Glue - Landers: I am Dear Ann going with a young man who has a lot of ability and a great future, but he behaves so pe- culiarly at times it is frighten- ing. at first, I thought he had been drinking. Last night, he con- fessed that he has been sniffing glue. He claims glue sniffing is not dangerous, not habit forming, and it gives him a grand feeling of exhilaration. I have never known anyone who did this and I wish you would tell me if I am worrying needlessly, as he says.--Plenty Upset Dear Plenty: Glue sniffing is a form of intoxication, only the sniffer uses toxic fumes instead of liquor. ve It is indeed dangerous be- cause the fumes can damage the liver as well as other vital organs, including the brain. It is not habit forming in the sense that it leads to addiction, but glue sniffers have a tendency to go from glue to narcotics in} search of bigger kicks. People have been seriously injured and killed while under the influence of glue because the judgment is often grossly distorted after several whiffs. Anyone who thinks glue sniffing is not a dangerous practice is kidding himself.

Do I feel needed? No. I feel harassed, frustrated, and de- feated. You are lucky to have the work and worry behind you. I'm living for the day when my kids are grown and on their own. There, I hope you feel. better.-- Living Through It Dear Living: What you need is one day a week off so you can enjoy your kids instead of feeling trapped. Make a trade- off arrangement with a friend or a relative if you can't afford a sitter, but for heaven's sake get some relief before you konk out. Dear Ann Landers: I know you are opposed to inter-faith marriages because I heard you say so when you spoke in our high school a few years ago. Now I m going with a young man whose religion is different from mine. I wish I could re- member what you said -- the reasons, I mean. Please go over Dear Ann Landers: I would like to address this letter to all you middle-aged women who are feeling sorry for yourselves because your children are grown and no longer need you. No doubt you've been thinking of the past--longing to relive those days when the kids were rpnning around the house, play- mates coming and going, toys scattered all over, good night Kisses and the whole bit. Well, you've got short mem- ories, Mommies, so I want to remind you of what it was really cided Girl that individuals who share the them again. Thank you.--Unde- Dear Girl: The records show same religious beliefs have five times as good a chance of stay- ing married as those who do not. Since marriage is becom- ing increasingly risky (almost one out of three flop) it makes sense to start out on as solid a footing as possible. Marriage at its best, with everything go- ing for you, is a tremendous challenge. Why begin with built-in trouble? Who needs it?

It paid off, for she told me the secret of her Cleanliness Has Always Been Next To Godliness By ELEANOR ROSS Back, way back, in the days of feather boas, long, ankle-cov- ering skirts and starched, frilly aprons, women used washboards and scrubbed in many tubfulls of sods during Monday's all-day |' Idbors. Now a machine can do more work in an hour, but the funda- mentals haven't changed. STILL NO COMPARISON Despite all the innovations abd changes in the mode of liv- ing, there is still nothing to cémpare with the sweet, serene comfort of fresh linen, and the smartness, the downright chic, that cleanliness imparts to clothing coupled with good grooming. Modern homemakers know that, and so did the ladies of the early 1900s. One of the au- thorities of that era was a home economist, Marion Harland, au- thor of The Housekeeper's Week --an authoritative book of ad- vice to homemakers published in' 1908, This practical volume had much excellent advice and made the cogent statement that: "Dirt is a costly condition in any circumstances. ILLNESS INVITED "Lack of personal cleanliness invites disease and doctor's bills. The soaping, rubbing, boil- ing, rinsing, and _ wringing, needed to bring a dirty garment back to decency, tell upon its integrity more than a year of careful wear. It does pay to buy the best quality to begin with. It pays far better to use it without abusing it, when once bought. "It pays well, and always, to get the good thing clean when legitimate wear has dirtied it. For really excellent fabrics-- like the best quality of human virtue--do not go to pieces in the wash." On the subject of linens, Mrs. Harland felt equally as strong. Her wish was to 'have sheets renewed daily, always sleeping within fair fresh linen in sum- mer, cambric in winter. .. ." About the bathroom she said uncompromisingly, "Every morning the dirty towels should permanently changed food hab- At a luncheon earlier in thelits, Three years ago she went to Bosak a driving me nuts.

CHILD GUIDANCE |_-By GARRY MYERS, PhD You "have often heard and read that.you should suit the punishment to the _ offence. Many parents taking this ad- vice literally don't find it work- able. é The other day a letter came from a mother worried over a boy, 10, who showed no interest in helping celebrate the birth- days of his parents, never mak- ing or buying from his allow- ance a gift for the parent at his or her birthday. He even acted bored during the celebration. This letter reported that the father had decided that when this boy's birthday came there would be no celebration, not even any birthday gifts for the lad. It suited the punishment to the offence all right but obvi- ously was bad procedure. Be- sides, it was, obviously, not a case for punishment but for long-time efforts at making desirable behavior and attitudes - - Suiting Punishment To Offense Often Backtires At Parents less often. Instead, the parents should keep writing regularly not even rebuking the youth for writing so seldom. SUITABLE PUNISHMENT Suiting the punishment to the offence, a parent will require the child who quarrels and fights in the playground to come indoors from the other children. As a result, this child may only prove more quarrel- some and less acceptable to his playmates when he joins them again. This child needs to spend more time with them instead of less and be guided in becom- ing a better playmate. Sepa- rated from, them, he lags in play skills and practice at mingling with these other chil- ren. Think of all the tots between and 6 whose toys are taken away from them when they deliberately break these teys or harm them. But how is the child going to learn.to handle toys with care if he has no toys to handle? He needs guidance, sometimes' restraint, then in the use of toys. Often a parent of a tot 2 or 3 will bite the child who bites her or will -hit this youngster ex- actly as the youngster has hit her, suiting the penalty to the offence. But this is dangerous. The parent's biting may be too severe. It is better to whack the youngster on a bare leg or thigh. The purpose is to follow his biting immediately with physical pain. To bite him back more readily suggests to him a kind of revenge by the parent. Answering Questions Q. When I ask my daughter, , to do something at home, there's an argument. What can I do? A. Don't ask her to do what you are pretty sure she will not choose to do. Don't even com- mand her unless you have available more than jawing to enforce the command. Be too grown up to argue with her. attractive. Now and then a mother whose child 6, 8, or 12 refuses often at making desirable behavior and attitudes attractive. Now and then a mother whose child 6, 8, or 12 refuses often to help her when requested to do so will refuse to do some- thing the child requests, telling him why. This rarely works as you know. Consider the parents whose youths at a boarding school or college or in the armed forces or at work away from home grow more and more tardy about writing home. Many of these parents, suiting the pun- ishment to the offence, pur- Iposely write this youth less and .

Mé&C Dry Goods and Draperies EXPERTLY INSTALLED DRAPERY TRACKS 723-7827 By ROBERTA ROESCH Despite the overwhelming number of women who work many years of their lives, too many girls still close their eyes to the need for vocational goals. This is borne out constantly in letters that come to this desk, as mothers write about daughters who are shoving vo- cational goals aside in favor of romantic interests. "Up until two months ago," one mother wrote, "my high school daughter had intelligent plans for going to a two-year THE STARS SAY holding the weightline?" 1 sant. The doctor recommended that she use the one God gave her, explaining that pills had no lasting effect. He gave her a protective eat- ing pattern and emphasized that she pay particular attention to food portions. He pointed out that we are accustomed to the same size portions and the same size plate that we used before automation and the automobile cut our fuel needs, She switched to a supper size plate and smaller portions, "But what is your secret of robed, CHANGED THINKING "To begin with, I set out to change my thinking along with my serving sizes. I gave defin- ite thought to this plan. Before I sit down to the table I decide just how much food I intend to eat at that meal," she ex- plained. Excellent. By taking fore- thought, you are in command, and can stop automatic action. When she reached desirable weight for her build, 120 pounds for five-foot-three, the doctor told her she had her battle only two-thirds won. He stressed that at the finish of reducing comes the critical test. He. urged her to establish a transition period in which she neither gained nor lost, and that she exercise daily. Calories should be increased gradually, "Give nature chance to establish your weight at this lower level,' he cau- tioned. In other words, do not switch from a reducing diet back to your maintenance allowance without first establishing an in- terim period during which you neither gain nor lose weight. If you have changed your thinking as you curbed calories, staying slim will be a part of your plan. At this stage, exercise is of the utmost importance. With less weight you are better able to exercise. Physical activity will step up your calorie ex- penditure and tone your mus- cles, The two mile daily walk is just what the doctor ordered, weight like snow-balls. They are as hard to pick up as droppéd stitches and have the same effect in the finished whole." This is trenchantly worked advice indeed; but advice is just as valid today as when grandma was reading The 'By ESTRELLITA FOR TOMORROW Don't waste time on non- essentials during Wednesday's early hours.

"But now at the age of 17, she says with alarming fre- quency that she may get mar- ried instead. She insists that 'lots of girls do this' and are much more happy with hus- bands and babies than they are with schoo] and jobs. WANTS MARRIAGE "No matter how much I ar- gue with her that she should have some kind of training, she fails to see the need for that, as she says that all she wants to do is marry and have a family." All around us, many young women fail to get the message that most of them will have to work even though they marry. As Dr, Genevieve Loughran, associate professor of the Hun- ter College graduate program in guidance, said so aptly at Governor Rockefeller's Confer- ence on Women in New York last spring: 'When statistics are quoted to girls that four out of five of them will work, each girl sees herself as number five who wants only to get married, takes a very. short- sighted view. Figures from the New York State Department of Labor show that at the last count 48 per cent of the women working had husbands, another 7 per cent had absent husbands, 10.8 per cent were widowed, and 3.8 per cent divorced. NEED MONEY In addition to this reality, there's also the evidence that most of the women who take on a job--in any state in the union--do this for economic reasons. The U.S. Labor Department points out that in this period of escalated costs, at least half of all working women work out of economic necessity. Faced with these facts and the figures, any young girl to- day is engaging in folly instead of wisdom when she thinks a present romantic goal will re- place for all the years of her life the need for a vocational | aim. Instead, the path of wisdom for her is to plan on having both a married life and a work-| ing career, whether she has them one at a time or combines them in a portion that's the right proportion for her.
