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.

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.

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 October 4, 1977. Griffinites make list Three Griffinites have been named to the dean’s list at Georgia Tech for the summer quarter. James M.

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.” It's the lifigESt hb the BEST I its BOND. And B-E-YO-N-D.
