ANN LANDERS Frigid A Lnhoro Dear Anh Landers: If you will print my letter you will: be helping not only me but thou- sands wives who dare not discuss this problem with any- one, no matter how trustworthy. husband and I are in our early 40s. We have been faith- fal to one another for 15 years. I am attractive and youthful looking. We have a large fam- ily, a lovely home and no fi- nancial worries My husband's decreasing de- sire for any physical contact) with me is driving me to the edge, I have. joked, hinted, flirted, and finally I cam right out and verbalized my need for him. He remained silent and fell asleep, leaving me feeling degraded and frustrated. am pi | to you because I find myself thinking some dangerous thoughts. Other men are beginning to look extremely attractive to me. I fear that one day when the opportunity pre- sents itself (as it inevitably will) I'll take it. At the moment I am torn be- tween self-condemnation not suggest that I keep myself! busy becatise I am busier than) anyone I know. My husband's pride would not let him see a/ doctor about this problem s0 that's oul. To complicate mat- ters, our family doctor is a per- sonal friend. The unfaithful husband who wanders because his wife is cold and unresponsive gets a lot of sympathy. But ardent wives with cold husbands dare not look left nor right or they are considered tramps. I am not ready for the Tock-| ing chair yet. What shall I do? --Getting Notions Dear Getting Notions: Tell| your husband precisely what) you told me.

It is not normal for @ man in his early 40s to be completely disinterested in sex. Your hus- band should learn if there is a doctor, I suggest that you sée one, and ask his advice. Dear Ann Landers: Three \years ago our only son came |home from the service. He brought with him a girl who was only 20 years old and al- ready she had a divorce and two small children. When he said, "'Meet my wife," we al- most died, Now the problem is the girl's housekeeping. I've seen dirty houses in my day, Ann, but nothing can compare with hers. |I've gone over there myself and cleaned her house from top to bottom at least a dozen times, but the next day it's the same pig's sty. My husband re- fuses to let me do it anymore and my son has asked me to stop, too. They have a beautiful little boy now. I am just crazy about those three grandchildren so please don't tell me to stop going over there. I need you to tell me what to do.--Los An- geles Heartache Dear Heartache: If all the women who write to me on this same subject were lined up, they would reach from Anchor-| age to Amarillo. My advice is to play deaf, dumb and blind when you go over there, Enjoy your grand- children and take them to your house whenever possible. | If your son complains to you| about his wife's housekeeping} tell him to talk to her, not you.| It is their problem and you should stay out of it. Parents' Calm Attitude Controls | Child's Terror of By GARRY C, MYERS, PhD Some young children are ter- rified during electric storms and may continue to be all their lives. As a rule, the way chil- dren feel and act during such storms depends chiefly on the way their parents act and feel. Some parents who themselves are very uncomfortable during a thunderstorm can manage themselves well for the sake of their children, They can ob- serve a few sensible precau- tions without talking about them and keep themselves busy then. Parents not only help them- selves but the youngster also by reading stories to the tot or en- gaging in some fun with him during storms. A few parents greatly terrified during a storm might feel more safe and com- fortable by wearing rubbers. They might be able to do so without calling the matter to the child's attention. Parents might also observe a few other precautions: Not lean- ing against the walls; staying away from a chimney or out of a draught; not going out- doors; not going near high trees or the telephone or kitchen sink | deliver them personally to es-| spondence course that will give} tablish myself as he is interested in preserving] © A trip to the Mayo Clinic or} ¢ something physically wrong) with him.

M. Dear A. M.: This is a chance ou have to take. But to look at it a little more positively, it can work for you as well as against you, because if the peo- le pho see you like your type of person they may put in a good word for you. I have never felt it an unwise move if you have a legitimate reason for showing yourself at the office. However, if you do stop by without an appointment, don't insist on seeing the em- ployer or his assistants when they are not expecting you.

If necessary, com- mand the child in such pre- cautions. With young children, it usu- ally is the thunder clap which frightens and not the lightning, the real source of danger. If the baby or young child is asleep during a thunderstorm, it is well to be near him lest he should be awakened and frightened by a thunder crash. WATCH RECEDING STORM During an electric storm at night, if the young child is awake, it may be wise, after the worst of the storm has passed, to sit and watch with him through the window at some distance from it, and try to see outdoors as much as he and you can at each flash.
