For la past sever Al months one has not been Able to pick up a Mapa inc a newspaper without Reading yet another Story about  s been All Over to and radio As we and like  \ am stared to Dalh. Although Many reliable authorities mtaal49mf ii  Eera it i ii in in. Grateful family thanks Many for care of Mother say it is outrageous to ban an aids child from school i am not sure i would want my youngsters to sit next to a child who has the disease. Irrational probably but i am not alone in my feelings. I have read your column for As Long As you have been writing it. Ann. I know you have Access to the country s top consultants. I know too that you Tell it like it is. In language everybody can understand. Will you please give us As much information As you can about this dreaded disease the new Republic Points out that while aids has struck Only a Small fraction of the population it has spawned a second epidemic hysteria which is even scarier. It fiscal cd afraid aral for regarding aids. According to the new York Post chs poll 47 percent of the people think it is possible to get aids from a shared drink ing Glass. I heard an authority say this is absolutely no True. Is it please. Ann let s have some facts. No name just terrified in Tarrytown dear Tarry i have before me a huge pile of letters from readers who ate also scared to death of aids. I shall attempt to Deai a it a Many questions As space permits. At this writing according to the nation Al centers for disease control in Atlanta 14,125 people hate been diagnosed As suf Fering with aids. Hair of those people time died.

Scencer the health commissioner of new York City there a no signs that this fatal health disorder in spreading beyond the two main risk groups homosexuals and int rainout drug users. Aids is not a highly contagious Dis ease nor a it spread through casual con tact. The virus does not float through Theair or get into food nor can you gel it by tiseling with working with or going to school with a person who has it. The aids virus is transmitted either through sexual Contact Imol Ting the breaking of bodily tissue and exchanging of bodily fluids from contaminated Needles used by drug addicts or from Cor Umi led blood in a transfusion. The lat Ter b no longer considered threat since Cree Aias methods bait already Beta perfected. A Small number of babies whose mothers Bate aids have been born with the disease please be aware that you cannot get aids from giving Wood. Many people tote become so irrational on this subject they a stopped being blood donors. Although the aids virus has been found in semen blood saliva and tears there b not one shred of evidence that anyone has Ever contracted the illness from kissing an aids patient or fro coming in Contact with his tears. Also the worry about mos Quilos carrying the virus a totally without foundation. Also without foundation Are the stars of gelling ally in a swimming Pool from a Public Tele phone a toilet scat or food served or prepared by homosexuals.

Writer says Public disciplining sometimes needed in the past several months there have been several letters pertaining to the subject of disciplining children in Public. The general Assumption drawn fro these is if these parents admonish their dependents in this Way in Public can you imagine How they carry on at Home Well frankly we can.
