Let's get "on with it." I'd like to pass along my counter-philosophy. It goes like this: "Look, Buster, this is MY body and I'm going to decide who gets his hands on it Dear and (Green Stamps?) Your counter-philos ophy sounds very much like something you read in my column. I can't see that you and I have any differences whatever. DEAR ANN LANDERS: I must take exception to the answer you gave to the girl who wanted to know why she spent the better part of every evening fighting for her honor. She said her last date argued with her about the importance of virginity until 2:30 a.m.

and she had a terrible time getting out of his apartment. You asked her what she was doing in a guy's apartment until 2 30 a.m anyway? Ann, it's apparent that it's been a long time since you played the Dating Game. Gone 'ft Now, Ann Landers, how would you have answered that; letter if the writer had been a woman instead of a man?

casionally you print something of value sent in by a reader. The, enclosed is called' "SO YOU. GOT A TICKET MISTER, YOU BREAK MY HEART." It was written by W. O. Commissioner, Kentucky Department of Public Safety.

"Are you one of those people who call me on the telephone or write and complain that my trooper stopped you and. handed you a ticket for no reason at all? You break my heart. You tell me you're a good citizen and a safe driver and a dumb cop gave you a ticket for going a little faster than the law allows. Well, I hope the next time you get caught breaking the speed limit he gives you another ticket and the traffic judge takes your license away. I pray that he nails you before you crash into a concrete abutment and he has to pull your lifeless body out of a demolished speed machine.

"1 wish you could spend a few days with me and watch a teenager writhe in agony on the gravel near a highway while he waits for an ambulance that will come too late to take him to a hospital, so instead, he goes straight to the morgue. I wish I could make you help scrape the bits of bone and flesh of a whole family off the asphalt into baskets. You'd vomit just as we have done. But you'd think a little differently the next time you climbed into that car of yours and opened it up on a stretch of highway to see what it could do. So you got a ticket? Mister, you break my heart." DEAR ANN LANDERS: Recently you printed a letter from a man who wanted to know-how to make the transition from friendship to romance.

He said he had known the girl for four years it had started out as a brother-sister relationship and suddenly he found himself looking at her with different eyes. You said, heart never won fair mind or anything else," and advised him to take a deep breath and tell her that the friendship had become deeper and more meaningful and before he fell head over heels he should ask if she could possibly teel the same way about him. Then you added, "Don't be surprised if she says she already does." i Friendly summons for local family When the police car pulied up beside them in Ridgetown, red lights flashing, Mr. and Mrs. R.

Douglas Trites of 84 Orchard Place were certain they'd committed some traffic violation. Instead, they received an official summons charged with entering "the friendliest town in Ontario." Each week during the summer tourist season, a family is selected by the Ridgetown Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police and, through a program sponsored by the town's recreation department and Chamber of Commerce, the family is named Tourist of the Week and receives a number of gifts and gift certificates. Mr. and Mrs. Trites and son Douglas were en route home from a trip through Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts, planning a stopover with Trites' father in nearby Kingsville.

They were the third Michigan family to be awarded the friendly summons this season. The incident just could be a deciding factor for their eldest son, Don, who has been thinking of moving to that area to organize a direct selling agency for a consumer product he now sells in Michigan. Just in case, Mrs. Trites kept one of her gift certificates for him. DA Auxiliary honored Mr.

and Mrs. Chester Clute were delegates to the national convention of the Disabled American Veterans and its auxiliary at St. Louis, Mo. Mrs. Clute accepted a second place award for her group's unit history book compiled by Mrs.

David Fredericks, wavs and means. Jelly Side Down Nancv Stahl ward when our son stepped on a rusty fish hook. Or "Heigh-ho, let's go to the supermarket. No, you can't stay home alone. What do you mean, 'Don't I trust Of course I don't trust you." Personally, I'm glad that the children are back in school.

I can put down a brassiere without having it whisked into, the back yard to be used as a slingshot in a David and Goliath pageant. I can wash dishes without having a pet rainbow trout named Sam glaring at me from the other sink. I can watch "As the World Turns" instead of "Sesame Street" reruns. And I can play bridge without someone leaning over my shoulder and saying "Wow! Look at all those little Valentines Admitting that you are glad that the children are back in school is as disloyal as admitting that you don't know the words to the "Star Spangled Banner" and must simply hum and move your mouth. It is necessary to imply that you would never dream of sending them away after only 87 days, 14 hours, and 6.5 minutes of summer vacation, except that: 1) The children are so bored by September.

Nonsense. There are still three of the five clocks in the house that they hadn't gotten around to dismantling, and our son was only half finished making a bicycle out of an old lawnmower. (Or was it a lawnmower out of an old bicycle?) 2) They are terribly lonely with all of their friends away. By late July they begin greeting even their best bosom friend at the door with "Oh, it's you again." By August, unless someone goes away, they refuse to answer the door at all. Whereupon their best bosom friend yells "I know you're in there you creep" and kicks the screen in.

3) They are dying to tell everyone about all the swell trips we took. Yeah. Like the fun-filled jaunt to the emergency They're engaged TEKONSHA Mrs. Ray E. Lewis of Route 1 announces the engagement of her daughter, Miss Judy Marie Drake, to Donald R.
