Dear Ann Landers: My prob-
lem is my• mgtlier. She is .nice
in many ways but she has a
habit that makes me want to
Q jump ,.out of my skin. Everj
Sunday in church mom sings
so loud she drowns out the.
choir plus the whole congrega-
tion. Her voice isn't good. It is
just loud. What's, roorp, mom
• is tone deaf and if she, starts
off in the wrong key she will
stay in the wrong key for the
whole hymn. A1soy Ann, mom
`prays so .emotionally that the
people in the .church must think
she is guilty of plenty.
° . When . I . ask het to please
pipe 'own she gets mad at me.
If you can come up with a solu-
lion to my problem .I will re-
' member you in my prayers. --

• - Dear Son: it. ,is goo` fbrJpeo-
ple to sing and pray from the
heart. If your mother diad it

son to complain, but no one

prays and sings "emotionally"
in church. Forget le

Dear Ann Landers: I'll have -
to make this brief because my
husband may walk in any time
-and he must not see this letter.
This is the first moment I have
"had -alone for months. My hus-
barid .went tothe dentist. I told
at the last minute that I
had a backache or I would have
had, to go with him.,

45 years and got -along fairly
well, until his retirement, Now
• I feel as,.if I am headed.. for a
nervous breakdown. I just
can't take this, close association,
night and :day, around the clock.
Frank has always' depended

wail going to be' done I would
.have to do it.
Tbis -man has no outside in,
terests and doesn't want to do
one single' thing but hang
around me. , . He is in perfect
health yet he wants me to wait
on him 'hand and foot. He will
- not even get 'himself a cupof
coffee. °
I can't have' a woihan friend
in for a visit because Frank
pulls, up a chair listens to every
word. He tags along when I do
the ''marketing and- even comes
to the beauty shop with ,rne..

-Dear Prisoner: - Tt takes two
people to create e • problem like
yours —• a dependent, spoiled
'rotten husband and. a wife who
lets him get -away with it
This' pattern was set years
ago and it must have filled a
neurotic need in you or you
would not have . tolerated it.
Now,if- it k driving; you loony,
insist on the freedom which is
rightfully j$urs and refuse to

Dear Ann -Landers: We, are,
four ex -Air Force wives who
read with interest " the letter
from "Disgusted," a mother,
whose "17 -year-old son's girl
friend had taken an apartment
near the base for a Month, So
much of this sort of thing goes
on it is sickening , ° Very, oh
why; are the parents .of young
girls se eager to get them . mar•
ried off that they virtually push
them. out of the h6use?
This " is '-the way it works:
The girl writes 'her .boy friend'
that she is dying of loneliness'
and can't stand- to be without
him: He is lonely, .too, iso she
goes "to "visit" him. Before you
know it they are married.
They Move into a little dump.
If the boy is in a special
school, he has long hours and
is too tired to give his wife -the
time and attention she needs.
The girl has no education and
no skills. She, can't hold a dec-
ent leb. She also can't cook or
clean or iron a shirt: The groom
,gets sick of her whining and
complaining. The bride becomes
disenchafited with married life.
Next. scene: The lawyer's office.'
Betweenthe four •of us we
have 43 years of living on mili-
tary. bases. Please take our
word fo'r it, girls, Ain Landers
is right when she says, "If it's
love, it can wait. If it isn't,
who needs it?' Listen' to her."—
