News Inc. DEAR ABBY: Since this is anything but complimentary to women I'm sure you won't print it, but I'll write anyway. When an X-rated movie comes to town, the women flock to see it in droves. Many come by themselves. I'm not referring to just mildly pornographic films, I'm talking about the really rough ones which leave nothing to the imagination.

I've attended such movies and I notice the women's reactions are no different than the men's. Occasionally someone will walk out before the end of the film, but strangely enough, it's the women who usually stay until the very end. How do you feel about such movies? 1 have always heard and read that women are not turned on by the visual the way men are. If that's true, what are they doing there? Care to comment? MADE MY POINT DEAR MADE: So you've made your point; the point being that you suspect that women are just as "turned on" by the visual as the men are. Could be.

But most people flock to X-ralcd movies I at least once) because they are necessarily because they want to be "turned on." And if the morals squad would just ignore them instead of staging raids, confiscating film, and arresting exhibitors and patrons, thereby giving these trashy movies millions of dollars worth of free advertising in the press, they would die a slow death. DEAR ABBY: I would like your opinion of this situation: A girl of marrying age leaves town for an abartion. This is a family so she thinks. She returns and begins planning a big formal church wedding- white gown, veil, and all. Are we, her friends who are wise to all this, supposed to act dumb? Should wo buy her shower and wedding gifts and dance at her wedding as tho nothing had happened? I don't like to be made a fool of while she and her family think nobody else knows the whole story.

HATES HYPOCRITES DEAR HATES: If you would feel less "a fool" were yog to tell her that you know the whole story, tell her. But if you buy her shower and wedding gifts and dance at her wedding, she might mistake you for a friend, so unless you identify yourself, you're also a hypocrite. Problems? You'll feel better If you get it off your chest. For a personal reply, write to ABBY: Box No. 69700, L.

sat in the sun, Green Beret folded in his lap. and watched with other spectators at a downtown intersection a parade staged Friday as part of an tic homecoming rally for more than 400 former prisoners of war. As the first military color guard moved past smartly, Regnler snapped a quick lute. "I'm glad these guys are tingall this attention." he said. "They've been on TV a lot, but they've always asked that those killed in action and the wounded, the disabled, not be forgotten.

They've been good spokesmen for all of us." Regnler, now 27, served 18 months in Vietnam and left the Army In 1968, but he decided after a year in college to sue a military career. That plan was thwarted, however, by an Airborne Rangers training accident in Florida. He was aboard a jump plane which dumped its load of paratroopers barely 800 feet off the ground and Regnler, falling in a chute which barely opened, suffered a broken back. Regnier said his Beret train, ing and a maturity acquired in Vietnam has helped him come being crippled. "I learned how to get along under adverse circumstances," he said.

"I learned how to fight back. That's what carried me through." In contrast to the rush of patriotism greeting the former POWs in his home town, the sergeant recalled his ovm warm welcome on his return from combat in 1968.

Pessimistic Pete, sitting North, winced. He had listened to Gus before. East took the ace of hearts and returned the suit.

Gus ruffed his king in dummy so as to be able to take a trump finesse. It lost to the singleton king and the jack of clubs was led. Gus lost that finesse also and eventually lost the diamond finesse and his contract. If Gus had followed our precept of keeping the mouth shut and the mind open lie would have made his contract. All he had to do was to note that as long as trumps broke 2-1 that the play of the ace of trumps could not hurt him.

This time it would have picked up the singleton king. Hut just suppose East had started with king and one trump. After winning that first trump trick, Gus would cash his last high heart. Then he would throw East in with the king of trumps and East would be caught in an early end-play and forced to lead away from one of his kings. Suppose West held the guarded king of trumps.

In that case South was doomed lo defeat from the start. (NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.I The bidding has been: West Pass Pass Pass North 1 1 NT.

While the vent has been led as for all Vietnam veterans, sponsors found it impossible to include so many men and decided to make POWs special guests.

Eight enlisted men accused by Air Force CoL Theodore Guy of cooperating with the enemy while held captives did not appear for the dallas celebration.

Sponsors said all were invited. OES Installs New Officers DEL RIO (TEXAS) MEWS-HERALD, Sunday, June Officers of Del Rio Chapter 204, Order of the Eastern Star, were installed Saturday evening in the Masonic Temple on Bedell Avenue. A musical prelude was played by Mrs. Gordon McGonagill with Misses Linda and Zoe Ann Schafer presenting the Bible and the square and compasses. Officers assumed their station and Mrs.

Tom Tackitt opened the Bible for the Lord's Prayer in unison. Outgoing Worthy Patron Lloyd Deaton led the pledge of allegiance, followed by the national anthem. Mrs. Lloyd Deaton, retiring worthy matron, offered the welcome and Mrs. Albert Howard was presented as installing officer.

She was assisted by Mrs. James Haga, installing marshal; Mrs. Clouis Hansen, installing marshal pro-tern; Mrs. Blake Brown, installing chaplain; Mrs. Gordon McGonagill, installing organist and Mrs.

W.N. Reynolds, installing secretary pro-tern. Officers Mrs. Haga Herman MRS. HERMAN SCHAFER HINTS FROM HELOISE Dear Heloise: I am a very socially active senior citizen and I'm especially interested in cooking.

I've gone from a young family with children needing three good meals a day, to two people (my husband and I) needing small meals which are not too fattening! We are all that is left at home now since the children have married and gone their separate ways. Newspapers, magazines and TV are saturated with ads concerning all the innovations in the cooking line. Packaged cakes, casseroles, additions to ground meat all the wonderful helps being developed by large and fine food companies to make feeding our families easier. I try many of them! Now this is my concern: Why do so many of my friends act as if it were a sin to try these good new items? They seem to think a woman who doesn't prepare food "from scratch" is lazy someone to look down upon. Most of my friends must still be cooking as they did at the turn of the century.

I hardly dare mention that I try out anything that is precooked, prepackaged, etc. You know what I think? I think they are too tradition- bound to profit by all the wonderful helps. I've tried so many and am open for any change if it is for the better. I find it an adventure to try these new things on the market and feel it takes brains to keep up with the latest cooking helps as they are offered us. Why then, must I keep still in front of my friends about anything I use which is not laboriously prepared "from A Reader Dear Heloise: When my friends go on trips, I always provide them with what 1 call a survival kit.

I use a heavy clasped envelope and in it I put a plastic )U1 bottle filled with nickles, limes and pennies for telephone and parking meters; gum, mints, something for the middle of the night headache and maybe even something for the tummy. I also tuck in a pen, note paper and several stamps. But, that isn't all. Very often I make them a small pillow, using two pretty washcloths. I sew the washcloths together on three and one-half sides and fill with dacron quilt filling.

After it is filled I sew up the opening. These pillows are so nice to prop your head up a bit when reading, or can be used poked here and there when in the car to make riding more comfortable. Edna May Knowles LETTER OF THOUGHT Dear Heloise: Have you ever noticed that the most miserable people you know are those who make "self" the measure of the universe?

Mrs. Schafer expressed her appreciation at being elected worthy matron and Mr. Brown pledged his support. The Del Rio Assembly, Order of the Rainbow for Girls, gave a drill, forming the world in a pair of hands as they sang "He Got the Whole World in His Hands" to the newly installed worthy matron before presenting her a gift of the Praying Hands, her emblem for the year. Mrs.

Charles Lane presented Mrs. Schafer the worthy matron's banner and the traveling jewel, to be worn throughout the year. The Rev. B.L. Brown offered the benediction.

Newly installed officers presented a drill, forming a heart after singing "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" to Mrs. Schafer. They presented her flower for the year, salmon gladioli, in a bouquet. The worthy matron's colors of green and gold decorated the Lodge, a large banner on the pedestal in the East with the Praying Hands in the center. The refreshment table was covered in a floor length green cloth with gold punch service.

The tiered cake featured the Eastern Star emblem in the center. Pastel Accents Solid pastels become a rainbow of color when colorful accents are added. Big beads, in Incite or wood, are colorful as necklaces and bracelets that can be matched or contrasted with button earrings. MARK ANNIVERSARY-Mr. and Mrs.

Used under certain circumstances, nitrites and nitrates are valuable. They can prevent the growth of botulism food poisioning which is usually deadly. The two additives are used to preserve ham, bacon, frankfurters, luncheon meals and smoked fish. They contribute slightly to their taste and produce the characteristic pink color. These and the following statements are from the highly valuable book "Eater's Digest: The Con- sumer's Faclbook on Food Additives." It was written by Michael F.

Jacobson, Ph.D. in microbiology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and currently the co-director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest in Washington, D.C. In the foreword to "The Eater's Digest," Dr. Jean Mayer, professor of Nutrition at Harvard, says: "There is always a risk in introducing one more unfamiliar chemical into our and many such chemicals have not been as thoroughly tested as they could and should have been. Our fish have just come in- We have Angel Fish, Crown Loaches, all varities guppies.
