DEAR ANN LANDERS: I
intended to write this' -letter
eight years ago when my motherr"
died of cancer. I'm late, but the
Message is still the same. It's
addressed to all children who
still have a mom or dad.
We buried my father ten days'
ago. He died of a heart attack.
There was absolutely no
warning. He was `in his middle
fifties, -strong, handsome and he.
seemed to be in the best of
health. He had had no history of
heart trouble; ie fact, . n4 medical
problems of any kind.
The last words I had yvtth him`
were the night, before "he died:
He ,was ekplait1ing in detail
something he . had planned for
• ne,1wasp-'t-very-•-exerted about-
it
boutit and- I could see he was
disappointed. I didn't even say
thanks.
The lixst thing I thought of
whenthe doctor said, "He's
gone," is that I hadn't had a
chance to show `my dad how
much he meant to me. It
suddenly occurred to me that I
had had plenty of chances - but
I never used them. The best
example Was the night.before he
died.
I hope every kid who reads
this will ask himself, "When was
the last time I showed
appreciation or love for my
parents?" It's too late for me,
but I hope those who still have
the chance will take it. :-
LAURIE
DEAR LAURIE: Here's your
letter, I can add nothing except
my thanks, -putting your
thoughts down on paper, ,
DEAR ANN 'L'AIVDERS: I'I1
get right to the point. There is
no time to waste: I have a strong
hunch that my -wife- is practicing •
prostitution. We ,both have good
jobs and don't need the money.
Prostitution is illegal in
'California and 1' would hate- for
my wife to have a police record.
The publicity would be very
hard on the kids and on me, too.
My boss wouldn't stand for it.

MONTEREY
,DEAR MONTEREY: The law
should be the least of• your
worries' 4 in fact, you seem, to
:be eoncerned about all the
wrong things. Talk to your wife
'at once. If your hunch is right
she needs professional help.
• PEAR ANN LANDERS: My
daughter -in -la' v gave my son a
beautiful can opener for
Christmas. L He- knew my can
opener was not in very good
conditioh so he gave me their
old one. My daughter-in-law
raised Cain. She said shehad
another- .placer~for-the--old--e
opener and he had no right to
give it, without
away
her
pertnission, Every time she came
to my house she made a remark
about how much' she missed her
old can opener.•
After three months of
listening to her gripe 1 wrapped
up the old --can opener and gave
it back . tc her. She. as
embarrassed but glad. to have it.
What is your opinion of this?

Somebody ought to do- some-

too flexiblb. It's supposed to be
a time of rebirth and rejoicing.
Bet you can't really be swept
away by a 'feeling of rebirth
and new life when there is still

and the wind cuts to the mar-

I'm not knocking 'Easter. I
like it. I love the sackcloth and
ashes •feeling, and the gloomy
dirges of Good Friday,- when
even the pubs are closed. And
there is a joy and triumph in
the Easter Sunday hymns that
can't be surpassed, I think,
even by the Christmas carols.
Easter is also one . of the
days that keeps many of our
churches from becoming -ex-
tinct. Some primitive instinct
brings' out. the wayward, the
fallen, the sinners, and the
Baster Sunday collection -is the

lay her eggs. We caught her
twice in the fireplace, casing
the joint.
But I .thought :it was at least

When we put her out, . she

I " j'ot home for lunch, from a
Saturday bonspiel, and was
chatting with my wife in the
living room, boring her- with
the shots I had almost made.
Pip was sitting on the best
chair in the' room. She was
acting in a rather peculiar
fashion, stretching her legs in
all directions. I remarked on it.
My wife agreed and went over
to look at her..BLAM! Tao late.
With one a fell swoop, .
snatched her up.. ,and deposited~
her on a blanket,. end

We were as delighted as she
was, and had a glimmer of that
feeling grandparents must
have when the first grandchild -
arrives. What really shook me,
'though, was my wife's reaction.
Normally, if anyone drops so
much as a crumb, a bit of ash,
or a drop of coffee om her
precious furniture; all hell
breaks loose. And there's her
good Chair, with a great stain
on it, and she tosses it off as
nothing.
She became all soft --arid '
motherly and was heating milk
and tucking .in the kitten and
lifting it on her hand to look,
