Julie 3, 1905 Home and The Housewife Ann Landers Dear Ann Landers: I am a de•n mother who needs advice. One little boy in my pack is adorable -- and heartbreaking. He and our son are best pals. I have seen the boy's mother on several occasions, and I'm sure the woman has a drinking problem. The youngster's shirts look as if they have not been ironed and yesterday, when he raised his hand to give the pledge, I noticed he had no buttons on his sleeves. The cuffs were fastened with safety pins, I told the boy I'd have to give him demerits next time if he didn't get those buttons on. He replied, "I asked my mom twice but she had too many other things to do." Do you feel I should sew the buttons on the boy's shirt, and perhaps buy him some new shirts and sox? The little fel- low looks awfully shabby but I don't want to get into trouble with his mother.—CONCERN- ED. Dear Concerned: Since the boy and your son are best pals, it would not be out of line if you sewed the buttons on his shirts — as a "special favor," I don't think the child's mother will notice. And all mothers will agree that shirts and sox are practical gifts for a birthday or Christmas, o--0--0 Dear Ann Landers: My hus- band and I need some advice regarding our 17 - year - old daughter. When Sharon was 13 she began to date, against our wishes. We told ,her we did not approve but she said all her friends were dating and she didn't want to be an oddball. At 15 Sharon began to go steady with a boy of a different faith—also against our wishes. She will graduate from high school next February. All her life Sharon has want- ed to be a nurse. Now her boy friend thinks she should go to state college because he will be there. Last night she announc- ed she is going to do just that. When we •told her to stick to her nursing plans she threaten- ed to go to the city where our ELLIOTT'S BEAUTY LOUNGE COLD WAVE BODY PERMS HAIR COLORING MAIN STREET, WINGHAM Phone 357-2981 state college is located and get a job, Is it right for a girl to ignore her parents' wishes and follow, instead, her boy friend's in- structions ?—IGNORED. Dear Ignored: If your daugh- ter would not listen to you when she was 13, why are you surprised that she won't listen to you now? It's too bad Sharon wants to pass up a nursing career to suit her boy friend but you lost eon- trol many years ago and I doubt that she'll pay any at- tention to you at this late date. 0--0--0 Dear Ann Landers: I am 19 and going with a very smart fellow who is majoring in 'psy- chology. He is 20. He tells me I am unrealistic, antediluvian, selfish, stubborn, and mid-Victorian. Why? Be- cause I don't believe that the physical pleasures of marriage should be enjoyed •by couples who are going steady. According to my boy friend a girl should prepare for mar- riage if she wants to be a suc- cessful wife in the same way that a pianist should have hours of rehearsal before he enters Carnegie Hall to play a concert, He says if a girl has had no pre -marital experience, marriage can be a shock. What is the answer to this, Ann? Like I said, he is very smart.— SINKING. Dear Sinking: Tell that smart boy friend of yours that pregnancy outside of marriage can be a bigger shock than marriage without experience. 0--0--0 Too many starry-eyed lovers do not know the difference. Do you? Send for ANN LAND - ERS' booklet, "Before You Marry — Is It Love or Sex?" enclosing with your request 20 cents in coin and a long, self- addressed, stamped envelope, Ann Landers will be glad to help you with your problems. Send them to her in care of this newspaper enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envel- ope. W. R.
