Lost Legacy From Mother

DEAR ABBY: Regarding the let-
ter from the widower who contem-
plated keeping one of his wife’s
rings to give to a “Miss Perfect”
should he meet her:
My parents were divorced when
I was 2 years old. I was reared by
my father and my aunt.
Mother died of cancer at the age
of 48. I had lunch with several of
her friends before the funeral, and
they told me that Mom wanted me
to have her pearl earrings. The fact
that she had thought of me was
overwhelming in my time of grief. I
spoke to my stepfather about the
earrings, and he said; “No one
touches her jewelry! You can’t have
them!”
When my older brother sent
some photographs of my stepfather
and his new bride, I noticed she was
wearing Mother’s earrings. No one
could have put a price on how much
those earrings would have meant to
me. I was...

Think abortion's okay? Lifescope says, "If this
child had been aborted, world would be damned!"
Continued from yesterday. The birth of Jesus Christ happened like this.
When Mary was engaged to Joseph, before their marriage, she was dis-
covered to be pregnant - by the Holy Spirit. Whereupon Joseph, her future
husband, who was a good man and did not want to see her disgraced, plan-
ned to break off the engagement quietly. But while he was turning the mat-
ter over in his mind an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and
said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife!
What she has conceived is conceived through the Holy Spirit, and she will
give birth to a son, whom you will call Jesus ('the Saviour’) for it is He
who will save His people from their sins."
All this happened to fulfil what the Lord had said through the prophet -
"Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and
they shall call His name Immanuel. ("Immanuel" means "God with us ")
When Joseph woke up he did what the angel had told him. He married
Mary, but had no intercourse with her until she had given birth to a
son. Then he gave Him the name Jesus.
In those days it occurred that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus
that the whole Roman Empire should be registered. This was the first en-
rollment and it was made when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all
the people were going to be registered, each to his own city or town.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee from the town of Nazareth to
Judea, to the town of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of
the house and family of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his espoused
(married) wife, who was about to become a mother.
And while they were there, the time came for her delivery. And she gave
birth to her Son, her first-born, and she wrapped Him in swaddling
clothes, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room or place for
them in the inn.
Foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have lodging places; but the
Son of man has nowhere to lay His head.
And in that vicinity there were shepherds living (out under the open sky)
in the field, watching (in shifts) over their flock by night. To be continued.
DEAR DR GOTT: I suffer from

ly members with the same condition

nosed with vestibular neuronitis. 1
also suffer from glaucoma and can't
take anti histamines. At 88 I now have
trouble walking straight and lose my
balance frequently. Do I have to put
up with this condition or is there help?
DEAR READER: There may be
help for you in the form of the pre
scription anti histamine Antivert,
which — in low doses — should not
appreciably affect your glaucoma. Ask
your ophthalmologist about this.
Also, remember that the drug sco-
palamine (available in a patch by pre-
scription) is an excellent antidote for
motion sickness; you might consider
this option for airplane flights, sea
voyages, or lengthy automobile rides.
Again, obtain approval for this —
and any other prescription or over
the-counter drugs — from your oph
thalmologist.

Melted putty puts pressure on Mom
By Anne B. Adams and
Nancy Nash-Cummings
DEAR ANNE AND NAN: My
daughter left pink Silly Putty on her
bedspread and it melted into the cot
ton fabric, which was in the sun. I've
tried everything to wash it out and
bleach was unsuccessful. Can you
offer any suggestions’ — LEANNE
MCQUADE, Doylestown, Pa.
DEAR LEANNE: The method we
recommend to clean up Silly Putty is
to rub the item with ice cubes until
the particles fall off. Loosen the
remaining putty by soaking in white
vinegar or rub with egg white before
washing
We suspect it’s too late to try this,
so our next recommendation is to use
Goo-Gone, a concentrated citrus prod-
uct that can take gum out of carpeting
and, hopefully. Silly Putty out of a bed

ware and grocery stores.
