The Wingham Advance-Times, 1968-01-25, Page 44 Page 4--Wingham Advance -Ti i eS. Thursday. Jan. 25. 1968 features from The World of Women Dear Alin Landers: You goof- ed. Recently you stated the record Or late childbearing was held by a woman 53 years of age, .I know a woman who gave birth to a child at the age of A0. Her name was Sarah. Her husband, Abraham, was 100. Let's see your fancy Harvard medical' consulant bail you out of this one, Baby. — THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT, Dear Nothing But: I wouldn't go to my Harvard medical con- ' sultant with this one because it is not a medical matter. It's a matter of Biblical interpreta- tion. ' I consulted two distinguished rabbis and was told there are several explanations. Take your choice. Five thousand years ago, time was reckoned according to lunar months. The 100 -year-old man in the Bible would be con, siderably younger according to pretzel -lee ce!teletiette. ° Then there is • the age-old , question of whether one inter- prets the Bible literally or as- surnes these stories were made up to illustrate a point. It was interesting-reme,, that .Sarah named her late arrival `Isaac which means 'laughter" becaus- at first she didn'tbe- lieve she could be pregnant and. thought it was a joke. The Bible doesn't `say when Sarahrstopped laugting. but l''ll bet it was shorthr after she received the definite word. * * * - Dear Ann Landers: I'd like to- respond • to the widow who asked, "Where. are the decent, . eligible men • hiding?" The- only unmarried men she met were described as ambulatory alcoho- lics, ntamak' boys or .worn-out swingers who wanted to travel on somebody else's money. , I'm a- ,university professor, nearly 50. I own' a . comfortable, .,mortgage free home,. • a well; planned garden and' have a. wide; range of interests., I've met doz- ens of tidy,. well-dressed, pleas- : ant ladies but not. one I'd care 'to 'marry. Why? Because they are so obviously shopping for, a husband that one can't escape the sales ,pitch, let alone the 'self pity, long 'enough to see the woman as a person. ` I'm not interested in buying a per- manent: housekeeper and''I'r not ,about to marry a woman because I feel sbrry for her. Remarkably few 'unclaimed and.' unattached females have anything to offer beyond phys- ical femininity. Their minds have stagnated at the 21 -year- old level. They know nothing about art, music, ' literature, sci y nce, current events or poli - ti They are superficial and du "1 -- unable to talk about ything beyond last night's TV programs. And I might add a woman who joins clubs and church groups to meet a man is pretty ,much of -a creep herself. --- WILLING BUT DISILLUS- IONED. Dear W But D: Surely. there are widows and divorced women around who can talk about something besides last nights TV' programs. If you dont see, them,. Ws because you don't want to see them. 1 suspect a truly bright woman , might threaten your bachelor status which would really. unhinge you, in spite of your protesta- tions. Stay single, .fella. *' * confidential to Pushed to the ,Brink: Sorry,. but you should not have clobbered him with the lamp.
