My alcoholic husband is still drinking, and like E. 0. M.'s husband he insists he has no problem. The council has helped me keep from cracking up.

The organization is called Al- Anon, They have both noon and évening meetings in our city. I can truthfully say the meetings have made a different person out of me. Children who must live with an alcoholic should attend Ala- teen meetings (another group). I know of two fathers who went A because of the help their children got from Alateen. So please tell E. O.

M. that precious few alcoholics can stop drinking without out-| side help, and from the descrip-| tion of her husband (mean, sullen, punitive) he may be off the booze, but he is still in trouble--a dry drunk. The emo-| tional problems which drove him to excessive drinking are unresolved, witness his terrible school. Her English teacher (a woman in her. late 20s) has been living with a man of poor repu- tation for several months, She wears an engagement ring. It is apparent that this woman is pregnant. Do you feel she should be al- lowed to continue to teach? My husband and I are horrified at the poor example this teacher is setting for her students. | Should we report her to the board of education or should we arrange to have our daughter transfer to another school?-- |Perplexed Parents Dear Perplexed: Unless your where the faculty and adminis- tration is blind I cannot under- stand how the teacher goes un- noticed by the principal.

You can be sure that if this teacher is pregnant (which I doubt) she won't be around much longer.

The theme of the meet- ing was "Family Life" and it being fathers' night, there was a g00G aliendance of parenis io benefit from the topics debated. The chairman, Mrs. Douglas Skinner, had arranged the panel consisting of a moderator, Mrs. Robert Peacock and _ panel members, Mr. Barnard Lewis of the Children's Aid Society; Sergeant William Tane of the Oshawa Police representing the adult view; and teen-agers Lynda Skinner and Glenn Han- cock with their point of view. The topics discussed had been picked from compositions of the grade 8 students of Mr.. Robert 'Walker and covered allowances, Study habits, baby-sitting, use of telephone, social life, home entertainment, hair styles, make-up, forms of punishment and possibly the most impor- tant, communication between teen-ager and parent. One important fact emerging from the discussions was that teen-agers must keep in mind that the image they present! through clothes, hair styles, | manners in public and general behavior, was a direct reflec- tion on their parents and their home life and should reflect the respect they felt and owed to their parents, Communication between par-| ent and teen-ager could not be stressed too much for most problems could be _ solved through a little give-and-take on both sides. The panei was intro- duced by Mrs. William Pierson and thanked by Mrs. Skinner. A warm welcome was extend- ed to the fathers by the presi- dent, Mrs, Jack Dewell.

European Home CALGARY (CP) -- Canada's homemaking service is a "'babe in arms" compared with the European service, says Hilda Phillips, supervisor of the Cal- ary family service bureau's jomemakers' department. "Because homemakers' serv- ices in most European countries are state - subsidized, more women can be trained." In Canada, due te the short- age of homemakers, their pur- pose is to "'tide over, not take over" when a mother is ill. A maximum stay in any house- hold in Calgary is about six weeks, Mrs. Phillips says.
