n Teasing Just In Fun Can Cause Much Harm By ANN LANDERS Dear Ann Landers: Yesterday I saw something (hat reminded me of my miserable childhood If this letter Helps just one child it will be Ik worm the el lor t 4zA it took to write; Iit. I refer to th unmerciful teas- I : t 1 . jr? I by so - called V A umiiiinil adults. When I was a child my great aunt used to tease me, pretend ing It was all in funn. 1 know now she was a sadist. I was unusually tall for my age and Aunt Tillic would say, "If you don't stop growing you won't be able to work anyplace but in a circus. She used to worry me sick. Aunt Tillie teased my younger brother, too. She told him if he didn't stop stuttering his tongue would fall out and he wouldn't be able to talk. He became so inhibited in her presence that he rarely uttered a word when she was in the house. Yesterday I heard a grand mother tell a child that if she swallowed a cherry pit a tree would start to grow in her stom ach and the branches would sprout from her eyes and ears. Of course this is absurd to an older person who can reason, but many children believe what ever an adult says, Please, Ann, tell grownups that teasing children "in fun can produce irreparable damage. A FRIEND Dear Friend: Thank you for writing. I hope your letter gets through to those who don't realize how harmful their little Jokes can be. are tired of working and want to relax a little.

Your Fpr Sale sign would attract nothing but scum Dear Ann Landers: My husband died 10 months ago and left me well off financially. I'm 63 but could pass for younger. I'm well traveled, well-read and there's still plenty of Gypsy in my 6oul if yau know what I mean. Please don't think me vulgar, but I want a husband and I'm willing to pay for him.

Our daughter Arlecn has been invited by my sister-in-law to spend four weeks with them out in Montana. Arlecn is 16, and i good little cook and housekecp' er. jviy sister-in-law said in her letter that they would expect Ar leen to "pitch in" with the house hold chores and to help with the children. Now the problem. Do you feel that we should continue to give Arlcen her allowance while she is on vacation? Or should my sister-in-law give her an allow ance for helping with the chores?

DUNS.MUIR The city council voted to put downtown parking meters back in use. set the prop erty tax rate for the coming year at $2.30 per $100 assessed val uation and voted $500 to the Railroad Days Committee to help pay celebration costs in an action filled meeting Monday night. Dave McClintock introduced a motion to reactivate the parking meters after accusing the down town merchants of defaulting on their proposals regarding parking meter substitutions when the me ters were taken out of service in 1960. He said the city had done every thing asked by the merchants such as install the meters in tlie first place, extend their use, take them out of service and tag them with two hour free parking notices and continually revise the parking ordinance at a consider able cost for publication, Mc Clintock said. The merchants first said they would top the parking meter poles with flower baskets, then pro posed a wooden welcome sign but there has been no action on the idea in almost a year, the council charged in unanimously approv ing the motion. "People go elsewhere to shop where there are parking meters," Mayor David Anderson comment ed. Parking meter funds averaged about $5,000 annually during the seven years they were in use, a WARREN LOUGH has been severe loss of city revenue dur named the new superintendent of the Simplot DeVoe Lumber Mill.

IIEILE and sons of Merrill, Mr. and Mrs. Art Mclntyre and Peggy, Mr. and Mrs. George Barslund and sons of Los Angeles, Karen and Virgil Schmoe and Keith Turner of Bonanza spent Sunday at the Harold Smith Ranch near Sprague River attending to cattle. A picnic was enjoyed at noon. MR. AND MRS. RAY JONES and children and Mr. and Mrs. Herb Marchant of Grants Pass visited Jones' parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lester Jones. ing the last two years. Ten per cent of parking fees go into an offstreet parking fund. City Clerk Elizabeth Cavin explained, and the remainder is used for main tenance and various police de partment expenses. The tax rate for the 1963-64 year remains unchanged from last year's rate: $2.14 general tax; .11 parks, music and adver tising; .09, civil defense, and .17 flood control. In view of the fact that the city did not match last year's donation of $500 to Railroad Days, the community celebration sponsored by the chamber of commerce, the council voted to pick up a large share of the celebration's deficit this year with a $500 donation from the city's advertising fund.
