Dear Ant Landers: I am get- ting sick and tired of the way you hem and haw when people ask you what to do about neigh- bors or relatives who beat their children. The 9-year-old girl with the black eyes was the last victim you failed to help. Why on earth didn't you tell the neighbors to call the police and have the parents arrested —or do you feel that a snappy reply is more important than good advice? Get on the ball, Annie, old girl, or hand over your column to someone who will come straight to the point and not be so wishy-washy.—NO FAN OF YOURS. Dear No Fan: I have been ac- cused of many things, but this is the first time a ready has ever called me wishy-washy. Look, Bub, I am heartily in favor of calling the police on child beaters but you'll be shocked if you knew how many people refuse to sign a com- plaint because they don't want to get into trouble — and they say so in their letters. Unless the police arrive in time to witness the brutality, they can do nothing. For this reason I suggested that the neighbors alert the 9-year-old girl's teach- er and ask her to watch for welts and bruises. Teachers have more courage when it comes to reporting such matters to auth- orities. Got it straight now? . Dear Ann Landers: I would like to answer the mother who threatened to cancel her sub- scription to the newspaper if you didn't stop printing letters about V.D., unwed mothers and sex outside of marriage. She said she had two young daugh- ters who would soon be teen- agers and she had to hide some of your "trashy" columns from them. The woman signed her- self "Against Dirt." My mother was also "Against Dirt." My father left her when was two years old. She hated *len and was thoroughly convin- ced that there wasn't one decent male in the whole world. I grew up lonely and insecure and frightened. When I was 12 our newspaper began to publish your column. Believe it or not, Ann Landers, every decent idea I ever learned about sex came from you. I learned what NOT to do from the letters and an- swers you printed, I also learn- ed how to answer boys when they got fresh. I actually memor- ized some of your sentences and they helped me out of many a spot. I am working my way through college now and I still read your column every day and learn from it. I never fully real- ized what you did for me until "Against Dirt" opened her mouth, Thanks a million.—FOR- EVER GRATEFUL. Dear Forever: Even WITH an understanding mother, teen years can be very difficult. A mother who thinks everything is sinful and dirty can be a permanently crippling influence. I'm happy I helped you. Ser- vice is the rent we pay for our place on earth. Dear Ann` I was delighted to see the letter from the wo- man who felt insulted because Ann Landers her sistenin-law invited her to a shower for a dog. I've been do- ing a slow burn ever since my cousin invited me to a birthday party for her cat. I went because mother said I should, but when they brought out a three-layer cake with candles and asked everyone to sing "Happy Birthday, Dear Chessie" I left. Thanks for let- ting me know I am not alone. —HUMANS FIRST. Dear First: You are NOT alone, but there are more of "them" than "us." You otpghta see my maillin * * * Is alcoholism a disease?

Local groups are sponsoring their own craft shows and sales to encourage locally made handcrafts.
