He needs a sounding board, and I'm glad it's me and not the local bartender or some dizzy blonde. He is also a compulsive lover.

By that I mean he is very big with spontaneous hugs and kisses. In my family when I was growing up, we loved each other but no one was very demonstrative. When we were first married I kept telling my husband to stand back and give me room to breathe. But I learned to live with his hugging and kissing and now I couldn't live without it. After 38 years of marriage, I have decided I'm a very lucky woman, especially when I hear so many other wives complain that their husbands are unaffectionatc.

These women are starved for love and I am wallowing in it! Please put this letter in your column. I know my husband reads it every day and I am dying to sec if he recognizes us. Loved in Michigan (P.S. He also snores, but who cares? I snore, "SL 'ids; Dr. Joyce Brothers The effects of music How much do you know about the psychological effects of music? Here's a chance to test yourself with some experts.

1. Music always helps to relax people. True False 2. Music makes people more creative. True False 3.

Men generally react more positively to music than women do. True False 4. Boys who play in school bands are usually more intelligent than those youngsters who show little interest in music. True False 5. Part of the appeal of disco dancing and disco music is the crowds usually associated with it.

True False 6. If you're tired and in alot of traffic, you'll drive better and be less apt to have an accident if you turn off the music on your car radio. True False 7. Loud music in a supermarket makes people buy more. True False Answers: 1.

FALSE. It all depends upon the person and tin; music. While music can change a person's mood in seconds, often from sad to happy and from agitated to calm contentment. If a person has to listen to music that disturbs him, it can prove so Irritating the person may get an ulcer. 2.

TRUE. It can at least help you get more mileage out of your creative powers'. Studies at middle Tennessee State University demonstrated that subjects scored higher on Dear Loved: What a sweet letter! How nice that you were able to change your views and turn the debits in your marriage into credits. There's a lesson in there. I hope those who need it, get it.

Dear Ann: Please print this: Dear Parent: Do you know now where your pre-school child is and what he is doing? Are you guilty of sending him out to play when you know he is being taken care of by your neighbors? I have a family of my own. I worry when I see your child outside, first at one house, then at another or worse yet, in the street. I also become angry wlien your child is constantly ringing my bell at inconvenient times. Every time I turn my head, he is there. I hate to say it, but your chid is a pest.

When I send him home he returns in 10 minutes. Sorry I don't have the nerve to say this to your face, neighbor, but I'm sure your recognize yourself. I'm signing this You Know Who You Are Dear Friend: I'm not so sure she does know. Why don't you tell her who YOU are? It would be a step toward personal growth for you and it might prove helpful to her. creative thinking tests when there was music in the background.

Industrial sound accounted for the lowest performance. 3. FALSE. Studies indicate that music is often far more effective than words in getting messages across to women. While music has a definite effect on the emotions of all listeners, research at Texas Tech University, which compared the responses of men and women, showed that women react more positively to music than men do.

4. TRUE. Those who played in the school band scored signifi- cantly higher on the intelligence, idealism and optimism scales of standard personality tests than did those boys who were not in the band. 5. TRUE" According to Jonathan Friedman, a professor of environmental and social psychology, crowding tends to intensify our reactions to a particular sensation.

If we expect the situation to be exciting, then the crowding makes It more enjoyable. 6. FALSE. You'll be less apt to have an accident if you're listening to some calming music on the radio. Music can do a great deal to offset a driver's tensions and bad temper.

7. FALSE. It may make people walk faster, perhaps because they want to escape. In a controlled test, the loud music simply made customers move more briskly so they shopped more quickly. Learn bridgeAat Congratulations to all the evening students that completed their Ottawa Board of Education bridge courses last week.

Now is the time to use what you have learned. Two of the local Duplicate Bridge Clubs in the Ottawa area run novice games on the average of once a month. The R. A. Bridge Club (Thursdays, 7:45 p.m.

at the R. A. Centre) and the Carlingwood Bridge Club (Tuesdays, 7:45 p.m. at the Westboro Community Centre 411 Dovercourt). These games are restricted to persons with under 20 master points and are ideal for those wishing to continue practicing what they have learned at night school.

For those who are coming out to duplicate bridge for the first time, both the R. A. and the Carlingwood Clubs have members available to show new players Game Today's puzzle is White to play and win. On Dominion Day, Grandmaster Abe Yan-ofsky of Winnipeg 'gave a simultaneous exhibition at Major's Hill Park. This was a birthday treat for local chess players, many of whom had never seen, much less played against, a Grandmaster.

The morning's rain made the prospect of the outdoor exhibition seem unlikely at best, but, miraculously, the rain stopped and the sun came out. After Yanofsky had made a dozen tours against his 40 eager opponents, the clouds began to move in again. The organizers waited hopefully as black clouds appeared on all sides, forming a reverse halo to frame the white clouds overhead. On the 23rd tour, darkness broke through the ring of concentration; at 4: 30 in the afternoon, it was difficult to see the boards in the gloom! Chief Umpire Doug Burgess suspended the games; within five minutes the rains came; within six minutes all remaining positions had been obliterated by the torrents. Resumption was impossible.

Game cancelled because of rain, the first such chess incident that anybody could remember. Only a few games had finished, but 16-year-old Alex Kaple-vatsky had already defeated the Grandmaster, winning the $150 chess set donated by the sponsor, Gandalf Data Communications Ltd. Yanofsky tried to open lines for his pieces Flashback Norman around and to explain how the duplicate bridge system works. Both clubs also have literature available. For those who feel they are not yet ready to play bridge, the Continuing Education Department of the Ottawa Board of Education is running evening mini courses during the month of July at the High School of Commerce, room 415.

The instructor, David Willis, will be running an Intermediate course on Monday evenings p.m.) starting July 9th and an Advanced course on Wednesday cancelled by rain Jonathan Berry on chess with 15. f4, but the idea backfired as his position was inundated with a tide of black pieces.

d3 By Bob Bowman For a number of years Pacific coast explorers did not know that Vancouver Island was an island. They thought It was part of New Caledonia, as the mainland was called. It Is not clear who was the first person to realize that it was an island but it was properly a Spanish explorer. It might have been an English sea captain, William Barkley who saw the southern entrance in July, 1787 and named it Strait of Juan de Fuca. Barkley then sailed on to Nootka where he arrived on July 7 Intending to get into the fur trade.

Even if Barkley did not discover the strait, his voyage to Nootka was notable for another reason. He brought a 17-year-old bride with him, Frances Hornby Travor. She was the first white woman In British Columbia. The Indians almost regarded her as a goddess. Captain Barkley and his bride were shocked when they arrived at Nootka because an unkempt human dressed In skins paddled out to their ship and came on board.

Mackay planted a garden and was quite successful until the Indians stole its products, his implements and even his clothes. He was practically starving when he came on board Barkley's ship Imperial Eagle. Nevertheless he proved to be great help to Barkley because Mackay had picked up some of the Indian dialect during the year and was able to act as an Interpreter. Barkley was able to acquire a fine cargo of furs with his help. It is an Interesting coincidence that the first farmer on the east coast was a doctor, Louis Hebert, who was at Port Royal and Quebec.

Dr. Mackay might be described as the first farmer on the Pacific coast. Other events July 7 1613: Sir Thomas Button named part of Hudson Bay area "New Wales" 1620: Champlaln built fort St. Louis on site of Chateau Frontenac. 177S: Sir John Johnson raised King's Royal Regiment.

I want to know how to clean a white feather boa which has become dusty and greyish looking. Any information? BE HEARD hasn't found anyone locally who is daring enough to undertake this task.

Rather than toss away the boa, or leave it unused in the closet because of its tattletale grey, we can only suggest that you try the cornmeal or cornstarch method in a cotton pillow, tossing the feathers in the meal in an effort to absorb some of the soil which has accumulated. Perhaps a reader can present another and more satisfactory solution to this Is there a local bylaw which controls or prevents the use of barbed wire fencing around private property? 1 Officials of the legal department at OttawaCity Hall refer to Bylaw 166-73 which reads as follows: "No person shall erect along any street a fence, made wholly or partly of barbed wire or any other barbed material."

If I were to lose my pension because of my war wounds, would I qualify for a disability pension under Canada Pension Plan? Without knowing the full facts, it would appear that you could apply for the pension. A spokesman for the Regional Office of Canada Pension Plan, 207 Queen Street, (first floor), indicates that if you are totally disabled because of the war wound, and unable to do any type of work, if you have worked five of the past 10 years, contributing to the CPP during that time, you may apply for a disability pension with Canada Pension Plan. Further information may be obtained if you will contact the regional office on Queen Street.
