- THURSDAY, MAY 13, 1971 PAGES | DEAR ANN LANDERS: aa Because of my husband's job i the's an executive in a lurge Band important firm) we are m invited out a great deal, in- A variably to cocktail parties, and fm I loathe them, In my opinion the cocktail party is the most in- ay sidious form of terture known to” modern man. By the end of the m evening my feet are killing me, aa my girdle is cutting me in two and my face is stiff from smiling. Invariably, I am Sa trapped in a cormer by the Sm biggest bore in the room. People lean on walls, trying to. ae look engrossed in conversation. m How could they be? It’s mostly B idle chatter, two-bit gossip and drunken’ gibberish. As the Bevening goes on, the. talk becomes increasingly unin- telligible and senseless, until it finally sinks to the level of the dirty joke. My husband asked last night when we are going to give a cocktail party and pay back the people whose parties we have attended this past year. [hate to be a drag but I despise cocktail parties and [ don’t want to give _One, Must [? — Rather Be Home With A Good Bock. DEAR RATHER: Try to sell him on small dinner parties. They are more work, more expensive and more time- consuming, but a lot more fun. Good luck. DEAR ANN: LANDERS: = Recently you blasted people who give “dead fish” hand- m shakes, Shame on you, Annie. fe Old girl. You've erred, The limp me hand does not necessarily mean | me the person is a clod or that he B lacks oomph, It can mean the fe poor devil has arthritis, ] have suffered with this affiiction for a years and it is a corse. When | shake hands I protect myself by avoiding a tight grip. I don't feel I should apologize. I just hope the other party understands. — m Seen In The Best Joists. DEAR SEEN: Sorry I of- fended all you arthrifics out there but how is a person 10 know if nothing is said?

We carry the same surname, one which is. very common,~ like -the English names Smith or Jones: We are and mine do not feel we should be married because we' might have had a common ancestor several centuries ago. The. prohibition against marrying a blood relative dates back many centuries when incest was common for political and financial reasons. The children of incestuous marriages were. often abnormal. © a “We both respect our parents and do not want. to burt them, but we believe this ancient taboo has nothing to do with us and we want. to be married, What do you advise? — Kissing Cousins In Name Only Dear Kissing: Even if you and your boyfried did have a ‘common ancestor “several cenluries . ago,” chances are extremely remote against producing an abnormal child for that reason. In most states- first cousins are allowed to marry, and this is a fairly close blood relationship. Ask your clergyman to explain this to your parents. Dear Ann Landers: I recently acquired a secretary who calis me by my first name -- and not even my. full name at that, She -shortens it, I am uncomfortable with this sort of familiarity but I am afraid if Isay something to her ‘she will think I have become a pompous executive. - How should I handle the situation? -- Pittsburgh P.G. Reader Dear Pit: If you'd rather that your secretary net call you by ‘your first name, tell her so. A boss who doesn't want the level of familiarity which a- first name suggests is nat necessarily pompous. The boss has the right to set the tone in his office and if he opts for a more formal business-like atmosphere, it is her prerogative. - Is alcoholism a disease? How can the alcoholic be treated?

Man and the Land" by John K. Naysmith, just published by the | Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, a new concept of conservation is discussed against a background 1 ‘of the Canadian Arctic. Mir.

' Nevertheless, it is probably accurate to say that at no other time has universal awareness of m . the natural environment been keener than it is today. For Canadians, the recent.advent of development in the Arctic and | ‘sub-Aretic regions has brought | into focus the accompanying: responsibility for .minimizing. those practices’ which have @ 2 detyimental effect upon natural environment.” F f .The author outlines the steps pf being taken by the Department ' a through, legislation to achieve this objective.

Casualties rose 55 per cent over the 204 in March 1970 while in the first quarter. of i871. a total of 767 Canadian concerns failed, some 24per cent above the 621 in the comparable period a year ago. Dollar liabilities soared to’ $52.8. -million,.-more than doubling February's $19.7 million .and substantially exceeded the $11.5 million incurred in’ March 1970. March's dollar losses reached the highest amount for any month since February 1960. While .cagualties. involving liabilities of $5,000 to $25,000 upturned to the highest number since ‘65, those for $100,000 or more surged _ to an unprecedented peak.. In - fact, over one-half March's liabilities were concentrated in eleven inillion . dollar banruptcies whose losses aggregated $28 rnillion. Cumulative losses in the first quarter of this year amounted to $98.3 million, 41 per cent larger than the previous year’s first quarter pace of $69.5 million. Two Functions, manufacturing and_ retailing, had heaviest mortalties since the early 1930’s while service failures soared to a new record. The climb — in construction casualties was less far-reaching -- they were not.as numerous as in March 1966. ‘Wholesaling was only exception to general upturn as its till eased two notches from February's eight-month high, but like all other functions, wholesaling had more concerns failing in March 1971 than in the same month a year- ago. . Geographically, seven provinces had more concerns failing in March than in February. While failures in the Province of Quebec rose the highest since 1967 and in the Province of Ontario casualties _reached the highest since 1965, ‘record climbs were noted in Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Business casualties in Canada's largest cities as well as non-metropolitan areas increased over February and year-ago levels but the increases were less steep in the cities than in the rest of the country. ° = Service Schedule - 9:45 Sunday School 11:00 Morning Worship AT THE LOCAL CHURCHES EU U DTU TULL: PENTECOSTAL TABERNACLE = Sunday School 10:00 a.m. = = Morning Worship 1:00am. .
