Democrat and Chronicle People ROCHESTER, N. MONDAY, JULY 27, 1970 Party Tags Famous Pairs By BETTY BEALE Liz and Les Carpenter's summer garden party for Erich Segal, author of the poignant best-seller, "Love Story" drew the darndest bunch of "lovers" you have ever seen. There was "Ari Onassis" (Sen. Walter Mondale) and "Jackie" (Mary Margaret Valenti), Stokley Carmichael (Rep. Paul Rogers of Florida) and "Miriam Makeba" (Mrs.

Birch Bayh), and "Henry Kissinger" (Sen Mark Hatfield of Oregon) and "Jill St. John" (whom Kissinger! is rumored to be interested in, but I forgot who was given Jill's label.) In short, guests were tagged upon arriving with names of a famous modern pair and found their dinner partners by finding their fictitious mates. The Carpenters' daughter Christy chose the current pairs of lovers. (AP) If she had done the labeling, Tyrone's Romina Weds Romina Power, 18-year-old daughter of the late Tyrone Power and actress Linda Christian, was married yesterday to Italian pop singer Al Bano in Cellino San Marco, Italy. The marriage took place in the flower bedecked parish church of this southern Italian Romina Power and Al Bano exchange rings.

By The Associated Press town where Bano was born. 'The parish priest, Father Francesco Epifani, officiated. Romina, a dark-haired beauty who bears a striking resemblance to her late father, had been engaged to Bano for two years. A resident of Rome, she is a popular singing star and actress in Italy in her own right. Miss Christian attended the wedding.

All Done by Numbers Woes Of The Fifth Wheel For some strange reason, statistics show the average young married couple wants 3.6 children. (That's modern math for you.) For reasons having to do with overcrowding the earth, population control activists say this is 1.6 too many. The other night at the dinner table, I surveyed all 5.6 of us, and announced in my usual tactful, sensitive way, "One of you has to go!" No one stopped eating as they've been threatened before. "I'm serious this time," I said. "This is a two-children-four member family world.

There isn't an industry that considers the spare 1.6 child. Tables have four chairs, a badminton set 4 rackets, bunk beds come in two's, muffins four to a package, sedans with only four doors." "Pass the butter, please, Mom" said my son. "Heaven knows I've tried to cope with 'an over-populated family," I continued. "In the primary readers where there were Jane, Robby, Mommy and Daddy, I pencilled in an extra face in the tree. "I never told anyone, but when I divided the two marschino cherries in a No.

Democrat The Little Children's Letters to God Dear God, 1 01 people used to be what 1 monK be (A 1-15 S. H. King Features Syndiente, 1970, 10C Landers Grad Gift Has Mom Trapped Dear Ann Landers: I started to write this letter in June but decided to hold off and see if I felt the same way after a few weeks of cogitation. Well, I do, so here's my letter.

Why do kids expect their parents to give them graduation presents? Where did the idea come from? Our eighth grade "graduate" requested her own telephone. Our high school boy served notice (as a sophomore) that he expected a car upon graduation. Our college girl let us know she expected a trip to Europe the day after she received her diploma. I am ashamed to confess we came through on all three counts. It cost over $5,000 and we are not rich.

What do poor people do? How and why did parents become so trapped? It would make more sense if the kids gave their parents gifts for getting them through. Please reply. THE VICTIMS Dear Victims: Poor people don't give 8th graders telephones, high school seniors cars nor do they send their college graduates to Europe. In fact, some rich people don't do these things. Obviously you feel blackmailed.

Your kids have probably been setting you up for the clobber ever since they were old enough to talk. It's nice when parents can give their children extras provided the parents can afford them and the kids appreciate it. In your case, I suspect some important ingredients are missing. Dear Ann Landers: You printed a letter a while back from a reader who was driven out of her mind by computer billing. After countless phone calls and letters, she received a telegram saying that if she didn't pay her bill at once her credit rating would be permanently jeopardized.

I sympathized with the woman because I had a similar experience when I tried to cancel a credit card. It 1 had such a devastating effect on me that my ulcers came back. Please inform the public as to the best course of action should they become caught in the wheels of "progress" and driven nuts as I was. (P.S. Finally my husband hired a Scream Heard Round The World Dear Scream: One who finds himself involved in A battle with a computer should do the following: If, after a phone call and a letter to the company, you get no satisfaction, accept the fact that the electronic monster has no eyes or ears and you might as well talk to Mount Rushmore.

Write to your senators and to your congressman. Send copies of your correspondence to the computer. Write also to President Nixon's Committee on Consumer Interests, Washington, D.C. And keep your cool your cool your cool your cool your cool. Dear Ann Landers: What's happening to people anyway? Have they always been so rude and inconsiderate? Here's a sample of what I'm talking about.

The telephone woke me up at midnight. I said, The party on the other end asked, "Who is this?" I replied, "Who were you calling?" The party yelled, "Get off the line you Bang went the receiver, right down on my ear. Why should the party be made at ME? I was the one who was awakened out of a sound sleep. Why would a person behave that -Baffled in Buffalo Dear Baff: The drunk probably lost his dime. De you have a question for Ann Lenders?

Bex 1582, Rochester, N.Y. 14603. Sydney Harris Why Change A Success? One of my favorite snack places for lunch has been taken over by new management, and I'm afraid that it's never going to be the same again. Which sets me to wondering about business takeovers. The new people bought the place, presumably, because it was flourishing, with a large and satis.

fied clientele. Then they immediately proceeded to change it for the worse in help, in food, and in atmosphere. They are going to run it into the ground. Why would anyone do this? Yet it happens time and again, in many business ventures. It's like marrying a woman because you like the way she looks and then taking her to a plastic surgeon to change the whole bone structure.

There seems to be something inherently self-defeating about such operations. The restaurant wants to attract a wider clientele, but it is actually losing most of its old customers by fiddling around with a menu everyone liked and depended upon. In trying to please more kinds of people, it is simply trading off the loyalty of its "regulars" for a nebulous future popularity it cannot possibly gain. One human tendency explains this in part. We are never as satisfied with something after we have obtained it as we thought we would be while striving to get it.

We tend to over -value what we don't have, and to disvalue what belongs to us. Nostalgia Nostalgia Quiz Quiz said Mrs. Carpenter, "I would have thought more in terms of Adam and Eve, Romeo and Juliet, and Mayor Daly and Mrs. Daly." For toasts, Liz called for comments from "somebody out of office and out of power Jack Valenti, somebody in office but out of power-Sen. Mondale; someone in office, and out of favor Sen.

Hatfield, and lastly someone in office, in power and in favor Herbert Klein." Valenti said you could tell when you are really out of power when "even Nathan Voloshen refuses to use your telephone." Ex-TV Critic Is Appointed Guild Chief By United Press International William Ewald, a former magazine editor and television critic, was appointed editorin-chief of the Literary Guild of America yesterday in New York. Ewald, who joined the book club as special projects editor in February, 1969, replaces Irving Goodman, who is now a vice president of the McCall Publishing Co. terrupted my daughter. "Think about it," I persevered. "Row boats have a capacity of four, dishes come in Erma sets of four, booths in restaurants seat four, pizza comes in Bombeck three packages of Presidents four, have our four- last Erma Bombeck "Are we out of milk?" asked my husband.

"When I bought cupcakes in packages of four, I had to buy two packages and eat the other three so everyone would feel wanted. Remember when we went to the amusement park? And there were only two to a seat on the 125-foothigh roller coaster? I did the only decent thing a Mother could do. I pretended I was frightened." "Whose turn for dishes?" in- People member families. I tell you it's downright spooky. I don't want to spoil your dinner, but someone has to ship out.

What are you all looking at me for?" "I don't want to panic you," said my husband. "But have you ever heard of Bonanza, Family Affair, The Courtship of Eddy's Father, Nanny and the Professor, The Governor and J.J. and To Rome With Love? They're situation comedies where the men raise the family without a mother." "Can't you guys take a joke?" I said. "Here, have a stick of gum. There's five in a pack, you know."
