APRIL 18, 1954 MONROE (LA.) NEWS-STAR JPTEN SOCIETY Your Problems By ANN LANDERS Dear Mrs. Landers: I am 55, a widower and travel a great deal. Most of the hours on buses and trains are very lonely ones. Why travel people sell tickets and- or seat people on the train next to others who are about the same age and status? For instance, on my last trip I sat next to a lovely i young girl while two seats ahead a soldier sat alone; it would have been nice if they could have rtd- den together as there is much they have had in common. on the other hand, woull like to have been seated next to a widow of my own dane affairs as hauling freight and people, collecting fares and getting places on rather than running mobile lonely hearts clubs.

And think of the complications your idea would present everyone i would have to wear a badge stating his age and status (bro-ther! iwhat lies would be told!) or tickets would have to be sold in colors to indicate married, single, divorced, i widow, widower, interested in a partner or not interested in a ner. Then, you'd always have dissatisfied customers who would demand their money back. sor- i ry, Mr. Wally, it just woFk out! You will have to fall back on the old stall of a magazine or newspaper from a likely looking widow on your travels and hope she will welcome your vances. Better still, join clubs and organizations in your home town, meet and marry a and take her along on your travels.

This is the answer to your loneliness. (Ann Landers will be glad to help you with your problems. Send them to her in care of the News- Star.

Unpardonable Sin Discussed By Evangelist you have committed the unpardonable sin you could hear five thousand sermons and they would have no more effect upon you than a feather beating upon Iron; you could even hear Jesus Himself preach and it would have no effect upon you." warned Evangelist Carl Bassett at the Central Baptist Church on Monday night before a large congregation as he appealed to the people to accept Christ before they rejected last call which according to the evangelist is Unpardonable A number responded to his impassioned appeal. have brooded over the unpardonable sin until (hey have nearly gone insane.
