Frost-bitten beets
By Polly Fisher
DEAR POLLY — After I pickled my red beets, someone
told me that they would be poisonous if they were even a
little frostbitten before I picked them. My beets may have
been subjected to a little frost and some of them may have
been showing above ground Should I throw them away? —
AGNES
DEAR AGNES — I don't know where this notion came
from, but don't worry about it. Your beets should be perfect-
ly safe to eat so long as you pickled and processed them
according to the directions in a reliable guide on home cann-
ing. Being touched by frost in the garden will not harm
beets. Their quality may suffer if they undergo a hard
freeze, but light frost will not generally damage them — and
it will NOT make them poisonous. After all, an excellent :
way to preserve beets is to freeze them. — POLLY

Best Cure for Depression:
Talk Yourself Out of It
By Abigail Van Buren
• 1983 by Universal Press Syndicate
DEAR ABBY: A few weeks ago I felt very depressed
and decided I’d had enough of this world, so I took 20
aspirin and washed them down with three regular-size
glasses of wine-straight.
My question is: How should this have affected a 5-foot-3,
104-pound, 15-year-old girl on an empty stomach?
I got up the next morning and went to church with an
awful headache. I told a few of my friends what I had
done and they said I was lucky I didn’t wind up in the
hospital.
Things look a lot better now and I ana glad I didn’t
really kill myself. Am I lucky, or just average?
MY SIGN IS LEO
DEAR POLLY — Whenever 1 see a recipe that I would
like to keep, it’s on the back of a coupon in the newspaper or
on the back of a good story in a magazine Since my friends
and I share all our magazines, we copy our recipes on note-
book paper and put them in looseleaf notebooks. We divide
the rec.pes according to categories using subject separators,
and label them appetizers, soups and salads, main dishes,
casseroles, desserts, kiddie specials, etc.
When you want to use a recipe, remove the sheet of paper
from the notebook and fasten it to your refrigerator or some
other metal surface with a magnet. It will stay clean and out
of the way and will be easy to read. You can also use a book
such as this as a bridal-shower gift or as a gift to any very
special person. It s nice, since they can also add their own
recipes to it. — JUDY

WINDOW
By ARNOLD SAWISLAK
WASHINGTON (UPI) - A
year ago, it might have seemed
to Democrats that just about
anyone could retire President
Reagan in 1984. Today, they
may be wondering if anyone
can beat ci..
In November, 1982, unemploy-
ment had climbed past 10
percent, the economy was still
in the doldrums and the
Israelis, this country’s main
client in the Middle East, were
occupying Beirut after invading
Lebanon ostensibly to drive the
PLO away from their border.
This year, unemployment is
down, the economy is up and
U.S. troops are in Beirut. That
last might be considered a
political minus for Reagan
except that the polls showed
that the country rallied solidly
behind the president after more
than 239 marines died in the
attack on their headquarters
last month.

DEAR DR LAMB - I am
a 58-year-old woman, am 5
foot 3 and weigh 138 pounds
I would like your opinion
regarding cholesterol I've
been under a doctor’s care
for the past four years and
am taking 500 mg. of Atro-
mid twice a day My choles-
terol was 355, and on treat-
ment it dropped to 207 Then
my doctor told me to take
only one Atromid a day
Now it’s up to 294, so it's
back to two Atromid a day.
My diet consists mainly of
fish, white meat, fruit and
vegetables
I have been doing a lot of
walking lately. I've heard
that walking is good for bat-
tling cholesterol. 1 have no
other health problems.
DEAR READER - Walk-
ing or any exercises that
help to use calories are use-
ful in eliminating body fat;
that helps to lower your
cholesterol. By gradually
increasing your level of
activity, it's possible to low-
er cholesterol, or at least to
increase HDL-Cholesterol.
Cholesterol determina-
tions can vary in some indi-
viduals. That is why we
often ask for three determi-
nations before deciding what
the real problem is. Young,
healthy people under stress
during final exams, for
example, often will have a
rise in their cholesterol
Your diet is fine. Howev-
er, you must limit calories
to the point that you are able
to eliminate or prevent the
development of body fat
Atromid has been used for
years to lower cholesterol.
There are other medications
that might be favored now
Your doctor may want to
consider giving probucol
(Lorelco). Recent studies
show that combinations of
probucol* and colestipol
hydrochloride (Colestid) are
very effective in lowering
cholesterol levels in some
people.
Niacin in large doses is
popular with some physi-
cians The dose should be
increased gradually to be
effective without causing
serious side effects I don't
think anyone should take
large doses of niacin without
being under a physician's
supervision.
You may be confused by
the different terms used for
cholesterol, triglycerides
and the different fractions of
cholesterol (HDL and LDL),
so I am sending you The
Health Letter 15-2, Under-
standing Your Cholesterol.
Triglycerides and Other
Blood Fats. Others who want
this issue can send 75 cents
with a long, stamped, self-
addressed envelope for it to
me. in care of this newspa-
per. P.O Box 1551, Radio
City Station, New York, NY
10019.
DEAR DR LAMB - lam
19 and haven’t had a physi-
cal examination since I was
6 or 7. Am I foolish to feel
scared that I might get
aroused from our doctor (a
man) testing for breast can-
cer or whatever else he has
to touch?
I’m very shy when it
comes to seeing or touching
my body and it scares me.
What is involved in such an
examination?
DEAR READER - A
male doctor will or should
have a female attendant
present for your examina-
tion The professional
atmosphere probably will
keep you from having any
problems.
He should check your
breasts and show you how to
check yourself The extent of
his examination of other
organs will depend a lot on
your history If he is a consi-
derate physician it should
not cause a problem and you
will wonder afterward why
you were so frightened.

Today is Thursday, Dec. 29,
the 363rd day of 1983 with two
to follow.
The moon is moving toward
its new phase.
The morning stars are Venus,
Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
The evening star is Mercury.
Those born on this date are

They include industrialist

British statesman William
Gladstone, in 1809; chellist
Pablo Casals, in 1876; actress
Mary Tyler Moore, in 1937, and
actor Jon Voight, in 1938.
On this date in history:

Legal Record
Filed this week in district
court:
Furthermore, the polls also
show Reagan got a surge of
support from the public after
he went on television to give his
reasons for sending troops into
Grenada, and there is every
reason to believe that he also
will benefit from his recent trip
to Japan and Korea.
There are, however, still
some small dark clouds threat-
ening the sunny days in
Reagan’s political weather fore-
cast.
The federal deficit, for one.
Some respected economists,
including experts who have
supported Reagan policies in
the past, say the recovery that
the president has been so
proudly proclaiming in recent
months will be choked off by
the high interest rates that will
result from the government’s
overwhelming presence in the
credit market to finance the
deficit. That could happen
quickly, perhaps even by mid-
year — mid-election year, that
is.
Another potential problem is
the arms race. Reagan says he
will put Cruise and Pershing II
missiles into place in Europe if
there is no arms limitation
agreement between the United
States and the Soviet Union.
The Soviets have hinted that
they will be deploying some
new missiles of their own,
perhaps within range of the
United States, if the Cruise and
Pershing II goes on line.
If those threats and counter-
threats were poker players’
bluffs, it begins to look very
much as if the hands of both
sides are going to be called.
And if that leads to no more
than another increase in the
level of nuclear tension, it could
be a political problem for the
president in 1984,
Still, far fewer knotty politi-
cal problems face Reagan
going into the ca5paign than
seemed likely a year ago. The
Social Security crisis, for
example, was politically neu-
tralized early in 1983 when a
bipartisan commission came up
with stop gap financing that
both Republicans and Demo-
crats publicly endorsed.
There is some talk of trying
the same commission approach
to the deficit problem. Such an
arrangement might work to get
the budget situation under
control, but if it does, it can
only serve to take another issue
away from whatever democrat
draws the straw to run against
Reagan next November.
DEAR LEO: You are lucky you are still alive since
you didn’t really want to end your life. And you’re
average to feel depressed occasionally. (Everybody
does, to some extent.)
The best way to handle a depression so severe
that one questions whether life is worth living is to
talk to someone about your feelings. If you can’t
talk openly to your parents, talk to a teacher, your
school counselor, your clergyman or call a suicide
prevention hotline. There are trained people there
who will listen to you and advise you. And if these
self-destructive thoughts creep into your mind
often, get into a regular counseling program.
Life is worth living; witness the number of people
with severe physical disabilities who fight a daily
battle just to stay alive.
DEAR ABBY: This is for “Stuck in New Jersey,” who
got stuck for $664 when 16 invited guests who had
accepted her RSVP invitation to a catered wedding
reception didn’t show up. (The caterers charged $41.50 per
plate.)
“Stuck” could have instructed the caterers to pack up
the 16 dinners to take home and put in her freezer.
Why not? They belonged to her. She paid for them.
FAIR IS FAIR
DEAR FAIR: Why not, indeed? Thanks for a
valuable suggestion.
DEAR ABBY: I learned something I want to share with
as many people as possible because it was such a terrific
eye-opener for us. My husband (age 44) recently had
surgery that saved his life but left him impotent. Thank
God we already had a lovely family, but the news that he
would be rendered impotent following the surgery de-
pressed him terribly. We both assumed that his impotence
would mean the end of our sex lives We were wrong!
His doctor suggested that we enroll in the human
sexuality program offered by the medical college of our
local university. We did, and a whole new world we didn’t
even know existed opened up to us!
Some very competent therapists introduced us to an
amazing variety of options to achieve sexual satisfaction.
We were both inhibited at first, but we overcame all that
in a few sessions, and now we are enjoying a sex life that
is even more fulfilling than we had before his surgery.
I hope you can use this in your column, Abby. There
must be a lot of people out there who can be helped by
this knowledge. Thanks.

ON FEDERAL PHONES
RICHLAND, Wash. (UPI) -
Twenty-nine people who made
$12,000 worth of personal calls
on federal telephones will repay
the government.
U.S. District Court Judge
Justin Quackenbush said
Monday there were "serious
legal questions as to the nature
of the offenses” but accepted
the negotiated guilty pleas.
If they had gone to trial, the
29 could have faced $10,000
fines and 10 years in jail. But if
they repay the government for
the calls — plus the wages paid
while making those calls — and
complete a year’s probation,
the charges will be dismissed,
Quackenbush ruled.
The case involved employees
of the U.S. Energy Department,
UNC Nuclear Industries, Rock-
well-Hanford, Westingthouse-
Hanford, Kaeser Engineers and
Battelle Northwest. The phone
bills ranged from $500 to $1,000.
