I was quite flattered and said five minutes later we were chatting like old friends. A a Horace told me that he had a very strange feeling the moment he saw me and that he was sure i was the woman he was going to marry. I was bowled Over by his remark and even though i really fell for him on the spot i was sensible enough to say a i think we ought to Date for a while and see How we get he agreed. After three dates in three Days i Felt 1 had met the Man of my dreams. I introduced him to my Mother who went crazy Over him and said i was the Luckiest girl in the world. So we set a Date for the wedding. It s Only 90 Days away. V. A a a / \ v a. A to be honest Ann to a Little nervous.

Dear Ann Lander sour grandson has been in the service overseas for 18 months and has never sent a postcard or written a letter.

Baby buggies May be better bearers dear Abby i am writing about your response to a Mildred from Minnesota a who wondered about using strollers with babies facing Forward. Your response a if the baby is facing its Mother the baby would have to ride backward. I would assume that babes like adults prefer to Sec where they Are going a not where they have before strollers came on the scene we had prams and buggies with babies facing their mothers but More important with mothers facing their babies. In my opinion mothers facing their babies is More important than babies seeing where they Are going. After witnessing a baby in a Forward facing stroller being strangled by the strap holding him in the stroller while his Mother was totally unaware of the situation i began observing stroller situations and talking to mothers. I found a frightening number of mothers who had experienced incidents with Forward facing strollers. One Mother did not know that her baby a foot was rubbing against one of the wheels until she walked around to the front of the stroller to pick up her baby and saw his bloody foot although manufacturers have vastly improved the. Safety of strollers nothing is safer than a mothers constant View of her baby. Dear Abby a Deanne Dingley Portland Ore. Dear Deanne its been a Long time since i pushed a pram a and even longer since 1 Rode in one a but perhaps the mothers who Are currently pushing prams will write with a More current evaluation of prams and by the Way we used to Call them a baby dear Abby in a recent column your advice carried the adage a the squeaky wheel gets the Many years ago prior to my retirement a woman from an adjacent office came to me repeatedly voicing her complaints about How unfairly she was being treated by her supervisors. I asked her if she had discussed the matter with others in the office to which she replied with a resounding a no a i told her that if she did no to speak up to her supervisors they know How she Felt a and added a remember the squeaky wheel gets the # a few Days later she came into my office with an Odd expression on her face and said a Well i took your advice about the squeaking i asked her How it turned out she replied a i got fired a i Learned that he who cackles the loudest is the first to lose his head and that for every adage there is another adage which contradicts it.
