Ottawa Journal Saturday, September 15. 1979 The features page rage oo IV' Ann A I II I Landers Forgetful Dear Ann: I am writing about the wife who complained that her husband (they had been married 22 years) could not remember his phone number, his age or address. When they went shopping he had to ask her what size shoe he wore, same for shirts and socks. He couldn't tie a bow and had never written a check even though they had a Joint account for 20 years (He didn't know how). The wife was disgusted and wanted to know what you thought of such stupidity.

Ann, your response was extremely perceptive. You said it might be something other than stupidity perhaps an organic problem. You suggested that he be tested. The symptoms she described are identical with senile dementia. Dr.

Joyce Brothers Quiz on Almost everyone has heard that there's been a change in sexual attitudes. How much do you know about what some of these changes have meant, especially regarding homosexuality, bisexualily and he-(erosexuality? Here's a chance to test your knowledge. 1. Bisexuals. those who are attracted to both sexes, to differ in no way from heterosexuals or homosexuals other than in their all-around tastes.

True False 2. Generally speaking, heterosexual lovers are more satisfying to their partners than homosexual lovers are. True False .1. Homosexuals always have sexual fantasies about members of (he same sex. True False 4.

Homosexuals, bisexuals and heterosexuals all have different tvpes of orgasm. True False 5. Homosexuality has become very common. True False 6. Extramarital sex has increased among men.

True False 7. Mate swapping, sex with more than one person at the same time, and sadomasochistic sex have Increased significantly. True I False Answers 1. FAI.SK. Ambisex-uals, as Drs.

Masters and Johnson refer to those attracted equally to both sexes, seem to have few sexual fantasies and rarely fantasize about real people. This is a marked difference from both homosexuals and heterosexuals. 2. FALSE. According to the recent study made by Masters and Johnson, homosexuals generally communicate better than heterosexuals.

Committed, attached homosexuals are less preoccupied with orgasm than married heterosexuals, and are more aware of the exact level of their husband There are approximately 114-mllllon cases In the United States, 500,000 of them serious. Nearly 100,000 people die from It annually, yet It rarely appears on a death certificate. Only recently have researchers begun to explore the disturbances in brain chemistry correlated with senile dementia. The results are very promising. Please continue to urge readers who see these symptoms in parent or mates to insist on a neurological examination.

It would be lifesaving. B. G. E. Dear B.

G. Thank you for the "alert." The next letter on the same subject may be of interest, although it is apparent that the husband under attack has another kind of problem. sexuality partner's sexual excitement. 3. FALSE.

Both homosexuals and heterosexuals often have fantasies about the opposite sex. They both also have about the same low rate of failure to reach orgasm when they're not fantasizing. The low rate is about three per cent. t. FALSE.

Studies indicate no matter what one's sexual preference, all have the same basic type of orgasm. Masters and Johnson found that heterosexuals and homosexuals in the physical processes basically share the same orgasmic experience. 5. FALSE. It may seem so because homosexuality is now out in the open.

Perhaps 25 per cent of American males have had at least one homosexual experience, but for most it has been an adolescent experiment. According to a Playboy survey, the percentage of older males who are exclusively homosexual may have declined slightly since Kinsey's sampling. 6. FALSE. Extramarital sex hasn't increased among men, nor Is it more frequent among married women (an overall rate of 18 per cent) according to the Kinsey and the Morion Hunt survey.

The exception is for young married women under 25, where the increase is considerable. 7. FALSE. This isn't to say they don't exist, however. This is a difficult question because one can always ask increased since when? There were periods in our history when this sort of thing was much more common than it is now.

Actually, there's some indication that the mate swapping that seemed prevalent a few years ago, has shown a marked If you answered six out of eight questions correctly, you've an above-average knowledge of this subject. Beginners simplified This column Is devoted to the novice, or beginning chess player. The first thing you have to know as a chess player Is how the pieces move. Most people who try to scale the infinite mountain of chess founder at this first step. I wish I had a dollar for every time I've heard: "Oh, so you play chess! I tried once, but it's too difficult (intellectual) for me." You don't need to be bright or even average to learn how the pieces move.

Here is a fail-proof method: buy a beginner's book on chess. I recommend "Chess Made Simple," published by Double-day Turn to where it tells you how pawns move. Set up the pawns on your board and play a game with only the pawns. The first player to get a pawn to the last rank wins. Then, once you've played a few games with Pawns, turn to the section on the Bishop.

Play some games with Bishops and Pawns only. Then Rooks and Pawns only, etc. When Fall Now that the quiet summer season has passed traditionally marked by Labor Day a full range of activities and special events is again available on the local bridge scene. Along with the year-round clubs Carling-wood, the R. Gloucester and the Capital the following seasonal games are again available: The Rideau, at the Rideau Tennis Club, Tuesdays at 7: 45; the West End, Wednesday and Saturday afternoons, 12:45, at the Carlingwood Community Centre; and the special Novice Game at Convent Glen (Orleans) on Wednesday evenings.

The high point of an otherwise quiet summer was the Las Vegas Nationals, which surpassed the attendance record of Toronto last year. The Ottawans who went. spoke of a fine time.

Just put them all together and you can play chess! Now, let's see how you read the games in this column. Examine the diagram: Each square is identified by a name consisting of a letter and a number.

For example, the square at the top right Is "h8." In writing a game, the position is always viewed from White's side." Hence at the start of the game. While's King stands at el. Black's at e8. White's pawns occupy the "2nd rank" (that is, all the squares whose name contains 2: a2, b2, c2, etc). Each chess piece is named by its initial: for Bishop, for Rook, for Queen, for bridge season John Matvnlo.

Although the men who worked on the railroads were not well-paid by today's standards, some of the did very well.

For instance it was railworkers on the CPR who discovered the metal deposit near Sudbury that led to the development of the International Nickel Company. Unfortunately they didn't become rich because it took a great deal of money and a number of years' research to discover how to separate the nickel from the copper with which it was combined. Workers on the Tcmiskaming Northern Ontario Railroad were more fortunate. On September 15, 1903, Fred LaRose, a blacksmith, threw a hammer at what he though were the gleaming eyes of a fox. The gleaming eyes turned out to be a vein of silver Solution to Previous Puule.

Let's say you're White and you want to move your Knight from gl to f3 on the first move of a game. You write: l.Nf3 (The number before the move is a convenience when referring to a specific move. Only White's moves have a number In front of them).

If your opponent were to respond by moving his Knight from b8 to c6, his move would be written: (the dots show that White's move has already been played).

Celine Metals made money that eventually produced $300 million in the Cobalt area. LaRose sold his shares for $30,000 but that wasn't bad pay for a hammer throw! Gilbert Phault and Harry Preston were another pair of lucky blacksmiths on the railway. They slipped while walking over some rough ground and their boots uncovered a vein of gold that eventually became Dome mine. Another famous gold mine was discovered by Sandy Mclntyre who was working on a TNO construction gang. His real name wasOliphant but he changed it to Mclntyre so he could avoid paying alimony to his wife In Glasgow.

Sandy paid for his sin. He sold his shares for $25 so he could buy liquor and spent the rest of his life weeping in saloons In the Porcupine area. Other events September IS 1688: Governor Denonville destroyed Fort Niagara demanded by Iroquois. 1773: Scottish settlers arrived at Plctou N. S.

Pnniro RavHistAst Be Heard What part of Canada is the least humid? You have posed an extremely difficult question to answer without getting Into a great deal of scientific data compiled by officials of the Atmospheric Environment Service, Fisheries and Environment. If you are looking for a place to work and to live where the humidity is lower, BE HEARD could point you towards the Far North to Alert Bay. There the air is cooler, and therefore, it holds less moisture, which In turn, may give you more However, as you must also know, temperatures drop far lower there during the winter and you may be looking for warmer air during a greater part of the year.

In Ottawa and in other parts of Canada when the Gulf of Mexico air moves In during summer months, the air Is warm and particularly heavy with moisture. If it's comfort you want, to find less humid areas, travel to the Western Provinces, to Calgary which Is high and dry, and to the desert zone in the interior range of British Columbia. "Relative humidity is meaningless" BE HEARD was advised by the officials at the Environment Service. What did room and board cost in 1924? BE HEARD checked into an Ottawa Journal newspaper of the end of October, 1924, to find on Classified Pages, an ad offering room and board for $4 a month, preferred." This question will concern many of your readers who have friends and family members in nursing homes who complain about the meals they receive. It is my belief that meals in many such institutions are poorly planned, poorly prepared and served.

I am referring in particular to those who have special diets, i.e. diabetics, who cannot get the foods to fit-their diets. I believe that going to a supervisor of a home would accomplish nothing. What can I do? You may take such complaints to the Nursing Homes (Ont.) inspection branch, Ontario Ministry of Health, 6th Floor, 880 Bay Street, Toronto, Ont. M5S.

1Z8. Nursing homes must answer to that branch in their care of the elderly. If you see a need, it should be brought to the attention of the inspection branch. Where can I get the address of the Ontario Public Service Commlssslon? Authorities within the Commission's offices in Toronto advise that all positions to be filled by the Commission, are sent to your Canada Manpower Centre. You should be able to learn about positions at the Centre and obtain application forms.

Ask about them. How many golfers are there in Canada? Is there a count? The Royal Canadian Golf Association whose aim it is to foster a uniformity in the rules of the game across Canada, counts more than 900,000 golfers across the nation. Do you think you could pass along a timesaver to your readers? My family tells me that I make the best cabbage rolls in town and I have learned a way to keep from burning my fingers while I put them together. Instead of putting cabbage leaves In boiling water, I leave them for a day or a week In the freezer. When I need them I just remove them from the freezer, run cold water over them and they become nice and soft and ready for stuffing.

I don't lose much food value this way either. Information often requested BIRTH CERTIFICATE INQUIRIES: Ontario Registrar General. Mac- donoM Block, Sav ond Welknlev. Toronto. MM 1 VS.
