How did they get so quickly where they Are Bud Cowsill head of the family talked about it with  years the kids had Sung for Charity and Church things he said inner York. After i got out of the Navy four years ago we decided to go for broke. We bought a 27-room House i Newport r.i., and i borrowed some thing Over 5100,000 which we spent on living and promotion. Everything was done for a reason. Initially j took three of the Boyson the Road they were our Shock troops. Many months we did t make any Money but we kept moving. The today show was our first big break. We were playing at a hotel in Newport and a Man approached me and flatly said he d like to see us on the today show. I did t put much Faith in it but two Days later it was set  today show devoted a one hour segment to the cow Sills. Only the per forming members of the family were seen the Mother Barbara Bill 20,who is the music director and a song writer Bobby 18, who composes wit Bill Barry 13 Johnny 11, the drum Mer and 7-year-old Susan.

He almost lost the Newport Home before Money began pouring inform their first record with Mem the  the Park and other things which sold a million copies. None of the kids read music they veneer had professional training cow Sill said. We Don t coach the much we just turn them Loose on  dear Ann Landers 1 have worked with the Public for Many years and have seen Good Deal of tragedy which has resulted from alcoholism. It i Clear to me that Many wives of alcoholics have personality needs which Are fulfilled by their husband s excessive drinking. Such women 1 want to be martyrs 2 need to be sure of their special place in heaven 3 must have something to complain about. The woman who signed her self mystified sounds As if she fits into All three of the aforementioned  a wife writes to Ann Landers because her husband has stopped drinking and his self righteousness is driving her crazy and she can t understand Why he has to keep go ing to those meetings it s pretty Good sign she was happier when he was drinking an she was putting up with  now that he is sober she has nothing to talk about no one is telling her How Marvelou she is in fact now he is the marvelous one and losing the spotlight is More than she can stand. J can guarantee you that if this woman divorces the dry drunk she will marry another alcoholic within a year Spades Ake Spades dear Spades i have read so arts of literature on the personality characteristics of poo 14 pie who marry alcoholics an the authorities concur with your analysis. Dear Ann Landers i do baby sitting for four or five families. They All pay the same and Are pretty Nice people. The prob Lem is that one certain woman cancelled me out twice in the last three weeks. Both times she had engaged me several Days in Advance and i turned Down other jobs. Last night she cancelled on the morning of the night i was suppose to sit for her. I Don t think this is fair because i turned Dow two other jobs yet i Don t know what is fair. Do you fee this woman should have paid me anyway please advise High and dry dear ii and d in my opinion a Sitter should receive at least 48 hours notice of cancellation or be paid half the usual night s compensation. This understand ing should be discussed and agreed upon when the girl accepts her first Job with new  or girls such As you girls who Are already working and have no such understanding i suggest thai you have a talk with your employers and get such an agreement. Dear Ann Landers 1 am Amale who used to laugh at my wife because she always turned to your column first thing and quoted from it. I n ashamed to admit i made fun of her and of you too. Now i am eating a big chunk of Humble pie and it serves me right. I need your help. Our daughter is nine Yea sold and Small for her age. Yesterday As she was going from her bedroom to the Bath room i noticed she was Wear ing a Bra. I did a double take could t believe it. That kid does t have anything to put in a Bra and the whole idea i ludicrous. I went downstairs and asked my wife what it was All about. Of she replied Harriet Best girl Friend has started to Wear a Bra and she feels very left out. I bought her one for emotional  told my wife i thought she was cuckoo. She told Meto mind my own business. I said i was going to write to Annanders. She replied go ahead Ann will be on my  about it where do you stand goggle eyed dear Gog not with a nine year old Flat chested kid and her cuckoo Mother. The Wayto give pro adolescent girls emotional support is to Hel them enjoy being nine years old. They should be taught to wait for adult accessories until the time is right. A bras Sim can be a Symbol of other things and in this instance the symbolism l s All too Clear.

West opened the King of Dia monds and continued with the Queen and Ace South ruffing the third round with the Deuce of Spades. A Spade was led to the King and the suit was returned.

He disposed of one club on the Queen of hearts As East ruffed in wit the Queen of Spades. The King of clubs was re turned to dislodge Declarer s Ace and inasmuch As West retained the ten of hearts As a stopper in that suit South was obliged to concede the setting trick at the end to East s Queen of  could have assured his contract against anything Short of a very bad break in hearts by taking the Spade finesse. The advantage of this play becomes obvious when allhands Are exposed to View. There is a sound reason for no trying to drop the Queen How Ever despite the fact that Declarer has nine Trumps and the Odds slightly favor that play suppose for example that the Spade finesse should lose to Adou Bleton Queen in West s Nana.
