‘Should kids
keep name of
thief-father?

DEAR ANN LANDERS: 1 married at 17, too young of
course, but nobody could tell me anything, We had a son and
a daughter within two years, .

When I was 20 my husband was killed ina holdup. Pm
sorry to say, he was trying to rob a currency exchange ard a
policeman shot him,

Three years have passed and it has taken me until now
to regain my self-respect, The problem is this: Seven months
ago I met a wonderful men, His wife and two children were
killed in a fire last year, He wants to marry me and be a
father to my children. Last week he asked if I would have the
children’s last names changed legally so their names would
be the same as ours, I want to but my inlaws are against it,
My late husband was thetr only son and they want his children
to carry on the family name, Please advice me, Iam unable
to sleep at night. — TORTURED J .

DEAR J.; Your question would be easier to duck than
answer, but here’s the advice: :

Your future husband's wishes should take precedenceover
the wishes of your late husband’s parents. Agree to change

_the children’s names, I admit the circumstances surrounding
their father’s death influenced my decision,

DEAR ANN LANDERS: I often read letters in your column
from women who are mad at their husbands because they won't
fix the fence or paint the garage or do some other darned fool
thing. One wife complained because her husbandthrew his socks
in the laundry hamper wrong side out, These women have got
be crazy or else they are just looking for something to gripe
about,

I have five chiidren and an 11-room house, I painted the
house both inside and out last spring and enjoyed every minute
of it, Last fall I bought several slabs of old marble when the
courthouse was torn down and made a beautiful bathroom and
patio, My next project is to build a barbecue pit,

I love gardening and my zinnlas have won prizes at the
county fair. I raise all the vegetables we eat, Last year I
filled up the storeroom with 200 jars of tomatoes, peas,
carrots, beets, and rhubarb,

l’s 6:00 A.M, as I write this letter and my house is

' spotless, I'm going to work in the yard for a few hours before
Ido the week’s baking. I thought the men in your reading
audience might like to know that ALL wives are not lazy,
— ZIPPY SELMA

DEAR ZIPPY: Well bully for you! A letter like yours is
guaranteed to start at least 87,000 four-door fights.

Have you had your thyroid checked lately? It might not
be a bad idea. . _

DEAR ANN LANDERS; I stayed home from work yesterday
because I had a bad cold, My wife was doing the laundry so
T answered the telephone, Some man must have been trying
to call the Coast Guard and got our number by mistake, He
wanted to know if the coast was: clear. When I told my wife
about it her face turned awfully red. What do you think of
‘this? — EDDIE

DEAR EDDIE; I think the joke is older than Tam, and
Pm no kid, I see your letter comes from Cambridge, I trust
you made the Dean’s List, Buster,
