Love triangle rotting
at the base
By Abigail Van Buren
©1977 by The Chicago Tribune-N.Y News Synd Inc.
DEAR ABBY: For three years, I’ve been involved in a
very painful love triangle. The man I love says he loves
both me and the other woman.
I know the other woman. We finally got together and
compared notes and found out that he had been lying to
both of us!
Here’s the unbelievable part: Knowing that he’s a
no-good liar who has been using both of us, I just can’t say
goodby to him and make it stick. The other woman feels
the same way about him. He has us under some kind of
spell.
Abby, why would a woman who knows a man is no good
and will only hurt her keep going back for more? What
kind of fool am I?
Sign me . . .
WEAK
DEAR WEAK: You obviously have a neurotic need to
punish yourself. (You either enjoy pain in a perverse sort
of way, or you think you deserve it.) The fact that you’ve
written to me shows that you’re tired of leading with your
chin. Get into therapy and find out why you set yourself up
repeatedly for that kind of punishment. And when you do,
you’ll know what kind of fool you were.
DEAR ABBY: My mother-in-law keeps bringing her
friends over for a guided tour of her son’s new house. I
wouldn’t mind so much, but she never gives me any
warning, and it’s embarrassing when I haven’t had time to
tidy up the place.
And while I’m complaining about my mother-in-law, she
always refers to our children as "my son’s children.” And
she calls this house, “my son’s house.” Everything is her
son’s ... as though he had no wife.
Even though I’m sure this won’t make your column, it’s
such a relief to get it off my chest.
Thanks, Abby. I had to tell somebody. I’d never
complain to my husband because he’s a sweet guy who’s
had to put up with his mother a lot longer than I have;
OFF MY CHEST IN CHELSEA
DEAR OFF: You’re wise to get it off your chest without
putting it on your husband's shoulders. My mail tells me
that few things irritate husbands more than a wife who
complains about his mother.
DEAR ABBY: May I say a word for the medical
secretaries who are ready to scream? Crowded waiting
rooms are no fun for anybody, especially if you’re sick and
can’t find a place to sit.
Waiting rooms are always crowded because people who
have appointments insist on bringing their children for the
“ride,” or their friends, cousins—-you name it—for
"company.”
Children get restless and cranky. They cry and run all
over the office. Then when Mommie sees the doctor the
kids are left unattended, and I have to watch them and
pick up the mess when they leave. Sometimes Daddy or
Grandma comes along to keep an eye on the children, but if
they can watch them here, why not at home?
Please, Abby, remind people that there is just so much
spade in a doctor's (or dentist’s) office, and if patients must
have company, to limit it to just one person.
MEDICAL SECRETARY
DEAR SECRETARY: Consider it done.
For Abby’s new booklet, “What Teen-agers Want to
Know,” send SI to Abigail Van Buren, 132 Lasky Dr.,
Beverly Hills, Calif. 90212. Please enclose a long,
self-addressed, stamped (244) envelope.

Trouble is ...
Public records can be hard to find
By DONALD M. ROTHBERG
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - Just
how public is a public record? It
can depend on whether or not
any member of the public can
find it.
Take the case of the records
of overseas travel by members
of the House of Representa
tives. Any congressman can tell
you that the records of his
overseas travel are open to
scrutiny by any member of the
public with the persistence and
instincts of a bloodhound.
Records for the current peri
od are on file with the House
Administration Committee in
one of the less obvious rooms in
the Capitol.
To find it, walk through an
archway and ignore a sign that
says, “Members and Staff
Only.” Thai climb the narrow,
metal spiral staircase to an up
per floor of the Capitol in the
oldest part of the building.
That brings you to a doorway
behind which can be found the
records for 1975 and 1976. To get
the figures for any earlier year,
requires going to the committee
that authorized the trip.
How the records are kept
varies from one committee to
another.
The House Merchant Marine
and Fisheries Committee has
shipped records of overseas
travel by its members to a
government warehouse. Two
days after a request for the
records concerning one com
mittee member, there had been
no response.
If you’re planning to move
from New York to California
and you want to take your beach
with you, here’s some advice
from Dean Rusk: It’s cheaper
to ship sand across country by
air than by rail.
That bit of intelligence some
how relates to the Panama Ca
nal.
Rusk and another former sec
retary of state, Henry A. Kis
singer, appeared before the
House International Relations
Committee to testify in support
This is no time
to be just another number!
You might need a prescription in the middle of the night.
Or to have one delivered.
Or to charge one.
Or emergency information
from your own personal and complete prescription record.

of the proposed Panama Canal
treaty.
During his testimony, Rusk
tried to counter arguments that
the Panamanians might shut
down the canal during some fu
ture dispute with the United
States.
According to Rusk, the reali
ties of international trade were
such that the Panamanians
would more likely be anxious to
improve the canal and make it
more competitive.
Rusk said he recently talked
to the director of an American
Griffin Tech offers
marketing and sales
Marketing and sales is one of
the new programs offered at
Griffin Tech this fall. This
program is a major addition to
the business education
program being offered at the
school.
David Kaylor, the marketing
instructor, expects a pupil
teacher ratio of 20-1. This will
enhance the maximum learning
experience for the students.
This program will be taught
on an individual basis, allowing
the student to advance at his
own pace. It is also hoped that
students will be able to obtain
practical work experience by
seeking off-campus em
ployment in a related field.
Studies by the U.S. Department
of Labor indicate that
marketing is one of the fastest
growing areas of new em
ployment emerging for people
interested in a business career.
The program will emphasize
the marketing of goods and
services and will enalble the
student to experience various
degrees of marketing skills.
These skills will consist of
public speaking, salesmanship,
bookkeeping practices and
contract negotiation. The
courses to be taught for this 12
months program are math,
railroad who told him that the
increasing operating costs
made it cheaper to ship sand
from New York to the west
coast by air than by train.
When it was Kissinger’s turn
to testify he looked at Rusk and
asked, “Why would anyone
want to ship sand from New
York to California?”
Senate Minority Leader How
ard H. Baker, R-Tenn., isn’t
ready to take a stand for or
against the Panama Canal
treaty. As a result, Baker has
taken some rhetorical heat
economics, communications
skills, sales, supervision, ad
vertising and business law and
ethics.
Applications are now being
accepted for classes to begin

Three Griffinites have been
named to the dean’s list at

James M. Eidson, Douglas W.

all of Griffin, accumulated at
least a 3.0 grade point average
during the quarter.

Airman Robert W. Walker,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry S.
Walker of 112 Southside drive,
Griffin, has been selected

from Republican opponents of
the pact, such as Sen. Jesse
Helms of North Carolina.
But Baker refuses to budge.
When asked why he was hesi
tant to commit himself, Baker
cited the time he delivered his
first summation at the close of a
trial.
Baker was practicing law
with his father and after the
trial he asked how he had done.
Replied the senior Baker: “Al
ways guard against speaking
more clearly than you think.”
