January 10, 1980 Page 8 Candidato Presidencial Benjamin Fernandez Se Siente Optimista EL UVALDE TIMES YOU AND YOUR HEALTH LOS ANGELES!Especial) Es una manana soleada en Calabazas, un valle de los suburbios, situado al noroeste de Los Angeles. Unos 4,500 kilómetros al este, el presidente Jimmy Carter esta declarando su candidatura a la re-elec-cion ante decenas de periodistas en la Casa Blanca. En toda la nación, otros candidatos a la presidencia viajan en sus aviones privados y hacen declaraciones protegidos por agentes del servicio secreto. En su espaciosa mansion colonial española, Benj am in ( Ben ) Fernandez esta frente a la puesta, con maletas bajo el brazo y leyendo una lista de su intinerario: “A que hora?” En que hotel? Cual es la próxima ciudad? Boletos? Que linea aerea? El viajero siempre consulta el itinerario con su esposa Jacqueline y uno de sus ayudantes, Ed Vela. Fernandez coloca sus maletas en el automóvil blanco Mercedes Benz de sus esposa, agarra el volante y toma rumbo a la carretera 101. De nuevo, Fernandez prosigue su recorrido en busca de la nominación presidencial del partido republicano. Los miembros de sus campana están integrados solamente por el, su esposa y 51 voluntarios que comparten la intrépida seguridad de que Ben, aunque desconocido, sera el proximo presidente de los Estados Unidos. Fernandez, el primer candidato de origen mexicano o hispanoamericano a la presidencia del pais, nunca ha ocupado un Letters to DEBORAH WHITE Emergency Phone: 27B-4343 WINTER PROBLEMS Q: Why is pH important to the soil of potted houseplants?

El optimismo acompaña siempre al millonario que según dice, nació en un furgón. “Nadie esta haciendo una campana mas intensa que la mia”, dijo Fernandez. “Ocupo de 100 a 110 horas semanales en mi campana electoral y visito 18 estados todos los meses. La estrategia esta dando sus resultados, tal como lo había planeado, y voy a ser uno de los indiscutibles candidatos en la convención del partido/’. Fernandez, un moderado conservador, siempre esta sonriente, determinado y de buen humor. “Envidiamos a los otros candidatos que hacen campana en sus aviones privados y con protección policiaca,” dijo la Sra. Fernandez, una atractiva ex-modelo que se parece a la actriz cinematogrtafíca Audrey Hepburn. ‘‘Puerto Rico es el punto principal de mi temprana estrategia”, dijo Fernandez. “Todos siempre hablan de New Hampshire, pero en Puerto Rico se celebrara la primera elección primaria de la nación, el 17 de febrero. “Puerto Rico tendrá 14 delgados republicanos que pudieran decidir la nominación. Un individuo de apellido Fernandez deberá ganar esas primarias debido a su apellido, el primero norteamericano de ascendencia hispánica que aspira a la presidencia,” agrego. El principal contendiente Roñal Reagan, no participara en las primarias del partido republicano en Puerto Rico, donde los aspirantres serán Fernandez, George Bush, John Connally y el Senador Howard Baker. HYPERTENSION Dear Dr. Esse: My husband has hypertension. He takes blood pressure pills three times a day which keep his pressure down. Some people say eating garlic will help his hypertension, too. If this is true, how many cloves shall he take a day? — Mrs. O. Dear Dr. Esse: I'm afraid of stroke. I have high blood pressure. I’ve been taking a pill for my hypertension. But friends have mentioned that taking garlic and parsley are helpful. My pressure at present is 150 over 80. Would you change to garlic? — Mrs. D. Comment: If you're making good progress in the treatment of your high blood pressure why change treatment? Especially since garlic and parsley are no substitutes for antihypertensive medication. CAUSES OF CANCER Dear Dr. Esse: I recent- ly heard that two doctors have been quoted on TV about the causes of cancer. Among other things, they both stated that fried or broiled hamburgers can cause cancer. What is your opinion? — Mrs. W. Dear Mrs. W.: I 've read about such theories. Especially, when the hamburgers are too well done. However, I do not believe evidence is sufficiently convincing to make me give up my own liking for well-done hamburgers on the grill. GOUT RELIEVER Dear Dr. Esse: I would like to tell you about another gout reliever. Eat about 10 frozen black cherries a day. In a few days the pain will be gone. — Mr. B. Dear Mr. B: I suggest black cherries only when taken as “chasers” for the usual drugs for attacks of gout and to prevent gout. Taken alone, cherries are ¿effective. A: When potting soil is too alkaline or too acid, plants cannot absorb the necessary nutrients to grow properly. There are some home soil tester kits which are available at garden centers and plant stores, and which are simple to use. The pH figure which is neutral is 7.0. Anything above that is alkaline and anything below is acid. House- GtMner plants prefer their soil slightly acid and potting soil should register from 6.0 to 7.0. ♦ * ♦ Q: We’d like to use wood ash from our fireplace and woodburning stove; is this a good soil nutrient for outdoor plants? When should it be used? A: Store wood ashes over the winter to be used in the spring, or mix them in with your compose.

Potash helps plants ward off disease, it is essential to photosynthesis, and it balances the nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus to help the plant use them more effectively. About the only negative aspect of using wood ash in the garden is that it raises the pH to an alkaline level which might be too high for many plants so use it sparingly.

He says having people over to dinner is one of his favorite pastimes. That’s great for him, but now it means I’m trapped in the kitchen for the next three months — it takes me days just to shop and prepare for a dinner. The part that really irks me is that he did all this inviting without consulting me first to see how I felt about it or what my time schedule is like. I wouldn't have done this to his time. Am I wrong for complaining about his committing us to that much company, or what? FRAZZLED WIFE DEAR FRAZZLED: Yes, you're wrong. Wrong to let him get away with what he’s done for even one invitation. Tell him to prepare some of the dinners himself, or hire a caterer. ♦ ♦ ♦ DEAR DEBBIE: I am a 62-year-old widower with a daughter 29 who is doing everything she can to break my heart. Her life is one love affair after another with men who don’t have an ounce of respect for her. Her carry-ings on broke her mother’s heart, but nothing reaches her. I have begged her to find a claims there are no real men left and that she is coping the best she can in a world she didn’t make. But I think this is an excuse. I tell her to stay alone until she finds a man worth her attention who will have the serious intention of marriage. I admit I don’t understand her; maybe I’m too old. But if all the young people have her attitude, where is the world going? DESPONDENT DAD DEAR DAD: To begin with, lighten up a little. Sixty-two is not old today and you should be more concerned with having greater interest and vitality in your own life than depending solely on your daughter for your happiness. She is not alone; there are more single women in our society than ever before, and when she says she is trying, she is probably telling the truth. Try to see the good things about your daughter, accept her for who she might be rather than what your expectations of her are. Nobody should ever have to live up to another human being’s expectations. Love her, and accept her, and who knows, maybe someday she'll surprise you. ♦ * ♦ PERSONAL TO ALICE If you’re over 21, and I assume you are, then he isn’t any more responsi- that it can be used for takeoffs and landings while the runway is being repaired.
