| Facts Of Life Should be Taught by Dear An Landers: We are two teachers whose students a iceive five or six in one week. I have always considered chain ate between 10 and 12 years of letters a nuisance and have torn age. The questions they ask, about sex. and marriage indi- cate that they are getting abso- lutely no information at home. | On oceasion we have tele-| phoned mothers and suggested) that they discuss various as: pects of puberty and the begin-/ ning of life with their children, We fee) that home is the logical place to learn about these mat- ters. Some mothers expressed, shock and disgust that their children would be thinking! about "such nasty things." One mother told me, 'You can be) sure I will punish Johnny if he tries to get me to talk to him) about such filth."" | If parents refuse to discuss these matters with their chil dreh where are the youngsters! supposed to learn? What can we! do to help them?--Troubled. Dear Troubles: Fortunately, | sex education is at long last! being permitted in some public schools. Of course, home is the best place to learn about life and sex, but if kids can't get the answers at home, school is the second best place. Teachers asked questions; about sex and marriage should answer them frankly and hon- estly,.And they should have the| support of their principals and their board of education, They are doing the parents' job and they should receive thanks--not criticism. Dear Ann Landers: Periodi-| cally I receive chain letters. It) seems these letters run lagree with you. months, then suddenly I'll re-| in| grooming streaks. I won't get one for|cream or shaving will not them up. Two weeks ago our teen-age | daughter received a chain letter | which closed with these words: | "if you keep this chain going you will have good luck. If you break this chain your luck will be very bad," Gladys showed: the letter to me and asked my advice. I told her to use her own judgment but I let her know that | have always thrown them out, Gladys decided to do the same Don't ask me why, but ever since that day, the,poor girl has had one disappointment after another. She is convinced that the chain letter she destroyed is responsible for the jinx. Will you please say something in your column to set her straight? --Not Supestitious Dear Not: Of course there is no relation between the chain letter and your daughter's run of bad luck, but it's much easier (and conveniently face saving) to blame disappoint- ments on a chain letter rather than to accept personal respon- sibility for failure, You prob- ably can't sell this notion to Gladys now, but as time goes on and she becomes more fa- tional and mature (hopefully), she will see evidence on the other side which will persuade her.

KEEP IN TRIM Bulging Thighs By Special Exercise | By IDA JEAN KAIN Oh, to be swim suit shape, now that summer's. near! At this season, exercise re- quests focus on the thigh line. A skeptical reader writes: Tell us the truth, can thigh muscles be toned? My thighs are just plain flabby, with ugly pads of fat on the inner thigh line. My weight is normal, but my thighs look like those of-an old woman, I'm-only 40. I walk, dance, and climb stairs, but ob- viously these muscles are hard to reach. I'l] follow your exer- cise instruction to the letter. Another lament: 'I can't wear straight skirts or shorts because of a basketball bulge on the outer side of my upper thigh line. How can these bulges be banished?" The inner and outer thigh lines constitute muscular dead areas because they used little in everyday movements. It takes a special flexion and ad- duction action to tone the thighs. Here is an isometric toner Position: Use two dining room type chairs. Sit on edge of chair seat, with second chair in front of you within reach of extended legs. Movement: Separate your legs and place inside border of each foot against outside of facing chair legs. Press inward against chair legs. Hold con- traction for a slow count of six Relax, repeat five times. To 2 PR i oned tone outer thigh line, place out side border of each foot against inside of facing chair legs. Press feet outward. Hold. The second exercise is a sure toner for inner thigh line. Position: Standing, feet legs straight down, Have pillowed on arm Movement: Raise left leg about 12 inches sidewards and up. Hold. Now, raise right leg up to meet left leg. Hold for a slow count of six, return legs to floor and repeat five times Change sides and repeat. It's the bottom leg that gets the toning action. To banish the outer thigh line bulge, stretch, bend and hold the muscular contraction Position: Stand ng, feet well apart. Arch arms overhead, clasp fingers. Pull up with mid die muscles, pull in strongly so the diagonal abdominals which bound the sides of the hip just below waist area will be brought into action Action; Bend side- wards as far as comfortable. At the end of the bend, hold to a slow count of six. No move- ment, Come back to centre, pull slim again, bend to o pposite side and hold. Repeat five times, twice daily With this trio of exercises you'll see toning results in a isingle week. well head slowly east, ? The hustle and bustle of over|David Carey th gifts!
