DEAR , ANN LANDERS;
• Don't, back down on tat
Rotterdam marriage ceremony
between two homosexuals. You
were :right, •I have before me the
full report as it appeared in the
Zurich press.
The "bride" was a -24 -year-old
blond. ' male. The groom was a
26 -year-old fellow whoowns a
prosperous and well know -111M.
Both': "bride" and Room wore
dark business. suits with white
carnations _in the lapels. -The_ -
"brii'de",ware a trace of • malteup •
and carried a white prayer book.
Her -- or his - inoi her cried
uen- - gulc�'' - bunds were -
exchanged. There were pledges
of lobe and. a. promise . to be
"faithful until death cfo us pafrt:"
After holy' communion and . a
' few sprinkles_ of water the
ceremony was over. Everyone
hugged' and kissed and left the
chapel t, to celebrate 'With
champagne before the
"newlyweds" left for a
honeymoon.
Dutch Catholics were enraged
when word of the wedding
:leaked t� the press. They are
now demanding that action be
taken against.. the priest who
celebrated the wedding mass.
The happy couple said, "no
matter what anyone says, it was
.a real wedding." • And that's the
straight, story. -- CHICAGO
DEAR CHICAGO: Straight?
Well - thanks for. the' story.
DEAR ANN LANDERS: We

rented this lovely apartment a
few days ago and signed a
three-year lease. This morning
(Sunday) we were practically
thrown out of our beds by the
ear-splitting sound of church
.a bells. The chimes started at 7
a.m. and rang every fifteen
utes until -noon.-I- have such
a _ headache I -can't see straight.
My husband is :furious that we
werenot told of this before we,
signed the lease.
We have talked to three other
families in . this building. Tfiey
are also miserable but because
it's a church they don't want to
complain. If. a tavern made this -
kind, of 'noise it would be shut

Watch Children -During Spring Cleaning
Itis spring, and your home probably never had it so good.
•
But what about your little chil-
dren while ydu are busy working,
especially -the ones under five
.years of age? Are they gbing to
benefit by that fresh, newly
Scrubbed and painted home? Or
are they going to be exposed to
harm because a busy adult forgot
to be careful?
Keep your eyes on the house-
hold, chemicals you are using,
says- the Council on . Family
Health, a non-profit organization,
sponsored by members, of the
drug, industry as a public service
to• promote safety in the home •
and family health. • •-
• Children can be very quick and
curious. They should not be' left,
alone .even for a minute with
potentially harmful substances.
When you are finished using•
household chemicals, put theth,,»
- away immediately, out of sight
anti --relic -trf 3;c ung z: --' _.--
Think of all the chemicals used
in a household today --bleaches,
soaps • and detergents, wall and .
lvuod'work cleaners, liquid And -
paste polishes and 'waxes, Moth;
balls and flakes, disinfectants
and deodorizers, ` and solvents
such as turpentine, kerosene and
gasoline.

housewife might use lye "prod-.

Each year• finds the list grow-
ing, as newproducts are discov-
ered to help, in refurbishing the
home. And each year, says the
Council, MothersOha've.to be just
that much more careful in shield-
ing small children from potential
poisonings.
