Mass Montreal and Boston Dear Ann Landers: I'm 39, divorced, and I've tried all the proper" ways to meet decent men. Here's where I am now: 1.

Stuck in a bowling league with some fun-loving sports average age, 75. 2. Out $50 joined a church singles group with a great bunch of folks. All very neurotic. 3.

Stuck in a political club as an officer with a bunch of dedicated people. All married. As it now stands, I have Wednesday evenings free and I'd like to invest that evening in something a little more promising than my other ties. Would you please ask your readers two questions: 1. Other women who found themselves divorced and widowed: Where and how did you meet your second husband? 2.

Unmarried, straight, non-alcoholic, self-supporting males over 39: Where do you go in hopes of meeting a woman worth marrying? I don't get much sympathy from the old folks in the bowling league, or the neurotic singles, or the political married. They all say the same thing: "You shouldn't have any trouble. You have SO much to offer." Now my only problem is to find someone to offer it to. How about some help from your corner? Wednesdays Free Dear Free: O.K., here's your letter. How about it, second-time-arounders? Where did you meet your second husband? And you unattached, desirable guys where do you go in search of a girl you could bring home to mother? Please tell me so I can tell HER! Dear Ann Landers: I was irritated by that letter from the woman who implied that when the wife is in the driver's seat and her husband is beside her, it means she is the dominanant personality in the family and runs things figuratively as well as literally.

In our family, it's quite a different story. My husband is a strong man and the head of the household, except when he has had too much to drink. It doesn't happen very often but the last time it did, he insisted on driving home from a party and nearly killed us both. Now we have an understanding. Whenever he has had even one drink, I do the driving.

I told him, "TU take a taxi before I ride with a drunk." He got the message. Get Bombed And You're A Passenger Dear G.B.: Since booze is a factor in approximately 50 per cent of car accidents, your position makes a great deal of sense. I hope other wives will follow your lead. Here's another good letter: Dear Ann Landers: I do the driving in our family. Although my husband looks like the picture of health, he has a medical problem which would make driving hazardous.

The details are nobody's business and I feel no obligation to explain. Occasionally some clod will make a crack about my being in the driver's seat. I retaliate with an icy stare. I have seriously considered having a sign made which reads "MYOB" or have you copyrighted the phrase'5 Corpus Christt Dear Chris: Be my guest.

Barre Alderman Tradition Could Be Upset Next Year money or things does not bring contentment. Those who try to subtract from their lives all responsibility for others and gain freedom by living in a completely unencumbered state find their lives dull and meaningless.

The Charleston Department assisted Island Pond during recent serious fires and the selectmen agreed to donate the truck The Town of Bnghton purchased a new fire engine last year. The board also discussed the redirecting of traffic in the downtown area and suggested using a traffic light, enforcing one way traffic on Main Street and relocating some of the stop signs.

J. A. Wade informed the board members that he was told bv Michael Corell of the Governor's Crime Commission that radio equipment valued at $2,500 had been given to the town for use by the full-time police officer However, since the town did not vote to retain a full-time officer, the equipment could not be accepted.

Archibald lives on Granite Street, which is between North Main Street and the Stevens Branch He lives on the eastern side of the ward when the river is accepted as the dividing line, but now supporters of Masi are claiming that the real dividing line is North Main Street. If this is so. Masi and Archibald could serve on the City Council without upsetting the east-west tradition. "You can identify me with whatever side of the ward you wish." said Archibald last week in acknowledging the arguments are evenly balanced as to whether the river or North Main Street should be regarded as the ward's dividing line. Masi.

The fuel situation has been complicated by the fact the city traditionally buys gasoline on the basis of bids. The low bidder this year was not low bidder the previous year.
