OPEN SHOWER An open shower in honour of Mrs. Evangeline Larson (nee Pineault) will be held Monday, May I3th at 8 p.m. in St. Martin's Church Hall. Everyone welcome to attend. Amn Landers Dear Ann Landers: After all these weeks there are still arguments going on in this office about "Seventh Heaven," that childless couple who decided to enlist the aid of the husband's father to get her pregnant. He was a widower, mid-50s and in perfect health. They urged other childless couples to do the same since "one never knows about the adopted child's background in terms of intellectual capacity or inheritable diseases." (If the father-in- law had refused, they planned to ask the husband's younger brother.) We would like to know once and for all: Were they referring to artificial insemination or actual intercourse? There's money riding on this, so hurry your answer. -- Holding Heavy. Dear H.H.: It was NOT artificial insemination. Read on. Dear Ann: The woman who signed her letter "Seventh Heaven," should have signed it "Seventh Hell." Her husband couldn't get her pregnant, so they decided to ask her father-in-law to "help." "Seventh" advised other childless couples to do the same since the offspring would carry the family genes and the baby would look like a relative. That woman must be bonkers. Doesn't she real- ize the identity problems involved? To the mother, the child would be a brother-in -law (her husband's brother), a son, and a grandson. To the woman's husband, the child would be a stepson and a brother. To the father-in-law, the child would be a son and a grandson. He would also be his own cousin. If that mother has more children with her father-in-law, they would be stepsisters and brothers, as well as cousins. Worse yet, the child would be his own uncle. -- Who's Crazy? Dear Who: Your analysis is correct, but in my opinion, the emotional and psychological problems resulting from such an arrangement could be horrendous. They didn't ask for my advice, simply my "endorsement." I told them, "No way." ; Dear Ann Landers: Our high school teenage council took a survey among 50 boys and 50 girls. We asked the following questions: Girls: Do you consider yourselves liberated? All 50 said YES. We then asked if they would consider asking a guy out. Only I5 said YES. The remaining 35 said NO, unless the guy had already asked them out first. : We then asked 50 guys if they would ACCEPT a date if a girl asked them. Only © said NO. The other 4I said YES, if they liked the girl. So, Ann, please tell the girls this is 1974. If you like a guy, don't wait for him to ask you out. Ask HIM. -- N.Y. Ann Fans Dear Fans: I am passing YOUR word, but add- ing a few of my own. If I had been included in that survey (yeah, I know I'm a Stone Age hag and my vote doesn't count) it would have been 36 instead of 35. If a girl sees a guy often enough to ask him out, he has alsa seen HER. And for my money, if she's got her head together she'll wait until HE asks. I'm sure my comments will make me as popular as Typhoid Mary, but boys really don't dig chicks who are too aggressive as those I5 girls will soon find out.
