'HILDERGARDE Dear Hildergarde: I hopèï you can heip me figure out a probiem that I have. I am going out reguiarly with a very nice fellow who I would like to marry but, I amn not sure things wouid work ont as they should. At the moment, 1 amn working steadily and take care of an aiiing elderly aunt who is dependent on me. The man 1 marry must be able to support himseif, nme and my aunt as I feel very deeply about her. 1 have told my boyfriend about this and he appears a littie cool to my comments about the responsibilities he must accept. What shouid I do? Yours sincereiy, E.J. Whitby Dear E.J.: You have a probleni airight but it isn't such a hard one. Actually, you must decide what you want, a husband or a crutch to lean on. There are not too nimany men who want to accept the kind of responsibiiity you're expecting your friend to take on. It might be better to place your aunt in a home whçre she will be arnong people in simlar circunistances to ber own. It couid be a question of either your happiness now or, more years of caring for an elderiy person, while life passes you by. Hfildergarde. Dear Hildergarde: I have a friend wbo seenis to be avoiding me. Everytirne I phone ber she makes some excuse for not going out. I don't want to break off our relationship as i care for ber a great deai. Yours truiy, B.J. Whitby Dear B.J. What relationship? You don't have one. Grow up. That girl is trying to let you down easy without htirting your feelings. Go find sorneone else. Hildergarde Ajax has new Fire Chie f Mervin H. Evans bas been appointed as the new Ajax Fire Chief.
