Dear Abby while making a delivery for the Volunteer organization meals on wheels i found myself at the door of an elderly partially disabled woman. After i identified myself by shouting to her she shouted Back saying she had to go find the key to the door. After i entered her Home she told me that she had a dead Bolt lock on the inside of the door that could be opened Only with a key. This startled me because i noticed that All the doors and windows were secured with Iron bars. I tried to explain As diplomatically As possible that this might be a dangerous situation in Case she had to get out quickly in the event of fire or for some other reason. This same condition existed in another Home 1 visited also inhabited by an elderly disabled person. Abby would t it be a Good idea for these people to Wear the key on a Chain or string around their necks Paul e. Morrill Tulsa dear Paul an excellent idea. The key could remain out of sight worn inside the clothing. It s not uncommon for keys to dear Abby be misplaced the resident could easily forget where he or she placed it for safekeeping. Dear Abby recently i took a trip from Mississippi to Denver which took me through Kansas. Needing Gas i pulled into a self service station and proceeded to fill my tank. I noticed a Young College Gir filling a car tire with cd Ana continued and continued and i air. I she continued a a a a a a a a Nally asked her if she had a tire gauge which she did no to. I told her that it looked like she was inflating the tire to the extreme and most tires require Only about 32 pounds and it needed to be checked. She came out with a gauge and we measured the tire which had 45 pounds of pressure at that Point. She would have kept going if i Hadnot cautioned her. Abby please please caution your readers especially those who Are novices around cars that radial tires do look soft. They Are supposed to. I once saw the aftermath of a tire Blowout As a result of Over inflation and it was deadly. Always have a tire gauge or have someone who works at the filling station tend to the air. If a tire blows not Only does the rubber shatter but the steel rims also act like grenade frag ments and will maim for life if there is any life left. Thanks Abby. Cautious in Ocean Springs miss. Dear cautious a word to the Wise. Those who Are unsure about How much air they should have in their tires should take the time to read the owner s manual that comes with the car.
