Lee, left, president, Oshawa and district WCTU and Mrs, Charles Langfield, Ontario the Women's Christian Tem- perance Union, finds loyal MRS. W. S&S. WATSON, centre, national president of MARY HAWORTH'S MAIL Dear Mary Haworth: We have had eight children. All are grown and six are married and away from home. We have two sons at home, the elder 33, the other 28. The elder is divorced. He came home as we couldn't see him on the loose and he was so up- set about his wife's conduct. It is now five years and he and his brother never give us a cent for food, lodgings or any- eithing. I do their laundry, cook- 4 \ing and cleaning. I have asked several times if they would help with the food bills but they just ignore me. I know parents are supposed to care for their children but I feel, as my husband does, but this is an imposition at their lage. | We are buying our house and my husband wants to retire at age 65, which is six months away. But it looks as if we can't with the boys here, WANT FREEDOM My husband earns $195 monthly take-home pay and gets $150 monthly from a trust fund National President WCTU Claims Alcohol Is An Addictive Drug A visitor in Oshawa on Friday tyranny of the liquor propa- was Mrs. W.

I just don't seem able to make them understand that we, their Mom and Dad, want to spend our last years in peace, without having to take care of them. They read your columns all the time and maybe you can help 'me get the household straightened out. Thank you in advance. V.M. DON'T BEG Dear V.M.: Well, if your sons are reading this column today, I've got news for them. They are committing a crime against decency in sponging off their parents, year after year, paying nothing whatsoever for their board and keep, while holding good jobs, maintaining their own cars and having dates (which also means throwing money around.) On the other hand, you and their father are also at fault in the situation, simply because you put up with it, in your chicken - hearted, too obliging fashion, To straighten things out, don't waste your breath trying to -|while keeping four adults and |meeting our expenses.

Rather, put them on notice to begin paying their freight in a business-like fashion, starting (say) Dec. 1-- or make it Jan. 1, if you prefer --or else find other accommoda- tions for themselves. Tell them to take their choice; that you and Dad are entering into the last lap of planning for his retirement and you must re- vise your financial arrangement accordingly, which means you ean't afford to continue carry- ing them on your back. PROFESSIONAL COUNSEL Be prepared, in your own mind, to balk at doing their laundry, feeding them at your table, keeping their room in or- der, etc., if they fail to pay up when the due-date dawns. If there is a family service agency or a legal aid bureau in your town or county seat, you may find it helpful to get some first-hand professional guidance in deciding on a suitable assess- ment from the "boys." I suggest that each should pay, at the very least, not less than $50 monthly while staying with you. One thing sure, they will never find a better bargain elsewhere. Another thought: By screen- ing your plan through a coun- selling service, you will be bet- ter fortified to see it through in the proper spirit, in the event that you have to use moral pressure in the final analysis to convince the boys that their free ride is ended.
