The Genealogy Section would like to encourage anyone who enjoys doing family research to come out every third Wednesday of each month to its meetings, which are usually held at the Research Library in the Kosciusko County Historical Museum.

LOUISA'S LETTER (» .•) g=S: St

Dear Louisa, We are friends with this couple and we like them very much. There is only one trouble about associating with them — they seem to be competing with each other, even in conversation. If the man is talking about something — and I may be interested in what he is saying — his wife will turn to me and start talking about something altogether different. And vice-versa, if she is talking about something he turns to be my husband and begins on a different subject. They give the impression that women are not interested in what men have to say or that men are not interested in what women have to say. What can we do about this? I think it is extremely rude to interrupt someone while thy are talking and it is possible that the listeners are interested in what is being said by number one. Frustrated — Ky.

singing group comprised of residents of Kosciusko County. Many in the audience sang along as the group presented songs

Answer: People who try to monopolize the conversation are either very egotistic or are compulsive talkers. They either think that people find them fascinating or they are trying hard to impress their friends with what they have materially, or their imaginary backgrounds. I doubt if you can do anything about this situation unless you keep your face turned to the first speaker and ignore the blast which is coming from the other direction. Louisa Address: Louisa, Box 532, Orangeburg, S.C. 29115.
