ANN Daughter Inherited Mother's Obsession Dear Ann Landers: I am be- . ginning to think my mother was right. She once told me that there is not a decent, clean- » thinking man in this world. I'm convinced she knew what she was talking about. * I am 48, and have been mar- _ fied twice. Both my husbands were skirt chassers -- morning, 'noon and night. The office man- ager made a play for me the "second day I started to work . here. The window washers and » the janitor made goo goo eyes 'at me the same week, Yesterday the meter - reader * made an indecent proposal. This . morning the bus driver gave me a com-on wink of the eye. I am - 80 sick of sex maniacs I don't «know what to do. * What advice do you have? Is . there an escape? Please don't tell me to see a doctor for a , check-up. The last time I went » to see a doctor he propositioned me right in his office.--Desper- - ate - Dear Desperate: I think you ought to see a psychiatrist. But «make sure you select a female. And I am not kidding. Dear Ann Landers: I would like to say a word to the grand- mother who signed herself : "Beck and Call." She pras an- mnoyed because her married daughters used her as a sitter, a@ cook and a seamstress. They also had a habit of dropping off their children at her house when they went away for weekends. I am in the same boat, so I know how she feels. But the solution you suggested won't work for me. Here is my story: Several months ago my daugh- ter asked if I would take her children for four days while she and her husband went out of town. When I hesitated, she LANDERS about it, skip it.' She hungeup and would not speak to me for three months. I missed the chil- dren so much it almost killed me. Now when she asks if I will take her youngsters I say yes without hesitation. The price for refusing is more than I want to pay. Maybe you will say I am a darned fool, but I love my grandchildren.--Granny Dear Granny: Don't look now but your daughter is blackmail- ing you, and she is using her children as bait. I hope, for your sake, Mother, that there are no more at home like her. One is enough. Dear Ann Landers: I am 16 and going steady with one of the coolest cats in the senior class. We haven't done anything wrong yet and that is why I am writing. I believe in pre- venting trouble before it starts. Please give me some advice. After four dates I let Ronnie kiss me. Now that is all he wants to do. I can't get him interested in going to a movie, bowling, playing records or looking at TV. I even tried your formula of asking him questions about himself to get a good con- versation going, but no dice, Ann. Ronnie would rather make out than do anything. Last night he said if I cared for him as much as he cares| for me I wouldn't fight him on} this. I don't want him to ditch me, but I don't want to give in either. Please give me some) advice and fast.--Hanging On| By My Fingernails | Dear Hanging On: I'm typing) as fast as I can and I hope I) am not too late. | Give this creep a final no and tell him to stop pestering you or} to find another girl.

MYERS, PhD It's not what children say or how they say it that makes them stutter, but the way their parents listen to them and com- municate to them their own anxiety that the children speak well, So one may summarize what Dr, Wendel Johnson had -been|t telling parents and_ teachers about stuttering in children for many years until his recent death. He was director of the speech clinic of Iowa University where he served on the faculty for 30 years. Dr. Johnson arrived at his conclusion after making many studies of speech in young chil-|; dren. Among his many pub- lished studies was one in which he found that the average child between two and five repeats a sound, a word, or a phrase 45), times a 1,000 running words. ly PARENTS CONCERNED when this child's parents show concern over such normal repe- titions, the child may repeat more often, and soon be classi- fied by them as stutterers.

Certainly not. "Speaking has to be easy and effortless," he said. "Any con- scious effort impedes speech.
