Gazette-Times, Corvallis, Oregon, Friday, February 24, 1961 GAZETTE TIMES Social whit Adair Airman and Wife Chosen Winners of Good Neighbor Bonus Newlyweds, A1C and Mrs. Lloyd Swanson, have been chosen to receive the February Good Neighbor Bonus Award from -this month's Good Neighbor merchant, Gene Hansen's Life Insurance agency. The Swansons were married No. vember 1, 1960 at the Adair Air Station chapel. They are now making their home at 427 North 11th.

Mrs. Swanson was born in Idaho in 1942. When she was 11, the family moved to Red Bluff, and it was there that she met her husband-to-be in the summer of 1957. He had joined the Air Force in June 1956 and was stationed in Red Bluff in 1957.

Levine M.D. Emotional Upset Causes Bedwetting (Q) I have a 4-year-old daughter who seems very intelligent for. her age. At 3 years old she was completely toilet trained, but during the summer she started wetting. This is still continuing and I am at my wit's end.

When we take her out she is very good and tells us every time she has to go, but at home or at play she just refuses. We have tried every way to call her attention to it, even tried ignoring it, but nothing works. I put her back on a potty and told her she would be like the baby and she carried on with a tantrum. She has no kidney infection and seems to be emctionally stable. She has never had any other problem.

Mrs. M. A. When children of around 3 or 4 who have already been trained start returning to their infantile habits, such as soiling and wetting, there is almost always some emotional cause. And when we hear of a youngster of 3 or 4 who has reverted to these habits the first question which pops into our minds is, "Is there a baby in the home?" You referred in a brief way to your baby.

We're inclined to feel without even looking further into any other aspects of your daughter's environment that this is the cause. This is an extremely common occurrence when there is new baby in the home. Some youngsters try to climb into the baby's carriage; others refuse to walk and will only crawl the way the baby does; still others start talking baby talk. What is the explanation for this reverting back to baby ways? The older child feels that too much attention is being paid the baby. Mommy or Daddy always changing its diaper, picking it up because it's crying, giving it its bottle.

Even friends and relatives come over to see the baby, bring presents, and so on. The first child, like your daughter, sees that the baby soils and wets. She figures she will be like the baby, and if she soils and wets or acts in other ways like the baby, she will gain attention, too. Your little girl is telling you these actions that she does need more attention. But don't give her the attention of a baby.

You can tell her of the advantages of being the older child and give her special privileges: eating with you and her father, staying up later than the baby, taking little jaunts, etc. But don't tell her she's a "big girl and shouldn't act that If she wets just change her quickly with no fuss or anger. This should clear in a few weeks with extra attention and outward signs of your love for her. Your problem about your children will be answered through this column.

Y-BEE'S SHOE CENTER 120 S. 3rd Dear Ann Landers I have a problem Dear Ann Landers: Our 15-year-old son has a job after school and on Saturday. Bruce is a sensible, thoughtful boy who saves his money wisely.

He is very fond of his older brother; in fact, he "looks up to him as idol. Bruce bought, his older brother an electric razor which was an expensive for a boy of 15. His brother seemed pleased at the time but I happen to know he never used the gift. Last week I learned he re-wrapped the electric razor and gave it to his boss as a birthday present. When I asked him about it he said he was short of money and this was an emergency measure.

If Bruce finds out he'll be heartbroken. What shall I do? 1 E. J. L. Dear E.

J. Explain to the older boy that there's an even greater emergency on the home front. Lend him the money, if necessary, but see to it that he replaces the electric razor immediately. Bruce must never know his brother was so thoughtless and inconsiderate. Dear Ann Landers: You're the only one I can ask for help.

When you hear the problem you'll understand why. I started to go with Nick when I was 19. He was 27. and had already been divorced twice. He never talked to me much about his ex-wives but both were older than he was and both were alcoholics.

It sounds terrible when I write it, but at the time it didn't The landlady assumed we were married and so did everyone else. seem wrong he asked me to move into his place and I did. posed as Mrs. joint savings account, charge accounts, the whole works. That year we had a baby boy.

The next year a girl. Now we have four lovely children and are very happy. But he still has not married me. I've taken it easy on the subject because I know his former marriage experiences have made him afraid. Yesterday I brought it out in the open.

I told him our children are growing up and we MUST get married. He says our friends and family would be shocked and it would hurt him with his boss if he knew we had been living together illegally all these years. Please tell me what to do. I'll bet you've never had this problem before and you'll have to hunt plenty for an answer. LYNN Dear Lynn: I get this problem only about twice week.

have an answer all ready. Here it is: Marriage laws vary from state to state. Go to your city hall and consult the marriage license department. Ask if a ceremony can be performed and the records kept private. If they can do it seek no further.

If not, go to the nearest large city where you are not known. And may I be the first (and probably the ONLY one) to congratulate you? BRIDGE TROPHY WINNER for 1961 is Mrs. R. D.
