DEAR ABRY: My wile, a grandmother, plays golf every
day. Yesterday she said to ma, “Honey, I think I know why
I've been playing such rotten golf lately. I'm not getting
enough loving.” She explained that her putting and chipping
were way off because she was tense and uptight instead of
relaxed.

Well, I didn’t want to let her down so I mustered some
strength hoping to improve her golf game,

This afternoon she handed me her golf scorecard as she
came off the course. lt was seven strokes less than yester-
day's!

“See, I told you!” she said. "I knew I was right!”

Abby, I still think one thing has nothing to do with the
other. What do you think? *

GOLFING GRANDPA IN S. CALIFORNIA

DEAR GRANDPA: There's only one way to find out,
Continue mustering enough strength to follow through
daily. If her ecore goes DOWN, I hope your strength holds
UP!

DEAR ABBY: We speak for countless others who, after
having spent a lifetime working to get a place of retirement,
find that we have been “had” by friends and relatives who
come out of the woodwark because we have a place on the
lake,

My husband and I built our summer place with our own
hands—clearing land, felling trees, digging wells and
building our home. In the land of 10,000 lakes, ours seems to,
be the only lake with fish in it, and of course there's a free
boat which is usually left dirty, plus dead fish here and
there.

When we're not here, they take over as if the place were
their own, bringing friends who pass the word about the fan-
tastic fishing.

We had planned an leaving this lovely place to our
children and grandchildren, but we are ready to sell—boat.
and all. ‘

We hope they take time out from fishing to read this. Sign

me...
MADIN MINNESOTA

should not blaine others because they themselves lack the
gumption to express their objections, Have you ever
thought of putting new locka on your home and boat? Hf you
are teo timid to speak your minds, that should do it for you.
