Dear Abby...
Neither Ridiculous Nor Impossible
by Abigail Van Buren
DEAR ABBY: To you this letter might sound ridiculous, but to me — well, it's driving me crazy. How does one go about celebrating an anniversary when, if you give the correct date, your friends will find out that you had to get married? I have been married for 19 years and will soon have a 20th anniversary. Should I celebrate our anniversary two months sooner, or should I add a year? It seems like my conscience is bothering me more all the time. Please, please give me a solution as I don't want our friends and children to know.
A DEVOTED READER
DEAR READER: If you knew how many people had the same problem, you wouldn't think it was so "ridiculous." Simply say you were married in 1938, and celebrate on your actual wedding day. Good luck.
DEAR ABBY: I don't know about the others, but I was in Dallas in 1920 and Ginger Rogers won a Charleston contest at the Old Jefferson Theater on Elm, just west of Stone Street. She was 18 years old then. In my book that makes her 57!
WISE GUY
DEAR WISE GUY: According to the World Almanac Ginger Rogers was born in 1911. You need a new book.
DEAR ABBY: I play cards at a friend's home frequently and it's gotten so that I dread going there. Here's the reason: Her husband is always home and he stands behind me and watches me play. I don't know why he never stands behind anyone else. Just me. He never says a word but I can feel his eyes on my cards and his breath on my neck and I just want to scream. It has affected my game so that I always lose over there. I haven't the nerve to say anything. Would you tell him in a nice way that he makes you nervous, or isn't there a nice way?
NERVOUS
DEAR NERVOUS: Lay your cards on the table and tell this "watcher" that it befuddles you to be watched while playing cards. Be sure to smile when you say it — and watch him smile when he moves.
DEAR ABBY: I am going steady with a boy, who is my age (17) and if I weren't so nuts about him, I'd drop him. Last Sunday afternoon he said he'd be over. I waited all afternoon and he never showed up. About five o'clock I saw him riding around with the boys and when he saw me he slid down in the seat so I wouldn't see him, but he got up too fast. The next day at school he didn't even make an excuse for not coming over. He just said he "forgot." Can a boy forget a girl he says he is in love with?
STOOD UP
DEAR STOOD UP: He says he's "in love," but at his age he is

DEAR STOOD UP: He says he's "in love," but at his age he is only capable of a diluted variety, called "puppy love." Puppy-lovers say a lot of things that eventually land them in the doghouse. Don't take him seriously. He's got a lot of growing up to do.
CONFIDENTIAL TO "DIMPLES": Lose that sailor. He's a wolf in ship's clothing.

La Habra Police Chief Johnson Faces Mandatory Retirement Due to Age
LA HABRA (OCNS) — "Its the best thing that ever happened," La Habra Police Chief Andrew G. (Andy) Johnson said yesterday about his mandatory retirement effective Aug. 1 under the provisions of the state employees retirement system recently adopted by city employees and the city council.
Johnson becomes 65 the 30th of this month. The retirement system becomes effective July 1, making that the retirement age for persons in safety positions.
"I've been lucky in 32 years of police work in the county, and there is no need to push it," Johnson said. "Besides it makes room for the younger fellows."
Efforts by the City Administration to find a way to let Johnson continue for a "year or two" as he had hoped to do, met dead ends. City Attorney Harold McCabe studd.
led the provisions of the system, then inquiries were made of the State Attorney General's office and Gov. Edmund G. Brown.
Johnson learned of Brown's reply in a memorandum from City Administrator Robert Huntley Thursday. It quoted Brown, "I regret that there is no means whereby I can be of assistance to you in suspending the mandatory retirement age of your police chief."
City officials had hoped to announce the situation with several courses of action outlined to procure a new chief at the next council meeting, May 19, according to Administrative Assistant, Bob Rogers. He said the city had no definite courses of action laid out yet.
Johnson will have completed 17 years as chief in La Habra on June 1. He first came to the city for six months to "establish a new police force." "The job was not finished in six months so I just stayed on," Johnson said.
The average American factory hand now works less than 40 hours to earn the money he needs to buy the 60 farm foods which the government considers basic to his monthly market basket. It took him 51 hours to buy the same amount of food in 1952.
