Js there some witty or catchy phrase I can throw out to let them know that [ am available? . Also, my folks are taking me to Hawaii over the Christmas holidays, and I'd like to lose about 30 pounds in amonth. I'd sure like to look cute for the trip, so please hurry your answer: Sign me... PUDGY DEAR PUDGY: One problem at a time, starting with the one that's probably responsible for the others. You can lose weight by going on ao serious diet under a doctor's supervision, but don't expect to shed 30 pounda in 30 days. It took you longer than that to pile it on. Boys treat you like their mothers because you probably remind them of THEIRS. When you look more like a girl they want to date, they'll realize that you are “available,” and you won't need a catchy phrase with which to catch’ them. DEAR ABBY: I am a registered nurse who has worked for a competent physician for 15 years, Every hour at least one person calls and says, “I have a virus; Ask the doctor if I cari run in on my Sunch hour for a shot.” Abby, what this country needs is a sidewalk booth operated on the same principle asa cigarette machine. The patient could deposit a coin, stick his arm in a slot, select _ his own medication and get a shot, © People keep asking, “Whatever happed to the good old-fashioned family doctor who made house calls?” Well, I'd like to know whatever happened to the good old-fashioned trusting patient who let the doctor diagnose the case and prescribe the treatment? . SANTA MONICA DEAR SANTA: The old-fashioned family doctor was succeeded by a new breed who found he could practice more effectively in his office or in a hospital. And the “old-fashioned patient” has yielded to a generation mostly zovered by medical insurance —with a tendency to overuse “piedical care. . DEAR ABBY: I am one of those people who eat like a horse and never put on a pound. Most of my friends tell me I'm too thin, and someone is always giving me a remedy that will fatten me up. [have tried everything, but I can’t seem to gain. . I've had people I hardly know walk up to me, stretch _efe@ir fingers around my waist, and say, “Gee, you're ‘skinny!"” They'd never walk up to a fat person and say, “Gee, you're fatl” {have been hurt so many times by these rude remarks. Will you please give me a good snappy comeback that will put them in their places? * DEAR TOO THIN: Silence is often the most effective response lo a rude remark. But do see a doctor, dear, He may enjoy "fattening sumeone up"—for a change. TOO THIN jumpers tops TORONTO (CP) — The Canadian equestrian teim won the In- ternational Nations Cup in a jumpoff Sunday against the United States at the Royal Horse Show. Canada and the U.S. were the only countries to complete the regulation two rounds without committing a single fault, forcing a tie-breaker in which the fastest com- bined time would have been the deciding factor had the teams ended in yet another deadlock on points. But having set a blistering pace, the Canadians were under control with three clean jumpoff rides to two for the U.S. before the last U.S. rider, Buddy Brown on Sandsablaze, knocked a » Canadian down a fence in his at- . tempt to pull his team ahead of the Canadians’ time. For Canada, it was the first Prix des Nation victory here in six years. The U.S. has won this event four times in the last five years. But the key to the Canadian win was a magnificent pressure ride by veteran Jim Elder of Aurora, Ont., aboard Scotch Valley, forcing the final U.S. rider to take the chances that eventually caused Sandsablaze to knock down a fence and give Canada the Cup. Britain and West ‘Germany both com- mitted eight faults in their two regulation rounds and finished tied for third place. HAD CLEAN ROUNDS On the way to the jumpaff, , John Simpson of Cochrane, Alta., ‘with Texas, lan Millar of Perth, Ont., aboard Brother Sam, and Terry Leibel of Toronto, riding Merchant of Venice, had two clean rounds. In a Nations Cup only the top three scores among a fourmember team count. As a result, Canada moved into second place in the nations point standings. The U.S. leads with 71, followed by Canada with 33, Britain with 23 and West Germany with 22, The U.S won both events on Saturday's program. In the In- ternational Fault. and Out, Bernie Traurig's took the winners’ plate with Fair Warning after scoring 32 points in 61.1 seconds. In the Fault and Out, a rider collects dints for successive ences jumped in a set time, Team-mate Brown won the International Scurry . Stakes during the af- ternoon, Brown, of South Salem, N.Y., guided Viscount around the course in 47.6 seconds, ahead of second- place Lutz. Merkel of West -Germany, aboard Golden Gate, in 50.1. BRITAIN COMES SECOND Tim Grubb of Britain _ was second in the Fault and Out with 32 points but in a slower time with Inchcape Chicargo while’ third place went to West German Willibert Mehlkopf with 30 points on Fantast. Canadian riders were all but shut out Saturday, gaining one point in -the two events when Leibel finished sixth aboard Merchant Of Venice in the Fault-and Out. However, the Canadian team met between the two events in the $10,000 East-West Challenge Cup, which was won by the Eastern team after a jumpoff. Torchy -Miliar of Milton, Ont., who suf- fered a broken wrist during a fall Friday night, withdrew from the Canadian team: However, the = in- _ ternational jury decided Saturday to allow Canada to substitute Elder for Millar after receiving the approval of allcompeting - . tea os ms.
