Dear Ann Landers: My husband passed away recently, He was a
wonderful person and we had a good life together,

Harry's heart's desire was to go to Hawaii, Our daughter and
son-in-law wanted to take us there for our wedding anni-
veresary, but Harry was too far along in his terminal illness to

make the trip.

When they returned, they brought Harry a beautiful brown
and white aloha shirt and a pair of white slacks. He was so proud of
that outfit, When Harry knew he was dying he said to our
son-in-law, “It's a shame J will never be able to wear that great
setup you brought me from Hawaii.”

I decided Harry should have his wish. I asked the funeral
director if it would be all right to bury my husband in the aloha
shirt and the white alacks. He said, “Of course, if that’s what you

want to do.”

A few days after the funeral, I heard some criticlam about it,
It bothered me terribly—and it stil! docs. I wake up at night and
wonder why I didn’t bury Harry in a dignified dark blue suit with a

white shirt and a striped tie. It see:

eems insane now to worry about

such a thing, but 1 do, Please, Ann, tell me if I did the wrong thing.
If you say I did J will pray for forgiveness.

—Norfolk Reader

Dear Reader: You did the right thing. Harry wanted to wear that
outfit and you saw to it that he got his wish.

And now, to you readers out there who would love to go to
Hawaii—or any other beautiful place—don’t wait till it's too late,
the way Harry did. Go while you fan.

Dear Ann Landers

Does an unemployed husband have’ the right to ask his wife for
sex after 11 p.m. if she has to be at work at 8 a.m.—even if he
drives her to her job every morning?

Please answer this in the paper. I want him to hear it from
you. He has heard it from me plenty but he doesn't get the idea,

Thank you very much.

—Very Tired In Ohio

Dear Tired: I need more information in order to give you an
intelligent answer. For example: How often does this unemployed
man want sex after 11 p.m.? Once a week? Every night? Does his
insistence deprive you of ten minute's sleep or an hour? Writo
again, please. I don't want to be unfair to either of you,

Dear Ann Landers: I am tired of hearing about the loneliness and
boredom of retired people. I am not talking about the sick and
disabled in their 80's and 90's, I mean the healthy, vigorous ones in

their 60's and 70's.

UFO Report Corresponds
With Lyrid Meteorite Shower

Numerous reports of a

‘UFO sighting were hoard in the

Castlegar area early last Thurs-
day morning and subsequently
carried on the CBC network,

Rossland astronomer Bob
McAllister says these reports
correspond with the regular
appearance of the Lyrid mete-
orite shower,

“It was the right time of

and the right

he said, “and

the direction and all other

details suggest to me very

strongly: that this is what it
was,”

.The two people, Bob Bar-
ten and Tim Court, who saw the
bright Hght in the north sky,
said it was brilliant for about 10
seconds and then disappeared,
Mr. McAllister said he has seen
a number of meteors and
fireballs with exactly those
characteristics “one of which
was as bright as a mercury are

street light.” He said that
around the 2ist of the month, at
about 8 a.m., he has seen as
many as 60 meteora in an hour.

Commenting on the report
that Thursday's sighting ap-
peared to be only a few feet off
the ground, the noted astrono-
mer said that at night, with
nothing to relate it to, size is
impossible to estimate.

“What an observer should
do,” he sald, “is point to the
location of the first sighting and
take a compass bearing; then
do the same at the point where
it disappears,” He said if some
in’ Castlegar did this, and
someone in Trail or Nelson, it

would help establish the true

distance of the object.

Mr. McAllister, a Fellow of
the Royal Astronomical Soci-
ety, still takes an active inter-
est in space phenomena, al-
though he is now legally blind.

from helping others instead of running to Kaffeeklatches, card

games, gossipy lunches, or just sitting home driving each other
fazy!

Ofcourse there are exceptions, and they are the happiest ae

feel they have earned the rest. But the most fun in the ae
comes from helping others. If they only knew it!
