DEAR ANN' LANDERS:. I
am a boy who delivers
newspapers to make extra
money. There are thousands °
more like me. I get up at 3:30 in
the morning. It doesn't Matter if
It's raining or. sleeting ' or
blowing, I'M on the job: I never
miss because I know .people
depend on me. Like all other
delivery boys, I have to pay. for
my papers and trust people to
pay me. I collect at night, on my
own time. You wouldn't believe
.the things people do to get out
of paying for their papers. They
hide behind the curtains and
refuse to come to the 'door.,
Sometimes "they just.,, say, "I
haven't got the money. Come
back Priday.'V.,
Yesterday I got sick and.tired
of not getting paid by a certain
lady so I left a note saying, "I
am not going to bring you a
paper anymore because you are
too hard to collect from. There
wasn't much news in the paper
today, 'only/ a story that Ann
sLanders was kidnapped and
hi -jacked to Cuba. Good -by and
good luck."
That , afternoon I received a
message at the paper saying the
lady wanted me- to bring her
paper right away and She would
pay me what she owed. •
I just thought you ,might like
to know how powerful you are.

Was the mother an 'unwed? Were
you able to find out if there is
Reg is only 14 months old, but when this baby wants
'something he says a polite please. This habit is so endearing
no one can refuse him anything, .and his foster » mother
thinks Reg may be a bit spoiled.
French-Cariadian, Scottish and Barbadian in descent,
Reg is a handsome,.sturdy boy with blue -grey eyes, dark -
brown wavy hair and light -tan skin. You can tell from his
expression that he is a most happy fellow. He loves children
and welcomes attention from adults, though if he doesn't
know thetn he looks them over carefully before deciding to

ment cf Social and Family Services, Parliament Buildings,

- 'DEAR ANN , LANDERS:
Here is good news for snorers
and people,mho must sleep with
them. Please print this letter.
You might,,,save a couple dozen
inarriages.
I have been a heavy snorer all
my life: When i was a kid my
brother used to take his blanket
and pillow and go sleep on the
porch just to get away from me.
cc:died
When I Married I ran into-aeal -
trouble. After six months Of UP
SIQV, my Wife MOme she was
buying a cot and inovingint0
the living room.
I took your actviee and went
to a doctor to find out if I had a
nasal obstruction. The octor
examined me and said , rev/a&
no obstruction.' He suggested
that perhaps I snored because I
had fallen into the. habit of
sleeping with my mouth open.
He advised me to tape iny,
mouth shut with adhesive for
five nights and then, try sleeping
without the tape. ,
Ann it worked! My wife is as
happy as a clam and so am I.,
Why don't you try
it? -PROVIDENCE, R -.I.
•
DEAR PROV: I don't have to
try it. I don't snore. But I'm glad,
it worked for you.

Have you been to a morato-
rium lately? Have you taken
part in a demonstration; or a
confrontation? Do you have
charisma?
Sorry to be s' o perional, bbt
I read and hear these words
bandied about so 'much these
-days that 1 just_wondered how
things were at your place.
They are 'part of the jargon
of Our 'times. Isn't it amazing
how the English language can
take such a beating' and
emerge greater and finer than
ever?
Prime Minister 'Trudeau has
charisma, according to the pap-
ers. At first I thought it .was
semething like aene, or maybe
a bowel problem. It turned out
to mean» something like style, -
flair, elan, magnetism. But the
new breed of newspaperman
will never use an old tested
word if he can come up with
something as charismatic » as
charisma.
"There's no such thing as a
meeting any more, with two
parties holding opposing ideas
getting » together and trying to
resolve them. Now it's a con-
frontation. Like two bulls Meet-
ing in a pasture and knocking
their Skulls together, while the
cows look on, chewing their
cuds.
A demonstration used to be
an exposition, explaining some-
thing, probably with sensory
aids. YOU might show, or dem-
onstrate,. for example„ how to

in a moratorium? Some PeOPle
act as though they would enJOY
thordughly,
I have before me a letter
from an editor referring to the
"upcoming issue" Of a maga,-
,
zine. What does » that mean?
Wbat» *she Means is .forthcom-
-ing, Pr next. I wonder what the,
"dowricoming" issue would be
like.
Each decade seems to have
itS new slang, Idioms, catch
words. A few of' them stay in
the language, like rough dia-
monds in a sea of silver,
through their,sheer pCiWer.
We don't shed too many
tears over such Sayings as: "I
love my .wife, but oh you kid,"
from the '90s. Nor do we
grow lugubrious over the ,dis-
appearance of such inanities
frem the '50s and '60s as:'
"That'll be the frosty Friday."'
Or: '"You better believe it."
Or:-"yVould you b,elieve . . . ?"
HoW about "cool" and "man"
and "way out" and "groovy?"
Do you think some bird or
chick will he saying in 1984:
"Hey, man, that's cool. Let's
kroove. You're way out.?"
Somehow I doubt it.
»Hippie" is already a term
-
of opprobrium to the real hip-
py. "Swinger" is now used only
by middle-aged people who
would like to be. "Cat," as in'
"cool cat," is hanging on by
the skin of its teeth. -
.And then we have "jet set"
and "beautiful people." I .was
aLazprxssmclub....,party se.cently.
and it was rather aad.All
these chaps, with their new
sideburns and matching shirts
and ties, and striped pants,
hoping they. were ...beautiful
.people, when they Simla have
been home watering the lavm.
But most of all, Perhaps, I.
despair of the people who sim-
ply surround thexnselyes, With
a cloud of verbal garbage e.Y-
ery time they •,open their.
mouths.
Young people are worst, but'
you can see and hear universi-
ty professors, politicians' and
lawyers hedging , themselves
about with such inane things
as: "Well, -like, you know, uh;
it's pretty obvious, you know,
like, there's no denying, uh,
you know, etc."
Why,, don't they just say, "I
think it's a lot of crap," or
something equally plain? Or
would that not be a viable
approach?
REMEMBER
HELP YOUR RED CROSS
-10 HELP
But today, a demonstration
is against something, not for it.
All you need is a placard, a
. crowd, and you are demon-
strating. It doesn't make lin-
guistic (there's another one)
sense. If you are protesting
something, be a protester, not
a demonstiater..
A moratorium sounds likej.
cross between a crematorium
and a mausoleum. At any rate,
it sounds pretty deadly, and
usually is. How would you like
to, spend the rest of your life
