'Dear
Abby
Abigail Van Bur en
DEAR ABBY: I've been keeping company with this 42-year-old
bachelor for about a year. During this time his mother has
nagged, cried, developed "dizzy spells," heart pains and hys
terics whenever he told her he was serious about me. This
didn't keep him from seeing me, however. (Her only objection
to me is the fact that I am a widow.) Now she has a new
weapon. If he marries me, he will be cut out of her estate.
I have never met this woman and am self-supporting. This
man and I get on very well together. He is the only one of five
children at home with his mother. I love the guy, Abby. Is
there any hope for a "Mamma problem"?
GETTING OLDER
DEAR GETTING: It's not a "Mamma problem" it's a
"Sonny problem." Any man who is old enough to tie the mar
riage knot is old enough to untie the apron string.
DEAR ABBY: My husband goes for weeks without sleeping
with me. He takes his pillow and goes out on the porch. He
has even gone out in the car. He says I snore so loud I keep
him awake, but I can't believe I snore that bad. I have stopped
putting up a lunch for him. He got mad. I told him that if he
is going to stop acting like a husband I am going to stop acting
like a wife. What should I do?
MARRIED BUT SINGLE
DEAR MARRIED: Break the sound barrier! Buy your
husband a pair of beeswax ear plugs, and he'll sleep like a
honey!
DEAR ABBY: Am I crazy or what? Whenever I meet some
one, the first thing I notice is his teeth. I ask you, is this
normal?
TEETH WATCHER
DEAR TEETH WATCHER: There is nothing abnormal
about it. Almost everyone "notices" something in particular
about people on the first meeting. I notice noses.
DEAR ABBY: Please tell Janie June that all healthy, nor
mal cats WILL land on their feet when tossed up in the air.
If hers landed on his head it must have been a fat cat or an
old cat.

COMMENT
Relatives are converging up
on the W.F.G. Thacher home,
and the family is planning an
outing at the coast in the com
ing week.
First arrival was the couple's
grandson, Thomas G. Hall, and
his wife, Betsy, who came Fri
day evening from Chicago. A
native of Eugene, young Hall is
a graduate of Princeton in '55,
and is now with an advertisinig
agency in Chicago.
Thursday, his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Vinton H. Hall (Janet
Thacher), and his sister, Miss
Nancy Hall, a Wellesley grad
uate, will arrive. Their home is
in Highland Park, 111., and Mr.
Hall also is in advertising, but
his son is not with the same
agency.
Completing the circle, the
Thachers' son, Lt. Eric F.
"Rick" Thacher, USN, is com
ing from the east coast. He is
officer in charge of guided
missiles on the light cruiser
W. V. Pratt, which is now in
the Philadelphia naval yards.
Lt. Thacher was graduated
from South Eugene High School
before going to Annapolis.
By coincidence, the family
wil! occupy the same cottage at
Sea Crest Cottages which the
same group used 25 years ear
lier. The Vinton Halls also plan to
make a trip to Lakeview, his
birthplace, while they are in
Oregon. Both attended Univer
sity of Oregon, where he was
graduated in '31. Mrs. Hall was
a member of the class of '33.
Alice Hcnson Ernst (Mrs.
Rudolf H.) will leave Tuesday
for the Pacific Northwest In
ternational Writers Conference
to be held Thursday through
Saturday in Seattle. En route
she will stop in Portland for
two days, then continue on to
the conference where she looks
forward to renewing acquain
tance with many writer friends.
Mrs. Ernst's book, "Troup
ing in the Oregon Country"
won recognition at the recent
convention of National Press
Women which was held in Den
ver. Later in the summer Profes
sor and Mrs. Ernst plan to
drive together to Seattle to vis
it their family and see the
World's Fair.

SLUMPS
Everybody knows about the
baseball player who has a
sudden, inexplicable slump.
Even the best have these
spells. The slugger suddenly
can't hit anything, the great
pitcher can't get the ball
near the plate.
There seems to be no reason
for the slump. The ballplayer
doesn't do anything different
ly, and he hasn't suddenly
lost all of his skills. The
slump is mostly a mental con
dition, but "thinking posi
tive" won't cure it lt just
has to work itself out.
What is often forgotten is
that the rest of us have
slumps, too. They just don't
show as clearly in our "bat
ting average." We all have
our low periods of efficiency.
Like the ballplayer, we'll just
make things worse if we
press or panic. We just have
to g on doing the best we
can. For there's anothcj Im
portant fact to remember
about slumps: they always
end, avtrangely eoi sudcn
y as the started.

One of These
(OCOAids
Can Help You Hear
Your earn are among the moat complex and sensitive
organs of your body. Because the hearing mechanism is
complex, it can be affected in many ways. There are dif
ferent type of hearing losses some can be helped by
simple amplification, others need specific correction in
various frequency ranges.
With a "high tone" hearing loss, for example, you
hear people talking, but voices seem indistinct and muf
fled. A loss in the lower frequencies makes voice sound
thin and weak. Persons with certain types of hearing
losses hear better in noisy places others need quiet.
Each person's preference as to type of hearing aid
e must also be considered. Many choose the popular eye
glass hearing ijids, others tiny behind-the-ear instal
ments. Ladjea prefer the barrette orSi-the-hair models,
and some-persons require the powerful amplification
provided by pocket-type aids.
Maico Electronics, Inc., a25-yer pioneer in the de
velopment of hearing aids and hngring test instruments,
understands thoroughly the needs and preferences of thB
hard of hearing person. More than a Stozen quality Maico
instruments are available to correct almost any hearing
problem from a moderate loss requiring "part time" help
to the very severe impairments.
Of primary importance is the capability of every
Maico consultant to accurately and scientifically deter
mine the nature of your impairment, and to understand
your specific problem. If you have a hearing loss, and
are seeking honest, competent help, a trained Maico con
aultant can help you. For complete information about
the Maico method of hearing correction, stop in at our
