Bless the Kids, Beasts—

Don't Let Them Roast

By Abigail Van Buren:

© 1080 by Universal Press Syndicate

. DEAR ABBY: Thank you for using your column laat

aummer to remind people never to leave their pets in the car
during the hot summer months. Will you please do as much
for children?

So often children are told to wait in the car while Mother
goes into an air-conditioned store for what she thought

-would take only a few minutes, but she’s delayed ‘and

doesn't get back to the car until an hour later.
Leaving youngsters in a car unattended is cruel and
thoughtlesa. . ;
As the song goea, “Bless the beasts and the children, for in
this world they have no choice, they have no voice.”
' CONCERNED IN COLUMBUS

DEAR CONCERNED: Read on for a letter from a
clergyman in Kentucky: .

DEAR ABBY: I am writing to tell you about a strange

coincidence. I quote from your column (last August) in the -

Louisville Courier-Journal:

“DEAR PET OWNERS: With summer here, please do not
take your pet along for the ride and leave it locked in the car
while you run errands and shop.

“When the temperature is 85 degrees outside, the tem-
perature inside a parked car (even with the windows slightly
open) will reach 102 degrees within 10 minutes. And in 30
minutes it will reach 120 degrees!

“The normal body temperature of a dog is approximately
102 degrees; it can withstand approximately 108 degrees for
a very short time before auffering irreparable brain damage
or death. .

“Never leave a pet in a parked car in the sun — even with
the windows open.” ;

Abby, on the same day in the same rewspaper, thia news

release appeared: “Bond was set at $10,000 each yesterday .

for an Ohio couple charged with second-degree murder after
their 2’%-month-old son apparently suffocated in a car at
Mammoth Cave National Park.”

The couple had left the infant in their car while they went
on a three-hour cave tour, The temperature outside the car

was in the 90s, and observers said the windows were left .

open about 2 inches!

Abby, now that summer is here again, please emphasize
the importance of protecting children as well as pets. Iam
gure you can put this better than I have. "

oe _ JAMES H. RUCKER, ASHLAND, KY.

DEAR MR. RUCKER: You put it well enough. The
facts speak for themselves. Thanks for a timely
reminder.

DEAR ABBY: How would you define “old age?”
BILL HERRICK IN MINNEAPOLIS

DEAR BILL: To recycle an old cliche, old agé, like
beauty, lies in the mind of the beholder. But I would
gay that you've reached it when:

You need your glasses to find your glasses.
"You walk into another room and wonder what you
went there for.

People start telling you you're looking good, but no
one says you're good-looking. . . ;

You pags up a romantic encounter because you're
worried about your heart.

You think today’s policemen look like kids.

Getting married? Whether you want a formal
church wedding or a simple, ‘do-your-own-thing”’
ceremony, get Abby's new booklet. Send $1 plus a
long, self-addressed, stamped (28 centa) envelope to:
