European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - February 06, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 18 a a the stars and stripes wednesday february 6. 1991 Ann Landers today a crossword dear Ann Landers i have a different Point of View than a squashed on arrival a the Man who was seated next to the fat woman on a plane. I am one of the Lucky ones. In a thin. But i can t help notice that the whole world seems to be designed for people like me. 1 done to have to worry about finding myself Locking horns a or any other part of my Anatomy a with a turnstile. Nor do i need to be concerned about the Arm of a chair putting dents in my legs. Most thin people take things for granted. They done to Stop Tol think about the obstacles they would face if they were fat. The purveyors of transportation Are so hungry for profits that they skimp wherever they can and then enlist the support of us thin people by telling us that those who take up less space Are somehow Superior. The answer is not to require a fat person to Purchase two seats on a plane. Dear Abby dear Abby you hear and read so much about preventing child abuse yet one of the most common and blatant forms of child abuse goes on daily without comment. I refer to the practice of piercing the ears of infants and Small children who have no say in the matter which is a terrible thing to do to a child. 1 have walked past shops in malls where this is being done and heard Little girls screaming. Forcing off Ildron to have a Hole punched through a tender part of their bodies is cruel and Barbaric. V a. A in be seen children not yet 3 or 4 with several earrings in each Caf with a Hole for each earring there is no doubt in my mind that a Small child experiences a trauma from his abuse at the hands of the one who is supposed to love and protect them. Americans laugh at pictures of africans with Bones in their noses but parents who inflict a similar though lesser disfigurement on their own children Are no belter. Please comment. James r. Newby Van Buren ind. Dear or. Newby i agree. I too am opposed to putting a Hole in a child sear. And yes i am aware that in some cultures it is a traditionally accepted practice. But in my View chit Dren should not be subjected to this until they Are old enough to make that decision for themselves. Anti please dear readers done to anybody bring up circumcision a l Quot a a a dear Abby a. -7 7 7a 7.>, my Boyfriend surprised me with a Diamond engagement ring for Christmas. It Wasny to cheap by any Means but i hated it. Now the problem. 1 went to the to Jet for a More humane though expensive solution. I would be willing to pay a few extra dollars to have one or two rows on planes fitted with . If they Are not occupied by fat passengers we thin ones who can fit. Anywhere could use them. Until such a plan is implemented i not Only will allow a fat person to sit next to me with the Arm bar raised but will offer to change seats should i see a fat person denied this kindness by one of my More selfish cousins. I May have to use the persons hip As an armrest and my circulation might suffer for a few hours but would be Happy to make this Small sacrifice to show support for my overweight Sisters and Brothers.

Dear Abby Seattle a letter hit the Nail on the head. A widow is treated much better than a Divorcee. She gets to keep �j-7thefriends and relatives from both sides. She gets nothing but sympathy. A Divorcee gets bad mouthed and All her so called friends drop her. One explained she thought it was i wish i had been a widow. Life insurance is preferable to Alimony and child support a which is not always collected anyway. And what about child custody Battles a dead Man leaves his children with their Mother and his widow is rid of hint for life. I was Lucky. I remarried a wonderful Man soon after my divorce. I am not bitter but i will never forget the shabby treatment i received following my divorce. 7 a. 7v 7 7 Longisland confidential to a my turn in Toronto a seize the Opportunity to be Superior.
