Dear Ann Landers: I’ve been
reading you for years and have
often thought I’d like to write,
but I never dreamed my first
letter would be to tell you off.
You said if a husband dreads
going to the hospital with his
wife when she is ready to
deliver, he shouldn’t be forced
to go. You went on to say that
some men are more trouble
than they are worth. They fall
apart, sometimes faint and
their wives have to take care of
THEM.
I heartily disagree. Any clod
who can’t get his butt out of bed
and take his wife to the hospital
when she is in labor, either in
his own car or in a taxi, is the
slime of the earth.
How a husband could send his
wife to the hospital in a taxi to
give birth is beyond me.
You are the one who is always
suggesting counseling. If ever
counseling was indicated, a
kook like that is a prime can-
didate. How come you fell
asleep at the typewriter? —
Peoria Gripe
Dear Gripe: I believe that
every husband should not only
take his wife to the hospital, but
stay with her and witness the
delivery. It is a wondrous and
thrilling experience that no
father should miss.
I realize not all men are equal
to it, and those who aren’t
should not be dragged. They get
in the way and can be a
nuisance. Moreover, their
wives derive no emotional
support from their presence. I
do agree, however, that the
least a husband can do is TAKE
his wife to the hospital, either in
his own car or in a taxi. To send
her alone is pretty darned
tacky.
Dear Ann Landers: I loved
your recent definition of
maturity, but will you please
Dear Ann Landers: I've been
divorced four years. My sons
are seven and nine. Two years
ago I began to date a wonderful
man. He gets along well with
my boys and treats me like a
princess. He wants me to marry
him in December.
When I told the boys, the

add this line: “Maturity is
being able to keep from clob-
bering your kids when you can’t
find the Scotch tape (AGAIN)
so you can paste up your
definition of maturity in a spot
where they will see it.” —
Newsday, LI. Reader
Dear L.I.: Beautiful! I’ll add
it when I rewrite the definition
for the umpteenth time.
I’m glad you wrote because it
gives me an opportunity to
inform my readers that the
person who asked to repeat my
first definition of maturity (it
appeared in 1962) tacked on
four lines which he found in
Dear Abby’s column. They are:
“Maturity is the ability to do a
job whether or not you are
supervised, finish a job once it
is started, carry money without
spending it and be able to bear
an injustice without wanting to
get even.”

POLLY’S PROBLEM
DEAR POLLY — My laminated plastic table top is
very dull and scratchy looking. The different waxes I
have used do not restore the shine and I would like to
know what I could use so it will shine again. - SALLY
DEAR SALLY — Your table should be improved in
looks after it is cleaned with an autobmobile cleaner
followed by a coat or so or paste wax. Repeat the wax-
ing every month or so. — POLLY
DEAR POLLY — Use dental floss to split a layer cake in
half without a lot of crumbs. Use a sharp knife to start, put the
dental floss in the slit and pull through. It splits evenly and
without a lot of mess. - ROLLITTE
DEAR POLLY - Do tell the lady who has rust stains on her
cement steps to take dry powdered cement and sprinkle it
over the steps and then rub with a sand rock until the stains
are gone. I find this works great. VIRGINIA
DEAR POLLY — We like to start Out redecorating for
spring in the winter, but there is the problem of not being able
to open the doors and windows for ventilation. We have found
that adding a tablespoon of vanilla to each quart of paint
eliminates any fresh paint odor. — CAROLYN
DEAR POLLY — Many short cuts come to us quite by acci-
dent just as my latest did a couple of days ago. I had gathered
up three sheets of fabric softener that had been used in the
dryer and as I walked through the living room it struck me
that these things should make good dusters as there is some
static in them. How right I was as those three sheets, crum-
bled, dusted the furniture in three rooms. The dust really
stuck to them and no polish was needed. — VIRGINIA
DEAR POLLY — When you buy fresh eggs but still have
some on hand, mark the older ones with a pencil so as to be
sure they are used first. — JUANITA
Polly will send you one of her signed thank-you newspaper
coupon clippers if she uses your favorite Pointer, Peeve or
Problem in her column. Write POLLY’S POINTERS in care of

By Oswald Jacoby
and Alan Sontag
When you use Jacoby trans-
fer you don’t have to transfer
merely because you have a
five-card suit. Thus, North
elected to respond two clubs
to find out if his partner held
four spades with him.
South did and North merely
bid three. He might well have
jumped to game, but he knew
his partner hated to stop at
three and would go on to
game with any excuse, or
even with no excuse at all.
A transfer bid would also
have led to the same spade
contract.
South won the diamond in
dummy and led the king of
spades. West took his ace and
led the jack of diamonds.
South won with the ace and
led a trump to dummy and
played the jack of clubs. East
covered. South played his king
and noted that West folowed
with the three.
Now South played his ace.
West played the five Now
South ruffed a club and noted
the fall of West’s seven.
South knew that West was
careful to show an even num-
ber of cards in a side suit by
playing high-low and thus
decided that West did not hold
another club. So South simply
led dummy’s remaining
diamond. West was in with the
10 and had to lead a heart to
establish South’s king as the
10th winner.
If South had stripped the
clubs completely, West would
have been able to avoid the
end play by chucking his 10 of
diamonds.

younger one said, "Terrific!”
The older one started to cry,
and sobbed, “No, no — I want
you to marry Daddy.” This is
out of the question. My ex-
husband has a bad temper, and
we fought constantly. I feel a
strong obligation to my children
and need some counsel. If my
child is going to be miserable, I
would rather not remarry.
Please help me. — Las Vegas
Conflict
Dear Con: If yoil allow your
nine-year-old son to run your
life, you should have your head
examined. Any woman who
would pass up marriage with a
man she loves because her
children don’t like the idea is
out to lunch. Look ahead a few
years. When your boys want to
go off and have a life of their
own, they will go. And they
should. And you should too.
Happy orange blossoms.

Pageant organizer
indicted for theft
HOUSTON (AP) - A man
who organized a “Miss Black
Texas” beauty pageant that
folded for lack of money was
indicted Tuesday for theft after
allegedly writing checks for the
contest on a closed bank ac-
count.
Ricky Karl Thurmond, 24,
who said he was a law student
at Texas Southern University,
was charged by a state grand
jury after $10,000 in credit
cashier’s checks from a
Houston bank failed to clear a
bank in Nacogdoches, Texas.
Thurmond said he organized
the pageant because he
“thought it would be real
uplifting for the black culture."
Several contestants said they
spent $350 to enter the contest,
but were told after they arrived
in Houston that there was not
enough money to continue the
pageant.

The gospel according to Nielsen
Ratings race photo-finish
NEW YORK (AP)-CBS had
seven of the week's 10 most-
watched shows, including No. 1
“Circus of the Stars” and back-
to-back episodes of “Dukes of
Hazzard,” but ABC won the
prime-time competition for the
third week in a month, ac-
cording to figures from the A.C.
Nielsen Co.
ABC’s triumph was by the
narrowest of margins — one-
tenth of one point. Limited to
three of the week’s Top 10
shows, including the premiere
episode of “Those Amazing
Animals” in second place, ABC
bounced back with seven of the
next 10.
ABC’s rating for the week
ending Aug. 24 was 15, to 14.9 for
CBS and 11.3 for NBC. The
networks say that means in an
average prime-time minute
during the week, 15 percent of
the country’s TV-equipped
homes were tuned to CBS.
“Those Amazing Animals”
was one of two new prime-time
series unveiled during the
week. The ABC show finished
second to CBS’ repeat of
“Circus of the Stars,” which
registered a rating of 22.2.
Nielsen says that means of all
the homes in the country with
television, 22.2 percent saw at
least part of the show.
The other new show, NBC’s
“Games People Play," finished
the week in 30th place.
As is common this time of the
year, the week was dominated
by reruns, and only a handful of
original shows were even
moderately successful in the
ratings. "That’s My Line" on
CBS was No. 35, “Nobody's
Perfect” on ABC finished 42nd,
NBC’s “Speak Up America”
was No. 45 and “Friday Night
Fights,” also on NBC, finished
47th.
Two movies, “Final Chapter-
Walking Tall,” No. 11 for the
week, and “Heroes of
Rock’n’roll" in 13th place,
scored for ABC. Two CBS
movies did not do as well
"Perfect Gentlemen” in 36th
place, and a first-run screening
of “Islands in the Stream” No.
39.
NBC listed three of the week’s
five lowest-rated shows, ip-
cluding “Here’s Boomer” ih
58th place," “Man’s Greate*t
Sports” 61st and “Buck Roger's
in the 25th Century," No. 62. A
“CBS Reports” presentation,
“The Baby Makers,” was N6.
59, and an “ABC News Closeup”
called “The Killing Ground: An
Update," was No. 60.
Here are the week's top
shows:
“Circus of the Stars,” with a
rating of 22.2 representing 16.9
million homes, CBS; “Those
Amazing Animals," 20.9 or 15.9
million, ABC.
