T have since Learned that he borrowed several thou Sand dollars from a Friend. Apparently he was ashamed that he could not pay the Money Back so he just took off intending perhaps to kill himself.

Dear Ann Landers when Soldier of Fortune Magazine lost the lawsuit that forced them to pay for the death of a woman whose husband found a hired killer through their classified ads the publisher said that verdict will have tremendous ramifications on the publishing Industry. From now on every publisher will have to look at Everead he Well 1 would Hope so i work for a newspaper whose employees arc instructed to Check every and taken by the classified department before it is accepted. We Are expected to be Alert to scams especially those that originate in Stales with permissive advertising taws. Child care providers and rest Homes must have licenses and we must verify those licenses with the county. Vitamins and diet foods cannot be advertise Din our paper unless they have Fra approval. Businesses thai hire models or actors must be licensed. Ditto anyone advertising a service such As massages Palm Reading Etc. If an and sounds suspicious and the manager is unable to prove that the company is legitimate we refuse to accept it. Our newspaper cares enough about its customers to try to protect them from charlatans and Crooks. If More publishers were like ours perhaps that woman would be alive today. No name no town dear Friend sorry you would t permit me to share the name of your paper. It deserves to be applauded publicly. Too bad More newspapers and magazines Don t have your High standards la read Adi that knocked my socks on 1 one subscribers to complain when they see such sleaze.

Forces Reader upset by violence against child i have just read another account of what appears to be a rash of such incidents Over the last year a chill dying at the hands of a military Parent 1 Don t know if this letter will help another child but i must express my deep sorrow in some manner and attempt some thing anything. I was truly sickened and revolted at the mental Pic Ture of an adult striking a Small child frequently severely enough to injure or kill the child. Imagine the child position 35 pounds is. 185 pounds at tacked by a supposed Loving protecting Parent. The thought of such a trauma is horrifying. I cannot accept striking another human being for reasons other than self Protection or defense of loved ones. Please if you must punish your child As we All must do from Lime to time remember that physical violence does not teach right or wrong respect or love. It teaches fear of the supposed protector the Parent. Chil Dren look to their parents for everything. You arc the enter of their existence their Rock in the Stream of life. They look to you to set examples protect Praise approve and love them not Hurt them. Owl never act in anger. Count to 10. relieves tension stress enable rational thought. Consider the act warranting punish ment. Children constantly have accidents due to immature muscle co ordination. Spilled his drink so what won t be quiet keep still hey everything sinew curiosity is a sign of an inquisitive mind. Don t get angry because a child is a Cine a child consider your own slate of mind Calm rational adult. Consider appropriate punishment children Are basically intelligent they learn from their Environ ment. They can accept rational explanations. A re proach and a reason Why is generally enough to Leach a child a lesson. Try taking away a privilege no dessert no favorite program. Don t think that a child is Loo Young to understand and that you must accompany an admonishment with a swat to insure they gel the Mes Sage. In any Case what could a child do that could Possi Bly warrant a beating there is always an alternative to physical violence. There has to be. I Hope any person who knows someone that has been found guilty of child abuse was caught completely by Surprise. To suspect child abuse and not report it i tantamount to approval of child abuse. If you knew an adult s life was threatened would you not report it Why docs society feel beating of an adult is criminal but accept the striking even the occasional beating of a child As Normal Doan adult who strikes his her Chili exerts More restraint in the privacy of i if you Are aware of or suspect child abuse report it anonymously if you must to the proper authorities. Don t worry about butting in someone has to speak up Tor the children. The children wont they still love their antagonist. You could Stop a tragic news Story. You could save a life. Clyde r.

Me in you really think that d in anger in Public Krivac of his her Home yes the peace corps is alive and Well my Siller who is a civilian working at Torrejon air base Spain recently came to visit me in Sierra Leone West Africa. I was fascinated to hear her Tell me about the base and military life overseas t also was interested to War How military people react when they hear thai he sister is working overseas for the . Government in a very different Way serving in the peace corps. She told me thai most people reacted with Surprise they did t realize that the peace corps Stilt existed. Yes we still exist. Let me Lell you a Little about my life and what the peace corps is All about. All of our posts Are hardship the Type of jobs we do depends on the country we re in and the programs they have. In my Case i m an agricultural Extension agent. Means i live tar in the Rural areas the Only foreigner in a Village of about 500 peo ple. I work with the local Farmers on individual or family basis to Leach improved Rice growing practices. I a encouraging people to grow Rice in their swamp areas. Demonstration is a valuable learning tool and i have my own swamp where i grow Rice during the Rainy season i do Ali of the work by hand with Only a Cutlass and a Hoe. Since agricultural work is seasonal 1 have no typical at limes i work All Day every Day for weeks on end to get a Field ready in time to transplant Rice seedlings. Other limes i read novels write letters and sweat the Days ii appears there is All of the Drudgery and inconvenience of a hardship Post with none of the Bui that is not really so bad As it May seem. There is a great Deal More to my Job than just teach ing farming work. It is showing that an educated Rich person from a place like the United Stales does t disdain farm work or Village life but actually chooses to come and live that Way. It is learning to recognize that Many things we Lake for granted the cold Beer at the Enil of the Day the washing machine that cleans the clothes for you the ease of communicating where a postal system that works is in place Are luxuries Noi necessities. I la never be Able to live in America again without feeling a certain wonder at the Standard of living we have been Able to achieve. Both countries however have their advantage Sand disadvantages. What the people i m living with Lack in material luxuries they make up for in other ways. They have their families the celebrations their traditions. They Are real people with strength incredible strength and dignity with names and positions not just a faceless mass of wretched humanity for one to learn this and pass it on is How the peace keeping role of my organization really works yes the peace corps still exists.
