INIA
LANDERS

Dear. Ann Landers: These
days we hear so much about
how bad the young people are.
They get a great deal of
publicity. I want to tell you this
story from the Madison State
Journal and hope you wili print
it. It gives another side of our
young people.--the ones we don’t
hear much about.

Allen Polak is 12 years old.
When he noticed an old man in
his neighborhood was ill, feeble,
and quite alone, he wanted to
help. Allen pumped water for
the old man, cut the grass
around his place, shoveled the
snow and ran errands. He also
visited with him--listened to his
stories of the past.

When the old man died
recently he left his entire estate
to Allen, It was $2500. He
identified the boy as ‘Allen
Polak--Relationship:
Stranger.” Allen explained it
this way: “I did what I could for
him. He was my firend.”

Thank you, Ann Lancers.--
Madison, Wisconsin.

Dear Madison: That’s a
beautiful story. 1 whish there
were more like it for our
newspapers to print. Thank you
for sharing it with 54 million

people.

Dear Ann Landers: I have
read your column for several
years and our advice in the
main, is fairly sensible. I
confess I’ve lost my objectivity
and need an outside opinion.

There are two groups of
people in every city: The Party
Goers and The Party Givers.
We belong to the second
category. Over the past few
years we have entertained more
than 100 couples who have never
asked us back. We have en-
tertained some of these couples
five and six times. These same
people are frequently seen at
other parties, in fact they seem
to be invited everywhere. So far
as I know they’ve never been
known to GIVE a party. All they
do is GO.

Are they afraid to entertain?

Are they ‘iree-loaders? We
consider them friends, but we
can’t udnerstand their
reasoning. Should we continue
to invite them? Please advise.
The Hostess With The Mostess
On The Bill

Dear Hostess: Some people
don’t entertain because they
lack confidence. They. are
afraid their house isn’t nice
enough -- or perhaps their china
and silver isn’t the best, or they
don't know what ta serve or
how to serve. This is sad, of
course, because these things do
not matter. After a while you
get to know which friends suffer
from feelings of insecurity and
you forgive them.

The folks who. do entertain
and exclude you after you've
entertained them five or six
times shouldbe crossed off your
list. 1 hate to call them free-
loaders but if you can find a
better name, I'll duy it.

Dear Ann Landers: Two
years ago our son who was then
only 20 met a woman at the
wedding of our eldest son. She
was a friend of mine who had
moved here from another city-
a total nut with all the trim-
mings, about 33, divorced and a
sexpot.

Four months ago the hussy
got this innocent kid to move
into her apartment. (She has
two children.) He has tried to
come home four times but she
won't let him. They fight like
eats and dogs-throw things,
elobber one another, like in a
cheap novel, They both work at
thesame place, ride to and from
work together, and the boy is a
prisoner. Is there anything I can
do to liberate him? I know he’d
come home if he could. Tell me
what to do.—His Mother,

Dear Mother: It’s awfully
hard to liberate someone who
enjoys enslavement. The
woman sounds like a nut but the
kidis a bit ofa filbert, too. If my
arithmetic is right he's over 21
and there’s nothing you can do,

IN HOCKEY ACTION
Stung Carlings strike back

When the Terrace Carlings
skated onto the ice Wednesday
night they were still stinging
from the weekend.

Last Saturday night the local
pucksters were trounced 10-2 by
the Legion Bombers and the
Carlings didn’t feel charitable
toward anyone. -

Wednesday night they met the
Atom Motors Vegas of Kitimat
and showed they could stili put
the disc between the pipes.

Carling’s center ice men
proved to be the Kitimat clubs
undoing as each of the local
face-off kings netted the puck
twice in their 6-4 romp over the
luckless Vegas.

Paquette, Schantz and Sarich
were the Terrace Carlings
heros for the night while Lines
scored three times and Drover
once for the losers.

The value of the net-minder
was proven in the final frame as

Carting’s Parington kept the
puck. out of the net and the
Carlings in the lead.

The locals next meet will '
on Feb.17 when they battle ti

A practical person buys a practical car simply because it's practical. The fact
"that the car may be ugly doesn’t seem to hother him. But it bothered us. “Why
’ .gan’t a practical car be beautiful?” we asked. And then along came our Coupe.
The Coupe is every bit as practical as the ugliest practical car. Only ils
not ugly it’s beautiful. The steering wheel is simulated wood grain. The
bucket seats are high-back and fully reclining. The floor i is carpeted. The glass
ig tinted. The interior is padded. The ride is quiet.
From a practical point of view it gets up to 35 miles per gallon from
a powerful 73 hp engine. It has front disc brakes and an electric rear window
defroster. It's big enough for a small family, small enough to » park easily and.
surprisingly’ sells for $2173*—with everything.
So now, « practical person can buy a practical car simply. because

if S beautiful.
