The Salem News asked readers to send pictures of the best — or worst — holiday sweaters out there. Adorned with snowflakes, reindeer and other icons of the season, these garments are, like fruitcake, a Christmas tradition some people could live without.

Dear Abby: Singles live alone in safety with aid of simple deception
Dear Abby: "Cautious Bachelorette" (July 16) asked you how she should respond to a workman who asks if she lives alone. Having worked 30 years in a maximum security prison, I can assure your readers that criminals gravitate toward jobs that provide access to people's homes as a way of scouting victims, so "Bachelorette's" concern is well-founded.
