. Today's Cryptequip clue: X equals I
The Cryptoquip is a simple substitution cipher in which each
letter used stands for another. If you think that X equals O; it

‘will equal O throughout the puzzle. Single letters, short words,

and words using an apostrophe can give you clues to locating
vowels, Solution is accomplished by trial and error.

Dear Abby...

DEAR ABBY: You told COULD BE there is no such
thing as a “frigid-dear"—only clumsy men. This is true in
too many cases, But, Abby, please note that this should be
aconclusion reached only after other possibilities are ruled
out. ‘ ‘

Perhaps the man is not clumsy. Perhaps the woman had

- anearly or recent trauma that handicaps her. Perhaps she
has a personality problem, a-neurosis or a psychosis that
prevents her from responding to an ideal husband.

If the husband is ideal and you unload your statement on
him, then you have injured him as surely as you would

have with a knife.
. SHRINK, ASHVILLE, N.C.
DEAR SHRINK: Generalizations are dangerous and

. unfair J admit, but my mail tells me that only men found |

fault with this generalization. Women wrote in great
numbers to applaud my reply. For exemple:

DEAR ABBY: Your answer to COULD BE was short
‘but truly soul-satisfying. “No ‘frigid-dear’—only. clumsy
men.
L have preached that for years, and at 95 plus, which I
am now, Lam more certain that itis a fact than I was at 26.
We gals have been shortchanged from the beginning,
and males haven't yet realized {t—and probably never will,
Your column made my day, and I’ve been reading you for a

long, long time.
LILLIAN IN LEVERETT, MASS.

DEAR ABBY: Will you please tell me how come all the
people who know how to run the country are busy driving
taxicabs and cutting hair?

. CURIOUS

DEAR CURIOUS: Give thanks that all the people who
‘CLAIM to know how to run the country are driving

taxicabs and cutting hair—and NOT running the country.
DEAR ABBY: I'm writing in reference to SHOCKED, .

whose soon-to-be-married daughter informed her family
‘that they should please telephone before coming over.

You said it “sounded unfriendly,” but it wasn’t
necessarily so. Thanks for that answer. My hiisband and I
had to tell our families flat out to please phone and to stop
ringing our doorbell because they happened to be in the
neighborhood,

Several times we were right in the middle of lovemaking
when our families dropped in on us unexpectedly. Needless
to say, it was embarrassing for all of us. We would much
rather have been interrupted by the telephone {and we
ihave been) than by the doorbell. ;

DEAR BEEN: There's no reason to be interrupted by
the telephone, either. Take the phone of the hook until it’s
convenient for YOU to answer. If someone calls and your
line is busy, they'll call again. =~ ,

~ DEAR ABBY: Ihave been trying to teach my children,.
ages 4 and 6, NEVER to accept any kind of gift from a

stranger.

My problem is that many times when we are on a bus, or -

shopping in some public place,
will admire my children and offer

even money!

some well-meaning person
them candy,-gum and

Thate tohurt their feelings, but, Abby, it makes it 80

hard for mothers to train children NOT to accept anything

from strangers when strangers keep offering them gocdies -

and money.
- Can you please say something to help our cause?
. _ ONE MOTHER

DEAR MOTHER: Fil try. Perhaps it hasn't occurred to
all you generoug, well-meaning people who “love children”
and can’t resist offering them goodies or money, that this
is the technique used by child molesters who hope te gain a
child's confidence in order to get him to “go for a ride” or
“not tell” after Improper advances have been made.

So If you love chifdren, please don't offer them candy,
money or gifts of any kind.

‘DEAR ABBY: One of the girls I work with Is constantly -

taling about her sex life with her husband. (She's not @
young kid, either.) Some of us are bored and others are

embarrassed by her daily morning reports of what went on

in her bedroom, but no one has the nerve to -tell her.
We know she reads your column, so if you can't think of
a better solution, how about running this blotter?
THE OFFICE GANG

DEAR GANG: If no one has the courage to speak up,
you all deserve to be bored or embarraseed. I'll run your
letter, not as a “solution” to your problem, but as a.
reminder that the meek are d. stined to put up with a lot.
