DEAR ABBY
The Head Count Fails Him
By ABIGAIL VAN BUREN,

DEAR ABBY: Recently a
married couple and I IA
single mani decided to join
together and buy a wedding
gift for a mutual friend.
When it came time for shar-
ing the cost of the gift, we
had a difference of opinion
as what the fair share for
each of us should be.
My idea was to count the
heads and divide the total
charge by three. The cou-
ple's idea was that, since
they were a married couple,
they should be considered
"one." In other words, they
the married couple-should
pay half and !, the single
man, should pay half. Who,
in your opinion, was correct?
COUNTING HEADS.
A married couple may have
two heads, but they have
only one pOcketbook, so they
Evening star., 1961-11-30

were correct to assume that
in sharing the cost with you,
they should pay half and
you should pay half. Your
mistake was in not having
a clear understanding be-
fOrehand.

DEAR ABBY: What do

sends his wife a birthday
card which reads, TO MY
SWEETHEART ON HIS
BIRTHDAY"-and on the in
side it says, HAPPY BIRTH

so hurt in all my life to
think that my husband didn't
care enough about me to read
the card more carefully be-
fore he sent it. What should
I do?

OF course, not everyone

EACH WEEK many let
ters come from distraught
wives of chronic alcoholics.
They are trapped, they say,
and know of no way out of
their difficulties. Here is a
letter from a woman who
suggests how to face up to
this problem:
Dear DR.. Steincrohn; In
answer to Mrs. KS problem
about a drinking husband
which appeared in a recent
column, I hope to bring a
word of encouragement. I
have been married to an al
coholic for seven years. We
have three lovely children
and by the grace of God and
the help of the Al-Anon
Family Group, we are still
together.
This group consists of
wives, mothers, friends and
other relatives Of alcoholics.
We look upon alcoholism as
a sickness. We have meetings
just as the AA does. In dis
cuSsing our problems openly
with others, we have found
that we are not ashamed to
face the fact that alcoholism
is a factor in our family life.
Our meetings give us a better
outlook on life and give us
hope that someday our loved
ones will cast off the
shackles.
I have learned to be thank
ful for every minute of So
briefly. I have stopped look
ing for the big deals in life
and have settled for the
smaller ones. 1t is not so
much the experiences of to-
day that drive men mad, but
remorse and bitterness for
the things that happened
yesterday. And the dread of
what tomorrow may bring.
That is why I say we must
live one day at a time.
My own husband still
drinks, but ! thank God it
is not as bad as it used to
be. But until he learns to
stay sober, at least ! have
friends I can rely on. My
Al-Anon gives me courage to
keep our family together. /

Professor of Education, University
Of Southern California

If that tense teen-ager in
your family had a COW to
milk before breakfast, or
some wood to split before
leaving for school, it's likely
his tensions would vanish.
Our world demands less
physical activity than it once
did. Without ways of working
off our tensions we can have
q rugged day. In teen-agers,
tensions can lead to rowdi-
ness and other misbehavior
problems.
At least one teacher who
reasoned that a working off
of tensions might help, tried
it, and found extremely en-
couraging results.
He talked it over with his
principal. They decided to

This would seem to sug-

Certainly, no one can per-

The tense teen-ager can't
either. He doesn't even know
what's wrong with him. So
ciety tells him he must go

to learn?
These boys do feel adequate
for their anti-social and anti

tense state. They do not feel
adequate to applying their
best efforts to classroom
work. They probably couldn't
even if they were willing to
try.

 The ceremony was followed by the National Guard sponsored para chute drops; the giving out of free ice cream bars to the kiddies; the Rotary Club train; children's races; and a free-to-the-public barbecue. The latter was sponsored by the Jaycees.
 The day began with clear skys with very little wind, making it ideal for the jumps. The sky later became overcast, with mild driz- gle following.

Garry the torch of freemen," 1" Chaplain Bob Vaughan admonished his listeners at the Independence Day flag raising ceremony held at the Small Boat Harbor on the Fourth of July.
 We face another terrible tyrany in Communism" he said, "but no worse than others in the past"
 He cited the set-up in our own government, with its checks and balances, which he said, serves to protect us from ourselves"
 What is the secret of retaining our freedom in this land of ours?" he asked He answered by stating that it was necessary for the peo- pie of the U. S. to accept full re- sponsibility-the responsibility of safeguarding the torch of freedom.
 Our greatest foe," he said, "is when we prosper, and complacent attitude is the great danger" Ad- versity brings us together, he con tended.
 Chaplain Vaughan called on his listeners to renew their respect for national law. He asked them to incite a like respect iii those who do not. He asked that this genera tion transmit the nation to succeed ing generations better than it was given them.
 A short parade preceded the flag raising ceremonies. The parade consisted mainly of marching units from the Naval Station, lead by the Navy band, the Boy Scout drum and bugle corps, Girl Scouts, the Amer ican Legion and Veterans of For eign Wars. A novel entry in the parade, sponsored by. Lockheeds was that of three boys dressed to represent a rocket, satellite and the moon.

Rotary Host To NC Parachutists

The eight members of the An chorage National Guard Sports Parachute Club who gave spec tacular display of parachute jumps on the Fourth of July, were guests of the Rotary Club at it's meeting held Wednesday noon at the 49 Room. Each member spoke briefly to the Club members present.
 Major Lloyd T. Mapes, of the U. S. Army Advisor Detachment, who led the group in it's jumping display, in his speech, praised the members of the group, and out lined the groups aims and pur- poses, and told of the clubs .organi- zation. He said it has only been in existence since February of this year, and has a paid-up member ship of 12. He said all participants must be National Guardsmen, and must furnish his own equipment.
 Mapes praised the fine hospital ity of Kodiak citizens, and the ex- cellent cooperation received, with out which, he said, the jumps could never have been held.
 Besides Mapes, the men attend ing the luncheon were 1st It. Ron- aid Smyth, Sgt. Bradley Morleans, Sp-5 Thomas Fisher, Sp-4 Richard Simons, Airman First Class John Liba, SIPS Fred Yenny and PFC Larry Gillespie.
