Woman's World MAXLN'E NURSH, Woman's Editor ANN LANDERS Answers Your Problems Dear Ann Landers: Please tell me what to do with a 53-year-old husband who spends every Satur day sitting nf the window watch ing the young girls as they go in and out of the modeling school across the street. Should I give him a pair cf field glasses for Christmas and say "Enjoy yourself, you big lug." Or should I give him a pair of black eyes to impair his vis ion? Please give a straight an swer because I am dead serious about this problem and have had all I can take. Griped. Dear Griped: I don't recom mend that you give your hus band a pair of black eyes for Christmas because there's el ways the chance that he may return the gift. Binoculars might be interpreted as appro val so that's cut. Why not be extra loving next Saturday? This ought to get the juvenile delinquent out of the window. Dear Ann: My fellow and I have been going steady two years. He's 20 and I'm 19. During the early months of our courtship he had an affair with a girl who wasn't exactly up to his social level. She got herself preg nant and the baby is now 11 months old. Q Special Offering Set For Saturday By Adventists .

I found out he s been going over there almost every night af ter work. When I asked him about, it he said he has no in terest in the girl but he's crazy over the baby. We got into an argument and ftp told me if I tried to stop him from seeing his son we were through. My folks are begging me to go live with my aunt in Vermont, get a job and forget him. I really love the guy. What do you think? Natalie. - Dear Natalie: Your state ment that the girl "got herself pregnant" would make medical history if it could be substan tiated. Apparently "your fel low" has absolved himself of II responsibility and you are willing to back him up in this cowardly position. If you marry a men who has an out of - wedlock child across the street yet, prepare for problems from the word go. Your folks have an excellent idea and I hope you will lis ten to them. Dear Ann: I'm 15, and a high school freshman. My math teacher is very handsome and all the girls are gaga over him. He's quite old (about 37) and married, so you can see he's not a real prospect for anybody. My problem is I dream about him every night and the dreams don't match my daytime thoughts. He is always formal and business like, and I am not the type to flirt around with an old married man. So, what are. these dreams all about anyway? 1 Do you think if I tell him about :he-..dreams they will stop? I deed help. Beautiful Dreamer, j Deer Beautiful: If you tell your handsome, old married Imath teacher that you are (dreaming about him at night you may find yourself with day time troubles, too. "Jbu have a crush on the guy . . . so admit it to yourself, and tben examine the situation re fatally and accept the fact that he is off-limits. Get interested in someone in your own generation. Dance Association To Meet Saturday '1110 Blue Mountain Square Dance Association will hold a dance at North Powder, Saturday, at 8 o'eliock. They will dance with the No.th Powder club as hosts. All square dancers of the area are invited to attend. Callers from the floor will call the squares. An association meet ing will be held during the dance. Thiy will discus the Christmas daftV and will decide where and wher L hold it. Mrs. Charles Gunn was asked to speak on the program cf the auxiliary, and her recent experi ence as national president. She stressed the crucial nature of the times in which we are living, is a fact to which we have had to face up squarely. We have rec ognized that things being done, ir not done, today are casting the lie for the future of human lree- dom in this world of ours. The auxiliary carries heavy responsi bilities must, by influence and example help to keep the ideals of American freedom, the guid ;ng force in the nation's life. The national executive com mittee expressed a desire for Mrs. Gunn to visit Europe and to inspect radio free installations. She also visited Central Ameri ca on Pan American study pro jects in El Salvador; she made an official visit to the American Le gion Auxiliary units in the canal Zone and Puerto Rico. In the Philippines her help was needed -This girl lives with her moth er and works in a beauty shoo to support herself and, .the boa. ,ToJ to, advise, hem how to .establish a vuiuiueer nwpiiai wui iters pro gram in the largest veterans hospital in the Far East. In Korea she visited the American Korean Foundation which the American Legion Auxiliary help ed to finance and continues to do so. If we were seeking one key spot on the globe from which to get a good, sharp view of inter national problems today, where would we choose to go? The largest cityin the world today is Tokyo. And half of all the people in the world now live within 2.500 miles of Manila. So the Far East is the center of our world population today. And if vou think of world affairs in terms of human problems, it is the center of world affairs today Mrs. Gunn visited Hawaii as territory, and was the first na tional president to inspect the Department of Alaska as a state. Just an overnight flight beyond these two westernmost Depart ments lies Uncle Sam's far west line of defense, stretching from Korea and Japan in the north to the Philippines and Vietnam in the south. In this area the American Legion Auxiliary is still pouring resources of time and money for child welfare and rehabilitation. Mrs. Gunn stated she was glad to be home and to join the aux iliaries in working with renew ed purpose and vigor to see what they, as an internationally known and respected group ot Americans, can do in our own communities. Wives of legionnaires are in vited to join the Auxiliary and be of service to the largest patrio tic women's group in the world today. Polly Anne Club will meet with Mrs. Arthur Ladd, 1102 O Avenue.
