Duplicate numbers were issued and drawn by the members. After finding their partners, groups of ten were asked to "do their thing", which resulted in dancing, singing and skits. Refreshments were served following this impromptu and enjoyable session. Among the _ business discussed was the success of the recently completed Driver Refresher course conducted by Messrs. James Jansen and John Doerr. Several members received acknowledgments for participation. The Drivers Refresher course is very beneficial to senior citizens, as it refreshes their memories in regard to traffic signals, and other important facts, and helps them pass the written test more easily. Spring fever was triggered when tour chairman, John Doerr, announced a Pitt- sburgh-Cubs baseball game scheduled for Aug. 5. Another trip planned is a tour of a bakery in the Deerfield area and a lun­ cheon, April 28.

I am a divorced woman of 25. My life is one of constant grief over the loss of my husband. I love him dearly. I do feel he loves me also but is interested in other people and his "free" life. We have tried to reunite, but we cannot seem to forget our past and our differences regarding marriage and husband and wife roles, I desperately want our marriage to reunite with another ceremony to show a new start. It seems I am being too forward and insistent. Should J. leave him alone and try to make a life of my own for my daughter and me? A. If your husband went so far as to legally divorce you, he wanted to break off the marriage. He may love you, as you say, but it's evident that he did not love you enough to stay with you. *» We would hope the marriage mught be reinstated, but when you have exhausted every effort to resume, you just have to go forward on your own. In fact, if you accept the situation in a dignified and friendly manner with no nagging or insistence, that in itself might restore your ex-husband's love on a stronger basis. We are sending you our booklet, 12 Steps to a Happy and Successful Life, which is free to any reader of this column. Write to us at Box 500, Pawling, N. Y. 12564. Weekend Drunk Q. My husband is an every-night-after-work and every- weekend drinker. If there is anything to celebrate he will- winning at raffles, everything. It's so bad my nerves are shot Hie kids, ages 1 and 4, just scream when we fight He drives on the lawn, digging it up when he's drunk. He says he works and deserves to get drunk anytime he wants. I love him and I hate to get a divorce, but it seems the only way to keep my sanity and my kid's nerves calm. Please help me. A. Your husband may possibly be alcoholic. We suggest you contact a member of alcoholics anonymous and ask advice and help. This man's uncontrolled and violent reactions under the influence of alcohol and his every night and every weekend drinking suggests that he needs attention rather than abandonment tough as it is for you. What About Sexual Fantasies? Q. Recently I have been reading in different magazines of people who fantasize about having sex with someone other than their own mate. Seems to me like that would be the same as cheating on their own mate. What is your opinion on this? A. The bible says that lusting after a person means having adultery with them in your own heart. So lusting is sinful. However, there is an old saying to the effect that "You cannot prevent birds from flying over your head, but you can keep them from building nests in your hair." That is to say that if a lustful or sipful thought comes and you repel it you experience no guilt In fact you gain strength from having expelled the thought If there is something you would like to ask Dr. and Mrs. Peale, write to them at box 500, Pawlir*, N.Y. 12564. Many of the leaders from Valley View Neighborhood Girl Scouts (McHenry area) were enrolled in a first aid course recently, to earn their Red Cross certification. Passing the course will enable the women to take the Girl Scouts camping and on other outings required by the GSUSA to have a certified first aider in attendance. The girls in Brownie Troop 464 have been discussing how to be 'ready helpers' to outdoor animals. They made birdfeeders by stringing apples, oranges, raisins, popcorn and cheerios. It's nice to know there are some who are doing things for all the little outdoor friends this winter. Another concerned group directed their in­ terests to the Cambodia Relief fund. Brownie troop 402 did extra jobs at home to earn money for this cause. They also have been discussing nutrition and made a well-balanced meal. For strictly fun times, these girls went roller skating and ice skating. " A trip was planned by Brownie troop 407 to visit a local do-nut shop and learn all about its operation. Brownie troop 211 visited the McHenry Rescue squad recently, and they also planned to go roller skating! During their meetings, the girls are presently making 'sit-upons', using vinyl that was donated. With the approach of "Thinking day" in February, Brownie troop 480 has been studying the life of Juliette Low. The girls have also been busy working on the Brownie B chart. Badges are being worked on at the meeting of Junior Troop 410. The current one is Weaving, and when that is finished, they will start on Hospitality and Cooking badges. On March 27, they have scheduled a Parents and D a u g h t e r s b a n q u e t featuring the food the girls will make while working on their badges. Their learning experience will also provide enjoyment for the parents. Junior Troop 320 went on a tour of a local restaurant which was very interesting, and then they enjoyed eating some of the food. One of the requirements of the Pet badge prompted a trip to the Woodstock Animal Control center by Junior Troop 190. The girls also planned a roller skating party at a local rink, with sister Brownie troops, for a 'bridging' activity. Members of Junior troop 88 have been working on a play, "Raggedy Ann and Andy and the Rainy Day Circus" for presentation at the Carestoel Professional Care center. Their play was performed as a dress rehearsal for parents and also presented to their sister Brownie troops 150 and 480. In addition to their own learning experiences, the leaders offer many op­ portunities to the girls in their troop to have fun while expanding their knowledge.
