Engagement forms are now available Engagement forms are now available at The Gettysburg Times offices on Carlisle Street in Gettysburg. The forms, similar to the ones used to provide information on weddings, are in a double-sided format to provide the choice of either the traditional form of announcement or one more suited to the attitudes of some modern couples.

In the traditional form, the bride-to-be's parents are making the announcement. In the option offered on the back, the woman and man "announce their intention to marry." Photographs of the bride-elect or the couple will be accepted. A black and white glossy print is preferred, but if one is not available, a color photograph may be submitted. However, the editor and the photography department may reject any photographs which, in their opinion, would not provide a good quality reproduction. Kids will work at home if they're paid scale By ERMA BOMBECK I haven't read it yet, but I just heard there's a new book coming out.

"401 Ways to Get Your Kids to Work at Home." by Bonnie McCullough and Susan Monson. Offhand. I can only think of two. Perpetual cruelty and their own Swiss bank account. Most mothers entering the labor market outside the home are naive.

They stagger home each evening, holding the mail in their teeth, the cleaning over their arm. a lamb chop defrosting under each armpit, balancing two gallons of frozen milk between their knees, and expect one of the kids to get the door. At Wit's End Grow up. mothers! Kids don't breathe in and out unless they're paid scale. Their contention is.

"Who asked you to work? It's not our fault you're not fulfilled shrinking jeans and fighting stubborn stains." You're not going to believe this, but I originally went to work in 1965, to buy a Barbie doll a wardrobe to go to the Ohio State football game with Ken in a cardboard car. I year later I couldn't have a doll languishing in dust balls under the bed dressed better a I. so I worked a few more years to buy a few things for myself. The rest is history. As you can imagine.

I tried every trick in the to get Alex the parrot might talk, but he isn't communicating Dear Ann Landers: "Last Laugh in Lafayette" de- A i IkrCO Vfc rt at Purdue University who it being taught a variety of responses to assorted stimuli, including shapes and colors. While the tutor seems to believe this feat constitutes real communication, it is my opinion that Alex's absorb- and-regurgitafe approach strongly resembles a technique that is very popular on our campuses today. If aparrot at Purdue can do as well as tuition-paying students, it certainly validates our complaint that too many "scholars" can get by if they simply mimic what they hear. They don't need to understand anything. I am prepared to say students and parrots are really communicating when they can express their own ideas in their own words.

So. dear Ann. you need not eat yours. Human Parrot In Athens I Ga.) Dear Athens: Dr. Hannah Gray, president of the University of Chicago, said it best.

Actually, she doesn't remember saying it at all. but I was so impressed I wrote it down and promptly lost the slip of paper. Here's the reconstructed version: "How remarkable that so much information can go into one ear of a college student and out the other, without engaging any part of the brain. That is about as accurate a description of the "absorb- and-regurgitate" approach as you will ever hear. Thanks, Hannah.

Dear Ann Landers: My husband has been having an affair with his secretary for two years. He repeatedly denied it until I caught them together. He insists it's all over -claims they still find each other attractive but are "controlling themselves." Both my husband and his secretary believe I should: 1. Trust him. 2.

Accept the relationship as 3 platonic boss-secretary set-up. 3. Never again suggest that she get a job in another office. COATS JACKETS The Country Store 4. Be grateful to be married to this "wonderful" guy and keep my Iritp biiui.

I do not agree with any of the above. Should Just Asking In Wisconsin Dear Just: Obviously you do not trust your husband, nor do you believe the relationship is platonic. (Nothing in your letter suggests that he should be trusted.) Demanding that the secretary be ousted from the office net you now you are faced with that same boring question: Would you be better off with him or without him? Only you know the answer. Dear Ann Landers: I get madder and madder as I read all these articles on Herpes. No distinction is made between the kind I have and the type acquired through sexual relations.

I have had Herpes since I was 17. One day a cluster of blisters appeared around my mouth and chin, I-had no idea what it was. Diagnosis: Herpes. At that time, I not only was a virgin, but also I had never even kissed a boy. You performed a great service when you alerted your readers to Herpes Simplex II (it was the first advice Ann Landers says time I had heard of i but please explain that there is a difference, between the venereal Herpes and the innocent cold-sore type.

Also From Iowa Dear Iowa: I have repeatedly made the distinction between genital Herpes and the other kind. Either you are not a steady reader, or your paper is cutting my column. I hope you see THIS one. Can drugs be a friend in time of stress? If you keep your head together can they be of help? Ann Landers' all-new booklet.

From shouting, I got varicose veins of the neck.

Nothing more. I progressed to "Dirty Looks" and "Martyrdom." which also got me nothing. I thought I was onto something one day when I discovered the TV dial was loose and I could carry it around in my pocket like the distributor of a car. When they performed, they got TV; when they didn't they got withdrawal chills. Then they got smart and went to a neighbor's home.

I tried the reward system. Its failure only served to remind me that I couldn't make enough money in one week to pay someone to do what I'd been doing free for 20 years. The family was telling me something, but I wasn't listening. I eventually learned to live with their priorities and discovered that beds made by running a clothes hanger over them slept just as well as those made so taut you could bounce a dime off them. Children used less toilet tissue when it wasn't on a spindle.

Slice-and-bake cookie mothers also got cards on Mother's Day. The crummy little rug in front of the bathroom sink that rolled up in a ball every time you opened the door was shortening my life.
