20 the oxamlner Wodnooday Oct 26 1977 Ann Landers Says wives are parasites Dear Ann Landers This is for that nutty housewife in Dal las who wrote to say how hard she works just raismg family The truth is that the American housewife is glori fied parasite She does nothing but amuse herself 95 per cent of the time wonder if you know how many hours the average home bound slave nds looking at TV yakking on the tele phone kaffeek atching with neighbors and reading trashy magazines It takes only minute to change diaper The cooking cant require more than half an hour for supper Most husbands dont come home for lunch any more Laundry takes about an hour weekand the machines do the work So they clean the house maybe and wash floor or two This uses up an hour at the most Big deal The real heroines are the women who run the house and hold down an eighthour job besides have lot of respect for them They also seem to have independent well behaved kids who know how to do things for themselves Whats more their husbands do less running around and their marriages seem to be working So lets hear it for the little lady who can run home and help her overworked husband pay the hills which are stag genng these days Thumbs down on the lazy complamers who call themselves homemakers when in reality they are freeloadersSeen It All Dear Seen It Since your mind is not only closed but nailed shut wouldnt attempt to point out the foolishness of some of your statements You make no distinction between the woman who has single child and one who has sixand when you say cleaning the house and washing floor or two takes an hour at the mostoh well whats the use Ive let you have your say because this column represents everybodys point of view ut since its MY column reser ve the right to have the last word And my word to you is BULLFEATHERS Mister Dear Ann Landers You are probably sick of letters about toilet paper by this time but hope you will print one more It should put an end to the hassling once and for all My husband works for paper company They sell the best known brand of toilet paper in the country wont name it because know you wont print it When he read all those letters from people who were ex laining the proper way to put the roll on the dispenser lie laughed and said The correct way is so obvious dont know how people can miss it Then he pointed out that the fancier toilet tissue is embossed with desi ns and color It is made so the paper comes over the top an rolls down on the outsidw not to the wall If placed the other way the design would not show It would be the same as hanging your prin ted draperies with the pattern to the window and the lining on the outside NOW do you understandSign Me Right Side Lp Dear Right Gotcha And this is the last letter am printing on the subject so if anyone has anything more to saytell it to somebody else Sliding rugs draw blank DEAR POLLYI hope you have an answer to my problem My husband wanted walltowall carpeting in our new home and wanted to keep our oriental type area rugs for the dining room and living room He got his carpeting and put the rugs on top of it but these rugs creep up and will not lay smooth Our rug man has no suggestions and do not know what to doFLORENCE DEAR FLORENCEI am afraid you won but you lost too Several rug and carpet installers have also told me that yours is problem for which they have no answer There are things that can be done when rugs are on wood floors but not when on top of carpet How about this readers Have any of you stumbled on to an answerPOLIY DEAR POLLYWhen carrying canned drinks in six pack cooler keep them very cold by making the sixth can an ice can by filling an empty can threefourths full of water and freezing Better to have five cold ones than six lukewarm onesANNA DEAR POLLYWhen my foot socks footsies become worn on the bottom apply an ironon patch to cover the hole or even thin spot prefer blue jean material but any heavy type can be used and my socks certainly wear lot longerMRS DFR DEAR POLLYBefore storing baby shoes make sure they are clean and very dry put in plastic bag add used fabric softener sheet like we use in the dryer and then seal If you have to fix lot of pancakes waffles or French toast for breakfast for number of kids use shears to cut them into bite size pieces before adding syrup new plastic pot scrubber with one or two strings pulled away for handle makes good quiet toy to amuse youngster while in church or other public gathering Used plastic place mats are great to use to lay baby on when changing his diapersEMILY DEAR POLLYMy Pointer is for those doityourself painters who often get more paint on themselves than on what they are painting When using an oil base paint found clean up is easy when you use petroleum jelly and clean cloth The jelly takes the paint right off your skin and even the linoleum floorJOY DEAR POLLYMrs JEM wrote that she knits both sleeves of sweater at one time also knit the fronts and back of the sweater at the same time up as far as the armholesthat is one piece that goes all around then only have the sleeve seams and shoulder seams to
