Saturday, April 3, 1965 Dear Ann Landers: lam 11 years old and I didn't think I'd need you for a few years yet but here lam. My parents are the greatest but they ha ve corny habit ttiat makes me mad. They keep telling me how easy kids have it today and then they get to harping aliout how tough things were when they were my age. My dad grew up on a farm. He got up ai 4:30 in the morning to milk cows and gather eggs and bi ing In wood.

My mother was a city girl am) 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 lfwe 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 liaveto be in school until 8:45. Is it true that tilings were so much harder in those days? My folks are quite old you.

How about the truth? CRACKERS Dear Crackers: Your folks protiably 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 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 ant' sjioke 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 diag. nosis 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 Pm so ashamed I telephoned my laws that I can't face them.

My husband has been an angel. Not once has he mentioned the phone calls although sure they told him. Tins 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.

NOW Dear Sorry: You madea mistake hut 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: lam going with a boy I will call Douglas. We are both 17.
