Massage parlor patron not there for backrub By Abigail Van Buren © 1977 by The Chicago Tribune-N.Y.News Synd. Inc. DEAR ABBY: In reply to HURT WIFE, who asked, “What makes a happily married, religious man go to a place like a massage parlor?” you replied: “Curiosity. Lust. An v itch for variety. The fear of missing something. Wanting to be ‘one of the boys.’ Being too chicken to refuse when one of his pals suggested it. Temporary insanity.” Abby, did it ever occur to you that maybe he just wanted a massage! ARTHUR DEAR ARTHUR: It’s possible. But if YOU had been writing this column for more than 20 years, Til bet that’s the LAST answer you’d have come up with. DEAR ABBY: I may be old-fashioned, but I can’t see teaching sixth and seventh graders sex in the schoolroom. They are a long way from needing that kind of information. Why rush them? If you start putting ideas about sex into their heads, first thing you know, they’ll start experimenting. No wonder we have so many unmarried mothers among teenagers. I read in your column that venereal disease is now an epidemic in this country. What can be done to stop all this sex education, Abby? CONCERNED IN ILLINOIS DEAR CONCERNED: If there really WERE all the sex education you claim there is, we’d have LESS teenage pregnancy and V.D.—not more. No one has to put “ideas” about sex into the heads of children. It’s there already. Sexual feelings and curiosity about sex are natural and normal in all children. And so is experimenting. Ideally, parents should provide their children with a proper sex education, but surveys show that most of them do not, so some schools provide it. Unfortunately, the only states that have laws requiring sex education in the schools are Hawaii, Kentucky, Michigan, Maryland, Missouri and North Dakota. (Louisiana expressly forbids it.) The old saying, “What you don’t know can’t hurt you” is not true. On the contrary—it CAN hurt you. And it’s hurting all of us. DEAR ABBY: Why do people place so much importance on manners? From the time kids learn to walk and talk, adults hassle them about manners and being polite. I don’t see what good it does to stand up when an older person or a lady comes into the room. And there are dozens of other rules that come under the heading of “manners” that make no sense at all. Maybe you can explain it to me. DONT GET IT DEAR DONT: To answer your question, no one said it better than the late and great Amy Vanderbilt: “Good manners are the traffic rules for society in general. Without good manners, living would be chaotic, human beings unbearable to each other. Reduced to a phrase, good manners is consideration of other people in respect to their feelings, their safety, their privacy and their full social rights and privileges.” For Abby’s booklet, “How to Have a Lovely Wedding,” send SI to Abigail Van Buren, 132 Lasky Dr., Beverly Hills, Calif. 90212.

MEYER Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Pres ident Carter is proposing rules that cut four years off the nor mal time the government may keep most top secrets but sug gests agencies can make em ployes sign promises to stay mum while the secrets are un der wraps. In a draft of an executive or der obtained by The Associated Press, the President suggests a standard secrecy agreement be developed for all agencies that want employes to sign them “as a precondition of access to classified information and ma terial.” Under present rules, the gov ernment can keep its top secrets for 10 years without a special extension. Some agencies now use secrecy agreements. But only a few, including the CIA, require them from prospective employes before they are hired. The Supreme Court said two years ago that such secrecy agreements give the CIA the right to censor the writings of former employes. Because of the agreements, the court rejected First Amend ment freedom-of-the-press claims by Victor Marchetti and John D. Marks, who said they should be permitted to publish “The CIA and the Cult of In telligence,” a critical account of the agency, without prior censorship. The censorship resulted in a number of deletions. Carter, who has pledged an open administration, asked his staff last June to review the government’s entire secrecy system. The executive-order draft resulted. In a first for such orders, the draft will be sent this month to agencies, Sheriff addresses women Sheriff Dwayne Gilbert was the guest speaker at the Sep tember meeting of the Griffin Junior Woman’s Club held at the Holiday Inn. Gilbert informed club members of sheriff’s department duties and discussed plans for renovating the existing county jail. The club’s Lunch With Santa was planned for Dec. 2 and 3. It will be held at the First Methodist Church. The club voted to send a donation to the Kidney Foun dation in response to their fund drive. congressional committees and interested non-government groups for their comment. Then the National Security Council and Carter’s domestic affairs staff will decide on the final form to present to Carter for his signature. With Carter’s signature, the order will replace secrecy rules set by former President Richard M. Nixon in 1972. Asked about the Carter draft, Gary Barron, a member of the National Security Council staff who helped write it, said the se crecy agreements were “a thing the lawyers did. ... The whole idea was to have some thing uniform. This thing was not put in there to enjoin any publications. That was not the intent.” Barron called the six-year limit on classification in all designations, including top se cret, “the most effective part” of the executive order. The draft places a six-year limit on secret classifications as well. Presently, the normal limit on classifications in that category is eight years. The draft maintains the present six year limit on confidential clas sifications. But it lets anyone with top secret classification authority grant extensions in all cate gories for up to 20 years. After review at that time, the exten sions could be renewed for up to 10 years at a time. Barron conceded this could keep information classified in definitely. But he said making lower-authority classifiers seek out top-secret classifiers for ex tensions would mean fewer ex tensions. r I r- i 1 f She has four years to get ready for college. So do you.
