THE MODESTO BEE Dec. 1, 1970 AAA B-5 Postman Gets Stamp Of Approval Ask Ann Landers DEAR ANN: I did not care much for that letter from the stuck-up parents who were unhappy about their son who had $30,000 worth of education and decided he wanted to be a mailman. Your answer, "to each his zone," was not the greatest response in the world either. My husband did not have a college education, but, as you have said so often, not everybody belongs in college. He tried factory work, selling and clerking -five years of it, then he made up his mind he did not belong in business and wanted to try something altogether different.

He decided to be a postman. That was 12 years ago and he loves it. So do I. I know exactly when he will be home. Once he is home his time is his own.

No night calls, no manuals to study, no briefcase work. Our kids know their father as human being, not a money machine. This is more than most high-salaried executives can say. The best thing about my husband's job is that it keeps him in wonderful physical condition. The walking and being outof-doors has kept his weight down and his heart strong.

So please, Ann Landers, do not let people look down their noses at the postman. He is a very important man in his community and usually a happy one. WIFE OF ONE. DEAR WIFE: The postman is the second most important man in my life. I could not get along without him.

DEAR ANN: I have been married 26 years to a man who could never make a success of anything. He, went to night school, took correspondence courses, tried vocational training. Nothing clicked. I have always made more money than my husband. There were 1 times when I was working 10 hours a day and he was unemployed.

We are going through one of those periods now and I am fed up. Our two kids are on their own now and I am tired of carrying the load. I am 46 and look younger. I feel that now might be the time 1 to make a new life for myself. I Do you? R.

L. DEAR R. A woman who would dump a husband after 26 years because he did not succeed in business rates zero minus 10 in my book. I do not know what you envision as a new life for yourself, but Kirk Douglas is not waiting for you, Honey. Ann Landers will be glad to help you with your problems, Send them to her in care of this newspaper, enclosing a self-addressed, stamped envelope.

50 small world UN LOST AND FOUND RED 504 LET'S ALMOST FACE IT -I'VE FOUND IT Wet Weather Delays Start Of Beyer High Four days of rain will delay the start of construction of the Fred C. Beyer High School until at least the middle of next week, Kenneth G. Check, Modesto City Schools director of buildings and grounds said today. Acme Construction Co. crews were to begin work on the 50- acre site north of Sylvan Avenue between Coffee and Old Oakdale Roads late this week, but the project start has been delayed "pending suitable drying conditions," Check said.

"There is a lot of standing water and mud at the site," he stated. "With the continuous rain, I'd doubt even if it would stop raining crews could begin work for another six or seven days, at the earliest." Pad Still Firm A foundation pad for the school, completed as part of a site preparation contract in September, still is quite firm, but Acme now will have to construct temporary roads for equipment to reach the pad, Check said.

Because of inflationary costs, however, the school board deleted an auxiliary gymnasium and some minor alternates from the design plan. Beyer High School is scheduled to be ready for occupancy by 1,800 students in the fall of 1972.
