I left my first wife after thirty-five years of marriage and married a young gal whom I dearly loved and who dearly loved me. I was thirty years older than she, but ours was a perfect relationship, an Impossible Dream come true. But now she has turned into a lesbian. I put up with it several years but finally left her and, believe it or not, went back to Wife Number One. I still love Wife Number Two, who still loves me, but if I stayed with her I'd have to live with her desires being elsewhere. I am heartbroken and at sea. I cannot believe what has happend to her and to me. Apparently there is no hope of lesbianism ever changing, or could it? A. Sounds like that so-called "perfect relationship, an Impossible Dream come true" turned pretty sour. You are very fortunate that Wife Number One was big enough to take back a guy who showed no more intelligence than you did. If you have any judgment at all and have any conception of which side your bread is buttered on, you'd better stick with that good woman, Wife Number One. Instead of being "at sea" and "heartbroken," you'd just better get with it and make this the real dream come true. Feeling Sorry For Self Q. My husband has a college degree, but has been unsuccessful in obtaining adequate employment. The harder we work at life, the further we get behind. We have been married five years and have been unable to have children. The doctor can run tests on us, but they are costly and we have no savings. I cannot stand to keep carrying this "feel sorry for us" attitude any longer. Others are of low income but are able to remain happy. I wake up each morning wondering what tragedy or burden will take place next. I know you cannot solve our problems, but I would appreciate some comfort and spiritual aid. A What you need, as we see it, is to cultivate - and do it fast - a positive attitude. Constant affirmation of the negative is very dangerous, for it attracts negative results. If you and your husband will start picturing or imagining a good figure and get out there and work for it, you will have it. Be warned that if you keep thinking according to your present style, you will have only trouble ahead. But you can change to the positive if you will do so.

The third meeting of the final phase of the 208 planning process for the Kishwaukee river basin has been scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 25, at the Village hall in Huntley. At this meeting, discussion will be centered upon the elements of the recommended Kishwaukee basin plan (as modified) which were distributed at a previous meeting. These recdmmendations, along with any additions or modifications formulated by the public and-or the McHenry county and Kane county local- Steering committees at this meeting will be incorporated intact into the final draft plan for this basin. This draft basin plan, after undergoing public review and an areawide hearing, will become an in­ tegral part of the 208 clean water plan that the Nor­ theastern Illinois Planning commission must submit to the governor by May 12. Thus, the Kishwaukee River Basin planning process is no more than two meetings away from its culmination. The actual meeting will begin at 10 a.m., although NIPC staff will be present at the Huntley village hall at 9 a.m. in order to answer any questions the public may have on the 208 ^program in general or past results of the Kishwaukee River Basin planning process. Active participation is needed during these final days of this two-year water quality project that undoubtedly will have a direct effect on McHenry county and its municipalities for vears to come. Those with questions should not hestiate to call John Nagy. the McHenry county 208 project coordinator, at (815 ) 338-2040, Extension 144. Church Women United People on every continent will be thinking about the high incidence of loneliness and alienation in modern life on the first Friday in March. They will seek "Community Spirit in Modern Living" as a way to serve God's will for fullness of life for all people. March 3 is World Day of Prayer, and it will be celebrated in 140 countries and thirty-three islands on that day by Christians united in study, liturgy and prayer. This year the women of Canada were chosen to write the service and have explored the conflicts, tensions and compromises of living in community under the theme "Community Spirit in Modern Living". In the United States, World Day of Prayer is sponsored by Church Women United. For the people in the McHenry area, this year's service will be held at McHenry Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church at 9:30 a m The chairpersons are Bernice Spruth and Velma York. Everyone in the com­ munity is welcome to come together for fellowship, small group Bible study, and worship. The speaker for the morning will be Rev. Kay Dillard, from Hebron United Methodist church. Child care will be provided. The first World Day of Prayer was held over 90 years ago, and the first offering was taken in 1920. Church Women United's Intercontinental Mission program, enabled by World Day of Prayer offerings, shows a consistency of concern.

Native American self-help projects, and programs for women in prison, for community development, and for ministry to the aging. The spiritual and practical influence of World Day of Prayer is powerful, good and lasting, and that's why the women who plan this event call it a "celebration".
