4 1 CHILDREN 3 THRU LUNCH 76 i ii i- II mm in. niMMrn By Gene Siskel Movie critic IF ONXY "MIDWAY" lived up to Its pretltle sequence in which a number of messages crawl across the screen before the movie begins. First, there is a medical disclaimer about the "Sensurround" sound system, which says that neither the theater nor Universal Pictures is responsible if you become physically or mentally unglued because of seat-trembling sound effects. The disclaimer turns out to be old-fashioned Hollywood ballyhoo. The auditorum vibrates less than a bungalow near Midway Airport.

Next comes the equally boastful message, "This is the way it was the exemplary courage, error, and pure chance by which the events of World War II were decided." That really whetted my appetite for a quality film, because I've often thought war movies gave short shrift to chance and human error, and in so doing missed a great opportunity to subtly demonstrate the quicksilver glory of battle. To its credit "Midway" has its characters make mistakes, but because the film as a whole is so artificial, the mistakes appear to be just so much convenient dramaturgy not realism. The actual 1942 battle of the Pacific's Midway Island, which followed Jimmy Doolittle's raid on Tokyo, is considered a World War II turning point because the Japanese navy was transformed by the loss from an attacking force to a defensive flotilla. The focus of war moved away from Hawaii and back toward Japan. "Midway" certainly communicates that basic information, and more.

We learn the Japanese blew the battle because they didn't know the location of American aircraft carriers, and because the Americans broke a Japanese code and didn't fall for a diverting attack on the Aleutian Islands. Beyond that, the film lost me in an intricate naval chalk talk full of model boats, dates, and diagrams. BUT THAT'S THE least of the movie's problems. Screenwriter Donald Sanford deserves a year in the brig for inserting amid the battle scenes a stupid subplot involving a young American sailor in love with a Japanese-American girl. Edward Albert, who still acts as if he were blind as In "Butterflies Are Free," plays the young ensign with a problem.

A turgi'd Charlton Heston plays his father, a fictitious naval captain. Says son to father: aw I DEAR ARBY: Please print this for that 14-year-old girl whose father molested her: I hope you will take Abby's advice and tell your mother. If not, call the police whose job it is to protect young people with such problems. Or look for Children's tlervices in your telephone book. If you find it, dial 0 and ask the operator to help yo.

If there is a hotline or a crisis center service in your area, call it. As a newspaper reporter a few years ago, I Interviewed the Children's Services people and they were line of the nicest people I had ever met. If you just can't tell your mother, ask the Children's Services fwcplo to tell her for you. Their job is to see children arc: helped out of danger. Your problem is more common than you realize.

Don't worry about what the Children's Services people will think; they have heard it all before. Please don't keep this secret locked up inside you. Abhv cares. So do I. A Friend Dear Friend: Please read on for another helpful letter on the same subject.

DEAR ABBY: Ten lashes with a wet typewriter ribbon for advising that girl who had been molested by her father to tell her mother. Not all mothers are sympathetic. Some fear their husbands. Others don't want to rock the boat by facing reality. The girl may be bet i Jin.

The Children's Protective Services are the people to call. Flease let children know this. Phyllis in Concord, N. H. Dear Phyllis: You are right.

About 10 years ago, a 16-year-old St. Paul girl in the same predicament wrote, seeking my help. After I checked her story and learned it was true, I enlisted the help of a state Supreme Court justice in an effort to rescue the girl and deal with her father appropriately. Incredibly, the girl's mother refused to press charges against her husband, saying, "If he's put away, there goes the family's paycheck." The daughter also refused to testify against her father, so we were stymied. Children who are molested sexually by an adult should call the Children's Protective Service, if the community has one.

Otherwise, tell a trusted adult friend, teacher, relative or neighbor. Or call the police. DEAR ABBY: In a recent column, you pointed out honesty is the best policy. I agree, but in his "Ethics From Sinai," Irving M. Bunim reprimands us for equating honesty with a policy.

He wrote: "Consider the maxim, 'Honesty is the best How dare we reduce honesty to a 'policy'! A policy has its place in business. It may be a policy to extend credit for 30 or 60 days, or to receive salesmen only at certain times during the week. But an etjiical obligation cannot simply be 'a Honesty is. a value built into the structure of existence itself." Arthur in Memphis "Dad, I've fallen in love with a Japanese girl. I need your help." Replies Heston: "I guess you do, tiger!" Did the filmmakers think their battle scenes were so intense we needed a respite of cornball drama? If so, they overestimate their technical skill of putting warfare on film and underestimate our stamina and intelligence.

Actually, the whole romance subplot insults the legacy of Midway. "Midway," coincidentally, is the second film in as many weeks to try to deal with the American maltreatment of Japanese-Americans in World War II. "Baby Blue Marine" gave it a shot last week. Both films should have left the subject to documentaries. What is enjoyable about "Midway" is one performance and a few battle sequences.

Henry Fonda is absolutely convincing as Pacific Fleet Commander Chester W. Nimitz. Fonda plays his scenes with a newsreel film, but what has been revealed in recent industry reports as footage from a postwar Japanese commercial feature. Nevertheless, there are moments of excitement as planes and boats blow apart. But for every bathtub battle thrill, there's an embarrassment.

For example, the portrayal of the Japanese military. In an attempt to make "Midway" palatable and commercial for a worldwide audience, the film replaces the hellfire of old Hollywood war pictures with a conciliatory attitude toward enemies. The American officers commend their Japanese counterparts, and vice-versa. Says Toshiro Mifune, commander of Japanese forces, as an American pilot crashes into a carrier, "They sacrifice themsleves like samurai, these Americans." If "Midway" actually were to live up to its self-billing as "the way it was," I suspect Mifune, in the heat of battle, might have said something more profane than profound.

He knows before you do that you are putting on pounds. Whether or not he'll say anything depends on how well he knows you. He might be subtle and say, "I don't like this size on you." If you re a friend he may suggest, "Sam, you've gained weight since you were in last. These clothes don't look so good on you. Lose some weight and come back in a month." Of course, you could face up to the clues you've so quietly ignored.

When your pants won't close, don't blame it on the dry cleaner or the washing machine. And when your dress shirts strangle you, it isn't because they weren't Sanforized, Classes lormmg now Moderate Tuition I Major credit cards and are larger than you look." HE ALSO CAN avoid saying that you are fat by observing that there is considerable variation in the same label size. Often men who know they have gained weight insist on buying their same size. "Leave it tight, I'm going to lose weight," Is a typical comment. And often this is what happens.

More and more of Turner's customers who have lost weight are returning clothes to be altered. Budget Payments. SUMMER PROGRAM tend (his coupon today or phorw (312) 642-2667 .1. I I DOWI.mCROE:605.0,i,ll. IJO I I.

"They are cut very tight across the derriere. They are tight in the crotch. They are more tapered." He talked about some of the tricks skillful clothing salesmen use with customers who want to look fashionable yet avoid dieting. "First, a good sales- man won't ask your size when you walk in. He'll measure you with his eye, go to the rack, pick out some samples, and try them on you.
