Now Im in a lulu myself. I have been dating a great young guy (age 24). He wants to marry me and I have said yes. Three weeks ago I met his father. The moment our eyes met I felt a strong attraction.

Senior has everything my boy friend has only more. Hes better looking, more polished, more mature, and more exciting. I knew from the moment he looked at me that something clicked. This man is 48 years twice divorced and now at liberty. I am 22 but Ive lived a lot.

And now I must tell you the whole truth. Senior and I have been seeing each other, strictly on the Q.T., of course. I think we are in love. The only thing that bothers me is that his last wife was a 21-year-old girl his son had been dating. Junior knows Im seeing somebody but he doesnt know who.

He now seems very juvenile and Im going to break up with him regardless. What are my chances for happiness with Senior? FIREFLY Dear Fly: About the same as a snowflake in Tahiti. Remember theres no fool like an old fool unless its a young fool, like you. This situation has all the elements ofaPeruvian earthquake. My advice is to unwind as fast as possible.

And dont schedule any more father-ion banquets. keep my child from eating the cake but it was useless. Please say something about this health hazard. IE. of SF.

Dear I.E. of S.F.: Unless the woman had an infectious disease it is unlikely that her breath would be a health hazard. These days with industrial pollution threatening our very existence it seems almost ludicrous that a person would write in about a kindly grandmother breathing on a birthday cake. Dear Ann Landers: I am engaged to a boy Ill call Milton. I have gone with him to visit his parents three times.

(They live in another city.) Each time he has gotten into a terrific fight with his mother. I wouldnt repeat the language he uses when he gets mad at her. What baffles me, Ann, is that his father just stands there and never says a word. But the most amazing thing is that three minutes after all the screaming and filthy language, they laugh and joke as if it never happened. My question is this: Will Mil-ton use this language on me after we are married? DESPERATE Dear Des: What kind of language does Milton use on you now? He will probably use the same language after you are married.

It is shocking that the boys father just stands there. But equally shocking is that YOU dont say something. In my opinion you should let your boy friend know you will not tolerate filthy language from him to anybody. 1971, Pubilshers-Hall Syndicate) C. BUY 2 SAVE MORE ON EVERY MATURNITY AND TOP.

When it Came time to cut the cake and blow out the candles I witnessed something I had seen dozens of times before, but never thought much about it until now. the birthday boy tried to blow out the candles he couldnt quite do it, so his grandmother helped him. It suddenly occurred to me, as she stood there blowing out the candles with her ugly moist breath, that she was spreading germs all over the cake.

I tried to think of a way to Scoop up these delightful mother to be partners. Shown, just one of a great fashion-new maternity collection in sizes 8-18.

By RICHARD PRATT (NEA Service) With all the fuss and fanfare, charge and countercharge, generated by the consumer movement, its easy to become fascinated by the actors and forget the play.

Yet little by little, consumerism is making a dent in some areas of business tradition and practice. And some of these dents can save you money, if youre aware of them. ply list the price-per-ounce for each package. Thus the shopper can tell whether it actually costs less to buy the superjum-bo box. Before unit pricing at times, the economy size sometimes cost more than the smaller packages.

Unit pricing is not a substitute for package pricing. They exist side by side. Corn flakes will still be priced on a package basis, as well as per ounce. Open code dating is a way of bringing to public notice an agerating system stores have used all along. For years, food processors and stores have marked products with a code to denote age.

Using the Code, clerks could tell when package fresness had deteriorated to the point where it should be removed. If you werent a grocery clerk, however, you needed to be a cryptologist to decipher the markings. In one code, for example, the number 4033 meant the package should be sold before July 3. You found this out by adding the first and fourth digits to get the month, and the second and third digits to get the day. The two most recent ones are unit pricing and open code dating.

Unit pricing is the practice of listing the price of products in terms of a common measurement such as an ounce or a yard. Open code dating is a way of designating how long an item has been on the shelf. Neither of these practices has been greeted with much enthusiasm by retailers. They tend to increase costs, and they are a bother. But several national chains of supermarkets have accepted one, or both, and theres a good chance that competitive pressure may force others to follow.

Lets take a look at each separately and see how it can affect shopping practices. Unit pricing is one way of making price-comparison shopping easy. Anyone who has spent time in a supermarket trying to find the best buy in corn flakes, for example, knows you need a computer to find the price-per-ounce of all the available packages. Unit pricing dissolves all need for customer arithmetic by reducing prices to a common de- nominator, Using corn. Daises as an ex- ample again, the store will sim BOYS REG.
