Page 6-PLAlNDEALER-HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27.1985 Life today Mom tells son: motel's bath towels don't belong at home DEAR ABBY: "A1C in Newberg, Ore." wrote: "My wife and I have a disagreement we think you can settle. Do women have one more rib than men?" Your answer was: "Dear Al: Men and women have the same number of ribs. (Who is ribbing whom?)" Abby, you quote Scripture from time to time, so I would have thought that you would remember Genesis 2:21-22: "And the Lord caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead there of. And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, he made a woman, and brought her unto the man." Women have one more rib than men. FUNDAMENTALIST DEAR FUNDAMENTALIST: With all due respect to the Old Testament, he who seeks the knowledge of the number of ribs hath man and woman had best look upon the X-rays of both. Then let him go forth and compareth. CONFIDENTIAL TO S.G.J., TRENTON, N.J.: The Trenton Times is no more immune to typographical errors than any other newspaper, but sometimes it's wise to leave bad enough alone. I submit an amusing exchange that appeared in this space five years ago to illustrate that point: DEAR ABBY: My mother recently passed away after a brief illness. In the obituary published in our local newspaper, her age was given as 89. Abby, my mother was only 80, so it was apparently a typographical error. Now mis may not seem very important to some people, but Mother was a very vain and prideful woman who would never tell her age. Because of this typographical error in her obituary, everyone will think she was nine years older than she actually was. Should we ask the newspaper editor to publish a correction? I say we should. The rest of the family says to skip it. OUTVOTED IN OfflO DEAR OUTVOTED: Sometimes it's better to leave bad enough alone. In support of my advice, I offer the following from the California Newspaper Publishers Association. It is an example of a typographical error in the classified section of a small-town newspaper, and the subsequent disastrous attempts to correct it: (Monday) "FOR SALE-R.D. Jones has one sewing machine for- sale. Phone 948-0707 after 7 p.m. and ask for Mrs. Kelly who lives with him cheap." (Tuesday) "NOTICE-We regret having erred in R.D. Jones' ad yesterday. It should have read: One sewing machine for sale. Cheap. Phone 948-0707 and ask for Mrs. Kelly who lives with him after 7 p.m." (Wednesday) "NOTICE:-R.D. Jones has informed us that he has received several annoying telephone calls because of the error we made in his classified ad yesterday. His ad stands correct as follows: FOR SALE-R.D. Jones has one sewing machine for sale. Cheap. Phone 948-0707 p.m. and ask for Mrs. Kelly who loves with him." (Thursday) "NOTICE-R.D. Jones, have no se Friendship club has pot luck The March Friendship Club meeting began with a potluck luncheon at noon in the Fellowship Hall of the First United Methodist Church. The decorations were beautiful, green was the color, and shamrocks were the symbol, and the host and hostess were decked out in green leis. President Larry Temple was voiceless* so vice-president Herbert Rose presided, calling the meeting to order, thanking the ladies for the delicious meal, and welcoming members. Guests were introduced and received a warm welcome. Mary Lynn Murphy, manager of Home Health Care-Hospice, from Northern Illinois Medical Center, was introduced and gave a most interesting and informative program, ex­ plaining its purpose, function, and how to arrange tor services. She answered many questions following her talk. "Happy Birthday" was sung to Harry Lundy; the only March birthday in the group. The members enjoyed a social time at the conclusion of the program. The next meeting will be Saturday, April 13, at noon, in the Fellowship Hall, when host and hostesses will included Lonah and Elver Wendlandt, Ethel Bailey, and Lyda Radisch. The meat committee will consist of Lilah Jordan, Alice Holmgren, Mary and Herbert Rose, Miriam Marticke, Grace and Adolph Borchers, and Mae Stinespring. Members of the congregation 50 years old, or older, who do not belong to Friendship Club, are invited and urged to come out and participate in the good times. State circle meeting Apr. 2 The next meeting of Marcia Mary Ball Circle of the United Methodist Women of the First United Methodist Church of McHenry will be Tuesday, April 2, at noon, in the church parlor, and Lonah Wendlandt will be the hostess. Marjorie Ricker was hostess when the group met for its March meeting. The table was beautifully decorated, depicting St. Patricks' Day, and delicious refreshments followed the theme. Mary Rose was unable to attend, so Esther Sims had meditations which were in­ teresting and inspirational. Members were advised of the date changes; the annual Spring Rummage Sale has been rescheduled to May 2, 3 and 4; and the Annual Fall Bazaar and Christmas Sale has been set for Saturday, Oct. 26. As the circle is to host the March general meeting Thur­ sday, March 21, some time was spent making arrangements for it. This will be an Agape Lun­ cheon, a sacrificial or love meal.
