COMING OUT OF THE ECLIPSE Hospitality counts; not just the food Dear Ann Landers: Someone wrote to you recently with an unusual problem. It was a boy 16 years old who couldn't eat anything but his mother's cooking. When he tried to eat in a restaurant or in the home of a friend he lost his appetite completely or became nauseated.

You told him it was purely psychological and to get some counseling. That got me to thinking. My problem is just the opposite. I'm a guy, age 15.1 can eat anything, anytime, anyplace but not at home. I just can't eat my mother's cooking.

I wouldn't say Mom is a rotten cook, but on second thought she's pretty bad. She hates cooking and it sure shows. Her best meals are TV dinners. She's even had some failures with THEM. Sometimes the chicken hasn't thawed out long enough and it's cold.

Once in a while she burns it and blames the stove. I wish I could invite a friend to our house for dinner once in a while to pay him back. We have a neat family and I'd like to show them off, but I'm ashamed of Mom's cooking. Any suggestions? Plain Facts In Plainfield Dear Plain: If you want to invite a friend for dinner, go ahead and do it. I can promise you the food won't matter.

It's the hospitality that counts. There are some nifty frozen and canned foods around these days and if your mom will just follow the directions on the package and make sure her stove is in good working condition, she can't go wrong. I think. Dear Ann Landers: Tim and I have decided to get married next June. He is 23, and graduate student at Columbia.

I am 22, a senior at Barnard. We are both being put through school by our parents. The problem: I don't want an engagement ring. Tim's mother thinks I need one. She wants to give him a large diamond that has been in their family for a long time.

I don't want to offend her, but I don't want the ring. My mother says I will make an enemy of my future in-laws if I refuse to accept it. Tim says it is up to me but he would like me to have it for "sentimental reasons." To be honest, the ring is so big I'm afraid someone will hit me in the head for it. Furthermore I would be self-conscious wearing a stone that size. Any advice? N.Y.Q.

Mark Dear N.Y.: Accept the ring graciously. Tell your mother-in- law you appreciate the lovely and generous thought but you aren't quite ready to wear such an imprssive stone so, if she doesn't mind, you'd like to accept it and put it in the vault for a while. You might be glad in a few years that you didn't say no. Dear Ann Landers: There are between four and five million people in the United States who have sugar diabetes. Since so many individuals have this disease, why don't the proprietors of eating places use their heads and offer artificially sweetned beverages and canned fruits? Will you please suggest to the restaurant and drive-in owners that they take this matter under consideration? If they would add just a few more items to the menu it would help us diabetics enjoy going out.

Thosteson, M.D. Dear Dr.

Thosteson: I suspected from reading your column that I had low blood sugar and my doctor said yes, I did, and I should "eat protein at every meal." I have tried to do so and it has helped but the problem is that protein is expensive and getting more so every day. I've always loved eggs, cheese and even hamburger, but I can hardly stand to eat them any more.

Fifty Years Ago January 28.1923 One sign that looks like we would have very little cold weather from now on is the flight of ducks from the south to the north. This is something unusual this early. Many ducks have been seen in this locality for the past week, in fact more than were in evidence in the fall when they went south.

that we'd rather stay at home. Concerned Diabetic Dear Concerned: It's a pleasure to pass along your sound advice. At the same time I'd like to suggest some special consideration for those who are on salt-free diets, as well. The Thule people who settled the Arctic coast 10 centuries ago hunted Greenland whales and used the mammals' massive bones as beams for their houses. When climatic changes brought year-round ice that ended whale catching, they abandoned their villages for igloo hunting camps and pursued seals and walruses.

the pill. Would they be helpful for low blood sugar or am I being foolish to hope for relief in such an easy way? But thanks for leading me to realization of my problem. I no longer have screaming rages or black out so often. S. B.

I agree that protein is an expensive food item yet protein is the essential item in a diet to combat low Mood sugar, since it releases blood sugar slowly rather than in a sudden rush. But I think you may be overlooking some useful sources of protein that are not as costly as steaks and chops. You list only eggs, cheese and of which are, of course, rich protein sources. Costwise, eggs are the least expensive form of protein considering the amount you get for the money. There are ways to use eggs other than the familiar boiled, scrambled or fried.

There are many forms of omelets, adding a small amount of ham or cheese or even a few mushrooms for a different flavor. Or you can make western or Spanish omelets. And doubtless experts with the skillet can tell you other ways of making eggs different. How about creamed and sliced hard-boiled eggs on toast? Or an egg salad sandwich? Such things can help, I trust. Oh, and various casserole dishes that can include egg.

Surprisingly, you make no mention of poultry and even if you live alone and are "cooking for one," chicken can be bought in small pieces. So there's an inexpensive escape from too much eggs-cheese-hamburger. And fish. They're rich in protein, and there are many forms that don't cost as much as, say, Dover sole. By all means explore the different kinds of fish that still are available at reasonable cost.

And a can of sardines now and then for a quite different flavor. Milk can be fortified by adding powdered milk to it, to increase the protein value. Nuts are high in protein, and not all of them are expensive. The peanut is a rugged, dependable item. You might give a thought to some of the supplemental feeding preparations, powdered or liquid, that have substantial protein.

But as to "a pill" to take the place of protein foods, one pill isn't going to give you much. It will take a lot of pills and I suggest that you take a hard look at the cost, if you are thinking of taking a lot of the pills. Dear Dr. Thosteson: Because my 4-year-old daughter grinds her teeth while sleeping, my family is trying to tell me she has worms. I consider this an old wives' tale but wonder if you could clear up some of the myths surrounding worms.

Mrs. S. B. Which myths do you have in mind? The irritation of pinworms happens to be one of a variety of causes of grinding the teeth, but far from the only one. Haven't you reported this to your pediatrician? Note to Mrs.

D. I would take with a grain of salt stories that house plants "cause cancer." But such stories keep cropping up without any foundation. Your Horoscope By Jeant: Dixon The border between Canada and the U.S. has been unfortified for more than a century. SUNDAY, JAN.

Lesson of Vietnam; no more land wars Tta TriMM (Copyright It73, By United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) By Jack Anderson WASHINGTON Now that the fighting is over in Vietnam, the military strategists are quietly shifting their attention from land wars to sea wars.

One strategy paper bluntly suggests that "the qualities of a war at sea may permit our government to retain more public support than would be accorded another land war of attrition" as in Vietnam. President Nixon in his secret guidelines to the National Security Council had emphasized the lesson of Vietnam. Hereafter, the United States may furnish military aid but not combat to help an ally fight off a communist takeover. In keeping with his new strategy, he has decreed that the Army should be streamlined into a compact, modern force trained to meet the demands of the nuclear age. A sweeping reorganization has already been ordered.

But the Navy, sensing the revulsion to ground wars that has grown out of the Vietnam experience, has been suggesting that the next war may be fought entirely at sea. The admirals have argued that the United States and Soviet Union, now close to a nuclear standoff, might well have their next military confrontation at sea. As the admirals envision it, the two superpowers, neither willing to risk nuclear catastrophe by being the first to strike on land, will begin maneuvering for supremacy at sea. Already, the Soviets have given top priority to the construction of modern naval craft, both warships and submarines. In the past, these vessels have been designed and deployed largely to protect the Soviet coastline.

But Russia is now building a large aircraft carrier, capable of operating around the world. The presumption is that it will be the first of several. The possibility of a showdown at sea has stimulated some heavily classified contingency planning in the Pentagon. The strategists have recommended moving more missiles aboard submarines, as our land-based missiles become increasingly vulnerable to more accurate warheads. By concentrating more military power at sea, they hope to move the devastation of a possible nuclear attack away from land targets.

The energy crisis has also increased U.S. dependence on overseas fuel sources. The strategists have called for greater seapower, therefore, to protect the fuel shipments. The "sea war" concept was raised as early as 1971 by the Center for Naval Analyses. In a paper circulated among naval strategists, Dr.

Desmond Wilson and Cmdr. Nicholas Brown contend: Voice of the Reader Dear Editor: With so many positions and offices to be filled this year, I feel I should speak out against those people who make a career in one office or position. It is no wonder that our young people get the "establishment" feeling they do when school principals "run" one school for years, one group controls the town council for years and etc. There are iso many capable people in our area that I cannot understand people who think things cannot be run without their fingers in it. It; is my belief that no councilman, no school board member, no principal or congressman 'for that matter should fill any office for more than two terms.

The more people who serve in an office, (school board) for instance the more understanding in a community as to the needs of that school and the less credibility gap when measures such as bond issues, tax levies and etc. come up for a vote. This is not meant to impune or put down anyone, but I have been told by others that they feel the same way but feel political ties or other com- mittments they keep voting for the incumbents. In the future I will vote against "any incumbent" regardless, unless I feel that his opponent is completely incompetent. I firmly believe that school heads should not be allowed to "run" a school over three or four years.

Thank you. (s) Loyal Larson 319 Wheeler Neosho, Mo. P.S. I am not a candidate fpr any office or position, but know that there are always "more" qualified people than those who serve that never have the opportunity. "Though war is never an attractive option, especially for a democratic State, the possibility of armed conflict with the Soviet Union cannot realistically be discounted.

The qualities of a war at sea may permit our government to retain more public support than would be accorded another land war of attrition." The strategists have had some difficulty, 'however, portraying the Soviet fleet as a global menace. While it's true that Soviet warships are beginning to shop up On all seven seas and missile-carrying submarines have been tracked in U.S. waters, the secret estimates still depict the Soviet Navy essentially as defensive force. Even the new aircraft carriers, if many are built, won't be a ijiatch for American carriers for years to come. It will take long training and experience for them to equal U.S.

carrier bperations. The Soviets have made it clear, meanwhile, they won't sign another arms limitation agreement which doesn't include icarrier-based planes. They look upon the U.S. carrier forces; as strategic weapons, which threaten the Russian homeland. The; U.S.

negotiators will argue that the carrier-based planes' are intended strictly to support a conventional ground war. Iput even as they make this argument in Geneva, the thinking inside the Pentagon is changing. Post-Vietnam Planning This post-Vietnam military planning is almost sure to touch another interservice feud, as the rival services squabble for the defense dollars. Air Force is already spreading the word that sea- based planes, taking into account the cost of their support, cost four times as much as land- based planes. In answer to the Navy's argument that carriers are mobile, the Air Force contends that a prefabricated airfield can be! flown into an area and set up within three days.

The taxpayers can buy dozens of these prefab fields for the price of a single carrier. The Army, because of the de- emphasis on ground troops, is also eager to grow more wings. Indeed, the generals used Vietnam as a testing ground to demonstrate how effective their gunships and armed helicopters could be. 1 We have seen classified Pentagon reports suggesting lives were sometimes i risked to test new air-ground tactics. One purpose of the tests was to justify more planes and helicopters for the Army.

In other words, men actually died in Vietnam on the altar of in- terservice rivalry, as the Army sought to win an advantage over the Air Force. With the war over in Vietnam, scare stories can also be expected to justify high military spending. Already, the outgoing CIA director, Richard Helms, has warned the Senate Armed Services Committee behind closed doors that China is on the verge of becoming a superpower in intercontinental missiles. It's true that China has built about a dozen nuclear missiles. The first few already have been targeted against Soviet Helms didn't however, that the United States hat, developed a defense against Chinese warheads.

The CIA obtained samples of the metal that the Chinese use in their warheads. Our own nuclear', experts then constructed duplicates of the Chinese: warheads. These were detonated; underground in Nevada with X-; rays from an adjoining nuclear; explosion. Clearly, the manuevering over the past-Vietnam military- budget has already started.

Contract Bridge /B.Jay Super-Care East dealer. East-West vulnerable. NORTH 494 VK62 KQ9753 WEST 10862 1074 6 EAST VQ83 J842 J8 SOUTH 4KJ7 VA95 A 10 10 7 4 3 The bidding: East South West Pass 1 NT Pass North 3 NT Opening lead six of spades. When you consider that there are 635,013,559,600 different 13- card hands it is possible to be dealt, it becomes clear that no one in the wide, wide world is expected to bid or play them all perfectly. The chances of making a mistake in a random deal are very substantial, and most players would be extremely happy to be able to get by two or three hands in a row flawlessly.

But what makes the game especially attractive and challenging is the fact that the overwhelming majority of mistakes made by most players can be avoided by careful play. Consider this deal where South failed to perform flawlessly. He won the queen of spades with the king and played the ace and another diamond, West discarding a club. Regardless of how South now played, he was bound to go down at least one. Yet he could have insured the contract by adopting a slightly different line of play.

He should have realized that the sole danger he had to protect against was the possibility that East might have four (or five) diamonds to the jack. South should therefore have taken steps to deal with this possibility, since it was imperative to keep East out of the lead to forestall a spade return through the J-7. He could have arranged this very simply by leading a club to dummy at trick two and playing a low diamond to the ten. This would have made the contract absolutely certain, regardless of how the diamonds were divided. In the actual case, the safety play would have succeeded ana South would have made at least five notrump.
