She said it would destroy me emotionally and suggested thai think it Over for a few Days. I decided to forget about an abortion. I m in my ninth month now. My husband is working and is no longer depressed. Life looks cheery again it abortion were against the Law i would have found a Way to have it done illegally in Spile of All the horror stories 1 had heard about those underground places. Under such conditions i never would have had Access to the counselling i received from that woman at the abortion clinic i had no idea i would gel that kind of caring counsel. I Hope you will share this letter with your readers Ann. I la bet most of them arc As ignorant As i was. Happy and thankful dear hippy Letten such As yours help me to educate the Public. Thank you fur your contribution to the general welfare of Ray Roii n. The Point you nude is an excellent one. Dear Ann Landers not Long ago you had a letter from someone who questioned your advice to go to a minister for counsel. The woman who wrote went to a minister and he told the entire congregation about her problem so they could Pray about it you replied the vast majority of clergy we trustworthy. Unfortunately you just happened to get a bum you advised her to report or Clatter trap to his Superior. I appreciate your Confidence in ministers. Those of our rank who serve in the historic denominations As Well As virtually All rabbis Are Well trained and have had Al cast three Yean of Post baccalaureate educator. Unfortunately the minister in this Case sounds Tik eone from an Independent fundamentalist sect he probably has no Superior to whom he could be reported. Furthermore it is More than Likely that he has had no training from an accredited institution. Your across the Board recommendation to see a minister or rabbi needs to be tempered with who has some academic credentials and is in a responsible religious denomination that provides some oversight. And please Ann Tell your readers not to simply Trust the title hundreds of fundamentalist preach ers who Bave not finished any College or University manage to Aulii doctor before their names and this includes some who have to programs i m sure Many of your comp indents ask you not to use their names. It s perfectly of with me if you use mint the Rev. J. Shelbourn presbyterian Church Beatrice neb. Dear Rev. Shelbourn link Yon for your very Good letter. And now i will probably be deluged ill tellers from preachers with and without to programs defending their right to peach. Write if of j " " you Falls to space will not Sun u Battle group Arm fight cd a dwt Morici Syi Mem first Santa letter has no return address we have just received our first letter to Santa Glaus. Casey who apparently lives at Raf Fairford England has written about a Little Pony and some slickers. We will Send he Letler on to Santa because he can find where Casey lives. We can to because there s no return address. When Christmas gets closer be sure you put your return address on your letters families need reassurance says general there is a Story supposedly a True Story about an Eastern woman who wrote the governer of a South Western state just a few years ago. She said site planned to visit his stale but was a Little afraid because of All the wild stories she had heard about hostile natives and bandits. Someone with a sense of humor in the governor s office put together a special proclamation worded in appropriately official style on impressive stationary and signed by the governor himself which read some thing like this attention All knaves ruffians and n or do Wells residing within the jurisdiction of this stale the Honor Able governor of said state has conferred his special Protection upon the bearer of this document and will shelter her with All the forces of Law and decency. You arc hereby ordered to protect and assist her with Suita ble respect for her special status.1 the awesome sounding paper was duly mailed tothe woman and after a few chuckles everyone pretty much forgot about the matter. Then another letter from the woman arrived a few months later. Enthusiastically she thanked the Gover nor and described How delightful her trip to his state had been. I Only had to use your proclamation a couple of times she is a funny Story of course hysterically funny to those of us who have travelled a lot and outgrown the fears thai stalked this poor woman s life. Yet Here is a serious Side to this Story one that should concern us All because it affects our loved ones Back in the is no denying that faraway places Are always viewed More intensely than they deserve. They seem More glamorous and Beautiful but also More alien and dangerous than they really arc. Anyone who says he in t affected by horror stories he has heard about Distant places even in his own country in t being totally candid. Think of All the wild talks one hears about new York City for exam ple. My goodness you d think nobody but rambo could survive there for a week. Of course if we Slop and think about it. A know that s silly millions of people live in new York City and love it and millions of visitors come to feel the same. Nevertheless it s hard to shake a bad impression about a place when we see a lot of bad news from there even if we know the news May be one sided. A lot of our friends and relatives in the . Are getting a bad impression of Europe from recent news reports about terrorism anti-. Demonstrations Etc. Many of them arc really convinced that you and i arc in daily peril in a hostile environment. We May need Only a heightened alertness and a few sensible precautions Bui Many Back Home Are truly and profoundly concerned for us. We have a responsibility to alleviate their anxieties. I urge everyone in your letters and phone Calls Home to help us overcome this problem. Make your time in Europe easier for those you love. Reassure them. Tell them what life is really like Here. Tell them the risk is limited and we Are taking Many precautions to protect ourselves. Let them know that the vast majority of our european hosts arc supportive and even people who have political disagreements with the . And nato policies arc polite and Friendly in personal dealings with americans. Your loved ones need that reassurance. And you will be helping your country too by helping to defuse the kind of misunderstandings that can Hurt our relationships with our european friends and weaken our Alliance. Brr. Gen. William b.
