European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - April 14, 1992, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 20 a the stars and stripes tuesday april 14,1902 Arm Landers Ann Landers our 17-year-old daughter told us she was spending the night of the Valentine Ball at her girlfriends House but we Learned she and two girlfriends spent the night with three boys at a Motel. I have read that producers of prime time television have chosen to portray their teen age role models As having sex when they turn 18. One show featured a High school girl losing her virginity on prom night. No wonder one of my daughters friends said Quot what do you think prom night is for anyway a in a tired of television being a co conspirator in lowering the code of ethics in this country. When my kids were Little i did no to like the violence on cartoons so i made sure they had More worthwhile things to do on saturday mornings. The Only suggestion in be Ever seen for influencing to programming is to write to the shows sponsors. Is there any Way to get a list of offending shows and their sponsors so parents who care can make their feelings known fighting mad in Iowa dear Iowa action for children a television and the National coalition against to violence used to have such a list but it no longer exists. The suggestion you mention i today s crossword dear Abby dear Abby the son of our former neighbors died recently. Ill Call him there was no funeral service no memorial service and no obituary in the local newspaper. My heart aches for Johns parents. I did no to Send a sympathy card or even make a Telephone Call because i was confused As to the a a rights thing to do. Let me explain John was found guilty of murder and he was executed by the state. I never knew him As an adult but i remember him As a Little boy who came to our House to play with our children. He was a lovable child who Sang songs with our daughter and made her laugh. John s parents were decent churchgoing people and no one could have asked for better neighbors. What happened later in Johns life we do not know. But i do know that his parents must have died a thousand deaths before their son was put to death. And so to Alt parents who have lost a child in this tragic Way and to All their friends a like me a who said nothing because we did no to know what to say i d like to Tell you now Quot in a old neighbor dear neighbor you Are a kind and compassionate person.

Dear Ann Landers recently we went to our granddaughters wedding. After the dinner the guests took turns dancing with the Bride and Groom. While they danced each guest slipped Money into the grooms coat pocket or shoved some Bills Down the front of the brides dress. My husband and i watched with astonishment but we said nothing. I Hadnot thought much More about this vulgar spectacle until i saw one of those reality based courtroom to shows. A pair of newlyweds sued a caterer for ruining their reception by removing the food too soon which caused the guests to leave prematurely. The couple filed the suit because the Early departure of the guests they said deprived them of some serious loot. The newlyweds on television attempted to justify their disappointment by bemoaning the loss of a does a Mountain of Beautiful gifts no longer suffice or am i really out of it in Little Rock dear Little Rock there Are a variety of ethnic customs involving collecting Money at weddings. It has to do with tradition not greed. If the guests want to do this i see no reason to object. Cd Crealor Syndicate dear Abby i thought id seen everything in your column but this problem is unique. In a a 48-year-old Man with a 22-year-old son whom i raised As a single Parent.
