She Won’t Stand
For Seat-Savers

By Abigail Van Buren

© 1978 by Chicago Tribune-N.Y, News Syad. Inc.

DEAR ABBY: The practice of “saving seats” needs some
guidelings much like the guidelines for tipping. J] recently at-
tended a graduation exercise where two people arrived
early and “saved” 20 seats in the front row for the rest of the
family who arrived one minute before the activities started!

At least 500 people walked down to the front row during
that time, thinking those seats were available. .

Because no guidelines exist with regard to this practice,
all persons honored the “Sorry, these seats are taken,” ex-
planation.

May I suggest a rule? One person may save ONE SEAT
ONLY in publie places,

Because this situation occurs frequently, your comments
would be greatly appreciated.

‘ ; NO SEATS IN LINCOLN, NEB.

DEAR SEATS: Your suggestion makes a lot of sense. But
atrend has to start somewhere; I'm willing. How about you?
Readers! .

DEAR ABBY: I am married to a very affectionate man.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining: I'm lucky, but I
think there's a time and place for everything. My prablem is
that Henry will pinch me on the behind, or make a grab for
me in front of the kids, and it makes me very uncomfortable.

I don't mind being patted and pawed when Henry and I
are alone, but I get embarrassed when he does it in front of
the kids. When I tell him how I feel about this, he says it’s
good for the kids to see this kind of thing at home, and it's
nothing to be ashamed of.

I agree, kids should witness love and affection between
parents, but isn't there a limit? And if so, where is it?

THE OBJECT OF HIS AFFECTIONS

DEAR OBJECT: Love and affection are indeed beautiful.
And children who "witness it wt hoe are blewsed: But the
Hmit is -renched -when you begin 40 feel uneomfortable, --

DEAR ABBY: You told AMERICA FIRST, who objected
to our taking in the boat people: -

“Unless you are a direct descendant of the American In:
dian, you wouldn't be here if your forebears hadn't sought
refuge from another country.”

Am I to assume that you do not recognize over 20 million
blacks in this country wha are NOT descendants of

American Indians? .
OFFENDED IN VALLEJO

DEAR OFFENDED: You are right, I apologize tor hav
ing overlooked the fact that YOUR ancestors were brought
here in chains — to the everlasting shame of those who were
guilty of such outrageously inhumane conduct.

DEAR ABBY: A friend of mine who lives in Hollywood
says there is a cologne called “Entice” that is going over
big out there, and—are you ready for this—it smells like
“sweaty ballplayers”!

Will you please check it out for me?
