Is A 50-Year-Old 'Middle-Aged'? Anniversaries By AW LANDKRS Dear Ann Landers: I am a 17-year-old boy with a perfectly sensible question which no one I seems to be able to answer. So I am writing to (you. Why do 50 -vear - old Deoole i refer to them- Jt (selves as "mid l Idle-aged?" How IBwwaj many people live to be 100 anyway? My own idea is that middle ape should be half of life expectancy, which puts it at about 35. My own parents are in the 50-ycar-old group and they consider themselves middle-aged. Are they trying to kid themselves or w hat? Please let me know what you think about this. It's been bugging me for a long time. SPEAKER OF THE TRUTH Dear Speaker: When I was 17, I thought middle age was about 30. When I got to be .10 1 shoved middle age up about 10 or 15 years and I've been shoving it up ever since. Why all this preoccupation with age. Buster? I've said it before and I'll say it again . . . It's only a number. Baby. Dear Ann Landers: I have hunt ed everywhere for the newspaper that carried your column about en 11-month pregnancy. Will you 'please tell me when and where this happened? My friend bet me $10 that no such item appeared. She claims all pregnancies are about the same length of time and that peo ple get confused for all sorts of reasons. I know she is wrong be cause I was pregnant with my second child for ll'i months. Please settle this for us. Thank you. J and R Dear J and R: There was noth ing in my column recently about an 11-month pregnancy. What ynu arc probably referring to is a let. tcr from a woman who complained because her friend could never get anyplace on lime. She repeat ed the town Joke that Addle was an 11-month baby and hail been late ever since. The average full-term pregnan cy is about 280 days, which is approximately nine months. This can vary several days one way or the other. But medical srieoce has never recorded an II1, -month pregnancy. .Maybe it jusl seemed that long. Honey. Dear Ann Landers: Our son Ron is going to marry a fine girl whom I will call Anna Marie. She was born and reared in another country and her parents speak very little English. They are very foreign in their ways. Please don't take my head off and tell me I am a snob. Our son is lucky to get this girl. Anna Marie is not only beautiful, but also brilliant and talented. She has already secured a teaching po rtion on the staff of a conserva tory and will help put Ron through law school. The wedding will be held at a hall and the guests will be re quested to bring money instead of gifts. This will appear on the in vitation. I was mortified when I heard it, but apparently it is the custom in Europe. My husband says to keep my nose out of it and to let them do whatever they want. I'm afraid when our family and friends get the invitations they will be shocked. Please tell me what lo do.-M.M.M. Dear M.M.M.: Take your hus band's advice. Since you will pro vide the bride's mother with your guest list you'll be able lo phone or drop each of your guests a line explaining the European custom. Let them know there is nothing obligatory about II. Confidential to USED. ABUSED AND ACCUSED: Your letter was one of the most vitriolic attacks I've ever read. May I suggest that you speak more kindly of your enemies. Remember you made them.

NY. 'll'l' - Dr. James E. Allen. Jr., state edu cation commissioner, has di rected school districts to refrain from dailv religious exercises. "even to w-hat is sometimes re ferred to as 'voluntary' action by pupils." The directive reinforced Al len's already stated determina tion to abide bv the U.S. Su preme Court decision on religious exercises in public schools. Al the same time, the commis sioner urged the state s public schools to give renewed emplia- sis on teaching moral and spirit ual values. "Our young people need today as never before." Allen said, "to acquire f!ie inner strength that comes from knowledge and un derstanding of these values." . Appeal By Parents The ruling came on an appeal by parents of students ji the Lev it tow n Union Free School District No. 5 on Long Island. Tlie local Board of Education on Sept. 4, 1962 adopted a resolu tion that each school day begin with Use Pledge of Allegiance to the flag followed by "reading or recitation of an appropriate ex cerpt from the Bible . . . singing of the fourth stanza of 'Ameri ca' or ... an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence or other historical document signifi cant to our national and spirit ual heritage." Allen said it wis apparent that tlie Levittown board "deliberate ly set out to evade tlie constitu tional prohibition against daily religious exercises in public schools" by providing a list of alternative exercises. He said it was only the daily morning devotional exercises that the Supreme Court decisions and his own were concerned with. Dismissed Appeal Allen said he dismissed an ap- Committee Votes To Add To Large Estate Taxes WASHINGTON tUPD The i out when Uic owner dies. If the House Ways & Means Committee!" owner sells the property he peal against use of the Pledge of Allegiance because the Supreme Court had not been called upon to decide its constitutionality. However, lie said the New York Court of Appeals was presently considering whether the words Under God" in tlie pledge were unconstitutional. In June. 1962, tlie Supreme Court declared unconstitutional a prayer written by tlie state Board of Regents. Two months later Commissioner Allen ruled that a stanza of the "Star-Spangled Ban ner" designated a prayer by a local district also was uncon' stitutional. In a letter accompanying cop ies of tlie Levittown decision to school districts across tlie state Allen said tlie ways and means that public schools can supply moral and spiritual teaching arc many and varied. "They are found in the study of history, literature, music and art," he said, "and in all sub jects in which the great religions have played a strong part in tlie shaping of aspirations and growth."
