Twin beds save marriage
... Dear, Ant aindeirs - Witfii the
▪ divorce rate zooming upward,
people need all the help they can
get. Please don't think I'm a nut
but I ane convinced that twin
beds saved. olir marriage. So is
my husband.
When we were first married
we slept in, a. double bed and
were fighiing all the time. My
husband wanted`a hard mattress.
I preferred a medium -soft one.
One light. blanket' was enough
for him. I needed. tWo. Worse
yet, he was a restless"sleeper and

Our sex life was terrible
because we were always mad at
..anal other. Why it took me four
years to get smarty I'll never
know,, Finally I did the sensible
thing sold the single bed and
got twin beds.
I bought a hard mattress for
him and a medium -soft one for
myself, I_put one blanket on his
- bed and two blankets on • mine.
Now,r4 sleep through the night
and am no longer battered , and
bruised. We are a happy couple
and our sex life is wonderful. It
would be no exaggeration to say
we probably would be divorced
today if ' I hadn't gotten rid of.
that single bed. -,, Contented.
Dear. Contented: Thank you
for letting us know how you
found togetherness apart. I've
heard it said most marriages
break up between midnight and
7:00 a.m. I'm • beginning- to
believe it.

no obligation to inform her
fiance about past indiscretions, I
do a slow burn: Stich advice
encourages girls to he and be
morally loose'„.. The bride who
brings to the marriage bed a
virginal body and a clean
conscience would not need to
' say, "What I did before I knew
you is none of your business."
What's more, Ann Landers, the
bride' . who makes such a
statement has probably done
plenty.
Instead a giving such terrible
advice, why don't you tell girls
not to do things they might lie
ashamed of later? — No Adinirer
of Yours. -
Dear No: For fifteen years I
have been telling girls, not to do
things they might be ,ashamed,of
lateri Unfortunately,, most ofrthe
girls who write ' to me have
already done thing's they're
ashamed of -- which is why they
are writing.,
Let's face it, there just aren't
enough virgins to go around.
One of the reasons for the
shortage is that some boys use
stupid or naive girls as a testing
ground for their masculinity:
A real man does not demand
a purity oath. He is willing to
accept his girl as she is. The girl
who "confesses all" (usually
under pressure) regrets it to her
dying day. I've had dozens of
letters from wives who say, "My
husband begged me to tell him
everything. Now he throws my

confessions may be good for the.
soul,' Honey, but ,such
confessions have destroyed
countless marriages.
Dear Ann Landers I 'don't
mind when my sweetheart drives
a mile to avoid letting k biacke
cat cross his path or refuses to
light three on a match. But he is
carrying things too far when he
won't even look at an apartment
because it is on the 13th floor,
He's a wonderful person —
kind, loving, and a joy to be
with but his superstitions ,worry
,roe. Maybe he's not as bright as I
thought. ' Dg superstitions mean
anything? Is he a little batty? —
Bilox,i
Dear Bil: Superstitions bear
no relation to , sanity or
intelligence, They are hang ups
left over from childhood: He
sounds like he'll be a wonderful
husband. Knock 'on wood.

It's
, hard for the average chap to get
away from the daily bind: wife, kids, job,
mowing the !win. He's fortunate if he°can
sneak a game of. golf or get out fishing,
without experiencing a deep guilt feeling.
This weele I did it, have no guilt feeling,
and spent one of the most enjoyable days
I've had in years. •
A colleague who.,is an ardent, crafty
and persistent angler, ' and ' Is leaving the
areas decided to treat me to a day's fishing
at . one of the secret places he has
reconnoitred over. the years, and would
rather sell „his wife and children into
slavery than reveal its location.
'He doesn't have to worry. It took us
three. .hours t+o get on the lake and
couldn't find myway back there with the
help of a bloodhound handcuffed to a'
Mountie., We began 'on highways that
dwindled. to gravel concession roads that
shrunk to mountain -goat paths that ended
in solid bush:
We crossed a couple of bridges that
looked as though a well-fed family of
butterflies couldn't walk across them
without going through. And we were in a
van, with a boat in the back. On each -
occasion, I felt something in my mouth,
and .knew it wasn't my foot, but my
heart. ,
But finally, there was the lake, lovely
and utterly solitary. Just, us and the bugs.
And we were outnumbered about eight
million to one. Mosquitoes the size- of
star) ings.
Those beasts lapped up fly dope like
kids licking ice cream. You could have

believe that a man could go insane in a
very shorttime, along in the bush.
Whilb ashore,,in thick bush, I could put

remove it with a solid handful of blood
and mashed moquitoes..Infive minutes •
my heacLwas a phrenologist's delight — a
solid mass of bumps and blood.
But once on the lake, we got a
modicum of relief. And the fishing was
very pleasant. It was one of those too -rare
summer days that are ideal. for fishing; +'
Cloudy, odd flash' of sun, threat of rain,
and just enough breeze to ripple the
surface.
We trolled and ` chatted and ate
sandwiches and had a slug of rum. It must
have been the last item that did it. After N
more than an hour without even a snag, I
was caught on bottom, right after we'd
had a snort. We backed up to try to save
the ,lure, and suddenly the bottom began
to move,
I knew it w,asn't a real fish. A speckled, t`
rainbow, or bass, will fight, jump and try
to snag you. under the boat. This was an
old rubber. boot. Besides, there were no
rainbow, speckled or bass in thislake.
After five minutes of praying that my
rotten line, un -used for two -years; 3
wouldn't break, I caught a,glimpse of him,
and my suspicions were confirmed. Just a
dirty big sucker I'd probably hooked by
the tail.
Oh, well, I had to get my lure. So I
dragged him up, 'MY' partner netted him,
and with considerable chagrin I discovered
I'd caught a 51/2 -pound lake trout. Sneaky '—
devils go for the bottom instead of
coming up and fighting.
Another hour without a touch and we
decided to move into `.the other secret
