There's An Answer (by Norman Vincent Peale and Ruth Stafford Peale) Can't Attract Girls Q. I am a 19-year-old male and very shy, mainly around girb. I would really like to meeta nice girl, but I don't seem to nave what it is that attracts them. In your column you advised a shy girl to go out with a group and meet somebody. But I hardly have one friend, let alone a group. I would just like to know how to go to social gatherings or other events without being totally embarrassed and terrified. A. Here is a suggestion. Next time you hear of a school or church anything Then get that person talking about himself herself. Remember that in every group, large or small, th is someone as shy as you are. The more you do this the more your shyness will wither, and you will find friends of both sexes. - Perhaps you will find help in our booklet The Power to Change Your Wfe, which is on its way to y< ~ ),P We, may a free copy mjay write to us at Box 500, ou.

I am writing in regard to the widow who inquired in your column about the practice of marrying without a license to retain her widow's benefits from her first husband's Social Security. There have been changes in the Social Security law that make it no longer necessary for widows beyond a certain age to lose these benefits when remarrying. Please call your social Security office and inform this lady as I don't like to see anyone marry without a license. A. Our answer in the column was that there is no way a legal Fettucini a la King Crab is a sumptuous supper dish that is quickly and easily prepared. It combines one of the most popular Italian pastas with tender morsels of King crab from Alaska. The long, flat fettucini noodles are cooked al dente (just tender, but firm), then tossed with a buttery-rich mixture of Alaska King crab and grated Parmesan cheese, laced with a hint of lemon and garlic. Complete your menu with a crusty loaf of French or Italian bread and a salad of crisp greens. Alaska King crab is a favorite choice of busy cooks who like to create impressive meals without spending long hours in the kitchen. This choice seafood is com­ pletely cooked and cleaned during processing, requiring only chilling for cold dishes, or a gentle heating through for dishes that are to be served hot. FETTUCINI A LA KING CRAB 12 to 16 ounces frozen Alaska King crab meat 112 cup butter Juice of 1/2 lemon 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons minced parsley 1 pound fettucini noodles, cooked and drained Thaw, drain and slice crab. Melt butter over low heat. Add crab, lemon and garlic and heat gently. Add crab mixture, Parmesan cheese and parsley to hot fettucini noodles. Toss until noodles are thoroughly coated. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

And we advised the widow to get married in a proper and spiritual manner. After receiving your letter we checked with the Social Security office and learned that a widow who remarried after 60 years of age may retain the benefits she has been receiving from her forma- deceased husband. Thank you for your helpful suggestion. Mixed Up Q. I am a middle-aged woman with a husband who really treats me good. I met this man at work and we became good friends ana then lovers. He made me feel real good, and soon he was all I thought about. I couldn't wait to be with him. Then he told me he had to break up, and I found out he was only using me for sex and was using other girls the same as me. Now I'm so mixed up. We still work together but don't talk that much. I feel like I want to hate him, then I feel like I want to love him. Should I ignore him completely or try to be friendly? How can I get over him? A You are, for sure, mixed up. When you know that somebody is merely using you and you still want to love him, that is the ultimate in irrationality. You have a good husband, who treats you well but you are treating him abominably. What you need is some moral sense and the character to check off this no-good guy. Once you've made the decision to do so you will be able to handle this situation with maturity and confidence. If there is something you would like to ask Dr. and Mrs. Peale, write to them at Box 500, Pawling, N.Y. 12504. K I N G C R A B E N T R E E R E A D Y I N M I N U T E S From The Desk Of Illinois State Council On Nutrition by Virginia Hill t 100 PERCENT OF WHAT? I overheard an interesting conversation the other day from a man who was in front of me in a lunch line. He said that he had eaten a breakfast cereal that gave him 100 percent of everything he needed that day, so he decided he would have pie and coffee for lunch. Cereals are one of the Basic Four Food groups. They are good foods that are important to the diet, but certainly not perfect by themselves. They contribute complex carbohydrates, B vitamins and fiber to the diet. Down through the years, cereal products have un­ dergone many changes In the 19th. Century, cereals became available for pur­ chase in packages. Before that time, grain was pur­ chased by the pound from a barrel and cooked until it was edible. But with the ingenuity of certain enterprising men, an astounding discovery was made. With packaging and advertising, it became possible to sell grain for about twenty times its original cost. Advertising has done much for cereals, but not always for the good of the consumer. The major appeal of most cereal advertising seems to be a promise of better health. With the majority of cereals on the market being fortified or enriched (adding or restoring some of the nutrients that were lost during processing), the appeal has become even stronger. Fortification of cereals to the extent the consumer thinks that he or she does not need a well- balanced diet with a variety of foods is not justified. Don't let all the hoopla on cereal boxes and ad­ vertisements fool you into believing that a certain cereai alone can give your body everything it needs to function. There are many trace elements needed by the body that are only provided by eating a variety of foods. In fact, there are 57 known nutrients needed by the body. When a cereal implies it is supplying all the essentials • BEWARE! It may supply 100 percent for certain vitamins and minerals, but not 100 percent HOME ENERGY AUDITS Most public utilities in Illinois will begin offering home energy audits and other energy conservation help to their residential customers by mid-October, the Illinois Institute j>f Natural Resources (INK) announced. Frank Beal, director of INR, stated that the residential conservation service program could help cut home energy bills in Illinois by an estimated $16.4 million each year if only five percent of the eligible customers ask for energy audits and follow the r e s u l t i n g r e c o m ­ mendations" Pregnant, NEED HELP?

When you rely on one food, such as a fortified cereal, to supply the nutrients you need, you will also be missing out on a variety of enjoyable aspects of eating. Another problem that stems from relying on one food for your daily supply of nutrients is that you may be tempted to eat other foods that are higfy in calories and inadequate in other nutrients, or junk'foods. This thinking may lead to adding additional pounds to your body weight, and the majority of people in America do not need those extra pounds. Don't be manipulated into tf&lieving that anything, cereal or otherwise, will keep you healthy by itself We need a variety of foods from the Basic Four Food groups every day to assure us of adequate nutrients. Cereals should be one part of the total diet but shouldn't be solely relied on for perfect health Even 100 percent fortified or enriched cereals are not going to provide all 57 nutrients needed by our bodies • • * e A vacation is not going away from your work; it is getting your work out of your mind. • * • * The history of the past will do you no good if you don't know anything about it. * * * * Do you remember how silly you were as a youth? If not, you have learned little. FROZEN FOODS When buying frozen foods, always choose packages that are very firm and clean, without any discoloration from the con­ tents which indicates th&wing and refreezing. Look for other signs of defrosting, such as ice- coated, sweating or limp pack­ ages. The contents may be safe to eat, but there will be a quality loss. Frozen fruits should be kept firmly frozen until ready to thaw and use. Fruits selected for freezing are picked at the peak of ripeness and nutrient content, then cleaned and pro­ cessed quickly--before nutrient loss can occur. Since only the finest quality fruit is used for freezing, you never have to wor­ ry about buying fruit that is spoiled, bruised or otherwise unusable.
