Smith). 13 AfoDy I point blank answers DEAR ABBY: My daughter was to have been married in the spring, but two weeks before the wedding, the groom took a charter flight to Tucson and did not return The authorities and the FAA told us that his plane crashed in Mexico and that he is dead. We have had eight different versions of the plane crash, but as yet, no body was found, and there is no proof that he is dead. When a wedding is cancelled, I know that the bride should return the wedding gifts, but what should we do in a case like this? If it turns out that he is still alive, I am sure she will want to marry him.

Does she have to return the shower gifts, DEAR PUZZLED: If your daughter's fiance's plane crashed and he died in the wreckage, there should have been a body identified as his. Eight different versions of the plane crash? No body? You may need a lawyer to investigate this First determine weather the absent groom is in fact dead--then worry about the disposition of wedding and shower gifts. DEAR ABBY: Tell INSULTED not to fret too much about the plumber's wife who doubles as her husband's bookkeeper and who write at the bottom of an overdue bill: "Jim doesn't expect to take this out in trade, so pleaee remit." I have it on good authority that that's the way she pays her dentist's bill. I should know. I'm her IN FULL DEAR PAID: A man who makes his living from open mouths should have enough sense to keep his shut.

DEAR ABBY: Saw the letter from the woman who had sent thousands of cards to people and was complaining because few people thanked her. She could be a worn an I know. She sends me cards for Christmas, Easter, New Years, St. Patrick's Day, April Fools Day, May Day, Fourth of July, Halloween, my anniversary and birthday, and even Mother's Day! Once I sent her a note to thank her, and she sent me a card to thank me for thanking her! Then I tried calling her instead, and she kept me on the phone for an hour listening to her health problems and complaints because no one thanks her for her cards. (I can see why they don't).

She called and asked me for my son's address so she could send cards to him and his wife. They live out of town, she hasn't seen him for six years and she's never met his wife. I may be boorish, but I'm not going to write to thank someone for wishing me a "bang-up Fourth of July," or a "ghoulish Halloween." Oh, yes, I also received a "farewell" card when I went on my vacation last year and a "welcome home" card when I returned. Sign me --RATHER BE IGNORED" DEAR ABBY: A woman wrote to say that her husband had gone to a doctor six years ago and had a complete physical examination. The doctor told him he needed an operation.

She said her husband never had the operation and never went back, and he's never felt better in his li e. This renruds me of the following: Doctor to Patient: "You're in bad shape. You should have an operation." Patient: "How much will it cost?" Joy of stitching By ELSA WILLIAMS Sooner or later every needle artist gets an irresistible urge to make "something special" for her home. Something she will enjoy for years to come and possibly something that will be handed down in her family for her grandchildren and theirs to treasure and admire. What could be a more delightful choice than a headboard something charming to look at last thing at night, and first thing in the rooming." I've embroidered headboards for both my East coast home in Massachusetts and my California home in Pebble Beach.

In the former, the headboard was worked in crewel, in the latter it is stitched on needlepoint canvas. The design of Jacobean flowers is multicolored against a soft blue oacKgrouna. Though embroidering a headboard is not a small undertaking, it's well worth the time and effort. First consider carefully the kind of design you would find it pleasant to live with, then decide on the headboard shape that would be most compatible Once you've decided, have a piece of plywood cut to size and shape Pad this with several layers of soft fabric until it develops a gently rounded contour Then lay it flat on the floor and smooth your embroidery linen or canvas over it. Next trace the outline accurately If you're using canvas, leave a generous margin all around the embroidery space because your stitches will tend to "take up" the canvas.

Jacobean designs, like that on my own headboard, are particularly lovely with traditional furniture. Realistic flowers in true-to-nature colors make it springtime in your bedroom all year round. Crewel embroidery on linen takes less time than needlepoint and you may want to echo the graceful curves of stems, leaves and tendrils and the colors of the embroidered flowers in similarly padded valances to complete the room's decor For a headboard in a man's bedroom Bargello or abstract swirls of color might be a more suitable choice. Installing a custom-made headboard very easy. The panel is put against the wall and a mattress and box spring on a rolling frame is placed in front of it.

I have fallen out of love with my husband. We've been married for eight years, we have two beautiful children and a nice home. I don't ha veto work, I have a car of my own, and from all outside appearances I have it made.

My husband is a good father, is generous and is easy to live with and I know he loves me, but I am sick to death of faking it in the bedroom. I just don't feel a thing for him romantically. I respect him and I really like him, but he's more like a big brother than a husband. I haven't told him how I feel because I just hate to hurt him. He's such a decent guy.

He really deserves better than a wife who can't return his love. We talk about everything but this. Please help OF ACTING DEAR TIRED: Tell your husband that you and he should see a marriage counselor. Then do it. If you can't work through the problems that have made you more of a "sister" than a loving wife, level with him.

You're right. He deserves better. And there's much more to marriage than you're getting. DEAR ABBY: I have something to say to HISTORY BUFF who claims that a double-wedding ring ceremony has no meaning. According to him, his old German Bible (1888) says the wedding ring signifies that a woman is no longer a free and independent person, but she's in bondage to her husband.

She owes him obedience as a subject owes obedience to his master. Well, in MY book, a double-ring ceremony joins a man and woman together in holy matrimony as equals. So, HISTORY BUFF, stick it in your ear and blow it through your nose. For your information, I am only 12, and I plan to have a double-ring ceremony whether you like it or STRONG VIEW AT 12 DEAR STRONG VIEW: My juess is you're speaking for the second generation of women's libbers, right? Everyone has a problem. What's yours? For a personal reply, write to ABBY: Box No.

Water safety suggestions offered by YMCA director "People who wouldn't think of crossing a street against a red light, or of going out in the rain without their rubbers, will not give a second thought to plunging into any body of water, just so long as it appears wet and cool," said Lou Falk, physical education director of the Frederick YMCA. "They seem completely oblivious of the fact that the bottom of the pond or lake may be a veritable death trap." Falk pointed out that for water sport, unfamiliar waters are unsafe waters.

The safe places to go swimming are areas that are reserved and maintained for that purpose and adequately the well-marked, supervised and guarded bathing beach or swimming pool. Falk indicated that the most dangerous waters are those still ponds or streams which look so safe. Beneath their placid surfaces, may lurk many hidden dangers, waiting to trap the careless swimmer. Because of tides and undertows, ocean swimming is particularly hazardous, except within well-protected areas and during hours when lifeguards are present. Flooded and swollen streams should be avoided also, not only because of the swift current, but also because of the danger from wholly or partly submerged logs or other debris.

Falk said that lone swimmers are virtually asking for trouble. No one is so good or so lucky that he can't get into trouble in the water. If yu're alone and get into difficulties; the chances of coming out alive are mighty slim and the statistics prove it. Almost half the people who drowned last year were alone. "Extreme care is needed when diving," he said.

"Diving is fun. But it a i isn't fun to dive into deceptively shallow water. Nor is it fun to smash against a hidden rock or plunge into a strong but hidden undercurrent." Falk listed several has facts of water safety. One, to get used to cold water, rub it over the legs, stomach, chest and armpits. This cuts down on the shock to the body, causing the heart to make a difficult adjustment.

Another is to wait awhile after a heavy meal before swimming. "Being in the water shouldn't interfere with digestion. But excitement and exertion will do it no good and can put a heavy strain on the heart." Falk listed six simple rescue rules which he said could save many lives. In making a rescue, never get into the water unless you have to. Try to use a pole, a stick or a rope to reach the victim.

Never swim to a rescue when you can use a boat. If you must swim, try to take along some means of support such as a board or inflated inner tune. If the victim is near shore and you can't swim, push a board or other buoyant object out to him so he can hold on until help arrives. If you can't swim, don't try to save a victim in deep water. Instead, go for help as fast as you can.

Everyone, whether they can swim or not, should learn and practice the principles of artificial respiration. "One of the most important rules of water safety is never to 'show off around boats, swimming pools, or beaches," Falk said. Another dangerous cited by Falk is racing away from shore. "If you're going to have a race," he said, "start out in the water and race toward shore. That way you will be closer to land in case something happens and you need help." If you're exhausted and overheated, rest and cool off before taking to the water.

Your endurance is limited when you're tied at the start, and too-sudden temperature changes can cause cramps or other illness. "Those who can't swim well should not only stay out of deep water, but should also stay out of canoes and other small craft that are likely to capsize," he said. a a non-swimmers who insist on going in boats despite all warnings should try to cling to the boat if it capsizes. As children are victims in a majority of water accidents, much of the responsibility for preventing drownings lies with parents. Children should not be entrusted to the mercies of "water, wings" or inner tubes in deep water or unguarded swimming pools.

They can lose the "water wings" and slip off the tubes. "They should be encouraged -but not forced to learn to swim, and they should learn in well-guarded pools under competent adults instruction," Falk said.
