—Dear Abby_
by Abigail Van Buren
Accuses Doctor
Of Galpractice
DEAR ABBY: My boss has a problem that is affecting me.
He is a womanizer. He is married (for the second time) and is
unfaithful to his wife. He insisted on his wife's having a child
to keep her home. She was a nurse, and loved her work. (He
is a doctor.)
I have heard telephone conversations my boss has had
with his lady friends, and some of them even come to the of
fice. Do I shut my eyes to all this? If 1 quit my job, I will need
an explanation to my boss and his wife since I am friendly
with both. She is a lot younger than he is and has confided in
me that she married him for his money. She laughs at
Textbooks get scrutiny
More wood
stoves are
"rumors." Do I laugh it off, too?
IN THE MIDDLE
DEAR IN: 1 think it would be better for all concerned if
you quit your job. You know too much about your boss's
private life to maintain a proper business relationship with
him. And you know too much about the boss's wife to be
working for her husband. You don't have to explain why
you're quitting. Just say you decided to make a change.
Then make it.
DEAR ABBY: I ve got a problem I have lived with for
about as long as I care to. 1 am a 21 year old male who is con
sidered good looking by many people, but I have a problem
that is really giving me a bad complex.
You see, when I was about 13 or 14 I started to develop
breasts like a girl's. Not really big, but big enough so that I
was constantly aware of it and very much embarrassed. All
through high school I was ashamed and tried to hide it the
best I could I wouldn't even tell my parents about it
Well, I finally went to a doctor when I was 18. He’s an old
man who probably isn't up on all the new treatments. Hi-
said it looked like 1 had a hormone imbalance, but he couldn't
help me. I pointed out that 1 had practically no facial hair
and wondered if that couldn’t be a related problem. All he
said was, “If you feel like a man, then live like one
I’ve got to find out what's wrong with me. Abby. Please
tell me where to go.
GOOD LOOKING FREAK
DEAR GOOD-LOOKING: I don't know what kind of doe
tor you went to, but you should see an endocrinologist. ( on
tact your county or state medical society and ask them lor a
recommendation, and good luck. I'm sure you can be helped.

‘If I didn’t work, I’d go crazy’
Neither rain nor sleet - nor handicaps
BINGER, Okla (NEA) - It
took Charles Klingman
almost 20 years to get the job
he always wanted And he had
to overcome some big obsta-
cles along the way
Klingman admits that the
job he waited so long to get is
usually pretty routine
He sorts and delivers mail
to rural customers who live
within an 8- to 10-mile radius
of his Oklahoma hometown of
Binger Every working day he
drives more than 100 miles
making 188 stops for 225
families
The rural route averages
117 letters, 30 parcels and 205
newspapers and magazines a
day But that number is
swelled at the end of the year
by Christmas packages, greet-
ing cards and income-tax
forms
Otherwise, the mail rarely
gets more unusual than ship-
ments of baby chickens or sets
of encyclopedias
Despite having to do the
same old thing every day.
Klingman says he doesn’t get
tired of his job And he is so
faithful at it that his custom
ers can almost set their clocks
by his schedule
Klingman s quest for a post-
al position began back in 1945.
when the chief carpenter s
mate wrote on his Navy sepa-
ration papers that rural mail
carrier was his first choice of
civilian jobs
But the post office wasn’t
hiring And an old rule that
carriers had to get their mail
at the same place they
worked made it a long time
between openings
Thus, opportunity was slim
for newcomers
Klingman, who had a wife
and baby son to support, took
a job as a lineman for an elec-
tric cooperative, still waiting
for a chance to apply for the
postal job
Then an accident almost
dashed his hopes forever
Working in April 1950 with
a crew remodeling power
lines, he came in contact with
a 7,100-volt wire that was
believed to have been shut off
He lost his left arm above the
elbow, his left leg above the
knee and part of his jawbone
But he didn't lose his spirit.
His jaw was rebuilt by plas-
tic surgery using flesh from
his chest Then skin from his
leg was used to help his chest
heal
In less than a year, he went
back to the electric coopera
tive in a wheelchair to work
behind a desk as a cost
accountant
CHARLES KLINGMAN sorts mail for the 225 families
along his postal route in rural Oklahoma. Klingman, who
lost an arm and a leg in an accident 30 years ago, was
voted one of the nation's outstanding handicapped postal
flowers, either It’s respect
“Charlie has a strong will
about him He doesn’t need
the assistance to do things
that most people would new
two arms and two legs to do
Many people with disabili-
ties as severe as Klingman’s
opt for early retirement.
But. he explains, "If I didn't
work. I'd go crazy.
"I can't just sit around the
house That period of time
when I was recuperating got
to be pretty boring."
Klinger says that he still
enjoys his job but that "last
winter got a little rough with
the ice and snow and mud."
"Rural mail boxes are far-
ther apart than they used to
be, he notes “Not as many
people live on the farms
anymore
'There used to be a mail
box every half mile or so.
Now sometimes it's a couple
of miles or more."
What does he do when he is
not working?
Dominoes is the closest
thing to a hobby that Kling-
man has
Klingman adds that he gets
depressed only when doesn't
stay busy. So, he has accumu-
lated more than 100 days of
sick leave at his six-day, 650-
mile-a-week job
(NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN 1
Edward Jenkinson of the
NOTE says he believes “the
problem wouldn’t exist if we
weren’t living in hard times
People are dissatisfied with a
lot of things ... They feel pow-
erless to fight big government,
so they start sniping at our
schools.’’
Mrs. Page also notes that
school boards are easily acces-
sible: "They can reach us. They
see me in the grocery store, in
the beauty parlor. They can get
my telephone number from the
directory.’’
concern
By LOUISE COOK
Associated Press Writer
The increased popularity of
wood-burning stoves as a
source of winter heat has
brought increased concern
about fire safety.
Experts say the stoves them-
selves generally are not dan-
gerous, but improper in-
stallation and carelessness are
causing problems.
“Wood heaters require much
more human attention and hu-
mans always have and always
will make mistakes," writes
Jay W. Shelton, author of
“Wood Heat Safety,” a recently
published book. “If you expect
wood heating to be as simple
and safe as an occasional ad-
justment of a thermostat, then
stick to electricity, gas or oil.”
If you are willing to take a few
precautions, Shelton says,
“beating with wood probably
involves no more risk than do
many other accepted choices
and activities in life, such as
living in a region with polluted
air...”
Sales of wood-burning stoves
have soared along with prices of
conventional fuels. From 1972
— the year before the Arab oil
embargo — to 1979, sales in-
creased almost tenfold.
There are no national figures
on the number of fires relating
to wood-burning stoves. But the
Insurance Information In-
stitute, a trade association,
says local statistics show the
problem is growing.
Select a stove made of a stur-
dy material like cast iron or
steel. Look for stoves listed by
Underwriters' Laboratories or
other recognized testing serv-
ices. If you are buying a used
stove, check for cracks or other
defects.
Think carefully about where
you want to install the stove.
Avoid putting it too close to a
stairwell; you could wind up
losing most of the heat to the
floor above.
Leave plenty of space be-
tween the stove and any com-
bustible wall or ceiling surface.

POLLY’S PROBL EM
DEAR POLLY — Because of the extremely hard
water id our city there is sediment in the bottom of our
tea kettle. Washing with soap and water does not com-
pletely remove it. What do you recommend"’ — PAUL
DEAR PAUL — Try boiling two teaspoons of cream
of tartar in a quart of water for a few minutes and then
rinse thoroughly A few clean pebbles could be added to
help break up any buildup I clean my enamel tea kettle
by boiling a mixture of white vinegar and water in it
and then scrubbing away any sediment with a soap-
filled steel wool pad. — POLLY
DEAR POLLY - I no longer buy a separate blusher so as
to have matching lipstick and blusher instead I put a few dots
of my lipstick on my cheek bones, dip my finger in face cream
and use it to distribute the lipstick with easy strokes Use a
facial tissue to remove any excess and finish the blending and
find you have very satisfactory makeup for pennies instead of
dollars. - MADELINE
DEAR POLLY — My Pet Peeve was "Test on an inconspi-
cuous spot” There never seemed to be an inconspicuous spot"
But I have learned your lesson When I make anything I save
small pieces, knit little swatches or whatever of the same
material and keep these in an envelope On the outside is a
description of the articles they match It would certainly be
great if manufacturers would do the same for us - TERESE
DEAR POLLY — I am answering the reader who has trou-
ble with beans turning black when they are cooked in her iron
pot When I was a small girl (1 am now 82) my mother bought
a rusty, dirty iron pot at a farm sale She scoured it as best as
she could, then she saved potato peelings and boiled them in
the pot
This was done several times and then she fried salt pork in
the pot, rubbed the grease all over the inside and put it in the
oven to season She could then cook beans in it She said soap
should never be used on iron cooking utensils - MRS A O R
