Dea Chapi this poem by Veronica , is on of Ray All time favourites. Several read ers hire been asking for a rerun. Here h b. Comes the Dawn after while you learn the Subtle difference Between holding hand and Cha Inlet soul. And Yoa Lew but Tore does t Mem leaning and company Doest mean Security and Yoa begin to lean that kisses Aren t contracts and presents Arent promises and Yoa begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open with the Grace of a woman not the grief of a child and you learn to build All your Road on today because tomorrow s ground is too Uncertain for plans.

She never left our property. She was an inside outside cat a Delight a Lap Tiner Ajoy. Puff was basking in the Sun on our partly walled in Patio one afternoon when she was surprised by our neighbor s pit bulldog. Our son was Home at the time. He heard the noise chased the pit Bull away but not before it had very nearly torn puff apart. When we got her to the vat All he could do was put puff to sleep. Our neighbors Are pleasant people. They have  cent puff Flowers and a condolence card. But they have a son who allows the dog out in the Middle of the night. That dog has killed another cat in the neighbor Hood. Pit bulls should not be pets. If needed As guard dogs properly controlled they d be Fine. There ought to be a . In California deat Bijj my mall Bat has been Barking All week.

Page 11 letters readers want Strong policy on Iran we would like to address the issues of the american role in the persian Gulf and the courses of action that would in our opinion be effective. Aggression is in the eyes of the beholding nation. The United states and Iran have different motives goals and reasons historical and political for being in the Gulf. Both Are obvious. The United nations should realize that the Khomeini regime rules within the Guise of propaganda deceit and Mist Ruth. The Fervour created through anti americanism masks the fact that his country is spiritually and economically crippled by an endless War with Iraq. The iranian Are being misguided by a Man extremely Clever in his use of religion geography and politics to Advance his cause of moslem consolidation. We support the american policing of the Gulf sea lanes but questions remain most arc problematic and not easily answered. Is the United states ready for a prolonged conflict will Force against us in the Region have the same effects As in Lebanon in 1983? the thought of an embarrassing american pullout should t even be entertained. Will the Western nations and regional allies Back . Policy and support our efforts a conflict with Iran will definitely rally moslem radicals and perhaps moderates to answer the Call for brotherhood. By returning iranian personnel in the Wake of the disabling of their mine laying vessel the United states has shown that we will not lower ourselves to their level of condoning terrorism and hostage taking. Negotiation and appeasement have not worked in settling the differences with Iran and terrorist  sanctions will not Stop the iranian govern ment from fathering its policy of terror and destabilization. Belligerent ignorance understands Only one Lan Guage Force. The thought that a member of their family May die May curb their actions. Or it May enhance their fanaticism. A confrontation on a conventional scale will not yield desired results. We have nothing to gain in Iran. This would prove costly to the . In lives and Dol Lars. Tactical air strikes and further Gulf police actions May be the Best alternatives militarily. Do not Deal with terrorists. Do not recognize them As a legitimate body capable of negotiation. This Only makes terrorism More effective. Trade offs of hos tages puts the terrorists above International Law. Develop hard line punishment to let terrorists know that they will be dealt with in an unforgiving manner. In summary the United states should not initiate an escalation but stand firm and refuse to allow the iranian regime be it through terrorism or military aggression to overstep the boundaries of inter nation anal. Spec. 4 Greg Bilbruck spec. 4 Richard Melnick Kirch Goens Germany baby left alone in car upsets Parent i am still in a state of disbelief Over an incident that occurred this afternoon at the parking lot of the Martin Luther King Village shopping Complex. Today was a cold and dreary Day maybe i should have stayed Home with my infant daughter for what i saw truly disturbs me. We arrived at Mlkvy around 1 30 . As we proceeded to the shopping area i noticed a Little baby boy of about two years of age strapped in his scat unattended. The car doors were locked and All the windows were left unopened. My first thoughts were that his parents were near by since the car had been parked toward the Entrance of the parking lot away from traffic. But then i realized that aside from a few cab Drivers waiting for fares there was no one around. I m furious at the person or persons responsible for leaving this child unsupervised in a parked car the Little boy looked so helpless my heart ached i Only wish that the military police had been there for me to have reported this incident but being such a cold Day and with my infant daughter to consider my Only alternative was to ask a cabdriver to please look Afler this child until his guardians returned. To the guardians of this Little boy. He looked so terribly bewildered As i looked in on him. How cruel could you be leaving such a Little fellow alone like that maybe he was asleep when you pulled into the parking lot and you did not want to awaken him. But apparently you did not think further he did awaken prior to your return. I wonder what his thoughts and feelings were upon Awakening Only to find himself All alone. But More important do you realize the jeopardy you placed your child in with the Media warning parents to be More watchful of their children because of kidnapping events How could you risk the possibility of your child becoming a victim remember it takes Only seconds to abduct a child.
