74 Saturday. April 8, 5f Ann' 1978 Ottawa Journal Landers Wolves How to discourage them Dear Ann: I'm a 52-year-old divorcee much too old for this sort of thing. I accepted a job as bookkeeper for the husband of a dear friend who has had some bad financial reverses. I'm working at a fraction of my former salary because I want to help him get on his feet. Our most Important customer is an cight-handed idiot.

lie comes in at least five times a week, follows me around like a puppy dog and makes obscene remarks and passes left and right. The louse is getting bolder and bolder and I have been trying to make a joke of it but it's not funny any more. (Never was, actually.) If. he wasn't such an important customer, I'd break his face. How can I get him to leave me alone anctstill be pleasant so we don't lose his business? Tired Of Running Dear Tired: If the future of your friend's business depends on the eight-handed idiot, you'd better lock the doors now.

The man didn't give the firm his account because of you and he probably will not take it away if you chill him which you ought to do immediately. The longer it goes on the worse it will get. Dear Ann Landers: The man who claimed to be suicidal and signed, "I've got counterparts all over," was right. He does, and I was; one. I am a 25-year-old female who also felt ugly, clumsy and uncomfortable 'witb myself.

THE FLASH CAN STOP rn. flash UNINHABITEP CAPB fO TWE said sounded stupid. I even made a half-hearted attempt at suicide. Luckily I awoke one day with horrible chest pains.

I say "luckily" because they led me to a young resident in a hospital emergency room whose understanding -and compassion saved my life. The pains were due to stress and anxiety. After spending several sessions talking to me, he asked me to see a psychiatrist. That psychiatrist turned out to be the gentlest, kindest, most caring man I had ever know. After a year of therapy, I now smile a great deal, have confidence in myself, and even enjoy looking at the woman I see in the mirror.

I seldom trip or walk into things which I ALWAYS did before) and now I even start conversations with strangers, something I NEVER could have managed two years ago. As you said, it is all in a person's self-image. As soon as I was taught to look objectively at myself, the people around me seemed to change. I've acquired friends for the first time in my life, and I am Infinitely happier. Please keep telling people to get psychiatric help.

MOM. Stimulation DIAGRAM: White to play and win. The simultaneous display given by former Ottawa champion Miro Hor-vat at the R.A. Chess Club last weekend was an unexpected success. Thirty-five played Hor-vat.

Even more showed up, but-had to be turned away because of the unscheduled Ottawa High School Closed Championship in another part of the room. Others showed up just to watch. When it was all over, after more than five hours of play, Horvat had racked up 22 wins, three draws and 10 losses. Seventy dollars was raised for the fund to help send the Canadian team to the Chess Olympics in Argentina this falj. Fundraising, incidentally, for the Olympic Fund is progressing slowly.

Less than $1,000 of the necessary $12,000 has Wn raised thus far. The Chess Federation of Canada has been denied the support that the federal government accords to other sports. The main force of their fund-raising therefore is directed at the public. If you wish to donate to the Olympic Fund, send your cheque, large or small, to: Chess Federation of Canada, Box 7339, Ottawa, Onl. KIL 8E4.

Station Hamilton, Ont. L8L7V7. SOLUTION: Positions Talking is sharing, but listening is caring. Arkady Leokum tell me why Today there are many books published that are very frank about life. They "tell it like it is." Amazingly enough, a man lived more than 300 years ago who was doing the.

same thing then. I He was Francois Rabelais, a French writer who lived from 1495 to 1553. His two great books, f'Gar-gantua" and "Panta-gruel," tell the story of a family of giants. They were written in the 16th century, but they already dared to make fun of the education, war, and marriage' of the time. Rabelais entered a Franciscan monastery when he was about 24 years old.

He found that his superiors disapproved of the new learning that was developing, so he left the monastery. Rabelais then studied medicine. A Cardinal took him to Rome to be his physician, and Rabelais spent most of the next 14 years there. The outstanding quality of Rabelais' writing can be described by a comic word that he himself made up: Pantagrue-lism. It means humor, and appreciation of the Joys of learning, eating, and drinking.

It also means love of human beings when they are enjoying themselves and a kind of contempt for people who keep themselves ignorant or miserable.

2. TRUE. But studies indicate both the ultra-male and the super-female are missing out in life because each feels forced to cling to a stereotyped role. 3. FALSE.

Unfortunately, super-beautiful people frequently fail to develop anything but their bodies and their chances for fulfillment and happiness slim no matter whom they marry. Because their expectations are enormous, disappointment is. almost inevitable, but their chances are much better if they choose a mate who doesn't have the same set of problems. 4. TRUE.

According to psychologist David Keir-sey, chairman of the psychology department at California State University, opposites sometimes make disastrous combinations. 5. FALSE. This isn't necessarily true. It's amazing but some couples who report great fulfillment in marriage admit that they don't really understand each other.

In-. vestigators have found that most people have great difficulty in accurately judging the character and temperament of the one they love. 6. FALSE. No good, says psychologist David Keirsey.

If you're a dare-devel your ideal mate is someone who's willing to play the role of understanding parent. 7. TRUE. Dr. Keirsey feels these-pair well.

Although they'll never understand each, other, they'll complement each other in important ways. 8. FALSE. Whatever your type, give up the idea of changing your partner. This will only lead to trouble.

The only person you can really change is yourself and there are limitations there too. For instance, it's almost impossible to change your basic personality type. If you did manage, you might be miserable. Q.6 Both vulnerable, aa South you hold: A98 VQ105 OQ97" 48762 The bidding has proceeded: North East South INT 27 What action do you take?
