Dear Ann Landers writes about a 17 year old complaining of welfare meals and a general anger at government handouts at county state national and international levels. The writer asserts the country became rich through work and past generations.
A verbose homestretch letter set includes DIY home decor, personal expression, and complaints about workers and welfare. It features reader submissions to Ann Landers with another reply about freeloading versus aid, and dating mistakes, ending with a note on requesting her dating booklet. The piece imitates a newspaper advice column tone.
Dear Heloise shares thrifty fixes from cottage cheese cartons including a makeshift soap holder on the bathtub edge and using an elastic thimble to grip fabric. Mrs. C. Bogush describes sewing tricks that help right or left handed workers and keeps items from slipping.
A lengthy letter column shares safety and parenting advice from Dr. Crane about teaching children practical habits, plus home hacks including cake icing correction with tissue, a crib safety netting method, and paint stirring tips. The piece emphasizes self reliance, scouting, camps, and social confidence for kids.
In the 1967 world championship Italy and the United States reached four spades. A brilliant defense by East West Kay and Kaplan defeated the contract, mirroring the second table where Avarelli and Belladonna shielded four spades, ending in a total washout.
Eva Brunsdon placed a cheeky sale card in her newsstand window in Tunbridge Wells. The card offered a “second hand” husband with inquiries inside. She described Harry, a 48 year old civil servant, as part worn but good looking with no gray hairs, insisting it was all in fun and not for sale.
