' y o 1968 features from The World of Women Dear Ann Landers: Our son is a high 'school graduate and was a very good. student. 4 friend of his dropped, out in the 10th grade. Both boys ap- plied for the same job several months ago. The other boy was hired. They were given a test which asked ,questions like this: 1. Are you afraid of the dark? 2., Are you afraid of lightning and thunder? 3. Are you afraid of being trap- ped in an elevator? 4. Do you have a good relation- ship with your parents? 5. When you lose your temper do you want 'to fight or do you walk away? After two months the other boy was fired and our son- was employed in his placer It is a - good job and he likes it. What I would like to know is why wasn't our son hired in the first place; 'Is it possible that the other boy` received' a higher .. ade on the test? -This is what lour son was told. -- EAST COAST: . Dear East; It is not only pos- sible, but likely. The test prob- 'ably covered • a wide range of questions. -Your son undoubted- ly. did better in the academic field' and the other hoy may have come out ahead on 'person- ality evaluation. . Employers have •discovered • that the book -smart applicant. isn't always. the best choice for the- .job. The applicant who has greater 'emotional maturity is often more valuable to a eon- , party. • • But the tests aren't infallible, as' indicated by the fact that,, your son is : succeeding on the, job where the other boy failed. • * * Dear • Ann Landers: The . 38 - Year -old widow who wrote to describe the kind of men ' she is running_ into hit the mail v squarely on the head. She `said, ."Fifty` percent of the unmar- • tied males I dated believe it is emotionally„ unhealthy for a _widow ta.ve without sex and .,+roo,.o,t to belt) save' my fnental health. Twenty-fivepercent. al C advanced cases of ambulatory alcoholism. I'm afraid to drive with them. The others are . mama's boys .or wornout swing- ers who want 'to quit work and -travel - on someone else's money." Since I am also a middle-aged widow Fd like to add' a few comments. My husband died in 1965. The friends we shared. couldn't do enough for me. They brought over enough food to feed an army. The ,house was filled with flowers. The phone rang constantly for two weeks. Not ' one friend has introduc- ed . me to • an eligible male . in the years I've been widow: Someone suggested a c Ti 'th club. I went once and never caw such a collection of creeps. Itook a cruise and almost died or„ loneliness. This is a man's world,' un- less • you are ' under 25 and gorgeous. So why don't you per- - form a national service, ;Ann, and. ask . through your column where are the decent men ' in the 40s and 50s who are inter- ested in meeting respectable women in the 30s and. 40s. Where are you hiding, gentle- men? Tell Ann and she'll ' tell us. -DISCOURAGED. Dear Ann .• This morning at 7:31 neigh- bor rang the ut.,.us . ell. My young son told her I was asleep. I heard him talk to her but I remained in bed until 8:15. I ;thought surely she would be gone by that time, but I was wrong. The woman was still sitting on our front porch at 8:30 so I invited her in for coffee. $he apologized for coming to visit at such an early hour, but explained that -she had taken sone allergy pills and they de her nervous and afraid to be alone,. Is this woman mentally ill? She is intelligent and pleasant and seems perfectly normal in conversation. Please tell Ines what to do. '`I' don't want to be cruel, yet I can't tolerate her early morning visiting.= -OAK- • Dear Oakland: The woman probably was afraid to be alone, but 1 doubt that her fears were the result of allergy pills. She could have been . experiencing anxiety , symptoms which aro part of mental illness. If the woman shp1d come visiting . again at an' unseemly hours, ' suggest that she see a physician. He 'can prescribe medication to quiet her nerves. ' * Dear Ann Landers: ray Whoa ther-in-law is always sticking her nose- into my business' and I am,. sick of it. Yesterday she came over while I was -bathing our eight -weeks -old ' baby in the kitchen sink, She 'said it was. unsanitary and 1 would be ba- ler off to put the baby' in the bathtub. I tried the bathtub but My back bothers -me and 1 can't • stoop. . ' -Please tell her to mind her own business. She reads your colurnt •daily: FED UPSVILLF. ,Dear Fed: Your Mother -in -lav is right. You.should not bathe the .,baby..in the4 kitchen sink, but not for the reasons she mentioned. The child could hit • rst fs4,;:.-# air turn on the hot water and scald' him- A1J, St Amp, 'basin and put it on the table so you won't have tb. bend.
