SHIRLEY ANN WILLIAMS
To Wed Friday
June Wedding
Set By Pair
Mr .and Mrs. Hank Williams of
La Grande are announcing the
engagement of their daughter,
Shirley Ann, to Neil Campbell,
stationed at Fort Lewis, Wash.
Miss Williams is a graduate of
La Grande High School in the class
of 1956 and is now employed at the
Little Pig Drive In.
Campbell is serving with the
U.S. Army, and attended school
in Los Angeles.
The date has been s?t for
June 20, and plans for a wedding
in the home of the bride.
Dear Ann: Can you help two
oldsters? My husband and I have
lircussed this problem dozens of
times but we arc no closer to
a solution.
We raised six children and
helped to put them all through
college. Our three daughters
married well. The two older sons
are attorneys, and the youngest
in engineer. My husband never
made more than $4,800 a year in
his life. All the boys make at
least three times that amount.
We own a small home and just
vet by. My husband draws 8
railroad pension and we have no
spvings, just a few war bonds set
aside for emergency. This is the
problem:
Almost every night we have
from 4 to 9 grandchildren at our
dinner table. Wc love them dear
ly, Ann, but wc can't afford to
feed them. They can drink 4
quarts of milk with a meal.
Their parents take turns drop
ping them off when they go to
parties, club meetings and so
on. They say we are more re
liable than sitters and we arc
"handy." What do you suggest?-
SilverThreadj.
Dear Threads: Since you have
such a chummy relationship with
your children that they feel com
fortable dumping their kids on
you for dinner several times
