Whistling pro has tale of disappearing art
DEAR ABBY: I am a professional whistler
and bird caller. Whenever people ask what I
do for a living, my reply is
often met with the question,
“What is that?” About the best
I can respond with is,
“Someone who whistles.”
My art is not at the height of
its popularity, as it was in the
early part of the last century.
Whistlers are no longer fea
tured with big bands as they
once were; the late, great whistler Fred
Lowery no longer headlines at Carnegie Hall
or whistles the national anthem at Yankee
Stadium; Elmo Tanner is not whistling
“Heartaches” with Perry Como and the Ted
Weems orchestra; and Muzzy Marcellino isn’t
whistling the sweet and plaintive theme song
to “Lassie” that we all remember.
Abby, it’s hard to deal with the fact that
the art of whistling has become so far
removed from the public. Could you kindly
print my letter as a reminder to your readers
that whistling is a beautiful art form with a
rich heritage in America and elsewhere? (No
name, please. This one’s for the art.)
THE WHISTLER, JENKS, OKLA.
DEAR WHISTLER: I’m pleased to do so.
It’s the truth. And I’m not whistling “Dixie.
DEAR ABBY: I read the letter from
“Lifeguarding Mom” who had a “close call”
with a near-drowning accident she will never
forget.
My child had a close call I will never for
get, either. He also survived, but he is NOT
fine. Media coverage is extensive with drown
ing accidents, but you do not always hear the
follow-up stories of the results of the acci
dent. Many people hear that a child survived

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(August 19). Practical plans
and far-fetched dreams have an
equal shot at being reached, so
be big and bold without think
ing of limits. A sincere spiritu
al search marks the next three
weeks. A job hunt you begin in
will be successful. You gain
knowledge through the arts in
January. Love brings a big
change in December. A Pisces
believes in you. Your lucky
numbers are: 28, 19, 34, 2 and
10.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
A day of relaxation is good for
your body and soul. Physical
fitness requires that you allow
your body to rest, too. You may
feel indecisive regarding a
number of topics. Luckily, you
will still know where to go
next.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Today’s filled with sensational
social vibes. Attend civic meet
ings, especially activities that
affect your children. If you’ve
been utilizing the past week to
do some emotional healing, the
past can truly be put behind
you. Seek closure tonight.

do not realize is that many children go home
Abigail
Van Buren
only did his life change, but so did many
other lives as well. These past years have
been an unending emotional roller-coaster
ride.
I would not wish this on anyone.
Do not think this cannot happen to you. I
have spoken to many parents of children who
have survived a near-drowning experience.
Their stories are not all the same. The com
mon link is small children and a water source.
It takes only 2 inches of water for a child to
drown. It happens in buckets, fountains, toi
lets, pools, canals, streams, lakes, etc. And it
often happens when the adults are distracted
for any of a thousand reasons.
Most parents have temporarily lost track of
a child at one time or another, especially if
there is more than one child. Most of the time
the child is safe.
Os course, drowning is not the only danger
from which we need to shield our children.
Accidents will happen, but if you are careful
this may not happen to you.
ONE PHOENIX SURVIVOR
DEAR SURVIVOR: Your letter is a chilling
reminder to parents of small children. I hope
they will take heed.
And now I have a question: Parents, where
is your child right now?
Under the stars ’ gaze
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
You have fun with those you
love, so ignore their short
comings and think about the
future, but make no promises
and sign nothing. Don’t pass
up the chance to extend a
helping hand you’re the
one who gains the most from
it!
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
I A lot of changes you make to
your schedule are actually
lucky. Keep watching, and
you’ll see why. Those you call
may not be in, and those who
come to meet you may be late.
Don’t try to control the flow.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Concerns about stability at
home or the well-being of fam
ily members may be imagi
nary. Wait and be sure before
making hasty decisions. A
bank error may be discovered,
or repairs may be called for.
Don’t go into a panic.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept 22).
Go ahead and let romantic
notions fill your head. Design
original plans, or build or cook
something from scratch. Long
talks with loved ones are lucky,
especially with a youngster.
Have fun tonight, but save
some energy for tomorrow.
LIBRA (Sept 23-OcL 23).
Your intuition is hot. You may
not even know why you say the
things you’re saying and do the
things you’re doing, but it
doesn’t matter. When you lis
ten to your inner voice, you
can never go wrong. Keep an
eye on an untrustworthy per
son.
with severe disabilities.
My child survived a
near-drowning accident 13
years ago.
He cannot walk or talk.
He is fed using a tube in
his stomach, needs oxy
gen, has seizures daily and
requires 24-hour care. In
less than five minutes not
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
If you are confused by logic,
trust your intuition. Love is a
roller coaster of emotion. What
you do for others will be long
remembered. Sweet dreams are
waiting, so get extra rest. You
may want to update your cal
endar.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). Follow through with
projects, get organized, and
take a chance on a new kind of
love. One who shows posses
sive tendencies should be treat
ed with kindness, even as you
hang on tight to your freedom.
Let go slowly, but surely.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Love is a sweet adventure
if you have the guts to dive in.
A financial problem is cleared
away, so don’t even worry
about it. Enjoy work duties, if
it’s possible not taking it too
seriously should be your goal
for the rest of the week!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You’re an attentive listener
to a good friend, and it’s much
appreciated. An enthusiastic
sales pitch is sincere; nonethe
less, give it a few days before
signing paperwork. Prevent ill
ness by getting plenty of rest
and laughs.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Don’t make promises unless
you’re sure you want to keep
them, since even casual com
mitments can take on a life of
their own now. Your artistic
side makes an appearance dur
ing this afternoon’s meeting.
Do something different this
afternoon.
