14 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdoy; August 2, 1967 | An Un Dear Ann Landers: I laughed over the letter about B (only) N (only) Jones who wound up in the army with the name Bonly Nonly. It's bad enough when such things happen by accident, but what do you think about parents who would intentionally give a child a crazy name? I read recently where some- one who researched odd names through Social Security listings came across Tin Cans, Safety First, Never Gamble, July Bonus, Pork Chop, True Story and Born Young. The one that took the cake was the name Mr. and Mrs. Around hung on their newborn son. They chris- tened the boy Stick. Why would parents do this to a child? Doesn't it mean they have a perverted sense of hu- mor?--Just Asking. dear Just: Not necessarily. Some parents want to give their child a name no one will forget. If I ever meet Stick Around I'll never forget him. How about you? Dear Ann Landers: What a relief to read a letter in your column from a woman who has the same problem I have. For years I thought I was the only wife in the world whose hus- band collected pornography, hid it under the rugs, in the trunk of the car, and even in the raf- ters of the attic. When I first discovered my husband's "hobby," I was dis- gusted and shocked. He con- fessed that his intense interest Boon Or Burden? usual Name begged him to get psychiatric help but he refused. When our son found part of his collection he agreed to see a doctor. Al- though he is far from cured, he now understands his illness and is trying to get better. I hope other wives who share this problem will recognize it is a sickness, Please tell them it takes a great deal of strength and courage to live with some- body else's problem, but it can be done, and I know it can be done, because I have been doing it--Des Moines Dear D. M.: Cheers for you. And for the thousands (yes, I said thousands) of other women who wrote to say they, too, are living with husbands who col- lect pornography. A problem understood is a problem half solved. Thanks to all of you CHILD GUIDANCE By GARRY C. MYERS, PhD Throughout our nation news- papers have been folding up at a rapid rate. More and more cities are left with only one newspaper. Will the day come when they have none? What will this trend mean to the amount of ireading the aver- age parent and growing child does? Will it decrease the read- ing in the average U.S. home? Of course, the circulation of the monthly and weekly magazines is increasing. But most of them can be read in an evening and they are containing less and less reading matter and more and more pictures. Most may be read on the run or by brows- ing through their pages. With paperbacks increasing, some who don't read newspa- pers may read these books. But of our total population, how many will read anything? Won't they depend on TV more and more? Some day the school may be the only place where reading will -be done. Even who wrote to say, "Me, too." | Dear Ann Landers: I am 18 and going steady with a fellow |19. Jamie dated a girl for three years before I knew him. He} says it was kid stuff and his| love for me is much greater than the feeling he had for her. He did admit that she broke off | with him, however. j Jamie is very fond of this/ girl's parents. When we first began to date he used to take | me over there at least twice a week. | They are nice people but I} was awfully uncomfortable in| their presence and told him so.| A few times his ex-sweetheart | was at home when we arrived there, TV and other visual aids Jout ANN L ANDERS_|s Reading Decreasing In The Average Home? may gradually supplant books. Some years ago, I heard a physician say he was so glad there was TV so "we don't feel we must read much." Perhaps many others feel this way. The place for reading in the {future doesn't look very large. |Will there come a time when more and more persons will be illiterate? SCHOOLS STIMULATE Many elementary schools are doing well at stimulating chil- dren to read books in addition to their schoolbooks. Slow as they are in developing, school libraries, local libraries and book mobiles are doing well in this direction too. Moreover some parents make their family into a readin family where children may imitate them at frequent read- ing. Many young parents are reading to children during their preschool years and are encour- aging babysitters to read to young children in their care. |Many publishers are bringing , ANSWERING QUESTIONS attractive books for this purpose and good children's magazines are available. Furthermore, some parents are reading the newspaper crit- ically and discussing the news on its pages with their school age children. As I pointed out earlier, in some families, chil- dren are reading and discussing news items in the smaller county and community newspa- per. MORE EFFORT But learning to read and reading usually require more effort than watching a screen which may require only two eyes and two ears with not much back of them. The mod- ern trend among most adults and children is to avoid effort when easily possible. Parents who care about the future of their children wish to have these children become good readers and to spend hours and hours all their lives at reading. They find ways to fulfill this wish. | The Most Fur-r-rific Q. Why do you advise school children to sit up in a straight chair to do homework instead of | lying down? A.
