Answers Your Problems
Dear Ann Landers: Millions

iest way my wife and I can think
"f, 1o alert pecple to a serious
danger.
Please, warn couples who wish;
to adopt children to woik only
with welfare agencies and author
ized homes.
Our daughter .vas... obtained
throiighTr,e)rmectrorr;,'grid there
was hell to pay. This beautiful,
healthy child was the light of our
lives for four years.
Last March her blood-mother
popped up out of nowhere. When
she saw the child she said she'd
turn the world upside down to
set her away. She claimed she
was in an cmoticnal state when
she agreed to let us have her,
and that she was not responsible
for her decision.
It resulted in a messy court
fight and we lost. Before the
,'hiid was born the mother gave
her solemn word she'd never see
lie child or bother us in any
.vay. We paid her hospital ex
penses, boucht her a ticket to a
.ity 2.500 miles away, and saw to
t that she was employed. We
avc her S1.000, and the friend"
vho brought us together got $2,-

-Dear Y. J. T.: Thank you for
un-itlna. "This it 'not the first
such letter that appeared in
this space, but the problem is
indeed a serious one, and worth
repeating.
Dear Ann: I like a certain fel
low very much even though he is
a hit of a show-off. This is my
biggest problem with him:
I feel like a fool when we dance
together because he insists on do
ing all the fast and complicated
steps even though I've told him
a hundred times I can't follow
him.
I have threatened to wolk off
the floor when he starts that
stuff, but I haven't the nerve to
Co it. It's awfully embarrassing
to stumble around on the dance
floor with a guy everybody knows
in a great dancer. What do you
suggest? Left Leg.
Dear Left: I know the type
they don't peed a partner be
cause they always seem to be
doing a solo. A good dancer
should stick to the simple steps
out of consideration for the
mediocre partners (Like you
and me). If Astaire ignore
your pleas and insists on try
ing for the cup every time, just
walk off the floor and leave
him standing there.

Wouldn't they still be lots of fun?
These were some of the queries
heard around the room at the
recent meeting of the Young

held in the Methodist church.
The November program com
mittee presented the 'Quilting
Party' much to the delight of
those watching. The scene was
set in an old-fashioned room with
a large quilting frame holding a
quilt ready to be worked.
Hostess for the day was Esther
Burnett and she welcomed her
quilting friends and assisted them
in taking off their bonnets and
shawls.
Much merriment was added as
the latecomer entered, as the
women had just commented she
never arrived on time. Mame
Doty played the latecomer. She
added spice to the party with
latest news bits she had accumu
lated including a 'secret' she con
fided to all assembled. While
the oth-r women, Annetta Adskim,
Atrelle lngcrson. Nellie Moseley
Vera Fulp and Mrs. Burnett were
busy quilting throughout the
scene. Miss Doty just sat in the
background chatting and trying to
