About 600 people in new Lenox a a northeastern dear Abby How do you feel about sending women into combat this is a subject in be never seen mentioned in your column. I am a woman who will be going through army Basic training in a few months. I think it would be foolish of me to say that i want to go into Battle after All who wants to get shot abut i think its totally unfair to exclude women from combat duty when they can handle it As Well As men. Women should be expected to do the same work As men in the military and in wartime. When arc the american people going to realize that women Are a viable source for our National defense Canadian Law has been revised and now women Are allowed to serve in All military positions a except on submarines a in the Canadian armed forces. There Are plenty of men out there who would gladly dear Abby give up their combat positions to women and plenty of women who would jump at the Chance to prove themselves in Battle. Id be interested in seeing what other readers especially men and women in the Mili an think of this. A future female Soldier dear future female Soldier my first impulse is to say a women do not belong alongside men in but on second thought perhaps a woman s place is where she wants to be. In the provocative words of columnist Ellen Goodman a perhaps when 18-year-old girls Start coming Home in wheelchairs and body bags Well begin to wonder Why we think it s acceptable for 18-year-old boys to come Home that Way readers dear Abby this letter is directed to a sick of Here a the woman who complained about a co worker who is always telling her something a for her own her skirt is too Long her hair is a too red a Etc i too have someone a my sister a who feels com Illinois Community of 3,500 a offered their 2 cents on what should be the Law of the land Wennlund said.

A pregnant women be Given stickers a set to expire shortly after their due dates a to allow them to use handicapped parking from Beverly Mcnulty of Berkley. A All state residents be required to have and use common sense from a 70-year-old constituent whom Wennlund declined to identify. A no drinking in Illinois no drugs and no kissing in cars from a second Grade class at Lincoln school. Trivia memory Reward Billy Joel says he did no to Start the fire but he certainly helped fan one under Cloquet High school freshman Kevin Shutes. Shutes correctly identified and described 116 of the 119 people places and events in Joel shit song a we did no to Light the fire a in a trivia contest sponsored by the Carlton Minn county historical society. His Reward included the $25 top prize a year s membership in the society free pizzas car washes and movie passes. Pulled to make gratuitous a a helpful remarks to improve me. It used to irritate me beyond measure until i heard my Stepson a a Liberal United congregational Church minister a preach a Sermon titled a choosing your it liberated me forever. I have shared the Gist of it with Many others whom it has also set free. The thrust is that Jesus Christ is the sole member of your audience whom you need to consider or even think about. I am not particularly religious but now i can look at someone who is a a helping me and say aloud or to myself a the she is not in my perhaps a sick of Here could merely look at her Benefactor and say a thanks but you re not in my give it a try.
