My problem is Jimmy's buddy (I'll call him Jimmy and Leo used to go out and make the bars before Jimmy and I started to live together. Then Leo moved out of town, and I was relieved. Now Leo is in the picture again. He comes to town nearly every weekend and encourages Jimmy to make the bars with him.

Leo has no steady girl-he's a womanizer, and when he and Jimmy go out together, they stay out practically all Jimmy never goes near a bar until Leo comes in town. I've tried to explain to Jimmy that we are a couple, and I don't want to be left sitting at home while he's out barhopping with Leo. Jimmy says he and Leo were best buddies before he even knew me, and besides, we aren't married, we're just living together. Well, I consider him my husband, and I feel like I'm his wife. Leo knows how I feel, but he continues to encourage Jimmy to go with him.

What should I do about Leo? FEELING THREATENED DEAR FEELING: Your problem isn't Leo, it's Jimmy. He's doing what he wants to do; no one is forcing him. Don't blame Leo-thank him. He's showing you a side of Jimmy that you might not have seen until it was too late. DEAR ABBY: Recently a friend of mine (whom I'll call John) bought four theater tickets one for himself, one as a birthday gift for me, and two for friends of his.

It was my understanding that John's friends were going to pay him for their own tickets. About two hours before the performance, John called and asked if I knew anyone who would like to come along because one of his friends had canceled at the last moment. I found a friend who' was glad to go, and we all enjoyed the evening. Afterward, I was astonished to learn that John expected payment for the ticket! It was my impression that the ticket would have gone to waste if it hadn't been used. Who should pay for the ticket? John? The friend who canceled? Ormy friend who came along at the last moment? STICKY SITUATION DEAR STICKY: If John's two friends agreed to pay him for the tickets, then the friend who canceled at the last moment should have paid John whether he used it or not.

When John called and asked.if you knew of anyone who wanted to "come you had every right to assume that John was offering the ticket at no charge, since there was no mention of money. Engaged to wed United Methodist Church in Alexandria. Rev. Emmett Anderson will officiate. TAMARA K.

The couple will exchange vows September 7, at the First DEAR ABBY: Two weeks ago, I received a chain letter in the mail informing me that' if I didn't make copies and send them to 15 people, I would suffer dire consequences -even death! I tossed it in the garbage.

Since then, my TV set broke down and now my refrigerator is on the blink, and I had a big fight with my husband. I usually laugh at such coincidences, but now I am wondering if maybe my throwing that chain letter away has something to do with all this bad luck I've been having. SCARED IN NEW YORK DEAR SCARED: Chain letters are just so much rubbish, but they can be damaging if a person becomes frightened by them. Chain letters that threaten "dire consequences-even death" are against postal regulations. Should you receive another, send it to your postmaster.

Many of them have junked their noisy, smelly generators and get their power from solar energy. Modern conveniences are becoming the outdoors rule rather than the exception, according to an article in the July issue of Sports Afield, as campers, fishermen, hikers, and owners of boats and recreational vehicles charge their batteries with solar power.

Prices of solar panels have dropped dramatically in the last few years, from a whopping $10,000 in 1969 to $300 today for a 2.5 amp panel measuring 1-by-4 feet. Consider the convenience of always having fully charged batteries, and solar powers adds even more to outdoor enjoy- Te In a business meeting Kim Jorgensen Petrites, of Merrillville, was elected to replace Margaret Tebbe Keller, vice- president, who was killed in an accident last October.

IN BANGOR, MAINE: Psychiatry is not an atheistic concept. The greatest textbook ever written on human behavior is the Bible, in which the principle of psychoanalysis was set forth 3,000 years ago: "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32) Not until one knows the truth about himself, complete with all the grim hostilities, insecurities and unresolved conflicts, is he truly, the "free." role of the psychotherapist to remove the camouflage, self-deception and rationalizatiops, and to bring the unconscious conflicts into the conscious mind where reason can deal with them. Once reason is gained, the cure begins. Because the truth does indeed make one free. It's a boy!

Solar energy actually works more efficiently in colder climates. The operative factor is the number of hours, of sunlight per day. Washington, Oregon, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont average three hours of sunlight per day, New York has four hours, Virginia to Georgia four and a half, south Florida and Nevada five and a half, and Hawaii and Arizona six. Albert Einstein in 1903 predicted the eventual practical use of solar energy, and it became a reality in 1954 when NASA scientists invented the silicon wafer. Today solar energy can run a Smith, Kokomo; Rebecca Tragesser Souply, Sharpsville; Martha Walsh Largent, Indianapolis.
