Dear Ann Landers: I am an 18-year-old boy who has a prob- lem I can't solve alone, About two years ago I started to stutter. I didn't pay much at- tention to it at first but it be- gan to get really bad about six months ago, Now I can't utter a single sentence without stut- tering something terrible. This has made me so self-conscious that I keep quiet most of the time. I went to my priest and he told me I stutter because I am afraid of my father. He is right about my fear, but could this make a person stutter? I need to get a job and I don't think anyone will hire me if I can't speak properly. Please tell me what to do.— CHICAGO DON. Dear Don: Your priest un- doubtedly knows the score — plus the names and numbers' of all the players. I would say he is right. The Catholic Charities do a wonderful job for people who need guidance. Look in the phone book. I know the Chicago Charities is top-notch. * Dear Ann: Thank you for printing that letter saying a man is not a sissy if he helps his wife in the house, especially if she works outside the home or if there are small children. Our own son is six-feet-two, in his late twenties and married to a lovely girl, They have four youngsters and a big house and yard. He helps her with the laundry, the dishes, bathing the kids, anything there is to he done. They are as happy as can be and the house and yard always looks lovely. Our daughter, on the other hand, is married to a man who puts in his 8 hours at the office. comes home, sits in front of the TV and refuses to move off the chair to get himself a glass of water. His wife runs after their three little ones from morning till night. She does all her own housework and laundry and bak- ing, mows the lawn, hangs the screens and she even takes the car for oil changes. There are times when I would like to say to my son-in-law. "Get off your fat backside and do something to help your wife." But, of course, I bite my tengue. Print this, please. Maybe a few people will recognize them- selves.—MUTE. Dear Mute: Here's your letter and I sympathize with your daughter and all the other wo- men who are married to lazy bums. But I hope you will con- tinue to bite your tongue and live up to your signature. Dear Ann Landers: I have a close friend who is kind and generous and has many good qualities but she has one habit that drives me and everyone else crazy. She talks constant- ly, never allowing anyone to get a word in. It is maddening the way this woman goes from one subject to the next, connecting every sentence with "and — a —" or — "however — " mak- ing certain she doesn't relin- quish the floor. She is not stupid, Ann. So why doesn't she know it is rude and irritating to monopolize every conversation? Please eX- plain and recommend a solu- tion?—MONTANA, 1111.1.1 N.. Dear Montana: Your friend rattles on not because she feels that what she has to say is im' portant but because she is ner- vous, If you are a good friend, you might tell her that her non-stop talking is hard on others and that she should make an effort to control it. Compulsive talk- ers CAN cut down on the ver- biage by making a conscious effort to do so. Dear Ann Landers: Last year I was dating a wonderful girl. Things were going fine until I cheated on her and lied about it. We had an argument and broke up. When she married someone else five months later I thought I'd die. I hear rumors that she and her husband are not getting along and there is talk of sep- aration. Ivry problem is this: miss her like cra7v. I hove been going through the motions of living ever since she married. Now that I see a chance to get her hack I ran hardly contain myself. T have not seen her since the day we quarrelled. I have a wild urge to rush in and play the rescue bit — tell her I'll be there if she ever wants me. Or should I wait un- til she calls' I'm scared to death her pride won't let her. Please tell me what to do. I need some cool counsel.—NEW HOPE. Dear Hope: Steady there, fella. Keep your hands off that phone. The girl Is married now, and so long as she is married you have no place in her life. Play this one strictly on the up and up. You'll be happy you did. * * * Dear Ann Landers: I work in a hospital and enjoy it very much. I am not an RN, I am an aide, but I have great compas- sion for the patients and try to bring a little sunshine into the lives of those who have few or no visitors. I am continually amazed at the thoughtlessness of some people who send get-well cards. One woman received a card which read, "Hurry up and get out of the hospital and go on home. Your husband has been having too much fun lately." Another card signed, "The Gang at the Office" went something like this: "Quit loafing and get back to work. We're tired of carrying your load." Then, there are cards so ob- scene that one wonders if it is against the law to put them in the mail. I won't describe these cards because the messages are unprintable. What can be done about this sort of thing?---BUG- EYED. Dear Bug: The obscene cards should be sent to the Post Of- fice Department. The tasteless one, unfortunately, will con- tinue to be sold, simply be- cause there are a lot of taste- less people in the world. All letters or requests should be addressed to Ann Landers, c/o Advance-Times, Wingham. They are forwarded from this office unopened. Be sure to enclose a long, self • addressed unstamped envelope and 5 cents for postage, and the necessary coinage for the booklet request. ed. WHITECHURCH-- Chalmers Presbyterian W.

The introduc- tion of some 469 new wall- covering styles is a welcome addition in the marketplace. Many patterns are exciting- ly modern while others are elegantly classic. There are lively textures, personality patterns and many subtle co- ordinates to be found within the new groups, One line features the in- creasingly popular velvety flocked patterns with special engraved effects and rich du- plex embossed patterns. Often the unusual design has been created through multi-process printing techniques. Other collections feature an exciting variety of patterns and textures in colors to harmonize for any and all basic room set- tings. There is also an engrav- ed wood section. These popu- lar woods have now been ex- panded to include a teak, a pecan and a country pine. The ready pasted, precision trimmed, vinyl coated and completely washable qualities allow the consumer to choose with confidence, apply easily and maintain with little effort. because of illness.

See how easily the brush-on brow liner in charcoal or midnight, with a tiny slant- edged brush can make the busi- ness of feathering on a more distinctive eyebrow. Nothing hard. Just soft accent. Life of Amos is Bible study at UCW meeting WHITECHURCH-- Fourteen ladies attended the meeting of Calvin-Brick U.C.W, at the home of Mrs. Ronald Coultes last Wednesday.

A few articles made in Japan were on display and a reading and talk on Japan were given. The birthday tea followed the closing prayer by the leader. End confusion about squash Winter squash, summer squash -- which is which? Each is a distinct variety, each must be chosen according to different standards, then stored and used within a certain leng- th of time. Squash is mild- flavored, full of vitamin A, and inexpensive, too; good reasons to serve this vegetable to your family. Summer squash has a tender, edible rind. You will know it as vegetable marrow or Zuc- chini; long and slim or round with a scalloped edge. This vegetable will be firm and heavy for its size; the skin will be tender, fresh, and free from blemishes. A hard, dry or shriveled, blackened stem in- dicates a squash that isn't fresh, Summer squash should be re- frigerated and used as soon as possible after buying. Winter squash comes in dif- ferent varieties and shapes. You are probably familiar with the Acorn, Butternut, and Hubbard varieties. These have a hard shell or rind and a ma- ture, evenly developed color. Again, it will be heavy for its size and free from blemishes. A winter squash which is firm and unbruised and has the stem still attached will keep up to a month if stored at 50 to 55°F. Want a perfect upside-down cake? Line cake pan with foil completely, both sides and bot- tom. Prepare sugar and fruit as usual.

Many friends and neighbors came to wish her well on the happy occasion.—A-T Photo. Mrs. Wallace Conn conducts meeting Ann Landers Wednesday afternoon of last week the entrance to the United Church was crowded with ladies. At that time, the annual Christmas tea and ba- zaar, sponsored by the U.C.W. was officially declared ope,n by Rev. C. M. Jardine. The Sunday School room made one aware of the rich joy of Christmas. Gold and white bells and garlands festooned the room; miniature gold trees decorated the 16 tea tables; a larger gold tree was the centre- piece of the central table. These trees were created by Mrs. Elwood Irwin, Mrs. Ste- wart Leedham and Mrs. Ken Wood. These ladies also trans- BRIDGE RESULTS The Howell system was used. First: Mr. and Mrs. J.H.

Serving as hostesses at the tea table were Mrs. Frank Collar, Mrs. Chris New- man, Mrs. Lev. Balser, Mrs. Robert Ahara, Mrs. Tom Bell, and Mrs. Jack Reavie. The latter and Mrs. C.M. Jardine greeted guests at the door and Mrs. M. MacLennan, Mrs. Bill King and Mrs. G.N. Tif- fin acted as hostesses the the tea room. Every unit of the U.C.W. had set up a booth for the ba- zaar, The afternoon unit pre- sided at the "Country Store" where assorted products were sold. The evening units all provided a sumptuous array of baking and attractive articles for Christmas gifts or decorat- ing. The C.G.I.T. had fudge, cookies and decorations at their table. Refreshments were provided by the ladies of all the units under the direction of their social conveners and Mrs. Andy Lunn, the chairman of the social-committee. The co-operation of the U.C.W. and of those who attended from the community, and of those who represented the other churches by serving tea was necessary to ensure the success of this year's tea. By the time a man is in shape to buy his wife beautiful clothes, she isn't. .romesoamr., mexcesocammaxismintga W.
