Lake, McHenry and Woodstock. 13,242 meals have been served since then. 1,062 member participants have registered tar tike program. One hundred and seventy-seven people have volunteered many, many hours of service. Numbers may mean a lot to the Department on Aging, but to the council, people are the important thing. New friends, old friends, good food, and someone to enjoy it with, that's happiness. There are well over 15,000 Seniors in McHenry county. If the council can make sure that each one knows about the Meet and Eat programs, the goal will be assured.

It's a girl born Sunday, Jan. 29, to Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Robelia of McHenry. Can't enjoy his good life Q. I am 32 years old. I've been married four times and have four children, all by different marriages. My last wife just left me after tolerating me for four years. I just don't want to live any more. Actually, I've been depressed all my life. What it boils down to is that I have never been able to enjoy life so I have given up and just sit home and feel sorry for myself. I have my own home, my own business and don't owe a cent to anyone. I've worked hard for everything I have. I am told I have every reason in the world to be happy, but I'm not. The doctors tell me there is nothing they can do to help me. Thank you for any help you can give. A. Your problem, it seems to us, is an acute disorganization, a total lack of a life goal. Four wives and four children at 32 years certainly doesn't add up to a creative life experience. People are wrong when they tell you that you have every reason to be happy. In fact, you have every reason not to be happy. We suggest that you make a list of what you would like from life and decide what you would like your life to be. then do a creative reconstruction job on the attitudes that have turned four marriages into failures. Once you start reorganizing your personality you will have taken the first step toward a happy life. We have a booklet, Enthusiasm!, that has helped others with problems such as yours, ana a ^ppy on it is on its way to you. Anyone else wishing a free copy may s^ceive one by writing to us in care of Box 500, Pawling, NY 12564. Wants to be alone Q. One day eight years ago when I was at work I was called to the office and told my 18-year-old son was just killed in a car wreck. I guess it was the shock-I never could go back to work and since then I have wanted to just be alone. I can't talk to my husband and other children like I once could. I get all upset until I can get all alone by myself. They have got where they don't come around very much any more. I am living a very lonely life. I don't want to be like this, but I don't know what to do about it. The doctors can't seem to help. I'll be looking for an answer. ** v A. Eight years ago you did, indeed, go through a tragic experience. The result was a personality shock from which you have never recovered. As terrible as the experience was, it is abnormal that you should still remain in shock. You must take yourself in hand and force yourself to be natural with your husband and your other children. By not doing so you are treating them unfairly. As you act normally you will presently become normal in your handling of grief. You can change if you will to do so. Start today by deciding to act like a responsible person and a loving wife and vother. Wants to Make up Q. I'm a 13-year-old girl and I used to go with a 19-year-old male. Then we broke up and he went with someone else. Now he is hinting that he would like to go with me again. My mother says that she doesn't care if I go with him, but my father says I shouldn't for the way he treated me. Also when I talk to my father he says do what you want to do. How do I get my father to like him? Please hurry with this letter. I'm desperate and neeu to know. A. Being desperate means that you are too uptight. A boy friend to a 13-year-old girl isn't all that important. There are many others where he came from. The only way you can get your father to like this particular boy is for the boy to be worth liking. Anyway, he isn't bound to you or anybody else and he has a right to go with other girls. In fact, he should do that. And in the next few years you, too, should be making lots of boy and girl friendships. If there is something you would like to ask Dr. and Mrs. Peale to Mort Crim, television and radio journalist, author and lecturer will be the main speaker at the luncheon session for the thirty-first annual Patriotic conference of the Illinois Ladies auxiliary.
