4 baffles boss’s wife

| Big-mouth secretary

|

DEAR ANN LANDERS: i'd ike to say a few thousand
words: to the blg-mouth secretary who wrote to complain about
her boss's wife. It seems Miss Triplicate was annoyed by
the wife’s frequent telephone calls which she described as
“stupid, childish and bothersome.’? I’m the bosa’s wife and
I'm requesting equal time,

The reason I call my husband at the office (his home away
from the bar) is because it’s the only dme I can pin him down
am get answers. In the morning he is rushing t get out of the
house. When he comes home to dinner (rarely before 8:30) he
is half stoned or too tired to talk about family matters,.

_ My husband is the head of a big company but he is a lousy
father, His secretary is a pinch-faced neurotic who takes
delight in ‘protecting’? him against me. I have a million
problems with our kids because I’m raising them with no
help from their father. We wives of iilgh-powered executives
are, fighting a tough battle. Secretaries like Miss Triplicate

n't help,

. Please excuse the abrupt end to this letter but I must
telephone my husband and ask if I should post bail for Junior
or let him rot in jafl, If his secretary tells me “Mr, H
can’t be disturbed .. .'* I'm gotng to inform her that she’s
too late. He’s already disturbed, ;

MEMPHIS MIGRAINE,

DEAR Mi: Thanks for your side of the story, Take that
and that, Miss Pinch-Faced Neurotic! .

DEAR ANN LANDERS: 'I started to date Neil six months
ago. He came here to Canada from a European country when
he was 14, Neil’s parents are well off and they live ina
beautiful home,

The first thing Neil's parents did when they bought the
home was build a wine cellar. When I had dinner at their
place they poured wine for their three children who are 9,
11 and 12 years old, Nefl filled his own glags three tlmes,

When Neil is out on a party he drinks a lot more than
the other guys. They usually take beer, Neil starts with rye
and switches to wine which he brings from home.

. Lately he has been tao tired to get up for school. He’s
been late so much he may get expelled, Cana 17-year-old
boy he an alcoholic? If he is what can 1 do about it? I like
Nell a lot and I want to help him.

DEAR V: A 17-year-old can indeed be an alcoholic and it
sounds as if Nefl is well on his way, The best way to help
the boy is to acquaint him with the facts, which he may re-
ject. But at least you will have tried, :

Alcoholism is an escape from the harsh realities of life,
For a 17-year-old to resort to this type of escapism is danger-
ous and destructive. He needs professional help and I hope he
gets it immediately. His school counselor can direct him.
