AKN LANDERS

Could You Forget Him?Dean Ann Landers: I laughed over the letter

about B (only) N (only) Jones who wound up in the 'Army with the name Bonly Nonly. It's bad enough when nch things happen by accident, but what do you think about parents who would in­ tentionally give a child a crazy name,

I read recently where someone who researched odd name* through Social Security listings came across Tin Cans, Safety First, Never Gamble, July Bonus, Pork Chop, True Story, and Born Young The one that took the cake was the name Mr. and

'Mrs. Around hung on their newborn son. They christened toe boy Stick.

Why would parents do this to a child? Doesn't it mean they have a perverted sense of humor? JUST ASKING. . ~ '

Q«ar Just: Not necestartly. Some parents twtnt to give their child a name no one will forget. If I ever meet Stick Around I'll never forget Mm. How about you?

*Dear Ann Landers: What a relief to read a

letter in your column from' a woman who has the same problem I have. For yews I thought I was the only wife in the world whose husband col­ lected pornography, hid it under the rugs, in the trunk of the car, and even in the rafters of the attic.

When I first discovered my husband's "hob­ by," I was disgusted and shocked. He confessed that his intense interest in pornography began in -adolescence and I realized he was ill. I begged him to get psychiatric help but he refused. When our son found part of his collection he agreed to see a doctor. Although he is far from cured, he now understands his illness and is trying to get better.

I hope other wives who share this problem will recognize it is « sickness. Please teD them it takes a great deal of strength and courage to live with somebody else's problem, but it CAN be done, and I know it can be done, because I have been doing it. DBS MOINES.

Deaf D.M.: Chews for you. And for the thousands (yes, I sold thousand*; of other women who wrote to say they, too, are living with husbands who collect pornography. A problem understood is « problem hal/ solved. Thanks to all of you «*» wrote to say, " toe." VN.. ....

"Me,

Dear Ann Landers: I am 18 and going steady with a fellow 19. Jamie dated a girl for three years before I knew him. He says it was kid stuff and his love for me is much greater than the feeling he had for her. He did admit that she broke off with him, however.

Jamie is very fond of this girl's parents. When we first began to date he used to take me over there at least twice * week.

They are nice people but I was awfully un­ comfortable in their presence and told him so. A few times his ex-sweetheart was at home when we arrived and J wanted to die. Finally I refused to go anymore, but he still goes at least once a week.

Jamie wants to marry me next year but I'm afraid he is still in love with his ex-sweetheart What do you say'? MONTREAL.

Dear Montreal: It sounds as if he is sttil torching, Honey. Date others and urge J«mie to do the same. If , in a. year, he still wants to marry you, and has knocked off his trfsits, re- consWer.

COUNT MARCO

Marriage Called a Convenienceparticularly Ro­

mans, took npMi the Ameri­ can institution of marriage as a laughably cmriodty.

Hera in Rome, newspapers print ttenas about American wives humoroualy portraying thtir doBar worth hi lira, on American marriagea (fa­ vorable), and fnrnOt delin­ quency (understandable in low income families, but shocking in upper income brackets).

They even quote the nnm- ber of eaistinf TlrgbM n the U.S., being delightedly ex­ plicit about the agea of the losers.

Though the Italian matea practically lay sole daim to inventing AMI*, they are the first to admit that if such a thing as tore exists In mar­ riage it b

It la

saiy for a husband and wife to be happy in each other's company, let alone love each other. The primary function of marriage is to found a new branch of the family, which wfD reinforce the existing one.

With the announcement of each birth, families (even the poorest) gather together to begin the practical search for a future mate for the child to insur* material gain and har­ monious expansion within- the family unit even joining cousin with cousin, if neces- aary.

Harmony, even above ma­ terial gain, is a prime req­ uisite. Many a solidly united family, when giving in to praaaura by a daughter or son to select their own mates, has found to Its everlasting shock that th* Amily unit has been

split factkmally by the inter­ loper who dares to "want to go it alone without in-law in­ terference."

The newcomer is considered a malcontent, a troublemaker and a misfit, deliberately creating warfare between families, children and par­ ents, and sisters and brothers.

A daughter who Insists on marrying for love is firmly reminded that "love is for adolescents."

The Italians will discuss marriages freely, even excit­ ably. But when I tell them that Americans hear that Ital­ ians are rapidly pushing to­ ward the day when divorce will be legalized In Italy and "hundreds of thousands of wives will rush to the courts seeking freedom from theii oppressors," they shrug non- commitally with a gesture that means' "Who can say?"
