(AP) i 0 — ’S . X .> TDea/c - T-Z’ Christinas tree marks day dad left By Abigail Van Buren €) 1977 by The Chicago Tribune-N.Y.News Synd. Inc. DEAR ABBY: A reader wrote in asking what you thought of people who still had their Christmas tree up in May. He suggested that perhaps the men in the white coats carrying butterfly nets should be called. I’m glad you didn’t join in and ridicule the people whose tree was still up because ours has been up longer than theirs. My husband disappeared on December 22nd, 1975, and no one has heard a word from him since. He helped me put up our Christmas tree on the 20th of December, and our kids (now 6,9 and 10) keep begging me not to take the tree down “until Daddy comes home.” It's still up. My hopes are fading, but you know how kids are—they never give up, God bless them. ALL CRIED OUT DEAR CRIED: If prayers will help, be assured you have mine. DEAR ABBY: Seeing that you answer everything from A to Z, I was wondering if you’d stop at “D” for dogs. I have a problem with mine. He’s an 8-month-old shepherd—a terrific dog, but I can’t seem to housebreak him. He is not dumb, but I can’t seem to get the idea across to him that he has to wait until someone lets him out. Abby, I have read dog books and followed every suggestion in the book, from rubbing his nose in the mess to spanking him within an inch of his life, but nothing has worked for me. I hope you’ll print this because there must be away to housebreak a dog that works, even though it’s not in a book. DESPAIRING DEAR DESPAIRING: My canine consultant suggests that you establish a “routine” by walking your dog at set times of the day. If he does what he’s supposed to do where he’s supposed to do it, reward him with a treat. And if he messes in the house, scold him in a harsh tone and “show” him why you are displeased. He’ll catch on. DEAR ABBY: Thank you for trying to educate the public concerning the handicapped. My wife and I are both deaf and mute (please, not “deaf and dumb”) and we use sign language to communicate with each other. The reaction of some uninformed people we encounter in places of business would astonish you. I’d like to repeat a very old, but true story to make my point. One afternoon two fine Boston gentlemen were hanging onto the straps of a trolly. Below them were seated two deaf-mutes, conversing in sign language. One of the straphangers whispered to his friend, “I’m curious about something,” whereupon he took a note pad and pencil from his pocket and wrote, “CAN YOU WRITE?” Then he handed it to one of the deaf-mutes, who, after studying it carefully, slowly drew from his pocket an elegant, expensive fountain pen, emerald in color and trimmed in gold. Then, with a grand flourish, he penned a few words on the note pad and handed it back to the standing gentlemen. Imagine their chagrin when they read in exquisite penmanship: “CAN YOU READ?” AXEL WINTERLANE DEAR AXEL: Beautiful!
