Dear Abby...

By Abigail Van Buren

Wants to Turn: in
‘Defective’ Twin

DEAR ABBY: My 24-year-old daughter has made a
decision that is breaking my heart. I honestly wonder il
- she’s in her yight mind. *

At 16 she married because she was pregnant, and now:
she haa seven children. The last two are identical twin girls.
_born only five days ago. She and her husband have dacfded
to keep one of the twins, and give the other up for

adoption. Abby, can you believe this? Their reason is.so -

terrible, that I’m. almost ashamed to tell you. .
One of the twins-was born with a club foot and a cleft
palate. The other twin is perfect, Both“are beautiful and’
btherwise healthy. They want to keep the perfect one and
give the other one away. The thought of separating those
twin babies makes me aick.
I've tried to tell my daughter that the club foot and cleft
palate can be corrected with surgery, but she says that six

children are all they can afford.

I offered to take the defective baby, but’ she says it
would create problems to have her. in the-family. She’s
already contacted an adoption ‘agency, and a childless
couple is waiting to adopt the twin.

Can you u help me? Please hurry.

HEARTSICK GRANNY

DEAR GRANNY: Urge your daughter to see a
psychiatrist. She could be disturbed, or suffering from a
temporary depression from which she would recover.
Should she go through with the adoption it will not be final
for a year, Perhaps she'll regain her senses by that time,
but if so, whaé a crue) ordeal for the adoptive parents!

DEAR ABBY: My sister has developed an allergy to
doing dishes. The minute she starts doing the-dishes, she -
sneezes. It’s not just one sneeze, but a long atring of them. ‘-

Mama says she can't help it, so.I have do the dishes
alone..What should I do? I think my sister i is just trying to

get out of doing | the dishes. .
DISHWASHER

DEAR DISH: Your sister could be allergic to the soap
powder or liquid detergent re use for dishwashing. A
doctor could determine this. If that’s the cage, it'a time for

a change. ‘(What 2 spot for » commercialf} ©

DEAR. ABBY: This letter is in response to , HATES
HUNTING. ¥f he doesn't want to-go hunting, he doesn’t

have to, but is he ‘willing to help foot the. bill to save: °

_ wildlife? Hunters contribute about $280 million annually to
preserve wildlife. “{Also, sport . hunting” hes never
endangered a species.)

Sadly, there are slob hunters who drink while hunting,
and “shoot eyenything that moves. “ Fortunately, they are
a amall minority, which is growing smaller because in
many states there are mandatory safety courses - for
hunters under age 18 or 24,

. As for hunters killing others (on themgelvea) by mistake,
in 1976 there were nearly 100,000 dear hunters in New
. Mexico, but only six hunting accidents involving gune! (No
fatalities}

Hunters appreciate wildlife more than any other group. .

Please be fair, Abby, and give us hunters equal INNA.

DEAR L.L.: In the interest of fairness, I'll give hunters
equal time. But I still feel that un¢i! hunted animals « can
shoot back, they don't have an. sequal chance.

‘DEAR ABBY: I witnessed an incident at “the beach last
Sunday that ruined my day. A young mother was trying to
teach her daughter, who appeared to be about three, to

_ swim. She held the child’s head under the water and
elled, “If you don't learn to enjoy the water, youll never
earn to swim!” —

~ Meanwhile the poor child was hysterical ag she clung to
her mother for dear life, crying and begging her to stop. ‘
The mother tore the child's little hands loose, and pushed
her head under the water time and time again, insisting

', ghe had to learn to “like” the water. The child came up

repeatedly, gasping, choking and pleading, but the mother
showed her no mercy. —-
I wanted to say something to the mother, but I was
afraid she'd tell me to mind my own business. Later I
’ heard her tell her friend that a swimming teacher had told
her that this was the only way to teach a child how. to
awim., oo
[had a similar experience when Iwas young. I'm now 32,
LT neyer learned to swim, and ['m still afraid of water.

CONCERNED INGA,

. DEAR CONCERNED: Whether or not the mother knew -
it, she was abusing that child, and child abuse Is
everybody's business. You should have told that mother —
what you told me. .

Everyone has a problem. What's yours? For a ronal
reply, write to ABBY: Box No. 69760, L.A., Calif, 90088, _
Enclose stamped, self-addressed envelope please.
