Clinton News-Record, 1967-08-17, Page 12Clinton Newsdtecord, Thursday, August IT, 1967 CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST SMILE Dear Ann Landers: My fav­ orite sister js one of the kind, ©st, dearest people in the world. She has a heart as big as •gilj outside apd there isn’i a mean bone in her body, The problem is that she ip so ir­ responsible that she drives me ( and everyone else who adores her) straight up the wall. Example: “Crazy Eleanor” (as she is lovingly known to her intimates) just gof around to sending out her Christmas cards. Ours arrived yester­ day. cjoee examination, re* vealed that the -greetings were for 1965. She scribbled across the top- ”Kol?ody is Perfect.” Eleanor never R.S^VfP/^, She just shows up — Oy sAe doesn’t show up. Np one has ever received a thank-you note from her, Jf she sends gift it is any whey e from six months to a year late. Yet when people are ip trouble. Crazy Eleanor is the first one on the scene. When my husband had a heart attack she didn’t leave my side for 36 hours. When her neighbor’s child was seriously injured in a car accident, <shp took oyer their household for 10 days. What can be dope about a person like this?-YULETIDE IN AUGUST Dear August: Nothing, Just love her for her good, ness and don’t expect her to conform to the social amenities because she is too disorganized and un- disciplined, We all know a Crapy Eleanor whose . scatter- brain antics we abhor but whose good qualities heav­ ily outweigh the bad, so accept her as ' she is warts and all, STATE FARM ••Contact me for savings on car insurance. Riding with "the world’s largest car insurance company means you’ll get the world’s best car insurance value. Let’s talk!’* Pear Ann Lenders: Please say a word to mothers of girls. Here are two examples tliat make me wonder what this world is coming to: Last week pur 14-year-old daughter ran into a school chum at the fair, (She brought Mary Alice home and asked if it was all right if ‘she had dinner with us and spent the night. I didn’t like the Idea but they begged me so I said O.K. I have never seen the girl before and her parents don’t know me from a load of goats. I waited all even­ ing for her mpther to phone me but she never did. Finally I called hey. Last year our 17-year-oJd gon wept steady with Linda who was 15. She used to sleep oyer at our house two nights >a week, Linda’s mother never once telephoped to see if her daughter was here.- She could have been any place. My hus. band and I never left the kids alone in the house so we are sure nothing wrong went on. Bpt how did her parents know ■THAT? Please tell American mothers it is dangerous to let their young girls run loose. Thank you very much - GLAD MY TWO YOUNGEST ARE BOYS Dear Glad: I agree, some mothers allow their daughters entirely too much freedom, but you are pretty permissive yourself lady. Allowing your 17- year-old son’s steady to sleep at your home twice a week is not my idea of how to raise teen-agers. Girls or boys. pear Ann Landers: Recently our daughter-in-law gave birth to her first child. The little boy was a >blue baby and had trouble breathing, Several people brought gifts to the hos- pital and sent gifts to the house. The day they brought the baby home he died. Should the young couple re­ turn the gifts? Please advise us as they want to do the right thing but they don’t know what it is. - SAD GRANDMA Dear Grandma: The gifts need not be returned. They should be put away, out of sight, Apd let’s hope the young popple has ahealthy, normal clilld soon, Obituary MRS. ELL,A MASON AW* f .4 I WANT ADS AR£ Inexpensive & Productive !

The dates on the present stone go back to 1853 and no doubt earlier markers havebeenlost. Early pioneer names on the stone are such familiar ones in our township such as Wise, Cook, Deeves, Johnson, Cole, Sheppard, Trewartha, Jenkins, Connell, Lobb, Miller and ■ others. Even though Holmesville’s old board sidewalks have dis­ appeared and its picturesque little footbridge over the little stream that wanders through the village have gone, we are still grateful for those who struggled to make it such an interesting place in which to live.
