DEAR ANN LANOIIIS:
My best friend’s husband’s
died last week. He worked
for my husband To all ap-
they were >a very
His his (widow,
really) asked me if I would
clean out his desk because
she couldn’t bear to do it. Of
course, I said yes.
At the bottom of the desk
drawer I found a pile of fifty
pictures. In a locked file
cabinet (which I pried open
with a screwdriver and ham-
mer), I discovered dozens of
obscene magazines, films,
and gadgets—ail pertaining
to sex.
I wonder how many people
who keep such things “semi-
hidden” ever think of what
might happen if they should
die suddenly from a heart at-
tack or in an accident.
I destroyed everything I
I found and now I wonder if
I had the right to do it. Per-
haps I should have boxed the
stuff and sent it to her. Please
advise, mid thanks, Ann for
letting me get this off my
chest.—A Loyal Reader
MAR LOYAL: You did the
right thinkg. Sending your
friend the garbage would
have been extremely upset-
ting and possibly marred her
fond memories of her husband
and their life together.
And now I hope every per-
son in my reading audience
will put him- (or her-) self
in the place of the man who
died suddenly. Ask yourself,
could your wallet, purse, or
desk drawer stand the scru-
tiny of your family? If not,
do something to protect him
and yourself in the event that
tomorrow you become a sta-
tistic.
ANN LANMRS:
Why are parents always the
No. 1 tweakers of their own
rules?
For example: My mother’s
favorite rule is, “No yelling
from one person to another
if that person is in another
room.” Whenever any of us
kids do it we get holy heck,
but Mom does it" all the time.
Another one of her pet rules
is, “No talking with food in
your mouth.” We can’t do it,
but she can—and she does—at
every meal. My list could go
on forever.
I know parents should have
some special privileges, but
it sure is tough to have to
stick to rules when the person
who made them up breaks
them left and right. What can
we do about it?—Children Of
A Mother Who Needs To Shape
Up
MAR CHILDREN: Sorry,
1 can’t do anything to shape
up your mother and neither
can you. So why don’t you
just love her the way she is?
And it might help if you kids
try to remember that your
mom wants you to go out into
the world with really good
manners. What she is trying
to do is teach her children
some of the finer points that
her mother never taught her.
A mom who works at that
sort of thing can’t be all bad.
Paint spill is bad news
By Polly Cramer
POLLY’S PROBLEM
DEAR POLLY — When we were moving the lid
came off of a paint can and the paint spilled on my
favorite afghan. I really need help. The dry cleaner
could do nothing — MABEL
DEAR MABEL — You failed to say what kind of
paint spilled and whether or not your afghan is wool
or a combination of fibers. Since the paint has dried
it will doubtless be impossible to remove if it was
latex, acrylic or water base paint. If it was oil base
paint you might apply turpentine, rinse off, rub with
bar soap, rinse and then launder as usual. Do test for
effect of turpentine on the threads and colors. Good
luck and you really need it. — POLLY
DEAR POLLY — My Pointer is for the reader who goes
to so much trouble when cutting up an onion. All she needs
to do is turn the onion upside down and cut from the root
end. There should be no more tears if she tries this. —
LOLA
DEAR POLLY — During the cold months I too make
rolls filled with sand to lay across the bottoms of doors
where drafts come in. But I make mine to look like snakes.
I use my scrap yam to make the roll, which is long and
round like a snake and I put on two buttons for eyes.
I clean my bathroom mirror with shaving cream and rub

it really good to keep it from fogging up from the steam.
ETHEL
DEAR POLLY — At a recent wedding which I attended
the guests were given packets of bird seed instead of rice to
toss on the bride as she exited from the church. I thought
this was an excellent idea. — MARGARET
DEAR POLLY — I haVe a timely tip for the warm
weather. We went camping without cleanser or a bottle
brush but mother saved the day by cleaning scorched pots
with sand and a damp cloth. Even baby’s bottles looked
like new after a washing with warm soapy water and a few
pebbles. Sounds primitive but they both worked. — MRS.
P.W.W.
DEAR POLLY — My Pet Peeve is with my co-workers.
They spend the entire day cutting up and ridiculing others
and when I do not join in their discussions they say “How
come you are always mad?”
Each month I make a list of all bills, miscellaneous items
and the amount I am going to put in the bank. This gives
me a monthly breakdown of what I will have to spend and
what is left over so I can see at a glance what I can afford
to spend for luxuries such as movies and things to pretty up
the house. — SHARON

Once fakheerleader:
Cashing; in on ’lost'talent
DALLAS (AP) — Many pro
football teams now decorate
their sidelines with attractive
girls billed as cheerleaders who
are actually more like go-go
dancers, but it all started with
the Dallas Cowboys.
So it’s only fitting that ex-
Cowboy cheerleaders should be
the first to attempt to cash in on
their former status.
Thus we now have Texas
Cowgirls, Inc., an alliance of 25
former Cowboy cheerleaders
who have formed a talent and
modeling agency.
Tina Jimenez started the ball
rolling after watching the most
recent Cowboy auditions and
noticing how many cheerlea-
ders failed to win back their
jobs.
“...I decided it was a shame
to waste such talent,” she said.
“These girls quit or get cut for
one reason or another and go
back to leading the same dull
lives they did before they were
cheerleaders. I realized it didn’t
have to be this way. We could
form an alumnae group to
utilize all this beauty and talent.
“Besides, once you’ve been in
the spotlight it’s hard to give it
up.”
Tina put up ho- savings to get
things started and serves as the
company’s president. She said
fees will average $50 an hour,
with assignments rotated so
that all the Cowgirls get an
equal share.
At that point, some hints of
dissatisfaction with the Cowboy
organizaton surface.
“This was one of the prob-
lems with being a Cowboys
cheerleader,” Tina said. “Some
worked more than others. We
won’t have any favorites.” One opportunity that has

VFW chief raps
volunteer Army
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -
The national commander of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars says
the all-volunteer Army is a fail-
ure and should be replaced by a
no-loophole draft.
“The all-volunteer Army is a
failure as a fighting force,”
John Wasylik told delegates to
the 58th Ohio VFW convention
at its closing session Saturday
night.
“A large percentage of people
are going into the volunteer
Army for a job, which means
that their mental attitudes
would be poor in combat,”
Wasylik said.
“Educational standards have
been lowered again in recent
weeks,” he complained, adding
that “40 percent of enlistees do
not complete their enlistments.
“The National Guard and Re-
serves are more than 150,000
people short and in a crisis po-
sition,” he said. i
The VFW urges a no-loophole
draft to replace the all-volun-
teer army, he said.
Mulligan's stew
Holiday memories
of a legendary man
By HUGH A. MULLIGAN
AP Special Correspondent
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -
Whenever I'm fii the French'
Quarter anywhere near the
Fourth of July and a funeral
band struts by, I always think
it’s a shame Louis Armstrong
didn’t go out that way.
It would have been the
biggest, blarin’est, most soulful
funeral in the history of New
Orleans.
Louis belonged to the world,
but this was his town. Like
those other great American
testaments, the Declaration of
Independence, Stephen Foster
and George M. Cohan, he was

born on the Fourth of July.
Fifteen years ago, for an AP
feature story, I traveled with
Louis Armstrong and his band
when they were doing one night
stands in the towns along the
Ohio River.
In the darkness of the West
Virginia night, as the chartered
bus caromed over the hills and
around the sharp curves, Louis
spoke of his beginnings and his
end. He was bom in the New
Orleans red light district,
placed in the Negro Waifs
Home, and, in his words, “was
reared in an ebony world of
church people, gamblers,
hustlers, cheap pimps, thieves,
prostitutes and lots of
children.”
His earliest memory was of
standing in the doorway of
Sicilian Henry Matranga’s
place on Perdido watching the
great Joe “King” Oliver
“sweet talk his trumpet with
one foot on a big brass spitoon
and his cheek puffed out with
wind and a chaw of tobacco.”
His first break in life came at
age six when Bunk Johnson
contributed a bugle to the
orphanage. Louis grew up on
that bugle and soon he was
sitting next to KingOliver in Kid
Ory’s band. Next thing you
know, he was heading up the
Mississippi, “into Mister
Charlie’s country,” to far away
places, all the way to St. Louis,
which W.C. Handy made
famous, and Davenport, where
Bix Beiderbecke, a white man,
was doing original things with
the jazz taught him by passing
black musicians.
Long after the rest of the
band were asleep on those
lumpy leather bus seats, Louis
let out an audible sigh that was
almost in perfect conterpoint to
trombonist Big Chief Russell
Moore’s baritone snoring. He
spoke of Papa Celestin’s
funeral through the French
Quarter and, then at age 63 (he
was born in 1900), of his own
end, which was less than a
decade away.
“I know it’s corny,” he said,
“but that’s the way I want to
go, with a band out to the
cemetery and back. I told my
wife Lucille to give the boys all
the whiskey they want. Let
them get good and snookered
with 01’ Satch, just so long as
they blow me home.”
It didn’t work out that way.
When Louis died on July 6,
1971 the family decided
America’s ambassador with
jazz portfolio to the world
deserved something less
parochial, more dignified.
There had been some criticism,
long ago, when he agreed to be
King of Zulu in the all black
mardi gras parade, so maybe it
was just as well at the end that
there was no mistaking the real
king for a caricature. Given his
popularity, foe passions in-
volved, a Dixieland funeral for
foe king bom on the Fourth of
July might have got out of
hand.
