Husband can stimulate her mind By Abigail Van Buren 1 I If70 br ChkIM TflbwM-N. Y. Htwt Int. tK.) DEAIl ABBY: I would like to answer that man who said, would rather stare at the TV than talk to the idiot I married." A mature and intelligent man who sees that hii wife is not growing intellectually can help her if he really Wanti to. He can present current events to her in an interesting manner and subtly arouse her interest in world affairs and politics.

He can encourage her to improve her mind by seeing to it that she has the time to do "mind-improving" things, either by sitting with the children himself, or providing her with a sitter. Most women have a greater desire to improve their minds than men. The man who says that his wife is an "idiot," likes her that way. She is no challenge to him, and the contrast only makes HIM look better. This kind is afraid that his wife will develop into an intelligent, mind-improved, informed woman, and show him up.

He'd rather go around calling her an idiot to her face, and' to his friends. Then HE feels smarter. Statistics show that when a woman gets a higher paying job than her husband, his ego can't take it, and the marriage falls apart. Okay, "Mr. Married-An-Jdiot," put up or shut up! "STILL GROWING" IN K.

S. DEAR What you say is true in some cases--but not in all. When a man achieves success and prominence and leaves "the little woman" in the dust intellectually, you wonder what he saw in her before they wore married. It's the same old story. A man may fall in love with a dimple, but he has to marry the whole girl.

DEAR ABBY: I am 14 and I have a very bad case of acne and blackheads. My mother took me to a skin doctor, and he said a lot of adolescents are troubled with this, and there's nothing you can do about it, except watch your diet, keep your face clean and not to squeeze the blackheads. Well, every time I turn around my mother says, "Come here," and then she squeezes a couple of my blackheads. When I remind her of what the doctor said, she says, "0, be quiet. I have to look at you all day." What should I do? SQUEEZED DKAIl SQUEEZED: Tell your mother that YOU will have la look at YOURSELF for the rest of your life, and therefore you intend to obey your doctor's orders, IP.

S. And I have yet to see a teen-ager who can't run faster than his DEAR ABBY: I have seen several letters in your column lately from mothers whose daughters have become pregnant tho unmarried. They say, "Hold up your heads, keep your daughter home, help her raise her baby, and help her to make something of herself." That may be the best solution for some girls, but not for others. In my case, I went to a home for unwed mothers. In fact, 1 am here now, and I want to thank you for your assistance in securing my admission here.

I realize now that this was the best of all possible alternatives for my family, my baby, and myself. I can more calmly face my responsibilities to my baby and myself in making decisions which will affect both of us. The staff here is wonderful. They found a job for me outside the home which gives me a chance to get out during the daytime as well as to earn some money. I have written to several colleges for catalogs and applications for admission next fall.

Here at the home, I was elected to the council. The council girls "represent" the girls in meetings with the staff which sets up house rules. We also show the new girls around and make them feel at home. There are classrooms here, and high school education is continued. Some of the college educated girls help tutor.

They even have art classes, and girls are taught to sew, knit, and crochet. I have met girls from various backgrounds, and I know I will benefit from this experience and become a better, stronger person. If you want to print this letter, you have my permission, but please omit my name. It may help some girls who are confused and afraid to seek help. It is not a question of hiding only the physical change in myself.

It is also a matter of not hiding the emotional and mental effects of pregnancy within me. WISE CHOICE Brooke Soldier Receives Award PLEIKU, Vietnam Specialist Four Charles F. Dobbs, son of Mr. and Mrs. George F.

His clients come from many denominations but the bulk are Roman Catholic, Starts Personnel Agency At the suggestion of a Jesuit who has no intention of becoming a secular, Fogarty and colleagues started the specialist personnel agency just for the ex- religious. "The nuns are easier to place than the priests," Fogarty said in an interview. "Banks, insurance companies and brokerage houses accept the expriests readily, bu most other employers won't even interview them." That angers Fogarty. "We only suggest interviews for those we ive screened and know will be stable on the job," he said "There is quite a bit prejudice." One highly educated ex-pries is a doorman.
