ANN'
LANDERS
Dear Ann Landers: It's an old
story to you but it's keeping
me up nights. I need help.
`She is married and has a fam-
ily. I do. too. We work in
the same building and have
lunch together whenever we
can. 1 see her one evening a
week. She is supposed to be
doing volunteer work. I atria
supposed to be checking sub-
urban operations.
There is no sex involved. We
lust enjoy listening to each
other's ideas on philosophy. She
reads a lot of high class maga-
zine articles and things like
that. Our friendship „is "Very
educational.
Please tell uS we are riot hurt -
ng anybody as long as nobody
knows. She is a wonderful per-
son. Ann, and there is absolute-
ly nothing I wouldn't do for her.
Also, there is absolutely nothing
she wouldn't do for me. .What
do you say?—Landers Fan.
Dear Fan: I say you sound
like two people who are doing
absolutely nothing for each
other.
Better she should clip out the
magazine articles and hand them
to yoy. The weekly seminars
could lead to more trouble" than
.either of you need,

Dear Ann Landers: I'm a 13 -
car -old girl with a big problem°
•My aunt and uncle live next
Qioor. Their daughter Suzy and I
re best friends. I go next door
?o see Suzy• every day. Some
.lays I go over three or four
times.
Yesterday Suzy was supposed -
,0 be mowing the lawn. Aunt
Fora came outside and spw us
:alking. She said, "Why don't
0
you go home so Suzy can do
:her work? You are over here
•onstantl •." Then s ,e gave me a
•hove, toward our iouse.-
I cried when I got home and
told my mother. She Was very
hurt. too. Should I never speak
Aune. Cora again or should I
hide my real feelings?—Treated
Mean.
. Dear Treated: Don't do either.
admit that you've been a pest.,
Instead of going to Suzy's
every day, invite her to your
house. And when you do go
over there, don't stay too long.
The best way to keep yourr wel-
come bright 'and shiny is by
giving people less of you than
they want. This is a lesson many
adults never learn.
Dear Ann Landers: I know you
are writing a column on house-
hold hints but I run a launder -
mat and what goes on down
there because of dumb women
has become more than a financ-
ial problem. It is now emotional
too. Please, Ann, say a few
words to the millions of Am-
erican idiots who are breaking
machines left and right because
of stupidity.
Please tell these women they
are not saving anything by load-
ing six bed sheets, five bath
towels and three table cloths in
one machine. The agitator can-
not move properly with such
a load and the stuff is no clean-
er at the end of the cycle than
when they put it in.
I have had women yell at me
because their clothes came out
dirty. When I tell them they
expect- 'miracles from the :Ilia --
chine they call me a crook. They
even blame me when the dye
from a cheap purple house dress
or a pais of blue socks runs
all over the white towels.
I have seen worsen in my
place read your column and I'm
sure they can't read anything
else .in English so if you print
t -his you. will be helping a lot
of people.—Counting On Ydu,
Dear Counting: Here's• your
letter and I hope it helps.. It
also' might help if you post a
sign- iris five languages stating
the limit (in numbers) of sheets,
blankets, shirts and towels that
can be put into a machine.
Some folks need to have every-
thing spelled out for them, so!
spell- it out, Bub.

SaIkeIdCarved GaveLFrom Sunken Ship
Joseph Salkeld of R.R. 2,
Goderich, whose hobby is wood-
working, carved the unique
gavel presented to J. Loluis Mc-
enna of the Kings County
Record, Sussex, N.B., on his re-
tirement as president of the
Canadian Weekly Newspapers'
Association, at the association's
annual convention in Saint John,
N.B.
The gavel, with accompanying
anvil, was made from a piece
of oak plank recovered fron a
British Merchant .Ship sunk
sometime between 1790 and
1830 off Sandy Point, five miles
from Deer Island, Charlotte
County, N.B. The piece of oak,
-which had turned black as a
result of 160 years under the.
salty sea, was provided by the
New Brunswick Museum to The
Royal Trust Company, which
made the presentation to Mr.
McKenna.
The presentation was made by
Tommy Lee, former summer
resident of the Goderich area,
who had asked Mr. Salkeld to
make the -gavel. .
'It was the second special
CWNA "presidential gavel” 'to
be carved by Mr. Salkeld for a
ceremony which is becoming a
CWNA tradition.
Richard Lindo, assistant curs=
tor, department of Canadian
history, New Brunswick Mu-
seum, described "the Deer Is-
land shipwreck" story — the
story behind the gavel as
follows:
"On Jan. 8, 1964, Reginald
Richardson, JAy of Lord's Cove,
Deer Island N.B. brought to
the museum .an .assortment of
articles which he had found
while fishing for scallops off
Sandy Beach near Deer Island,
These objects, consisted of sev-
eral pieces of chinaware, a
brass candlestick, one piece of
grape -hot, one piece of bar -
shot, several cannon balls, one-
half of a small grist mill and
several wine bottles.
"On Feb. 26, Mr. Richardson
returned with a large quantity-
of
uantityof chinaware, kitchen crockery,
more cannon balls, bantshot,
chain -shot and a second -half of
the grist mill; also several
sheaves in several sizes made
from lignum vitae wood. It was
then possible to date the prob-
able wreck of this ship to the
last part of the eighteenth cen-
tury..Of the dozens of articles
brought to • the surface, ,nothing
post-dated 1790. , Samples of
china and pottery fron the
wreck were sent to the Victoria
and Albert Museum in London,
England, and the date of the
year 1790 was verified by John
Cushion of the ceramics depart-
ment.
§amples of rope found were
sent to the Smithsonian Institu-
tion and Mr. Howard Chapelle,
curator in charge of the divi-
sion of transport, stated that
this had come from a "well -
found vessel of the eighteenth

century."
"A wine bottle full of liquid,
which had been brought to the
surface intact, was analyzed by
the Moosehead Breweries in
Saint John as being a cheap
grade of table wine which had
deteriorated. One of the wine
bottles was sent to the Corning
Museum of Glass in °New York,
and they reported that the age
of the bottle confirmed the date
1790:
"To date the ship itself has
been measured and, as closely
as it is possible tp determine,
the wreck is figured to be 200
feet long by 30 feet in width.
Deck beams measure from 14 to
20 inches wide and about 41
inches thick. Parts of the hatch
covers have been brought up
and the boards are nine feet
long, and the opening appears
to be at least six feet wide. The
frame of the hatch is 11 incli:s
by 11 inches thick, some sheaves
are 18. inches in diameter. The
vessel still contains hundred.;
of shot and shell, despite the
many tons already brought to
the surface.
"Through the identification of
a number of the objects recover-
ed it seems probable that the
wreck was a British merchant
ship under charter to the de-
partment of ordnance,, dating
between 1790 and 1830. "
"Objects recovered from the
wreck are on display in the
marine gallery of the museum.
Most of the objects recovered
have been treated for 'preserva-
tion in the museum laboratory.
"The wood for the, stand and
gavel is from an oak plank from,,
the ship. An analysis of this
plank to further identify it will
be done shortly.
