Nov.2, WO."1 features from The World of Women ome and The Housewife Celebrates 80th birthday Service of remembrance held by Howick pupils Dear Ann Landers: This prob- lem has bothered me for years and I have been tempted to write to you many times, Now I feel I must, It is about my mother. Although I am a grown we- man and have children of my own, by mother is still the most important person in my life. I have always felt that she never loved me and no matter how hard I try to please her I some- how fall short of the mark. My sisters and brother prac- tically ignore mother yet she treats them better than she treats me. She is always tele- phoning them and going to their homes (inviting herself, actual- ly). I find myself begging her to come to our home and she keeps finding excuses, Mother does not show the same affection for my children that she shows for the other grandchildren and it bothers me terribly. This mother problem is ruin- ing my married life and casting a dark cloud on everything. Pleese tell me what is wrong with me and what I can do about it. My husband sevs eerie. get it." but this is easier said than done.—UNLOVED DAUGH- TER. Dear Daughter: Your mother's attitude toward you will never change so I suggest that you change your attitude toward her. it will probably require profes- sional help. Emotionally you are still a little girl yearning for mother's approval. A therapist can help you understand that it is your mother who is inadequate not you. When you are able to as cept this, her indifference will not bother you and you'll stop trying to curry her favor. Dear Ann Landers: I have noticed lately that whenever my wife , has, a cough she is in un- usually, good spirits. She's gay and peppy and wants to kick up her heels. Yesterday I discover- ed why. The cough syrup she takes contains a high percentage of alcohol. I figured it out when I saw her go to the medicine cabinet and take a hefty swig of the stuff. I notice too that she keeps taking the syrup even after the cough disappears. She says it makes her feel better. Neither one of us has ever used tobacco or liquor, We have been married 32 years and have gotten along just fine without it. Do you think this will hurt my wife? Please advise.—RA- THER SURPRISED. Dear Rather: I don't know the alcoholic content of that cough syrup but I do know that medicine should be measured and not swigged. I suggest that your wife tell her physician W. R. HAMILTON OPTOMETRIST Josephine Street WINGHAM FOR APPOINTMENT Phone 357-1361 what she is doing and let HIM decide if it is harmful. Dear Ann Landers: A recent letter in your column convinced me that you not only know the score, you also know the names of the games and how a lot of those games got started. I am 21, not handsome, no lady killer, and never had a great gift gab. Yet I remember very clearly that when I was in my senior year in high school, not one but three girls (one was 15 years old) all but dragged me to bed. I was a lot luckier than that poor guy who wrote, but I real- ize it was only luck and I am not asking for a good conduct medal. What happened to him could have happened to me.— MOONFACE. Dear Face: Don't throw away that horseshoe yet, Buster, it could STILL happen. Thanks for writing. What is French kissing? Is it wrong? Who should set the neck- ing limits—the boy or the girl? Can a shotgun wedding succeed? Send for a copy of the booklet, "Teen-Age Sex — Ten Ways To Cool It."

For the thirteenth year Wing- ham householders responded to the appeal for funds for U.N.I. C.E.F. on Hallowe'en. The total collected by the C. G. I. T. members and sent to the com- mittee was $191.94, the highest total since 1960 when $255.00 was received. 'Several house- holds save their pennies through- out the year for this worthy cause. The C.G.I.T. would gladly supply the distinctive Unicef boxes for such a purpose and they thank all who contri- buted this year.
