@.. THE OSHAWA TIMES, Fridey, March 8, 1963 ANN LANDERS Invalid Mother Burden To Family Dear Ann Landers: My spin- ster sister made a death-bed to mama that she would never be put in a nursing home. Without asking me, my " sister said I would take her to live with me, That was six years ago when mama was 83. Today -she is almost' 90. Sister's promise was a safe him one because no nursing home would take our mother. She be- longs in a mental institution. Father left her a substantial inheritance from which she has been drawing interest for 23 years. She has not spent one dime of her own money since father died. She is saving it,"'for her old age." ; My husband and I are going broke keeping nurses in our home around the clock. Mama can't be left alone for a minute and I haven't the strength to be 'with her more than eight hours a day. Even with nurses on duty she has set fire to the mattress twice. Is this fair when mama _ has money of her own? She keeps saying she's going to leave all her money to a horse she sees on TV. It would not surprise me if she did. Please advise.-- MARY Dear Mary: You need a law- yer and I hope you get one fast. It.is not fair for you and your husband to go broke caring for your mother when she has an income of her own. People who put money away for a rainy day sometimes have to be told it's raining. Dear Ann Landers: I was a booze-fighter when I met Wilma --and the booze was winning, I had lost three good jobs be- cause of my drinking. Wilma helped me off the juice and onto the wagon. I was bone-dry for 17 months -- then Friday night it happened. The office manager's wife had a baby girl after four boys. He was out of his mind with joy. He ordered up three bottles of scotch and invited. everyone in the office to celebrate with I couldn't refuse to have just one--sort of a toast to the little princess. You can guess the rest. I blew a dinner date with Wilma, in fact, I didn't even remember we had a date until 2 a.m. Then I telephoned her. She slammed the receiver on my ear and took the phone off the hook. Today I got my ring back by special messenger. Please help me.--SAD AND SORRY Dear Sad: When will guys like you learn that one drink is too many and one hundred isn't enough? I can suggest only that you go to Wilma and beg her to flitve you, With a record of 17 months of sobriety she may give you another ch (P.S. own children. Clara's parents died when she was nine and we treated her as if she were our daughter. Last May she married a young man who is pleasant but brainless. He has a steady job at a mill and makes good money. My husband and I own a little grocery store. Every Friday without fail Clara and her hus- band come to the store and fill up two or three large shopping bags with whatever they need. Clara says "thanks a lot' and they drive off. Is it possible they don't know we have to pay for our mer- chandise? I just can't believe it, but since. they're both pretty stupid that may be the answer. My husband is fed up with this weekly ritual. Would it 'be petty if we came right out and told them how we feel? As I said she is like a daughter to us.--DWINDLING INVENTORY Dear Dwindling: Tell these moochers they can have what- ever they need at the price you paid for it. This is a much bet- ter deal than they can get else. where. DOMESTIC PIONEER Between 1893 and 1908, Ade- laide Hunter Hoodicss had do- mestic science courses intro- duced in 32. Canadian schools.
