This journalist has made remarkable discovery. She writes that most americans on the Campus As Well As Many others she has met while travelling in the unite states have very Little knowledge of Canada and no curiosity to learn. Other foreign students at her Camp shave experienced the same ignorance and Lack of inter est in their countries. Since we Are next door neighbors i find this disturb ing. Canada is the second largest country in the world with a population one tenth that of the United Are the United states largest trading partner. We too have Large cities universities state of the arts ports facilities symphony orchestras opera and Ballet. Our transcontinental Highway links our 10 provinces when the Toronto Blue jays won the world series Iwonder How Many americans looked up Toronto on the map and were surprised to see How much . Territory is North of us. My Hope is that american and Canadian children and Young people All Over Are being taught How much we have in common. For it is those similarities rather than our differences that promote peace. A longtime Reader in Edmonton Alberta . Thank you for a letter that i Hope will shake up a few thousand . Teachers.

C creators Syndicate errands dont satisfy non driving widow dear Abby i am writing to you at a very lonely and vulnerable time of my life. I have been widowed for almost a year. I know there Are a legion of us widows and Many ofus do not drive. Consequently we have to rely on friends and relatives to drive unto various errands that have to be tended to. On most of these occasions when we ask for assistance undoing these various tasks they usually agree and do so if the have no prior commitment. But not once do they Ever extend a invitation to go for a Nice Sun Day drive or even on a weekend trip although they boast of doing these things with other friends or even by themselves. I think this is so inconsiderate and selfish. What do you think Don t advise me to learn to drive since my Hus band s death i have sold the car and have no intention of purchasing another one. Living on a limited income now does not allow me this luxury. I am not broke but dear Abby neither am i rolling in Money. Michigan widow dear widow i think you have the wrong attitude. These Drivers owe you nothing. You Are fortunate to have friends and relatives who Are willing to take you to run errands. But do you Ever reciprocate by buying them a tank of Gas slipping them a few dollars for their trouble or buying an occasional lunch Many Drivers feel used by no Drivers. It is very expensive to maintain a car and not always easy to drop everything to take someone around. You apparently have no understanding of these demands. You would be Wise to think about How you can be More Independent. Consider hiring a High school Stu Dent with a car to run errands for you. Or take a taxi or the bus. If you Don t want to be a Burden to others think More about How you can help yourself become More Active with your life. Letters Tor this column should be addressed to dear Abby at .
