DEAR ANN LANDERS: As a
former postal clerk whe used to
work in-the air mail section, I
resent .belng called an idiot,
because I don’! happen to know.
where certain places are. Most
postal clerks do not have.
complete listings of all the
citles in foreign nations. «

As one of those “idiots” I'll
bet I saw more “idiocy’’ in a
single day than the cornplainer
saw ina whole year. Example:
A dirty. envelope addressed to
‘The Poor Children of India’’,
containing a moldy piece of rye.
bread. Another letter addressed
to "Mr. and Mrs. John Jones,
First farm house past the hump
in {he road.” Another letter to
“Good Looking Doctor, Tall
With White Hair.”’ . a

1 can’t tell you-how many ~
envelopes came through, torn to
pieces, containing car keys, -
ccaridy, cookies, flower seeds,
marijuana and: Birth. :contral
devices; You wouldn't believe ©
what people try to send in the
mail, . ~ ; _

So, dan't let anyone tell you
that postal. clerks are . more
idiotic than Me. and Mrs. John -
Q. Public. It’s not true. ~ Chief
Observer Cea

DEAR CHIEF: Hail to you for

DEAR ANN LANDERS: My
brother, age 21, was murdered
three. months ago. It is very
hard to accept death, especially
when it happens toa young and

beautiful: person. But if death
comesas the result of an Ulness —
or an accident, one can say to
himself, “It:was God’s will, He:
_ had’ a, reason.” “But. death by
murder?:;How.:can a person -
accept. sucha. horrible: thing?
~T-Rriow:1-am not alone. This
sort’ of tragedy has occurred in
many’ olher ‘families. Every .
time you pick up a newspaper
you. read: of a. murder
someplace. But until it happens
to‘one of your own, you:can’t -
imagine whal.it means...

DEAR FRIEND: There. are’
many questions for which there
are no..answers,. only’. more
questions, such as “Why him?
Why would a good God allaw
, such a “thing ta happen?” The
i list is long and I'm. sure you.
know the questions better than,

You must accept death when -
it’ comes. to a loved one, no”
mailer how. Why? Because you
have no‘ ‘choice; You must _
believe that God in. His infinite

‘+wisdom-had:a reason — not”
kiown: (o-you-now, but it is
there? 92)

Your brother would be very
unhappy if:he knew how tor-
lured you are. For his sake: you
must gel” over: jour grief. 1
suggest” therapy for a few-
months. Good: talking sessions

on a regular basis can be im-
mensely. helpful. Please go.

DEAR “ANN. -LANDERS: I
gotcha: this’.time, “I've been
walting for you to give. some
‘wrong advice nd you did it. I
refer. to your: counsel to ‘the

. secretary who had to buy a
|” birthday gift: in a hurry. She
stopped in a drugstore and
purchased -a bottle of bubble
bath. They didn't gift-wrap, and
the sack looked awful so she
threw it away and brought the
bottle “naked".. ©

-¥ou said it was a pretty tacky
way to:present a gift but it was
no..crime.Thén' you added,
“Had “you gone to the party

DEAR FRIEND: The impact.
of any given letter is, of courze,

“an unknown quantity, but Iocan

tell you for certain that ‘your
letter. prevented at least one
suicide someplace in the world‘
today: Thank you for writing it.,

DEAR ANN: The woman wha
signed her ‘letter ‘‘Seventh
Heaven," should have signed it
“Seventh Hell’’.

Her husband couldn’t get her
pregnant, so they decided to ask
her father-in-law to ‘help’.
“Seventh” .advised other

- childless couples to do the same

since the offspring would carry
the family genes and the baby -
would look like a relative.
‘That woman must be bonkers.
Doesn't she realize the identity
problems involved?

_ To the mother, the ‘child
would be a brother-in-law (Cher
husband's brother), a son, anda
grandson. To the woman's
husband, the child would be a
stepson and a brother. To the
falher-in-law, the child would be
ason and a grandson. He would
also be his own cousin.

If that mother has more
children with her father-in-law,
they would be stegsisters and
brothers, as well as cousins. ©
' Worse yat, the child would be
his own uncle. — Who's Crazy?
» DEAR WHO: Your analysis is
correct, but in my apinion, the
emotional and psychological
problems resulting from such

an arrangement could .be™~

horrendous. They.didn’t ask for
my advice, simply my “en-
‘dorsement.” 1 told them, “No-
