Dear Abb y_
by Abigail Van Buren
Mental Barriers Make
“Invalids” of Us All
DEAR ABBY This letter is written in response to the
woman whose son was planning to marry a paraplegic. 1 am
a rehabilitation counselor, working solely with spinal cord
injured persons I was distressed, but not surprised, that the
woman referred to her future daughter in-law as an
invalid.”
Her ignorance concerning the limitations of persons with
spinal cord injuries is all too common. This lack of
understanding can be a far greater hardship to a person
with such an impairment than the impairment itself.
1 here is no way to undo generations of misinformation in
one letter, but I will try The easiest way is simply to list
some of the things a paraplegic (one with lower body
paralysis) can do, with proper equipment and or assistance
Work, play, marry, divorce, love, be loved, have sex,
become a parent, raise children, keep house, drive a vehicle,
shop, attend school, church and engage in sports I could fill
your column with more, but 1 think you get the general idea
Of course, each situation is different, depending on the
extent of injury, motivation, environmental barriers,
attitudinal barriers and other factors But then we re all
different, aren't we? Some of us able-bodied people do very
little with our lives while others accomplish a great deal
The same applies to persons with physical disabilities
What we can all do is make sure that we never prevent
another human being from living as full and rewarding a
life as he is capable of Let’s not be barriers ourselves
JOE BUTLER, BATESVILLE ARK
DEAR JOE: Right on!
DEAR ABBY I am a 15-year-old girl I know lots of boys
as friends but have never had a real boyfriend To be
perfectly truthful about it, I have liked several boys a lot.
and one in particular was on my mind night and day He
never paid any attention to me so I just went on dreaming
about him, but nothing ever came of it.
Now for my problem There is a rumor going around
school that I got pregnant and had an abortion last
summer Abby, it is a lie I never even had the chance to get
pregnant, so I don't know where this rumor got started How
can I prove this is not true? I need your help
LIED ABOUT
DEAR LIED ABOUT: Trying to prove that a rumor
is not true is like trying to put toothpaste back into
the tube. Just behave in a manner that will make
those who spread those rumors look like liars.
DEAR ABBY My husband and 1 attended a wedding
reception a month ago The bride is the daughter of friends
The affair was elegant They had 200 guests for a sit-down
dinner and dance at the finest hotel
My question Is a wedding considered a social obligation
— or a thing apart’
We entertained the parents of the bride at a dinner party
two months before the wedding, but we aren 't sure if we now
owe them, or if they should make the next move socially.
Please advise
NOT SURE
DEAR NOT: Since the parents of the bride were
your guests last at a dinner party, they now owe you a
similar invitation. Even though their daughter’s
wedding was elegant, it cannot be considered repay-
ment for your dinner party.
CONFIDENTIAL TO J.H.: To those who would give
advice, the best advice 1 know is, if you can’t he kind
— be quiet.

“...But You Must Act
Immediately!”
By Esther Peterson
It used to be that buying a home
was the best hedge against infla
tion — that no matter what hap-
pened there would al w ays be “the
house." That is still true, but the
cost of real estate and high inter-
est rates puts home buying out of
reach for many consumers So the
ones with a little money to invest
(usually from $1,000 to $50,000)
are looking desperately for other
ways to keep their savings from
eroding more then they already
have.
No wonder thousands of con
sumers, wary of spiraling
inflation and the state of the econ
omy, are victimized by unscrupu-
lous persons who prey upon their
hopes and fears Often they are
smooth and fast talkers who use
sophisticated jargon such as
“equity.” “broker’s fees," and
limited risk forward accounts" to
lend respectability to sales
pitches. And there's always an air
of urgency to the sales pitch,
whether it is in the form of shiny
promotional material filled with
exclamation marks or a telephone
call demanding quick action
1 am talking about a new and
rising tide of fraud in the field of
off-exchange commodity invest
ments.
The Commodity Futures Trad-
ing Commission (CFTC), the Fed
eral government agency which has
jurisdiction over most commodity
transactions, including futures
contracts (dealing in silver, gold,
oil, and Swiss francs, to name a
few), is so concerned about the
problem that it has asked me to
help spread the word about invest-
ment frauds in the commodities
field
Here is a typical example of
w hat is happening all over the na
tion, and CFTC says things are
going to get a lot worse
Late last year a man who lives in
the Midwest received a telephone
call from a woman who said she
represented a firm dealing in sil-
ver. a popular commodity at the
time After a most persuasive
sales talk, the man decided to buy
$1,800 worth of silver The contract
was $17.50 per ounce for 1.000
ounces of silver and would expire
February 15, 1980. On that day the
man called the firm and was told
he had $19,600 coming to him but
that the person who could
authorize payment was sick and
would return the call the next day
After many calls — and no
response — he wrote to the FBI.
detailing his grievances in the
meantime he was told the phone
was out of order and finally
disconnected. Now the firm is in
bankruptcy, the man has lost his
money and stands a good chance of
never seeing it again
To keep this or something like it
from happening to you, CFTC
warns anyone who is eager for a
chance to cash in on quick profits
in the commodity market to gel
the facts before investing
Before committing your money
to a contract on any commodity,
understand what you are getting
into, what risks are involved, and,
most important, what you stand
to loss As CFTC points out, the
chance for large, quick profits is
usually accompanied by a very
high risk.
Here are some other points
CFTC wants you to consider be-
fore you invest.
• Be especially suspicious of
any unsolicited, long-distance
calls you may get from a salesper-
son you don't know representing
some company you have never
heard of. (Some are legitimate,
others are not.) CFTC can tell you
if a firm or an employee of the firm
is registered with the Commission
or if there are any prior or pending
legal actions against the firm or
the individual. CFTC cannot,
however, make any recommends
tions or vouch for the firm’s or in
dividual’s reliability.
• Develop a "prove-it-to-me”
attitude, and resist any pressure
to make hurried, uninformed deci
sions
• Ask a lot of questions, such as
where the seller got your name
and if the company is currently
registered with CFTC or any oth-
er regulatory agency Also ask
what your total cost will be and
how much is taken out in commis-
sions. fees, discounts and other
charges. Most of all, ask w hat you
have to lose. (A legitimate com-
modities broker will give you a
risk disclosure statement.)

Make and effort
to get refunds
STILLWATER
When
refunds are due, you take the
time or make the effort to get
them.
In these days of continuing
inflation and recession, people
throw away thousands of
dollars each year by neglecting
to get refunds due them, said
Mrs. Dorothy G. Blackwell,
Extension home management
specialist at Oklahoma State
University
She explained that refunds
due include money back or
replacement of unsatisfactory
products as well as refunds for
services paid for but never
received or rendered
inadequately.
She said, "Many people never
complain even about products
fully covered by a warranty.
Many consumers feel writing a
letter or making a telephone
call is too much bother But
consumers must exercise the
rights they have fought for.”
Mrs. Blackwell said, "A
person doing the same type job
as I do had a refund due because
a connecting flight from a
major city to a small town had
been cancelled due to weather
conditions
“The passesngers were
eventually transported by bus
