Firelands Antiquarians Club Sixteen members were on hand when Mrs. Les Cunningham hosted the November meeting of the Firelands Antiquarian Club. Mrs.

Earl Pelow presided over the brief business meeting. Mrs. Milton Wales presented an interesting and enlightening program on "readin' 'n writin' She said that since reading is simply a decoding of symbols, some form of writing had to come first. Speaking as a reading specialist, she stressed the need for students of all ages to experience writing in order to be better readers. Information on the securing, restoration and preservation of valuable books was given.

According to Mrs. Wales there are records of book auctions being held in the American colonies during the 1600s. Book auctions are still the best bet for serious collectors, although it is not unusual to come across quite valuable editions at rummage sales, Mrs. Wales said. No matter how torn a book jacket becomes, it should not be discarded, Mrs.

Wales explained. It is sometimes even more valuable than the book itself. A geography book with a copyright date of 1858, owned by Marie Wonnell, was one of several very old books displayed.

She Forms available Most major home appliance buyers are quick to mail in the warranty card covering their purchase, but often ignore the manufacturer's product registration form. E. James Kuberek, president of a consumer service company, said sending in the product registration form can be just as important to the consumer.

"While it's true that the warranty guarantees the integrity of the product, the registration form offers the customer additional benefits," he said. "Frequently, major home appliance manufacturers will offer an extended warranty to appliance owners at a later date. Information on the form enables them to contact these owners quickly. "In addition, the forms also help locate affected appliances in the unlikely event that a recall is ever necessary," he concluded.

Taylor) Ann Landers Dear Ann Landers: I'd like to respond to the 18- year-old high school senior who wrote a poem that began: "Our Father who art in Heaven, where the hell have you been? Our leaders are all lunatics and the world is full of sin." The senior thanks God for tooth decay, cancer, nuclear waste, etc. Dear Senior: God is where He has always been. He did not move away from man. Man moved away from HIM. Through disobedience, man reaped all this sin, sickness, immorality, war, tooth decay, cancer, nuclear wastelands, ad infinitum.

Still, God is merciful to those who seek Him with all their hearts, as millions can testify. Each one of us is personal to Him, as seen in the fact that there are no two fingerprints alike. He created each of us separately. Just think of that. From Beaver, Pa.

Dear Friend: Beautifully said. Dear Ann Landers: Saw another letter in your column from a complaining woman bogged down by she two can't children live the a sorry same kind of life as before. Travel! Fun! Such happy days! Now she is "deadtired" and "tied down." Then you, Ann Landers, bring up your survey again the one where you asked, "If you had it to do over again, would you have had children?" You said 70 percent replied, "No." I ask you, Ann, when did you survey this 70 percent? When the children were babies? One year old? Six years old? Teen-agers? college graduates? Or after they had children of their own? I found the time raising my children the most exciting and fun years of my life. I wouldn't have missed them for anything. I don't believe your survey.

Anyone can publish a "survey," and the public will believe it if it is printed in the newspaper. Suspicious In Palo Alto Dear Palo: That 70 percent represented parents from every group you mentioned. The majority of responses came from (1) young parents with babies and (2) parents of teenagers. I am not surprised that you are suspicious about the survey. I wouldn't have believed it either, except for the evidence right there in huge piles on my desk.

I still haven't recovered from it. Dear Ann Landers: I had no idea how serious my weight control method was until I read about it in your column. I was one of those crazies who used to eat everything in sight, then force myself to vomit. I took your, advice and went to Overeaters Anonymous. Lucky for me they let me join, because I was clearly off my rocker at the time.

Thank you, Ann, for informing millions of people about that terrible psychological disorder and what to do about it. It saved my life. Recovering In Houston Dear Houston: Although there are many excellent weight-loss groups, Overeaters Anonymous seems to have the best results with people who suffer with bulimia. Thanks for giving me a chance to say it again. Are your parents too strict? Hard to reach? Ann Landers' booklet, "Bugged By Parents? How to Get More Freedom," could help you bridge the generation gap.
