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.

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.

Please don't tell me to wait
for some nice gentleman to come
along and marry me for myself.

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

Please don't think me vulgar,

Dear Ann Landers: This is
problem that I'll bet many par
enLs are faced with during sum
mer vacation. Can you help?
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?
My husband says one thing and
I say another. What do you say,
Ann Landers? SPLIT DECI
SION
Dear Split: By all means you
should continue to give Arleen
her allowance while she is on
vacation. It would be unthinkable
to suggest that a house guest
be paid finr pitching in. Arlecn is
your responsibility whether she's
at home or vacationing.
Ann Landers will be glad to
help you with your problems.
Send them to her in care of this
newspaper, enclosing a stamped,
self-addressed envelope.

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

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.
