â€" â€" ThE ADVERTISER â€" Thursdoy, Sept. 17, 1964 â€" Page 10 Mechanics" â€" No one in their right mind â€" and, of course, we don‘t. Es Nn OB C on ceie oted in the army to acting, unpaid lanceâ€"corporal; the glory is too much and the money is too little and every grandmother knows there‘s a potty in her knapsack. All this has come about because our society feels that after 50, no nice woman should want to be anything but a grandmother. a conditien which combines the best features of embalming â€" it‘s permanent and sexiess. And once you‘re somebody‘s grannv, vou‘re expected to become a reformed character and give up everything which you‘ve enjoved. includâ€" ing eating with your elbows on the ‘lable. If you don‘t, it can only lead to your downfall because a grandmother‘s path is beset by curlyâ€"haired ministers and nice young men who are working their way through college bv seliing magazine subscrintions. Before anvone can save vou, the worst will have happened â€" you will spend the next month sorting underwear for the church rumâ€" mage sale and find you have a 30 year subscription to "Pepular Mashamiln But grandmotherhood does more than just sort out the girls from the grannies; it also divides women into those who yearn to be grandmothers and those who have it thrust on ‘hem â€" The former start knitting bootees secretly as soon as the bride and groom return from the honeymoom and go abou looking wistful until their suspicions are confirmed. They look :orward to pregâ€" nancy by proxy and motherhood once removed. Thev {eel ther is no justification for living to a furrowed old age without grungâ€" children to spread jam on their embroidered chair covers ana their idea of fun is to be asked to babyâ€"sii for a weckend with three little dears who are damo at both ends and noisy n the midâ€" dle. Now this is not evervone‘s idea of a hot time but the genâ€" eral public likes to think that this is what grannies enjoy most They believe that as soon as a woman becomes a granny, she stops winking at men and gets all her fulfillment out of helping to pottyâ€"train Junior. This is not necessarily so. Some women have Just learned to paint their toenails and do the Hot Potato when they‘re dragged into grandmotherhood. It‘s one of those insidious things that sneaks up on you vefore you can prepare yvourself for it; one month you can spend a quiet, civilized weekend with your son and his wife and the next time you go. you find you‘re being ealled granny by a perfect stranger who blows bubbles on your neck. No wonder many women go to pieces when it happens to them. In fact, it is the sudden shock of grandmotherhood that gives some women the urge to do something naughty before thev‘re expected to set a good example again. 4 This is why grandmothers should not be overlocked in the Zurrent wave of free sex instruction; they need it. When they Avere girls, sex hadn‘t been invented: in tnose days of innocence and long drawers, a proposition was a mathematical formula and & wolf was what Red Ridinghood met. As a result. grendmothers Are illâ€"equipped to face the hazards oi modern loving. The real «langer, of course, is that if she‘s not careful she loses her identity and becomes somebody‘s grannv; she may be blonde and breathâ€"‘ taking. but if she takes up stockâ€"car racing. she can count on beâ€" ing billed as the Racing Grandmother: if she met a man in a flyingâ€"saucer. the headlines would read "Grandmother â€" meets Martians". In fact, becoming a grandmother is like being promâ€" nogis o e en T m laxation u n d e r the u | t r a violet rey lamp. ‘‘You mever will know how much you will emjoy exercising and taking .mMfl_mmN~MCl-tcmlynmnm...‘ Finish o ff your exercising with a swim, a relaxing steam bath and a BETTER e FEEL ® BUILD UP AND "BREAKk DOWN" your /.; FIGURE! § Neb e HEALTHY RELAXING ily:. 2:::7 5 ALL OUT EXERCISE!

Grandmothers. No one ever gives grandmothers any advice about sex; this may be because it‘s assumed that lighining never strikes the same woman twice and that grandmothers are gnly interested in African violets and bingo. This shows a profound ignorance of both lightning and grandâ€" mothers. They may have been like that once upon a time, but for years now grandmothers have been getting betterâ€"looking even if less comfy, like modern furniture. Just because a woman has reached the age of discretion doesn‘t mean she has nothing left to be discrect about, especially these days when grandmothers come in all shapes and sizes and grandmotherhood can overiake anyone at any age from a girlish 35 up. People who feel this is an unforâ€" tunate trend can take comfort in the thought that it‘s worse in South America where the climate encourages nature to run amok and produce quintuplets and antâ€"eaiers with equal abandon and where a girl is considered to be dragging her hormones if she‘s not a grandmother by 20. In Canada, of course, we are more conservative and no one wants to be a grandmother before fifty; even then, some of us hope the baby will call us Gladys, not Gran. This is not unreasonable â€" even Cupcakes Cassidy wouldn‘t have the same exotic appeal if you knew she was somebody‘s granny.
