My parents are the greatest but they have one corny habit that makes me mad. They keep telling me how easy kids have it today and then they get to harping about how tough things were when they were my age. My dad grew up on a farm. He got up at 4:30 in the morning to milk cows and gather eggs and bring in My mother was a city girl and she said there were days when there wasn't enough food in the house to feed all the kids.

We live in an apartment and they wouldn't let us have cows and chickens up here even if we wanted to. The only wood we need is for the fireplace and a man brings it. There is no point in getting up at 4:30 in the morning because I don't have to be in school until 8:45. Is it true that things were so much harder in those days? My folks are quite old like you. How about the Dear Crackers: Your folks probably grew up during the depression and you can believe them when they say things were tough.

Some people had nothing to eat at home so the government and private agencies set up soup kitchens. It's fine to tell children about those days because it's a part of history, but to criticize kids because they have it easy today makes 1 no sense. The products of the depression didn't choose to be poor, it just happened. Dear Ann Landers: I picked at my husband and nagged him until he lost his temper and spoke harshly to me in front of the children. Then I threatened him with a divorce.

The next day I telephoned his mother, his brother and two sisters and gave them all the ugly details. The phone conversations took the better part of the afternoon. After talking to them I became so ill I had to go to bed. When my husband came home he called the doctor. The diagnosis was low blood sugar, thyroid trouble and total exhaustion.

I was given a special diet, medication and ordered to bed for five days. Now, 10 days later, I feel like a new person. But I'm so ashamed I telephoned my in-laws that I can't face them. My husband has been an angel. Not once has he mentioned the phone calls although I'm sure they told him.

This letter is not a request for advice. It's a warning to other wives who may be nervous and run-down to keep their troubles inside the home walls and see a doctor. I wish I had. -SORRY NOW Dear Sorry: You made a mistake but even mistakes can be useful if we learn from them. Now that you are feeling better call your husband's family and say you hope they will forget about your previous call.

Dear Ann Landers: I am going with a boy I will call Douglas. We are both 17. Douglas comes from a prominent, well-to-do family. His parents don't think I am good enough for him. The problem is that Douglas' curfew is earlier than mine and his folks get mad at me when he comes home late.

Naturally I want to stay out as late as I can and so long as I have permission why shouldn't Am I right or wrong? -PICKED ON Dear Picked: If you want to help Douglas maintain peaceful relationship with his parents forget about YOUR curfew and see to it that he gets you home in time to honor HIS. This will not only make life easier for Douglas, but it will demonstrate to his parents that you are a considerate, responsible girl and not a trouble-maker. They might even decide you are good enough for their Douglas.

Journey To Japan Very Interesting Looking for an interesting spot to visit this year? Why not journey to Japan? Hundreds of Napa Valley citizens have already seen the islands of Japan, while in the military services or as visitors there for purposes of business or pleasure. Whatever the situation, most people who have once been to Japan are anxious to return. And those who have yet to see the colorful Far East country have a treat awaiting them. The city of Tokyo lures many, but there are a great many other centers of attention for the visitor as well. Special Features Although Japan has many metropolitan aspects little different from San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles or New York, the country has countless features and characteristics which can be found only in Japan.

A popular spot to visit, for example, is Nagasaki.
