WEDDING PLANNING PROMPTS BRIDE TO QUESTION MARRIAGEDEAR ABBY: I’m getting married in a few months, and with all of the wedding planning, I have realized that in my fiance’s priorities, I come last, as do my opinions and desires. We were supposed to go to a nice restaurant for his birthday, so I made reservations a month in advance. Yesterday (two days before his birthday) his parents decided they wanted to take him out to dinner to celebrate it. He immediately canceled our plans to go to the nice restaurant so he can have dinner with them. I told him it seems like I always come last, and no matter what we plan, if his parents say go, he goes. He said that isn’t true, but it is. Now that I realize I will never come first, I’m having doubts about marrying him. When I told him we should hold off on getting married, he said we are NOT postponing the wed-ding, and we WILL get married on the date we picked. Although I express my feelings about postponing the wedding almost every day, I get nowhere. Now I feel like I’m being forced to marry someone I’m not sure I want to marry. I’m not in a good emotional state, and I am constantly thinking of suicide. If I’m forced to marry someone I don’t want to, how am I supposed to have a happy and healthy life? -- MIXED UP IN THE MIDWESTDEAR MIXED UP: Because you are having suicidal thoughts, it is imperative that you talk with a mental health professional who can guide you back on track. Please do this RIGHT AWAY! If you and your fiance haven’t had premarital counseling, insist upon it NOW. And absolutely postpone that wedding. Feeling as you do, and under these circumstances, you should not marry ANYONE. DEAR ABBY: I read you every morning, and I need your advice. I am writing you from a nursing home. I am 97 years old, and I am in a wheelchair because I cannot stand, but I still make up my bed. I am an artist, and I still paint. I give the paintings I create to those who help me.My room is small, and it will not hold a lot of stuff. I have a grandson who brings me clothes and food because I cannot eat much because of my teeth.My problem is, when old friends come to see me, they bring beautiful gifts. They are kind, but I can-not use what they bring -- a comforter that is much too big for my bed, extra pillows or very large books that are hard to keep in my small space, although I love reading.The nursing home is nice, and I get good care. It is kept clean, and they see I get what I need. I feel blessed. Abby, I love my friends and don’t want to hurt their feelings. This issue of gifts has become more than I know how to deal with. Can you help me know what to tell them? -- GRATEFUL IN TEXASDEAR GRATEFUL: Tell these lovely -- and generous -- friends that you deeply appreciate their caring and generosity, but because your room is so small, you have no place to put the items. If they haven’t been in your room, show it to them so they can see for themselves.

Dear AbbyDear Abbyby Abigail Van Buren

Happy Birthday: Size up situations and take control. Turn your dreams into a reality. Let experience be your guide to a better and brighter future. Concentrate on personal accomplishments that encourage you to look and do your best. Avoid joint ventures and expenditures that aren’t necessary. How you deal with your peers and take care of business will make a difference. Your numbers are 4, 11, 23, 28, 35, 39, 44. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Focus on getting things done. Don’t rely on others to do things for you. Abide by rules, and read the fine print. Pursue the people and pastimes that inspire you the most. Ro-mance will improve your personal life. ***TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Make your position clear. Speak up and make plans that will help you reach your goal. Walk away from situations that appear indulgent or expensive. Know what you want, and negotiate on your own behalf. Do your own thing. *****GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Get everything in place before you decide to share your ideas and plans with others. You’ll have a tendency to think too big, and that can lead to trouble if you make premature promises. Stick to what’s doable. **CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t let a challenge get you down when it’s meant to get you moving. Embrace any opportunity to try something new or to initiate a change at home that is constructive and geared toward saving more and living with less. ****LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Refuse to let an emotional situation lead to an argument or dispute that will put you in an awkward position. Adjust to whatever situation you face, and get things done so you can move on to more enjoyable tasks. ***VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Change should begin within yourself. Don’t let anyone force you into something that causes uncertainty. Take the initiative, and set your goals as well as the pace you want to maintain. Consistency and communication will be your tickets to success. *** LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Emotions will surface when dealing with money, legal or health matters. Rely on common sense and research, and investigate all your options thoroughly. Work alone, and you’ll reach your goal without interference. *** SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You can bring about favorable changes by using knowledge, communicat-ing with the people who will be affected by the choices you make and taking the initiative to fulfill your dream. A partnership will bring out the best in you. ***SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Put greater emphasis on how you look and feel, and the way you treat others. Partnerships will make a difference, and trust will be crucial if you plan to get ahead. Per-sonal improvements should be made. It’s time to up your game. *****CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t trust others to do things for you. Remain focused on your objec-tive, and push forward until you reach your goal. Home improvements are favored, but joint ventures are not. Spend cautiously, and use common sense regarding matters that involve institutions.**AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A change may be inevitable. Concentrate on what you do best, and take care of your health and physical fitness. A good workout will help you adjust to whatever situation you face and clear your head to ensure you make better choices. ***PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Handle an emotional situation and partnerships with care. An argument will not help matters and can lead to emotional or financial loss. Look for a positive and sensible solution that will deter being taken advantage of. Rely on your intuition.***

A War Memorial Turns 15

Mini Fact:The Freedom Wall has 4,048 gold stars. Each star stands for 100 of those who died in the war.

Next Week:Summer reading

Fifteen years ago, a new memorial was dedicated in Washington, D.C. Since then, millions of visitors have walked through the memorial and paid tribute to the men and women who served in World War II, which lasted from 1939 to 1945. In honor of Memorial Day on May 27, The Mini Page visits the National World War II Memorial.

World War II The Second World War ended almost 75 years ago. You may have great-grandparents who helped our country fight its way to victory. Franklin Roosevelt was president during most of World War II. Harry S. Truman took over when Roosevelt died in 1945. He was president when the war ended. The United States did not enter the war until 1941, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, a U.S. base for the Navy. Roosevelt called Dec. 7, 1941, “a date which will live in infamy*,” and Congress declared war on Dec. 8.

Americans fought World War II in two main theaters, or regions, which came to be known as the Atlantic and Pacific. More than 30 countries eventually were involved in the war.

The memorial • The two arches stand for the Atlantic and Pacific regions. • At the time of World War II, there were 48 states, seven territories and the District of Columbia. The memorial has 56 pillars, each one with the name of the state or territory and bronze oak and wheat wreaths. • Twenty-four panels made of bronze line the entrance to the memorial. These show scenes from the war, including soldiers getting medical exams and coming home from the war. • The Rainbow Pool is at the center of thememorial. • The memorial lies on the National Mall between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial.

The war effort Civilians, or people who were not serving in the armed forces, were much more involved in the war effort than people are today. Many families had victory gardens, where they grew vegetables to eat so that other food could be sent to the troops. Kids felt strongly about recycling. Many did their part to help the war effort by collecting scrap materials to be used in making weapons and machines. In some cities, there were blackouts so light would not guide enemy planes or submarines to targets. People would draw heavy blackout shades across their windows at night to keep light inside. Families were encouraged to read the newspaper and listen to the radio for news of the war. They were discouraged from spreading false rumors.

Rationing Many items were scarce because they were needed in the war effort or because they had to be shipped to our allies, or countries who were fighting on our side. Rationing, or distributing items equally, was an effort to give everyone a fair share of scarce goods and keep prices low. The rationed items included gas, coffee, sugar, rubber, beef, oils and some canned foods.

Words that remind us of World War II are hidden in this puzzle. Some words are hidden backward, and some letters are used twice. See if you can find:

By 2030, there may be 9 billion people on the planet. As numbers rise, more and more land will be needed for farming. Earth has enough fertile land for everyone on the planet, but resources aren’t divided equally. The United Nations and other organizations are working to reduce poverty and hunger. Food aid is given to people at risk of starvation, but the real solution is to improve farming in developing countries so people can grow enough food to be able to feed themselves.
