European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - July 24, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Arm Landers dear Ann Landers thank you for saving my life. Last year May 6 was a sunday. Sundays Are Busy for me but thank god i Wasny to too Busy to read your column. On that Day you published the warning signs of cancer. One of the seven signs was hoarseness. I had quit smoking Only a week before and my Throat still bothered me. I went to our family doctor on tuesday. He immediately sent me to a Throat specialist. Four Days later i had a malignant tumor removed from my Larynx. After 35 radiation treatments i was declared a a cured and in excellent health i am alive today because i read your column. No Way would i have connected hoarseness with cancer if it Hadnot been for you. Please publish the seven danger signals again. There must be others who need to be alerted. May god bless you for the wonderful work you do. I Send my sincere thanks and my love. B.f., Midway City Calif. Dear . It was generous of you to want to help others As you have been helped. Here again Are the seven warning signals that could mean cancer 1. A change in Bowel habits. 2. A sore that does not heal. 3. Unusual bleeding or discharge. O 4. A thickening or Lump in the breast or elsewhere. Men should Check Testicles every month 5. Persistent indigestion or difficulty in swallowing. 6. An obvious change in a wart or mole. 7. A nagging cough or hoarseness. Wednesday july 24, 1991 dear Ann Landers that doctor from Rancho Palos Verdes Calif., sounds like a Jerk when he says most women will marry any male who is legally alive but i must admit he has a Point. The women i know who make it to 28 unmarried do seem to be terrified of facing life single. Its sad that so Many females Are not secure enough to be Happy alone. Unfortunately they Are obsessed with storybook fantasies of their wedding Day and give no thought to what a lifetime commitment Means. The fact is that we do have choices. Could our mothers have bought Homes by themselves As recently As the 1960s? could they have had careers after having children would they have married at 21 had there been no social stigma attached to waiting until 28 or 30? the divorce rate skyrocketed in the 70s because they had the courage to escape from Lousy marriages. Marriage is still a Beautiful thing but now women have the Opportunity to make that Choice later in life when they have a clearer notion of who they Are and where they want to be. I wish my female friends would relax. Most of them will marry someday. I just done to happen to think it should be the main reason for getting up in the morning. Sue from Portland Ore. Dear sue i think that the social pressure to marry is not As intense today As it was years ago a and that a Good. But the divorce rate tells us that perhaps the selection process still leaves something to be desired a and that a bad. C creators Syndicate the stars and Stripe today s crossword dear Abby dear Abby when is it proper to play cupid my Best Friend a Marsha a most her husband a few months ago. He had a massive heart attack with no warning whatsoever. He was healthy and athletic. A few years ago Marsha and my Cousin a a March met at my daughters christening. It was obvious that there was a Strong Mutual attraction Between them but they were both seeing other people at the time so nothing came of it and they both eventually married other people. 1 just Learned that Marc and his wife have split. Being a matchmaker is not something i do regularly but i just know that Marsha and Marc would make a great team. Frustrated cupid dear frustrated Idle your motor a you May be too late already. Do not mention Marcus availability to Marsha until you feel that Marsha is ready for another Romance. And done to assume that Marc is waiting around for another involvement. When Marsha is ready Contact Marc and ask him a a what a new a and a Are you a involved a if nothing is new and Marc is not involved Tell him about marshals availability a and let him take it from there. Dear Abby i am a 24-year-old future Bride with a Small problem. My Mother and father were divorced when i was 10, and my Mother married a a Lens a year later. Len has been a wonderful Stepfather whom i love dearly. My biological father and i had problems during my adolescent years. We did no to speak to each other for four years my Stepfather Len was a far More Loving father to me a in fact he was the one who got me together again with my biological father. Now i am going to be married. I read in a bridal Magazine that where there Are a biological father and Stepfather involved the brides biological father is supposed to walk her Down the aisle and give her away in marriage and the Stepfather has the privilege of dancing the first dance with the Bride. Is this the proper arrangement i done to want to Hurt anyone a feelings but i have always had a much better relationship with my Stepfather. Happy but confused dear Happy there Are no hard and fast a a rules when it comes to weddings. If you re having problems deciding which Man should walk you Down the aisle Why not give both of them the Honor it has been done a and with great Success. Also consider walking Down the aisle alone. Its the Choice of Many brides and makes an impressive sight. C Universal press Syndicate across 1 they Loop the Loop 4 Flower month in Paris 7 slender 8 endured 10 Texas landmark 11 pointing 13 .
