Hc:btt W s 'Dear Ann Landers;,.I was filled with`synrpathy for thewonuuiwho wrote' about the speech habit of a relative.. He got on her nerves by finishing every sentence with, "Ito you know what I mean?" I, too, had, a relative with the carne habit and it irritated me ' beyond endurance. Finally I de- cided to, break'' ier of it or diet in the attempt. The next time she made a sim. ple statement and tacked on the Usual, "Do you know what I mean?" I replied, "No, I don't know what you mean. I am an idiot. You must speak to me in one syllable words such as cat, rat and bat, if you expect me to follow your brilliant utterances." Corrects Clinton Bus Cost L. R. Maloney, business ad- ministrator at Central HuronSec- ondary School in Clinton says bus transportation costs to GDCI board were .35.7 cents per mile, not 59.98 cents per mile as previously reported. The correct figure is most compar. able transportation costs at all othei high schools in Huron. The higher figure had been supplied to Ross Lovett, Huron County reptresentative on GDCI board and he reported it to Huron County Connell November sess- ion. The same figure had also been supplied to township- repre. sentatives on the board for pre- sentation at nomination meetings on November 25. , Ina letter -to copncil, Ma. . loney explained "'the trans,. _ position of figures at th°e time the calculations were made" and noted the mix-up had not- cost anyone any money. The mistake was discovered after. George Clifton, Stanley . Township representative to GDCI board telephoned Maloney during the Stanley nomination meeting. Clifton • had - been questioned by Stanley Reeve Ernie Talbot con. cerning'the discrepancy in the cost of bus transportation as revealed in .a composite report to Huron County Council from all five high schools in the county. At the same meeting, Robert Peck, another Huron county representative to the board stat- ed he did not believe it was possible that Clinton's bus costs were nearly 40 per cent higher thar!' anywhere else in the' county and argued the costs "must be figured on a different basis."

I told her I was sick and tired of listening to her end every sentence with, "Do you know what 1 mean?" and I was letting her know She sai d she was -not aware of the habit and was glad I had told her. Believe it or not, she never again asked me if I knew what she meant. --Rezultgetter DEAR RE: Your solution might sound outrageous because few people have the nerve to deal with the problem as, you did, " but I applaud you. * * * Dear Ann Landers: I was in - interested in the letter from "Nothing Wife" -The Woman Who Is Living With a Drunk. Please 'don't expect anyone who has not been married to a lush to understand what she is talk- ing about. Judging from the num- ber of alcoholics in this country, however, there are thousands of people who do understand -and I am among them. My; husband is still slopping it up -telling, me he can take it or leave it alone -that liquor is no problem -that I am exaggerating and he doesn't drink half as much as I say he does. If he is sober three days in a row he expects me to kiss his feet. I sent for • your booklet "Alchglism-Hope and Help" and i� did me a lot of good, Ann. But it didn't do anything for my husband because he wouldn't read it. So what' do I do now, Ann Landers? - HOPE COME Nerves `DEAR HOPE: So now you tell yourself that you cannot help someone who refuse s to help himself. Stop yelling, threatening,„ cry. ing and agonizing. Write to A.A. Headquarters (look in the phone book) and ask for literature on Al -Anon. Some alcoholics con- tinue to drink as an act of hostility. When you understand the nature of alcoholism you might,change your attitude toward your husband and this could mo. tivate him to seek the help he needs. * * * Dear Ann Landers: I am a bachelor, 42, who is going with a woman 31. She has been sep. arated from her husband for sev- eral months. 'things were going along fine and we were talking about marr- iage, but now I'm not sure I want to marry her. The thing that bothers me is this. When I am in her apartment the phone rings constantly. She receives at least four telephone calls a night. All she says is, "Yes," "No," "Maybe" -and "I can't tell you right now." When she comes back to the room where I am sitting she says it was a girl friend or her mother or her sister. What do you think about this, Ann Landers? DUMBME DEAR DUMB: ,I think the lady has alliances she'd just as soon you didn't know about. Be aware that a woman who lies 'a little during courtship will probably lie a lot after she is married. tire's an idealgift forriristtnas Gaderich like City Boyle Recalls The Morris Township Feder.

Mr. Boyle wasguest' speaker at the •Federation} s annual meet. ing held in the Foresters' Hall Dec. 2. *Ie addressed a packed house, and was introduced by Tom Henderson, a former schoolmate, In his r-eniarks the speaker Said he could not get 'away with much at Belgrave for he was too well known, having been.born at St. Augustine and attended the W Ingham high school. He recalled a number of happenings during his youth, saying that as a boy hs em Wingham and hoderic. seemed to be real cities and London was ,so huge,„it was beyond imagin.

He also recalled John Pattison's �tiation at high school when a dish of worms turned out to be cold macaroni after the bliridfold was removed: He asked if many remembered old Ned, who racked up balls in Haselgrove's pool- room and wore a Confederation hat.

He flet that the isolation of farmers of days gone by i s now reduced, but the dependency of the farmer on the land creates acr isible of living for a. good life and growing up in the country is a wonderful thing. Mr. Boyle broadened his re. marks by referring tohis- doz. ens of trips across Canada in which he gained the impression that _ anada ,is a great country of its people. He.claim. ed -those who have the ability to write have an obligation and re. sponsibility to write about their environment. The - speaker suggested that while Canadian weather may be harsh at tim-es, he- had found living in -Mexico to be ' a complete bore as far as weather was concerned. He could not write properly because of this fact, although sunny skies and warm weather seemed like heaven at first.
