In 1952, the Castle- gar Bridge Committee raised $270 through donations for the span. At the time, the Castle News adopted an ad- dition to its banner, reading “The Fer- ry-Land That Needs A Bridge.” Now showing at the Castle Theatre, Tomahawk: The Glory Story of the Great Sioux Uprising.

Pets death warns us of overlooked danger DEAR ABBY: Lam writing in the hope that my letter will serve as a warning to pet owners, as well as arents of young children, about a Eaeard of which my husband and I were unaware until our personal tragedy. . We had a collie mix, “Lady,” who was in great health and very playful. She was very special to us. About a month ago, my husband came home from work to find Lady dead on our kitchen floor! I had left an empty breakfast cereal box in a paper sack near the back door, intending to take it outside to the garbage the next morning. While I slept, Lady found the ce- real box, stuck her nose in it, and your beloved pet. It may a t you to know that Lady did not die in vain; her misfortune gives me the opportunity to alert oth- ers to the potential hazard of discarded cereal boxes. ee DEAR ABBY: I am one of those peoplé who thought your frequent advice to get counseling was a cop- out, but now that I am in recovery for bulimia, I hold a new Pp. for Advice counseling. I thought I was going in for some medical miracle that would cure me. I, r Baas DEAR ABBY: I have been wid- owed for nine years and am blessed with many friends — mostly women, r group had told me that suffocated from the plastic liner bag, kad in which was ip d her nose! Neither of us realized the poten- tial danger of the cereal box. We thought the linings were still made of wax paper-type material and glued tightly to the inside of the box. Ap- parently we were mistaken. The bag was made of a plastic material and not attached to the box at all. Abby, this could pose a serious threat toother pets or youngchildren. We kept our cereal boxes on a low, unlocked shelf. We have since moved them out of reach, and I would urge others to do the same, and to keep empty cereal boxes and any plastic away from the reach of young chil- dren and pets. Our loss was devastating, and we still feel the pain. My husband and I would greatly appreciate it if you would print this letter to warn oth- ers of this household hazard. IRENE AND CLIFF SMITH, LARAMIE, W¥O. ‘DEARMR. AND MRS. SMITH: My condolences on the loss of herapy. If; my disease had psychological roots, I never would have sought help. I was one of those people who thought counseling was admitting to being a failure. God works in mysterious ways. Bulimia — an abnormal, constant craving for food —isn’t always what gets people into it, but it ugh three very nice gentlemen are available to escort me when an escort is needed, with no strings at- tached. I met a gentleman about a year ago at a church social, and we have been dating. He is neat in appear- ance, polite and very generous. He is about my age, and a rather recent widower. My problem ‘iis that he is not with a kiss at the door — was my cue. My life is not perfect b I igh lit but I have a new outlook. I am getting out of my abusive marriage and seeking support groups. Abby, I wish everyone could get counseling when they need it, with- out the stigma so many people at- tach to it. IN RECOVERY IN VIRGINIA DEAR IN RECOVERY: Hooray for you. And. thanks for those kind words in defense of my frequent advice to get counsel- ing. And lest oe think Mere getting counseling is easy — it’s not; it requires a good hard look he has roaming hands, and makes me feel like I owe him something in repayment for the money he has spent on me. I was content with my life before Imet him. At my age — 70 —I donot need this kind of hassle wh he hands, who keeps reminding you that he is lonely and would be miserable without youin hislife, is playing on your sy hy. DEAR QUESTION: Yes. Say, “We would be delighted to have you visit us for a week” or for Turn a deaf ear, my dear. Don’t give him any more than you want to and don’t worry about “hurt- ing” him. I have a feeling he can take care of himself. ee DEAR ABBY: It is 4 a.m. and I can’t sleep, sol got up to write to you. Tread in the newspaper that a 21- year-old junior at the University of Florida in Gainesville drank himself to death by rapidly downing 23 shots of liquor on a dare from friends. What a nightmare! Although he was a stranger to me, I ache for his family. Of course, it was a foolish thing for the young man to have done, but I wonder if those “friends” who dared him were ever punished. Perhaps if you print this, it will prevent others from being a party to such a tragic happening. Thank you for being there, Abby. I had to unload on someone. ARIZONA GRANDMOTHER DEAR GRANDMOTHER: That’s what set here for. [share takes me home. I have been tempted to tell him off and send him away, but he keeps telling me over and over that he is extremely lonely and would be miserable without me in his life. How should I handle this? I don’t want to hurt him. * NO NAME OR CITY, PLEASE DEAR NO NAME: The gener- ous 1 with r i your n. a reader will write and tell us as, Paul Harvey says, “the rest of the story.” ee DEAR ABBY: Is there some way to invite friends from out of town to come visit and stay with us, and at thesame time diplomatically suggest how long they are welcome to stay? DELICATE QUESTION two ks, or however long you want them to stay. see DEAR ABBY: Being a twin, maybe you can’help me with this problem. My twin daughters are al- most 4 years old. Every year for Christmas my husband’s sister has given the twins a single gift for them to share. This wouldn’t be a problem if it were a gift that could be enjoyed by both children at the same time, be- cause I’ve had no difficulty teaching them to share. However, this year, they sent a single stuffed animal! Are twins supposed to take turns holding it while they go to sleep? We are trying very hard to raise our daughters as individuals and want our relatives to treat them as such. Please print this to remind people that twins are not a single unit; they are individuals who just happen to be born at the same time. FRUSTRATED MOTHER fi OF TWINS DEAR FRUSTRATED: On be- half of all the twins who have lived the twin-gift experience, thank you for a valuable letter. I offer another suggestion: Do not buy twins identical gifts in an effort to be evenhanded. If one of the twins loses a doll or a mitten, it’s good to know whose is missing.
