Don't tell me to consult a psychiatrist -- I hate doctors and my experience has told me to stay away from shrinks. NEEDS HELP IN A HURRY Dear NEEDS HELP: First let me cori^ct your assumption that »correct y< all psychiatrists are bad, "witch doctors" who probe patients' minds and can always find problems relating to childbirth, etc. Certainly every profession has a few "bad eggs" but let's be reasonable. You may or may not be fantasizing about your hus­ bands' reasons for wanting to change shifts. Have you taken time to sit down and discuss your feelings with your hus­ band? Does he know you're worried about your marriage? I suspect he doesn't. If you have talked it out, and are still disagreeing, then see a mar­ riage counselor who can help you work out a compromise and deal with your feelings openly and honestly. Contact the Amer­ ican Association of Marriage and Family Counselors in Clare- mont. Calif, for reliable refer­ rals to trained counselors. BY COLLEEN DUDGEON This may seem like a ridic­ ulous problem to you, but it is really driving me crazy. I live with my 25 year-old sister in a small but comfor­ table apartment. I'm 29 and we're very close. We have always got­ ten along very well until she started dating a guy I'll call Tom. It was okay with me for her to have her dates over to the apartment for dinner every so often because I do the same thing. But since she has started going out regularly with Tom, he eats he^e every night of the week and is often here for lunch too. I am not a tightwad but Tom is eating me and my sister out of house and home. He never offers to chip in for groceries and when we order pizza or other carry-out food he doesn't even think to pay his share. I think he is taking advantage of my sister but I'm afraid to tell her so because I think she'll dislike my meddling. I have tried not to be overbearing or disapproving of what she does, but it has reached a point where either he goes, or I do. What can I do? , IN TROUBLE Dear IN TROUBLE: Since you share apartment expenses with your sister you have every right to voice your opinio^ on how the budget is spent. She probably has not stopped to notice how much this third mouth you're feeding is costing. Also, as a sister and a friend, I think you should ex­ plain to her, in a nice manner of course, that male-female relationships should be recip­ rocal, and that she is definitely getting a bad deal. Bill and I have always had a perfect marriage. We very sel­ dom have anything but lovers' quarrels and we've been married 7 years. But lately I've noticed he doesn't seem to be as interested in me as he used to. He plays golf both days of the weekends and he's now thinking of applying for a night shift at the plant where he works. This would mean we wouldn't see each other at all because I have a regular 8 to 4 job. He insists he wants the night shift because he can earn better money [about $20 a week]. We've never been big spenders and I'm satisfied with what we've got. I think he wants another shift so he won't have to be at home as of­ ten, but I don't know why I feel (If you would like Colleen s comments on your particular situation or problem, write COLLEEN.

Overheated cheese usually forms a rubbery curd and tends to toughen after cooling.

For many, this means shuttering the win­ dows, locking the front door and forgetting about the "sec­ ond home" until next spring. But this sort of casual goodbye definitely isn't a wise idea, insist safety and liability underwriting experts at CNA Insurance. "More precautions fre­ quently are necessary to safe­ guard the house you live in for only a month or two a year than for your year-round resi­ dence," asserts Thomas Sny­ der, CNA's director of loss pre­ vention. "There can be more exposure to theft, vandalism, catastrophe and personal lia­ bility suits with your occasion­ al retreat -- even when you aren't there -- than with your home in the city or suburbs." Snyder points out that po­ lice in resort areas report un­ occupied vacation homes are burglarized more often than homes of permanent residents, that criminals use snowmo­ biles to reach vacation homes that used to be inaccessible during the winter, and that property crimes in general are going up at a faster rate in less populated areas than in big cities. What can be done to min­ imize the risks to your"away- from-it-all" haven during the off-season? Snyder offers these suggestions: • Hire a cottage patrol or similar service. If your area has no such service, perhaps some local residents can be encouraged to start one. Do not, however, entrust a key to your dwelling to anyone unless you are absolutely posi­ tive about their dependability. • Keep local police in­ formed of your comings and goings so they'll know when the house should be occupied and when it shouldn't. • Certain burglar alarm devices are worth the cost. While most professional crim­ inals are able to circumvent many of the more common types, an alarm may help deter amateur break-ins. Any system you consider should be evalu­ ated by the police before being installed. • Be sure to turn off the furnace and drain the pipes if leaving for any substan­ tial period of time. • Close the fireplace damper and cover the chim­ ney to keep out birds, squir- i rels or other small creatures. • Leave a sign outside the building listing the name and number of someone to call in an emergency. Nothing wors­ ens the destruction from dis­ asters -- natural or otherwise -- like leaving the damage unnoticed. Snyder also states it is equally important to check your homeowhers insurance to make sure you are ade­ quately covered in the event of damages to your summer dwelling or its contents. Most people know little about real work. SILK SCREENED CHRISTMAS CARDS "For That Personal Touch " ipij All cards hand screened at Pioneer Center for the Exceptional. Selection of 7 different designs.
