The Wingham Advance-Times, 1967-03-16, Page 6Ann Landers MILLINERY PROJECT BLUEVALE--A group of la- dies, members of the Bluevale Women's Institute and their friends, have been enjoying a millinery project, the making of summer hats. They have been wearing the winter hats they made in the fall. There will be no problem now about being equipped for Easter. Mrs, Clifford Brewer and Mrs. Scott McLennan are the capable leaders. pear Ann Landers; Forgive the spelling, I am 82 years old and never went to college. want to reply to the man who objected to women being boss in the home, I have been mar- ried for over 60 years and I am Proud to admit that my wife is the boss and I am thankful, for her bossiness. When we Married I didn't have a pot to cook in or a win- dow to throw it out of. My wife bossed me into saving money whioh I surely would have frit- ted away foolishly, We now have a substantial savings account, 200 shares of A. T. & T. and a lovely home full of beautiful furniture—all paid for. My wife also bossed our daughter through college and some nieces and nephews as well. Any man who doesn't ap- preciate a smart woman to boss him is just plain crazy.—HAPPY TO DO AS I'M TOLD, Dear Happy: Some men need bossing and some women need to BE boss, You and your wife are fortun- ate that you found each other. Terrible things can happen when two bosses marry each other, • r• Dear Ann Landers: This letter is for the wife who signed her- self "Married to a Sports Nut." Yes, there is something worse than being married to a man who hooks his eyeballs into the TV screen every week-end. At least you are together. My husband was a "Work Nut"—always going back to the office. He was the' first one in and the last to leave. Every Saturday he was at his desk. And, oh, how I resented it! Now he is gone—after 25 years of marriage—and I am lost and lonely. Why do we' let the un- important things in our lives blind up to what is meaningful and preelous? Why must we suf- fer a :sudden tragedy" before we can appreciate how good it was? What does it matter if your husband enjoys his work so much that he'd rather do it than 15 other things? What does it matter if he throws his clothes around? What does it matter if he has to leave town two week-ends in a row? He'll be home in a couple' of days, won't he? We all think of widowhood as something that happens to other people—until it happens to us. I was one of the most contented people in the world and didn't know it. — ITS BLACK OUT THERE. Dear Black: Your letter echoes the sentiments of this column. I've been saying- tthe same thing for years and have been called a traitor to my sex. Thanks for backing me up, • • • Dear Ann Landers: Recently I received a notice from the school asking for volunteer mothers to supervise the child- ren during lunch hours so the teachers can have some "noon- dine quiet." My husband and I think this is preposterous. We feel that when we send our children to school we have the tight to ex- pect the teachers to take charge, We don't ask the teachers to come to our homes and do OUR Job. It seems to me that something is wrong with an educational system that expects mothers to come to school and supervise the children. Am I right? — ORLANDO MOTHER. Dear Mother You may be right, but I'm reserving judg- ment until I hear from an Or- lando teadher, What's the score down there? I would like to know. It Drinking may be "in" to the kids you run with—but it can put you "out" for keeps. You can cool it and stay popular.
