Talkative woman
ties her tonge
By Abigail Van Buren
© 1976 by Chicago Tribune N. Y News Synd Inc
DEAR ARBY: I am a 73-year old woman. I’m well
educated and have been active and gregarious all my life.
Lately I ve noticed that people have been avoiding me.
Yesterday my eldest son took me aside and said,
Mother, I don t want to hurt your feelings, but you talk
too much.”
Abby, I was so hurt, I wanted to die. It came as such a
shock to me. I didn t realize that I had been talking more
than usual, but apparently I had been. Now I am so self
conscious and inhibited. I hesitate to open my mouth in
company. I was much happier when I talked too much and
wasn’t aware of it.
If there is a happy medium, how does one find it?
TALKS TOO MUCH
DEAR TALKS: Start by resolving to talk only when
you have something of consequence to say. Then resolve
never to interrupt anyone. And don’t be hurt, dear. Your
son did you a kindness.
DEAR ABBY: Who wrote: "Any woman who will accept
attention from a married man—no matter how lonely,
misunderstood, henpecked, mistreated, neglected or un
happy he claims to be—is stupid, cruel, cheap, dishonest
and shortsighted"?
HELENE
DEAR HELENE: 1 did.
DEAR ABBY: My sister, who is divorced, recently took a
full-time job. She has an 8-year-old daughter. Cissy. She
refuses to get a babysitter for Cissy, saying the child is old
enough to take care of herself for the three hours after
school until my sister gets home.
I am really worried about my niece. She is a quiet child
and l am concerned about the responsibility this thrusts on
her right after losing her father (a year ago). My mother
has threatened to report the situation to the child services
department in our town.
Sis thinks we’re being silly and says she can’t afford a
sitter even if she felt one was needed. Mother and I both
work, so we can’t volunteer our services.
I don t want a family fight, but I feel the welfare of the
child is at stake. What should we do?
CONCERNED
DEAR CONCERNED: I agree. An 8-year-old is too
young to be “on her own" for three hours, five days a week.
If your sister can’t find a friendly neighbor to whom Cissy
can report after school, a sitter seems the only alternative.
If your sister doesn’t agree, and you report her to the
child services department, don’t prepare for a “family
fight,” but for a full-scale family war.
Everyone has a problem. What’s yours? For a personal
reply, write to ABBY: Box No. 69700, L.A., Calif. 90069.
Enclose stamped, self-addressed envelope, please.

Education programs and

by eliminating duplication and
overlapping programs and
services.
DST
He also introduced a bill to
shorten the period for Daylight
Savings Time (DST). The bill
would terminate DST on Labor
Day rather than the later part of
October.
EXCESS SPENDING
Acting against excess federal
spending, Flynt proposed an
amendment to the U.S.
Constitution that would prohibit
the government from exceeding
its revenues with expendures
during any fiscal year except in
time of war or economic
emergency declared by
Congress.
SMALL BUSINESS
Included in his package of
proposed legislation is a bill to
amend the Occupational Safety
and Health Act. According to
Flynt, the bill would provide
that no penalty would be
assessed against a business
when violations are corrected
within the prescribed
abatement period.
In a separate bill Flynt called
for the Secretary of Labor to
take into consideration and give
appropriate recognition to the
distinct differences between
the light residential
construction industry and the
heavy construction industry.
He explained that light
residential construction refers
to all construction activities
carried on with respect to
residential structures of three
stories or less which do not have
an elevator.
The bill calls for standards
made applicable to the light
residential construction
industry to reflect less
hazardous working conditions.
FIREARMS
Flynt also introduced a bill to
amend the United States Code
so as to penalize the use of
firearms in the commission of a
felony and called for an
increase in penalities in certain
related existing provisions.
BUREAUCRACY ,
Calling for improvement in
agency rule making, Flynt
introduced a bill to reduce the
power of the expanding •
bureaucracy. The legislation
would amend the United States
Code in order to create
procedures for Congressional *
review of agency rules. The bill
would permit either house of
Congress to disapprove certain .
rules proposed by executive
agencies.
