Ask Ann Landers Antique chairs

in danger when fat ladies sit

DEAR ANN LANDERS: Why is it that fat women usually have a goad bit of blubbex between their ears as well as other places?

A relative of mine weighs at least 200. She has a pretty, face and in her earlier days was considered a luscious morsel, Her memory serves her better than her mirror, however, and I fear she stlll fancies herself a real cutie pie although her skirts are screaming at the seams and the zippers:are crying for mercy. am

Here is the problem: We owned a beautiful antique chair, It was a dainty piece, plush-covered velvet with Queen Anne legs and gracefully curved arms. Every time Fat Stuff came to call she planted herself in that chair. Last night it happened — as I knew it must one day. The back legs gave way and she went crashing to the floor. Fortunately she was not hurt (her natural padding would probably have pro- tected her against a three-storey drop), but the chair is in splinters.

My husband plecked her up and muttered, ‘I wish you had sat on the sofa.'? She replied angrily, ‘Chairs are to sit on, aren’t they? If this thing was-for show purposes why didn’t you put it in a glass case?’

Is she right about this? When we get the chair re- paired how do we prevent a recurrence? S08

DEAR 8$,0,8.; A woman who weighs 220 should have known that antique chairs are not suitable for a person of

er size,

When obese guests make this mistake the host or hos- tess should take them gently by the arm (if they have already seated themselves) and say, ‘I think you would be more comfortable here’? -~ and lead them to safer ground.

DEAR ANN LANDERS; T-.. year my son (age 20) started to drink heavily aw, 1 couldn’t do a thing with him. He was never sober long enough to stay in school or holda job. He started to date a cheap little tramp and before long he lowered his moral standard to her level, After a wild summer he broke up with the girl, settled down and seemed to be doing fairly well.

The girl began to run around with two other boys, al- ternating according to who was in town, She lived at the home of Boy Number One and had the nerve to cheat on him with Boy Number Two when One was elsewhere on business.

When they caught on to her maneuvering they both cut her dead which caused her to go into a depression, The next thing I knew she was at our house, begging my son to come back to her. Like a fool he agreed and they are going to be married. I know this marriage is doomed but I can’t open my mouth because I am only his mother.

’ What should I say when I tell him I will not attend the

wedding? ; STABBED IN THE HEART

DEAR STABBED: It’s too bad you didn't see the direc- tion in which this boy was travelling before he took the detour.. No kid gets so far off the beam overnight. A 20-year-old who “drinks heavily’? must surely have manifested some symptoms of severe emotional insecurity long before he hit the bottle. Your son needs help and he has needed it for quite some time, my dear,

As for what to tell him when you refuse to attend the wedding, it will make little difference,

Some 942 years ago Mr, and Mrs, Dave Lloyd flew into Ter-

sting to cations mite phe occane: Si Swintelver operation, For Helen Lloyd the flight. was to weigh up the possi. bilities of a strange town,

“The first things I looked at were the schools and the hospi. tals,”’ she recalled,

These two items come tops on most parents’ priority list.

That's one reason why today Helen Lloyd is the president of the Mills Memorial Hospital Auxiliary,

The auxiliary is the topic for this week’s item on women’s activity in Terrace.

Mills Auxiliary president Helen Lloyd makes no bones about the fact that she heads a money-raising organization,

babies it saved was the child of a woman who had worked in the auxiliary to find the money to buy it,

Helen Lioyd puts the money- raising into perspective this way: “Tt’'s rewarding to go down tothe hospital ang look at the equip- ment you have bought,’” she said,

\‘ Maybe you've saved someone's life.” ° * *

The auxiliary netted $6,341,31 last year, $4,000 went directly _| into eeuipment, More will be used ‘!to help equip the new wing, now nearing completion,

While finding the money to buy equipment is the auxiliary's Major project, it’s not just a mercenary organization,

The money comes inpainlessly from the auxiliary operated Thrift Shop on Lazelle, the Hospital shop, welcome wagon, plus fall bazaar and the hospital ball.
