Dear Ann Landers: I like the
way you come straight to the
point. No pussyfooting. No min-
cing of words. Please don't let
me down. My husband has put
it to me, and now I em putting
it to you.
Ernie has a secretary who is
top-notch. Hilda .is a human
dynamo, knows as much about
the business as he does. (Maybe
more.) She practically ran the
company for the people Ernie .
bought it 'from two years. ago.
This girl is five years older
than my husband. ,She's built
like a Canadian out -house but
'her Face would stop an eight-
day do/IV/There is absolutely
nothing between Ernie and
Hilda and you tap bet your life
on it.
Question: They travel
together to conventions and
special • assignments. If, they
book themselves as Mr. and,..
Mrs. certain days in the week
the airlines give • them cheaper
rates. This is called The Family
• Plan. •
I don't mind. Do you?---
Ernie's Wife.
Dear Wife: What's it my
business? If YOU don't mind
it's all right with me. But if I
were in your place I would not
allow it. First of all, it's
dishonest. And have you con-
sidered that if something
should happen -and the
passenger list should show -a
Mr. and- Mrs. Ernie, you'd be
very embarrassed. There are
better ways to save a few
dollars and I' hope Ernie• -and
Hilda can figure them out.
Dear Ann Landers' I have
two children, three and four
years of age. When I put them
in bed for an hot? -and-a-half
nap from 12:30 p.m. to 2
o'clock, I like to nap myself. I
do all my own work and need
more rest than most people

since I had back surgery two
years ago.
The problem is my parents. I
have told them they are
,welcome to come by any time
morning, noon or night, but
NOT during nap time. They
ignore ine. Four' time* in the_
last three weeks they have
awakened me and, the children.
Each time I ask,,them NOT to
come by during nap time but
they say it's ridiculous to be a
slave to a schedule ---that
children are ,kdaptable and it's
"good for them" to learn to ad-
just. As for me, they say. -"You
can rest any time."
Will you please tell me if I
am wrong? What can I do to
get through to them, that the
days they come over and upset
my schedule I am a wreck by
dinnertime and the children
are fussy and irritable?---M.T.
Dear M.T.: You have a right
to nap whenever you please. In-
sure yourself of the privacy you
wish by doing as follows: At
12:30, lock the d'onrq. draw
shades and play deaf until 2:00.
If the doorbell rings, don't an-
swer. If your parents are
unable to raise you a couple of
times and ask where you were,
tell them you were napping.
They'll get the message. '
Dear Ann Landers: My
husband, Cal, and my father
never got along. Four years ago
we moved to the opposite coast.
It helped Cal's asthma.
We have spent two weeks
with Mom and Dad every sum-
mer since the move. Cal has.
broken out with hives regularly
like a clock, two weeks before
we leave for -the trip. He says
it's' because he is afraid of
flying.. He wants to drive this
year and I am deathly afraid of
highway travel. What should
we do? ---Trauma: His and Hers
Dear H. and H.: You flv and
let Cal drive. But I'll bet he' -Il
get the hives anyway ---because
his father-in-law is probably
the cause of. the eruption ---not
his fear of flying.

They had a company of 90

Candace finds that the major
'difference between' English and
Canadian theatre is that in
England, no matter how
original you think something is,
it's been done before. In
Canada you're always
pioneering.
Theatre is also well suppor-
ted by the British government.
Although an actor can make a
Niter salary here, arts grants
in England are ten times
larger.
Although she has had direc-
tor's training, Candace is now
acting mainly.
"I found myself directing like
a frustrated actress." she said.
"The director is really the eyes
of the audience but I wanted to
act in front of a real audience."
She admits that this might
change in the future bq for
now, she feels more creative
whf,&1 acting.
"A director just stimulates
good actors. Theatre is really
an actors' medium." she con-
tinued.
James Murphy, managing
director of the Playhouse in-
vited her to spend part "of this
summer acting with his corn-
pany. She is also the director of
the Apprentice Training
program.
"The apprentices this year
are very professional:' she said.
-"They know what they're doing
and it's absolutely marvelous."
She describes working arthe
Playhouse as "frenetic."

the plays is a good way to keep
the actors' 'interest, she thinks.
"If you work too long with
one director, friction develops
between him and the com-
pany," she said.
