . Some poison control centers.
in fact, report that as many as 10
percent of the calls they rece1 ve con ceo cases of · 'plant toxicity.·· Dunng
the Christmas season rrustletoe ,
poinsettia and oolly are often
swallowed by young cluldren - parbcularly under the age of 4.
QUESTION · What can parenl' do

if they think their child has eaten a
poisonous plant '
ANSWER : Call your famil y
physician or the nearest poison control center. Be prepared to give the
following information :
- The plant name (botanical, if

possible, since corrunon names are
confusing I and-or a good description
of the plant . Retrieve the remains ol
the plant including that which the
patient may have vomited . This will
help make possil&gt;le a pa!itive Identification of the plant once you reach
the doctor's office .
-Amount of the plant and specifi c
parts that were eaten .
-The length of time since the chi ld
swallowed the berries, stems or
leaves .
- Age and weight of the patient
and any history of allergies or
serious medical problems.
-Symptoms you observe and com plaints the child had made .
QUESTION : What can parents do
to prevent their children from eating
harmful plants'
ANSWER : A few simple steps
taken today may prevent trouble
tomorrow . The precautions I recommend are
- Know the dangerous plants in
your home, garden and area . Be
familiar with their botanical names
if po.'-'lible.
- Keep plants, seeds , fruits and
bulbs lal&gt;eled and safely stored away
from infants and children.
- Teach children to keep unknown
plants out of their mouths . Don l
tempt little ones by the easily accessible presence of luscious looking
harmful plants .
There are many lovely non-toxic
plants that can brighten your home.
Check with your nurseryman or
plant store aoout these when you
buy .

business and the spot may end up
looking worse than it did to start

U you want to risk it you rrught try
applying a regular dry clearun~ Ouid

to only contact the stained a rea

DEAR POLLY - When something
is dropped on the floor and attracts a
pile of ants do not try to sweep them
up - they scatter everywhere . Use a

than trying to keep them in a dust

By Helen Bottel
We Ve been married eight years.
My husband gives me everything 1
need. He's a hard worker and good
provider. I believe he loves me, but
we have a terrible communicatioo
problem.
Whenever I need to t.a11t something
over with htm or jll.!l have an adult
cooversatlon, he woo\ listen . My
oplnioo ia treated "" nothing ; he
closes me out, doesn \ answer, acts
so bored or exasperated or superior
that I'm getting a very low opinion of
m,yself.
It's leading to serious problems
when I try talkinl! to other people. I
nllh throui/1 what I'm saying to get
tt all out, and end up making a mellS
ot my sentences. 1ve actually
forgotten what I Will! talking about,
and lately I ve st.ar1ed to stutter.
You see, I feel no one ia Interested
because that's what I constantly get
at home. My self ~idence is
almol!l zero. Wb.lt can you advise '

DEAR SPEECHLESS :
Although your apparent shyness
baa euggerated the problem, you
two are basically products of ''the
system. ' 'Through the centuries men
have been forced into the ''lltrong,
silent, superior, rtdl" mold while
women were conditioned toward
lt.stentng, followln!!, giving In, hiding
their brains, serving - anything to
getandkeepa mate .
Your husband may follow his
father in feeling "woman-talk" i.!lfl \
Important. Without realizing it,
perhaps, he sees you aa there to fill
his needs but not bother him. Or
maybe he baa never learned to express himself, bec~mes embarrassed by t.allt thai my gel pel'!looal.

Whatever, he needs his cooIICiousnesa ralsed ! A good beginning
ia along, descriptive (but not totally
condemning) letter telling him how
you feel and what his close -out has
done w you. Then suggest a
counselor who can lead you both
toward talk - wilhout boredom,
reaenbnent, or fear of rebuff.
And for you : courses in assertiveness and "How to Build Self·
Esteem" would certainly help . Jn.

DEAR HELEN :
U you think men are always the
ooes who Uke w play around, let me
tell you a scorcher.

I heard of a local mate-swapping
club and wanted to jotn, which
meant my wife must join too . When I
mentioned it, she was shocked, and
furious at me . She never wanted to
hear such talk again, she said .
But two days later she indicated
she could be persuaded. Now , two
years later , she ia the glutton. She
plans and primps for these parties
and ta one of the biggest flirts there .
She even tells me in detail about the
dlftennt men she's been with . When
I suggest cutting down , she calls me
a ldlljoy.
Are wcmen more the hWllel'!l than
are males • I wooder what they 'l'e
really Uttnktng when they slave over
th ehot stove • - SWAPPED
OUT· OEARSWAPPEDOUI' :
I'll
never
tell
you !
Except to say : When a man plays
with fire and develops a sizz.Ung wife
- well, let htm stew in his own juice.
- H.
(GOT A PROBlEM ? Or a subject

or dtscuslion ? You can talk it over
n her column If you write to Helen

Ramona Britton, patient care
coordinator at the hospital, was on
duty when Darven arrived.
""He had been underwater
anywhere from 17 to 30 minutes . He
was not breathing . There was very
little heart activity," Mrs. Britton
recalled .
He had received mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation and heart massage in
the ambulance . At the hospital, doctors wrapped the boy in a heating
device that circulated 105-&lt;iegree
water around his body . His temperature started to climb.
Using a breathing apparatus.
AdrenaUn injections and electric
shocks, doctors established an
erratic heart beat. Then the boy "s
cardiopulmonary system started to
work.
Rahn said reasons behind the
resuscitation of cold-water drowning
victims such as Darven are not fully
understood. although one factor is
hypothennia . when the colder body
temperature causes the rate of
metabolism and vital functions to
slowdown .
Less oxygen then is required lor
the brain, and the body also can cut
off blood supplies to extremities
while maintaining the flow to the
brain . Until all the oxygen in the
blood i.s exhausted, the brain may
remain alive even though the lungs
have become filled with water.
Tuesday. Ramona Britton, the
hOilpital"s patient care coordinator,
said Darven was "doing real well .··
"Really , the only reason he 's
hospitalized is for physiotherapy for
nerve damage to hi.s hands, '" Mrs.
Britton said, and doctors feel the
nerve damage will respond to the
treatment.

By late Tuesday, the U.S. Coast
Guard had suspended searches for
ftve men missing at sea . The
missing included two duck hunters
who set out in a skiff on San Fran cisco Bay, a rrllll whose small boat
overturned in Tomales Bay, a
Japanese seaman who fell overboard from a freighter in Mooterey

SAN DIEGO (API - Two air
traffic control supervisors were
to blame for the near-collisioo of
two airliners over San Diego Nov .

board said the incident was the
result ol Improper coordination

TEHRAN, Iran lAP ) - Three
AmeMcan clergymen today urged
compromise in the the U.S.-Iranian
crisis, and a French archbishop said
he expected "clemency " for the
Ameri can hostages even as
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini raised
the possibility of war. The mystery
over the number of captives also
deepened.
1be Revs . William Sloane Coffin ,
Thomas Gwnblelon and William
Howard flew home today at the end
of a three-day Christmas mission
with messages from a number of the
captives to their families and a plea
for conciliation by both sides in the
:&gt;4-day -old standoff.
'1f one side gets a little more
tough it tends to make the other side
a little more tough," Coffin told
reporters before leaving Tehran . "U
one side decides to be a little more
gracious, the other. s1de has the
freedom loj, be a tittle more
gracious . "
The cler~en, who conducted
emotional Christmas Day services
for the captives at the occupied U.S.
Embassy in Tehran, left on Iran Air
night 775 via Paris and L&lt;&gt;ndon and
were scheduled to arrive in New
York at about 9p.m . EST.
During the Paris stopover, the ar chbishop of Algiers , who assisted at
the Christmas services in Tehran
with the Americans, said he found
Iranian authoMtieo and public
opiruon ·1avorable to an act of
clemency."
Though he said he had not

J

driven and apparenUy the street is "now there to
stay". F'undlng was provided by a federal grant of
$432,000 to the Village, a part of whi ch is to be used for
