_Work-a-Day R For Happy Marriage 'Dear Ann Landers: I am an '{e-year-old girl - whose parents want me to do something I con- sider cruel. Please advise me. My best friend, who is also 18, tried to commit suicide yester- day, I don't think she really' meant to kill herself. She is a smart girl and she'd know how to finish the job if she really wanted to. I think she was only seeking attention. This girl is attractive and lives in a lovely home and has plenty of money to spend. She's always had trouble with her parents. They give her money and gifts, instead of love, and she resents it. My folks say 1 must stop see- ing her because she is not right mentally and she might attack me, They also say it will hurt my reputation if I go around with her. My friend tells me things. she could never tell anyone else and I know it helps to get things off her chest. She needs me more than ever now. What shall I do? --Torn Dear Torn: Your loyalty is admirable, and I agree that it would be wrong to abandon the gir! completely. Nonetheless, you should loosen the lines. Your friend is unstable and the attachment could be destructive to both of you. She should be unloading on a psychiatrist. Urge her to get that kind of help. Dear Ann Landers: I have a problem that I have never heard of in my whole life and I'll bet you have never heard of it either. I'm 16 years old, a good stu- dent, better than average look- ing and I have plenty of dates. So what's the problem? My _mother.. She wants me to go steady, and I don't want to. My mother was born in Eu- rope and she came here at age| 19. This may account for some} of her oddideas. She says it is| not decent for a girl to date| five or six different fellows. Ac- cording to her it means that the boys pass the word from one to the other that she's an easy mark and they are all having a; good time with her. | I tried to explain that the} chances for getting intimate are reduced 'when a girl goes with many boys rather: than with one. She said, "I'd rather have you get intimate with one nice} boy than go with every boy in town." | This shocked me, What is your opinion?--Dazed | Dear Dazed: [ hate to tell | | THE STARS SAY | By ESTRELLITA FOR TOMORROW | Over-emotionalism 'will con-) tinue to afflict many on Wed-|| nesday, so use care in dealings || with others--especially those of} the opposite sex.

We thought you might enjoy hearing from a blisfully happy couple for a change. Richard and I have been mar- ried for 13 years and we have eight beautiful children. We are as much in love today as we were the day we got married. We think we have discovered the secret of a happy marriage and we want to share it with the world. Here are the rules we live by: 1, Always kiss each an argument you may have had during the day. 2. Always kiss each other be- fore leaving the house. 3. Work together and play to- gether. 4. Whichever one asks for a divorce must take the children. In closing I would like to say we don't have much money but we feel like millionaires. -- MRS, R. K. B. Dear Mrs. B.: was so sweet I decided to mellow sauce and print it. band and I read your column} CHILD GUIDANCE Children Learn Spelling With Parents' Home Aid By GARRY C. MYERS, PhD 'A number of mothers have told me of the following way they tried to help a child master the Spelling of a list of words, especially of Jong lists of hard- to-spell words. One mother tells of her boy, 12: He would follow me around while I was doing housework. I would pronounce the word. He would try .0 spell it, often spelling it wrong. I would spell it correctly and he would try again to spell it. Then, some- times he spelled it right, some- times wrong. Thus we would keep strug- gling together for an hour or more at a stretch. Sometimes we were both worn out by that) time. : Though I'm not a mother my- self, I remember trying in this way to help one of my own children some years ago: Upon reflection I am sure it is a wasteful way, even though it allows the parent to do other other} good night no matter how bad! things at the same time. In the first place, he is practicing only) by ear. Some children are more} eye-minded than ear-minded. Most seem to learn better through both hearing and see- ing. Besides, the child doesn't have the word to look at and to repeat its spelling before try- ing himself out on it, | STRAIN IS LESS The practice contributes to- wards making mistakes and re- peating them.

Such/for us, she simply couldn't tell |while looking at one word and! several times would lead, I'm sure, to far bet- ter results and would not re- quire so much emotional strain. We must admit that when we are trying a child out on the spelling of a word that we don't always keep calm and patient. Sometimes our voice, alas, rises then, when the harm can be very great to the child. é Mothers who help the child at spelling while they are busy about the house, might wisely have the printed words where the child can see them, prefer- able each word on a card. An- other good modification might be for the mother to spell some of the words aloud while the child is listening. Perhaps the best help a busy parent may give the child with spelling is to spell any word he wishes her to spell while he is writing a letter or doing his written homework. Unfortu- nately, many parents suppose they should not do this but should tell the youngster to ivok it up in the dictionary. WILL OFTEN. GUESS But, as a rule, he won't but will take a chance and guess at the word, often spelling it wrong Yet we want the child to acquire a spelling conscience.

Telephone. Voice Carries An Image Of Your Personality By ROBERTA ROESCH Do you spoil your opportuni- ties, when you've just. about opened a job door, by conduct- ing yourself ineffectually on the telephone? Unfortunately, this happens when people forget the fact that the way they sound on the tele- phone projects the kind of im- age that gives them an "in" or gets them an "out" in a poten- tial employer's mind. One girl, for instance, who applied for a jvb with a bank executive lost it when she al- most had it because of her tele- phone manner. "When I called her to set up an interview," her perspective employer said, 'ther audible sigh when she said "Hello" and the coolness in her manner turned me against her so quickly that I never even both- ered to tell her the purpose. of cial continued, "was: that she had been told I might be able to use her. But she never stated specifically what she could. do. "Because of the way she sounded," the personnel man- ager said, "I had-no desire to hire her even though there was a job. available." These incidents should be warnings to check on your tele- phone manner, especially if you have an inkling it's not doing much for you. Then, if it needs improving, make these five pointers your habit. A. Create a good first impres- sion by answering each call with a cheery "'Hello" or a friendly "Mr. Brown's (or whatever your boss' name happens to be) office," depending on whether you are at home or at work j}when a call comes in. 2. Avoid sounding cool, de- tached, uninterested or tired. Try using some contagious en- thusiasm--but don't overdo it. 3. Prepare yourself to be spe- cific instead of vague by. col- lecting your thoughts for poten- tial calls ahead of time. Also gather together all the informa- tion you'll need for ig cells you--sre.-geing--t6 ke and incoming calls you expect. 4. Stick to the subject under discussion and don't waste the time of the' person on the other end of the line. by wandering off.inte. teo many. irrelevant details. 5. Say a pleasant Goodby be- fore you hang up so your leave- taking will sound just as pleas- ant as it would at the conclusion of a personal interview. BRAINS OVER SPORT HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (CP)-- Dan Blocker, star of TV's Bon- anza and the father of four, thinks schools should take def- inite steps to make academics and not sport the source of prestige and popularity.
