DEAR ANN LANDERS; I just came home from a wedding and I'ri thoroughly disgusted. Please tell me if I m "overreacting" as my wife see to think.. . What could have been beautiful religious ceremony turned out to be a Hollywood spectacle. As , the bride came down the aisle on her ,father's —fie--photographer-ste in front -of her and took pictures all the way to the altar. One photoraphers backed into the minister. The other fellow stepped on the bride's veil. Follosying the ceremony the guests . were pushed around, ordered to "stand over there" and "move aside." The refreshment table was guarded by a plainclothes officer until the bride and groom could pose with the cake. I was asked to be in one of the pictures — then told to "get out" because they wanted only out -of --town guests. Will you print your views on this problem? It is getting worse every year and there seems to be no solution. — SALT . LAKE CITY CIRCUS . DI;An SAL . wedding pictures can be a thing of beauty and a joy forever, but the dignity of the occasion and the friendship of the guests must not be sacrificed in the process. The best " photographers ,work inconspicuously. A briefing session before the ceremony, - outlining what is wanted and what is not wanted will save considerable, embarrassment. I recommend it. DI Alt ANN LANDERS: I was' intrigued by the letter from the girl who said ,;she was no beauty but every _ time she turned around she was propositioned by the dentist, the ?levatpr -operator,. the parking lot attendant, the butcher, etc. The wide:ey, ed miss swore the never gave anybody any encourag, ment, yet all men of all ages f ► and her irresistible. I hav • a theory about sexual magne. m. It is ,as follows: All ofe i es send out messages of kind'or another, consciously unconsciously. Body ents, word combination,.. ain,Acti4 in the eye, they all One girl signals, a butterfly, but I ''`itsnether-says, Anthony is a lovely baby, eight months old, of black and white parentage. From his picture it's easy to see this is a boy who is not only happy and healthy, but w 9 loves meal time! Anthony is. a big husky fellow with brown eyes, fine dark brown hair and light coffee colored skin. He is not at all shy, is friendly with everyone, chattering and laughing cheerfully. He especially enjoys attention from children. Members of his foster fainly feel he bas a real sense of humor and he is certainly a relaxed, good-natured boy who will be a delight to his new, permenent parents. This baby eeds a loving mother and father who will not be concerned ver rather limited information on his background. To inquire about adopting Anthony please, write to Today's Child, Department of 'Social and Family Services, • Parlia- ment Buildings,,. Toronto 182.

Still a• third says, "I'm not interested. Go jump in the lake." I'm convinced that every male, no matter how unsophisticated, is able to pick up these subtle messages and read ' them accurately. Do you agree? low about a reply in print? — A READER IN RYE DEAR RYE: Yes, I agree. The gal who gets propositioned every time she turns around ought to check her. dashboard. She probably left her turn signal on. - DEAR ANN LANDERS: I'm a 15 -year-old boy who thinks he might have a problem. Some of my feelings lately don't seem exactly, normal but I don't know how bad off I am. I broke my leg a year ago. It was a pretty bad break and I had to wear a cast for quite a while. Then I. went on crutches. I got so inuch attention with my broken leg I felt a real letdown when I had to give,it all up. • After a few weeks of being out of the spotlight I tried to break my leg again by. falling on it. I ,even jumped off the garage • rbof but I only sprained my other ankle. 4'' I'm afraid of what.I might do to myself next. If you say I am normal, I will forget it. Please answer in the paper. If my folks saw a letter from Ann Landers they would be mad at me for blabbing personal stuff outside the family. — WORRIED. DEAR WORRIED: npt going to tell a kid who has been trying to break his leg. that he is normal and to forget it. Make an affpoi }t1pent with your doctor and tell him what you told me. A kid who tries to maim himself to get attention needs more help than'I can give him. Your doctor rfll—reeomnniend`a-therap of -:r..— counselor. DEAR ANN LANDERS: Seven months ago my song started to go with a girl I didn't care for. When Goldie talked to, me she never looked me in the eye. She had an artificial smile — looked as if she was wearing a mask. Harvey bought Goldie some expensive presents, an FM radio, a set of matched luggage, and a rabbit ski jacket. In March he gave her an engagement ring . which cost $550. Last week Harvey told me the engagement was off because Goldie wasn't ready to settle down. When he asked her for the ring she said. "I hate to tell you this, but I lostit yesterday." Harvey figures he spent at least $2,000 on that phony. He says she knew all along she would never marry him. In other words, she played him for a sucker. He's in a state of shock., The girl acted as _though she worshipped the ground he walked on. What can he do about it? — VERMONT. DEAR VERMONT: He can wipe the egg off his face and kick himself around the block. The gifts belong to- Goldie. As for the ring — Harvey can hire a detective to check, periodically to see if the doll has "found" it. I think, Goldie worshipped the ground he walked . on because she thought there was oil under ,it. ' There's quite . a backlash these days from the middle- class against practically every- thing: welfare, subsidies, infla- tion, taxes and anything else that hurts where it hits. The squawkers, acid I join them once in a while, feel that there is a conspiracy among the government, the poor, the farmers, the skilled tradesmen, and almost everyone except the middle-class to grind the latter 'exceedingly small. I'm about as middle-class as Ahey`tmne: -:tlid-dle. 'age; .middle—.° income, mortgage, kids to edu- cate. And like all the other middles, I pay far too much in taxes. But once in a while, I take stock and; despite the grind- ing, find plenty to be thankful for. This week, I meta lady who is living .on welfare. Her hus- band, from whom she is separ- ated, contributes nothing. She has six kids to feed and clothe. There is no car, no treats, no frills, no little extras. Every month she is almost frantic with worry trying to make ends meet, just before her cheque arrives. If the older children can't get summer jobs, they can't go back to high school, because they won't have any clothes. One boy has been remanded 'Iv his principal for wearing jeans to school. They're the Only pants he has, and the R're e, an. • The total inco'rne of this fain- ' " ily ,ism' letss than many middle - ;people people payin income tax, sI .lady is not :well ,Ei n '4f e Could go to work, '1t would mean ded-ucfions from her wel- fare cheque. She's struggli.�rg desperately, but cheerfully, to (keep her family together and give them an education, And she's doing it, but walking the thin edge of real poverty. Why shouldn't the wheat farmer be subsidized? Many of our fatter -industries are, through tariffs and special, tax deals. The farmer works hard- er and longer for less money than anybody in the country. Wily shouldn't a skilled worker make ten thousand a year? He's going to pay plenty of' it in taxes. How can the government control inflation when the people demand more and more and more, w`:ile at the same time everybody is trying to get his snout into the trough. .Why shouldn't Indians get h sit . i e '�gatL lift .therm selves out of the degradation and squalor that has bec4-. forced on them? Frustrated by poverty and lack of education, they either cling to the com- munal life of the reserve, pr venture into ths world, get a punch of , discrimination, right on the . noise, and escape to drink. (Lots of them do on the reserve, too, but what else is there to lo? Weave baskets?) There's another group that I feel for, a large one. These are the elderly and the disabled. Sure, they get a pension., Try living on it, you middle-class cry-babies. Happiest of these are the born bums, who've always lived in a shack, never' paid b Take time to give thanks taxes, • insurance; and seldom rent, They're in clover, propor. tionately. But thcy're poor. Perhaps the saddest portion of this group is the elderly couples who worked hard, nev- er asked anyone for anything and saved for their old age. They may have a small pension from the job, or even some savings bonds. • And now, ready to spend a few golden years, their .pen- sions and bonds are halved in -value;their-living-costs They. can't pay the taxes and have to sell the home they've sweated for and move into a couple of rooms. Thereward for 30.40 years of honest toil. It's , enough to make one join the hippies. It's a great country. But next tithe you start whining because you can't quite afford a second car, think of the farmer whose wheat can't be sold, the plumb- er who cleans .your stinking drains, the Indian who fought in the war and can't get a job, the doughty woman battling for her family, or the little old lady sitting alone in a fur- nished, room, living on -bread- and tea until her cheque comes. • PLEASE NOTE My :STORE WILL BE CLOSED U`ING 'THE M'NTH OF JULY FOR AI `N1 AL .0 ATION OPEN AGAIN IN AUGUST TO HELP 'YOU WITH YOUR PROBLEMS AND SUPPLY' YOU WITH QUALITY PRODUCTS.
