10 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, June 13,1967 ANN LANDERS Girls Not Always In Wrong On Date Dear Ann Landers: You have Often stated that the girl is re- sponsible for whatever happens to her on a date. I am sure you know what you are talking about most of the time, but there are exceptions to every rule. Please print my letter as an example of an exception. Sixteen years ago I was a lusty swinger. (In those days we called them "'hot shots.") I had a yén for a girl who was barely 15, three years my junior. She was an innocent, fresh-faced, luscious country bumpkin--and stacked. I asked her for a date and she was thrilled. After the movie we parked on a lonely road. I gave her a ridiculous line about how I had fallen for her months before and had been dreaming of her ever since. In almost no time at all I had my way. I realized promptly that it was her first sex experience and she didn't know what in the world it was all about. Her only question when I saw her to the door was, 'Does this mean we are going steady" I replied, '"'No, it doesn't." She} broke down and wept and slammed the door with me on the outside. I never asked her for a date after that because I was too guilt-ridden. When we met in the halls at school I couldn't even look at her. Dozens of times I wanted to go to her and say, "I'm sorry,"' but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Sixteen years have passed and I still can't erase the mem- ory of that girl's frightened, tear-stained face. I am writing in the hope that this letter will prove that it isn't always the girl who decides. Sometimes a smooth-talking, older fellow can take advantage of an innocent Dear One Who Did: Thank you for your letter, but my statement still stands. You did not chloroform the girl. She should have had the sense to say no. I feel sorry for the poor thing but she was stupid and weak and she paid a big price. Dear Ann Landers: My brother and his wife have two adorable daughters, five and seven years of age. I love my little nieces as if they were my own children. They love me, too. Last year my brother and his wife were divorced. He is very resentful and has been trying to get even with his wife by not paying her the support money she desperately needs. Because of this she will not let me see my nieces, Her reasoning is that if I get lonesome enough I will give her the support money myself or put pressure on my brother so-he will come through with it. I have told my sister-in-law This ruffled doily is ex- travagant in appearance, only; is easily fashioned in chains and double and treble DOILY OR DRESS crochet. For a perky edging tiny picots peek from the ruffles and if you agree it is pretty enough to be worn, this is unfair. She says she has to try everything she can think of because she needs the money to live on and "anything goes." Your opinion is wanted.--| Dear Alma: The poor wom- an's thinking is frightfully kinky. If she wants to have her ex-husband put in jail for fail- ing to support his children she can do it. But she should not penalize you. I hope she will see this and reconsider.

MYERS, PhD When a younger child in the family overtakes an older brother or sister at school and in ordinary skills at work or play the elder one may suffer severely. Whereas we parents don't wish to curb excellence in the younger one, his excellence may discourage the elder child. In the first place, the younger may by nature have superior ability, though this may not al- ways be so. In any event, the problem is difficult for all per- sons concerned. A mother from the State of Washington with three children from 5 to 9 writes of the older two, who are 9 and 6%: "The elder, Pam, in the third grade, is having great difficulty in school, especially in reading. Her younger sister, Marie, in the first grade, can read more rapidly, with more expression and attacks new words with zeal. She is the top reader of her class. "T am worried that Pam will give up trying when her sister can do better than she. She hates to try new things: bike riding, roller skating, anything that requires skill to develop. Her younger sister, about the same height and size, will try saving and excels. Most of Pam's friends swim and when we went to the pool Pam was left out. She was doing quite well by the time the season was over, but not as well as her younger sister. HAS FEW FRIENDS "So far Pam hasn't been able , ito excel in any area over Marie except in deportment.

She still will not talk to people she doesn't know, like the store clerk. She has very few friends and only wants to watch TV and play with small dolls alone. She con- stantly says no one likes her at school. "It's a dreadful battle to get her to do her homework. She often puts it off until 8 p.m. and then when she can't finish it I make her go to bed. She fears school the next day be- cause she doesn't have her homework completed. In the morning, however, she goes off to school without any fuss. "I can see many things in her life that might take her self- confidence, I would like to know in what areas I can help her|. acquire self-confidence. I do get impatient with her at times. For instance, she will ask me to spell a word for her--like cre- ative. I will tell her to sound it out and I will help. She starts to cry and says she can't. Her younger sister will come in and, hearing what is going on, will promptly sound it out and spell it for her. I have tried to keep Marie occupied. elsewhere when Pam and I are working on homework but it is difficult to do," My reply in part: Your problem is not easy. It's sounding out a word, At almost any cost in effort I hope you don't have this younger child present when you help. the older one. guess that you parents would be very smart to employ a tutor for this older child and have the child go to the tutor's home hour a day or so. CONSIDER CAMP It's my for instruction half an I'm wondering if Pam might not profit from some experi- ence in a summer camp or in some other group activity, in which her sister does not par- ticipate. Anything you can do to help the older one gain pleasure from success at something should be helpful. Do try to play up her good traits.

ANSWERING QUESTIONS Q.--Do you have faith in pun- ishment to cure a child of lying?

By ELEANOR ROSS The kend visiting is upon us and it should be a pleasant one for host as well as guests if everything has been well planned. For example, sleeping ar- rangements should be geared to your space and the maximum number of guests you generally expect to accommodate. A studio couch or a sleeper- sofa should be part of the living room furniture and a hi-riser in a child's room can hide a bed for a young visitor. Lightweight aluminum fold- ing cots with foam mattresses are ideal extra beds. Avoid using regular sofas as beds. If you keep a crib on hand for visiting infants, supply a plastic-covered mattress; then give it a good sudsing after the little visitor leaves. Camp cots topped with air mattresses take little storage space and set up quickly. These are especially good for small fry since any "accidénts'" can be swabbed off with hot suds. Worn sheets from larger beds can be cut to fit narrow beds. which should also provided with clean pads. Mark a corner of each sheet size and mattress pad with colored thread to help sorting and stacking after laun- dering.
