Dear Ann ,Landers: The other
day you printed a letter from a
Woman whQ complained because
a friend monopolized every con-
versation with "I, me, I did, I
went, I bought ... • etc." Every-
one knows someone who is sim-
ilarly afflicted. Will you please
print this simple essay? It might
help people get along together
a little better.
The' seven most important
words in English language are:
I made a mistake and I'm sorry.
The Six most important words
are: You did a very good job.
The five . most important
words ere: And ,what is your
opinion? -
The four most important
words are: How can I help?
The .three most important
words are: I appreciate you.
The two mostimportant
words are: Thank you.
Tho lonwt .important Word is I.

Dear J.D.K.: You did a vary
good job. 1 appreciate you.
Thank you,
Dear Ann : Landers: I agree
with your stand that the, host
couple should cut : off the liquor
before the guests get smashed
out of their minds. Further -
More, I think it . would be wise
to consider why people who put
on parties feel the need to
supply so much alcohol. Are
•they attempting • to impress
their friends with fancy labels?
Are . they fearful that the '
con-
versation will be so dull and un
interesting that they must an-
esthetize the guests? \
I have seen liquor ruin, more
good. parties, break 'up more
,..friendships and produce more
jackasses than I care to think
about. Unfortunately, the heavy
drinker is not an accurate judge
of how Much be can safely con-
suine; therefore, it becomes the
responsibility of the host couple
to put the cork in the bottle
before the boozers become thor-
oughly plastered.
Of coursesome folks will re-
sent being "rationed," but they
are the very ones who need to
be. If these people feel you are
ungracious and don't wish to ac-
cept your • hospitality in the
future, you have lost nothing.
—WHO NEEDS 'EM, ,.
Door Who: You expressed my
sentiments and 1 thank you.

Dear Ann Landers: I have
five grandchildren and they all
love me—all except the young-
est who is five months old.
From the first moment that
boy laid eyes on me he has
screamed his head .off every
time I enter the room.
I cannot for the life of me
figure out what cap. es him to
do this. It is very embarras-
sing, especially when outsiders
are present. I'm sure they must
think '''I have mistreated the
child in some way because it
is obvious the is frightened to,
death of me.
Please explain what would
cause _him to shriek so when-
ever I come near him. Whatzcan
I do to mike him like me?—
GRANDMA MABEL.
Dear Gr1pdma: Maybe it's
your hat, or your glasses, or
your hair -do. Or maybe you
lunge at him in your eagerness
NI be friendly.
My advice is don't ' push it,
Gram. Play it cool and; the little
guy will gradually warm dp to
you. I know someone who had
exactly the same problem -Me.

keeper at a Half -Way House in
the Bavarian Allis says many
people really start their climb
from there. Many never climb
higher and are later remorseful
because they missed Something
by not striving for the heights.
isir. Sweeney said life is like .
that. People ate satisfied with
half -way living rather than
going on to the peak of life
with Jesup Christ. —
When the pace of life is too
fast we become affected men-
