It was a successfu], collaboration. Their work was so praised by the conference that it is now designated as the official Cen- tennial Anthem and will be sung at the first ceremonies celebrating Centennial on New Year's Eve. At 7 p.m., December $1, on Ottawa's Parliament Hill, a choir made up of more than 200 voices will sing the an- them, accompanied by the Peace Tower carillon, played by Robert Donnell. The first presentation of the anthem will take place during the flame- lighting ceremonies of the Fires of Friendship -- the be- ginning of the year of celebra- tions for Canada's 100th birth- day. The anthem was originally to be a hymn to be sung in churches, but the magnitude of the work by Dr. Willan and Mr. Choquette made it more suit- able for presentation by profes- sional choirs. A new Centen- nial Hymn for churches is be- ing written by Rev. Kenneth Moyer, of Niagara Falls, the Rex Le Lacheur, of Ottawa.

He writes to me as often as he can, Of course X worry about him a great deal because he is an infantryman in the thick of the battle. Every letter from Boyd is. Precious and I consider it high- ly personal. My problem is his mother who lives in this city. I admit we never (had a very good relationship. My another-in-law has asked me to call her when I receive a letter from Boyd, I resent this, He is a 24-year-old man— no longer her "child." If he wants her to know how he is he can write and tell her, It's very hard for a young wife to be separated from her husband especially under these conditions, Boyd's letters are the only link I have with him now and I don't want to share even the knowledge that I have received a letter. Do you under- stand, Ann? Please tell me you d o.--P OSSESSIVE. Dear Possessive; Yes, I under- stand. I understand that you are a selfish, cold-hearted girl Who is in for plenty of grief if this is the philosophy you plan to live by. Your mother-in-law did not ask you to share Boyd's letters with her, She asked only if you would let her know then you received word from him. And you consider this an intrusion?? How is he intruding? Even the postman knows you've heard. A son is his mother's child as long as he lives. But you won't appreciate the full meaning of this until you have a son of your own. Arid if you do have a son, I hope his wife treats you with more kindness and compassion than you are show- ing your mother-in-law, 4: ,P Dear Ann Landers: Our 19- year-old son is going with a girl who said she was 16. She seemed awfully young to me so I checked with the Board of Education, She is in the ninth grade and is 14 years old, Our son is with her every evening and often comes ;home at 3:00 a.m. Both my husband and I are concerned, but we can't tell a 19-year-old boy whom to take out or what time to come home. He has a good job, pays room and board and wants to live at home. Please advise.---UPSET, Dear Upset; The girl's parents must be out of their minds to give a 14-year-old such a Jong rePe, She 001114 easily hang herself—and your son as well,. Let biro know that you are aware of the girl's age, Per- haps be is not, Don't order him to stay away from her but see that he has all the facts, * * * Dear Ann Landers: The letter signed "Ape" brought back memories. I feel sorry for the boy whose buddies gave hint that nickname, Obviously he hasn't learned how to cope with it. Maybe I can help. When I was a high school freshman my nickname was "Apey." I was only 5 feet 8 inches tall but I had unusually long arms, My reach measured 74 inches. Of course I didn't like it, but no one ever knew. When the kids yelled, "Hi 'Apey," I'd grin and yell, "Hi." When they dis- covered their efforts to rile me fell flat, they stopped. My advice, to anyone who sud- denly finds himself with an un- flattering nickname is to ignore it. If the victim refuses to rise to the bait, the name will be dropped.—FARGO FOTOG, Dear Fotog: Thanks for a chunk of sage advice, You prov- ed that it's hard to laugh at someone who can laugh at him- self. * Awkward and self-conscious?
