ANN LANDERS Thoughtless Remarks Hurt The Bereaved Dear Ann Landers: I just read the letter from the boy whose father died. He wrote to tell you the stupid things people said to his mother at the fu- neral. I hope some of those ignorant folks will pay attention to his letter and to mine, as well. Recently we lost our adorable four-year-old daughter. She was retarded but it didn't matter to us. We loved her just the same. I can count on one hand the people who said, 'I am sorry"-- and let it go at that. Almost every person said, "She is bet- ter off--" or "It's really a blessing--" or --"Now you will not have to worry anymore." One woman suggested that now I would have more free time and could join the garden club. Please, Ann, tell your readers if they attend the funeral of a retarded or a handicapped child it isn't necessary to remind the parents that their child was dif- ferent from other children. A simple "I'm sorry" is enough.-- Temple Texas Dear Temple: Here is your letter and I can add nothing ex- cept my thanks to you for writ- ing it. I do hope you understand that these people meant to say something supportive and com- forting, but, unfortunately, their remarks were grossly off tar- get. Dear Ann Landers: I am sit- ting home alone watching TV, while my husband is at a party. It is quite an affair I am sure, but he forgot to tell me about it until 5:30 tonight when he telephoned to ask me to make sure his suit was ready and his shoes were shined. Of course it hair fixed and find a baby-sitter for the children. This is not the first time he has pulled this stunt and it probably won't be the last. I am a nice looking girl and can carry on a good conversation. If my husband is ashamed of me I can't figure out the rea- son. I guess he has a better time at parties when he can behave like a bachelor. Will you please tell me what to do about this humiliating situation? --Sub-Basement Blues Dear Sub: Party invitations are usually sent to the house, addressed to Mr. and Mrs. or if it's a phone invitation, one wife] & calls the other. I am mistified as to why you learn of these parties at the last moment. Hunt up some sitters who can be called on short notice and don't be so fussy about your hair. The next time he pulls this cutie, get yourself ready and go with him. Dear Ann Landers: Please say something to people who talk instead of eat.

Keep Chirpy Canary 15 Years Old VANCOUVER (CP) -- Cuckoo, a German Roller can- ary, was 15 years old in June and has never had a sick day. His green topknot and yellow feathers have not faded through the years and he likes to sing. Cuckoo's owner, Violet Tuss, says his age is remarkable, be- cause most canaries live for only about 10 years. "He sings and chirps all the time, especially when I talk to him," said Mrs. Tuss. "When he hears music he doesn't like, he sings loud enough to drown it out." She had a cake for the canary with 15 candles on it for his birthday.
