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.
If alcohol is robbing you or
someone ynu love of health and
dignity, send for Ann Landers'

While visitor totals at Crater
Lake National Park for the
month of July this year are
slightly under 12, year of the
ALBANY. 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."
