lOea*. Losing one’s parents eclipses her problem By Abigail Van Buren S im By CDiciw Tnbune-N. Y. News Synd., Irc. DEAR ABBY: About a month ago we had a flash flood, and I lost nearly all the treasures I had saved for 45 years. Albums filled with pictures and snapshots, letters, clippings —none of which can be replaced. I had them stored in plastic containers, and when I opened them, all I found was mud and water! It seems that a part of my life is gone, and I am heartsick over it. I am 60 and have had a very happy life. Our children are married and gone, and there are just the two of us. I’ve tried to keep busy and not dwell on my loss, but it is on my mind constantly. I wish I could forget this terrible nightmare. Somehow I feel that you can help me. Abby, have you ever lost any of your treasures? And if you have, how did you get over it? DEPRESSED IN HOUSTON DEAR DEPRESSED: Yes, Dear. I lost my beautiful mother in 1945. [She was only 57.) And a few years later, I lost a wonderful father. [He was 62.] And not a day passes but what I don’t thank God for letting me have my parents for as long as I did. I know many who were not nearly as blessed as I, and I think of those who have survived a far greater tragedy—losing their children. Now, what were you saying about clippings and pictures and other “treasures”? DEAR ABBY: Out of the blue, my wife told me she had just terminated a love affair with a friend of ours, but she wouldn’t tell me his name. I now feel very awkward around all our friends, and I’ve asked my wife to tell me which one it was so I will quit having negative feelings about all of them. She claims it is all over now so his name is unimportant. How can I get her to name the man? I do not want to end our marriage EENY MEENY MINEY MO DEAR MO: Tell your wife you think she invented the whole story to make you jealous, and unless she tells you his name, you aren’t buying her “confession.” DEAR ABBY: I have had several heated arguments with my wife over the following problem: When I die, I want to be buried as soon as possible. I do not want a funeral, with flowers, prayers, a priest, and a bunch of long-lost relatives and friends kneeling beside my made-up corpse. I believe all that nonsense only prolongs the agony of immediate family and close friends. My wife says she will not allow my wish to be carried out. Can I take legal action now to assure me that my wishes will be carried out? NOT A FANCY MAN DEAR NOT: Morally, it would seem only right that you should have your say about what happens to your body after your demise. But legally, your remains may become the “property" of the next of kin. If I were you. I’d talk to my lawyer. DEAR ABBY: My husband and I had an argument about something and hope you can settle it. Does Lawrence Welk's champagne lady have false teeth? Or are they her own? CURIOUS IN LANCASTER DEAR CURIOUS: They’re hers. [I got it straight from the horse's mouth.) Problems? You’ll feel better if you get it off your chest. For a personal reply, write to ABBY: Box No. 69700, L.A., Calif. 90069. Enclose stamped, Self-addressed envelope, please.

Dear Editor: I must say that 1 really feel sorry for those poor misled persons that believe hunting is cruel and inhuman. When they rebel against hunting, thev feel that they are showing their love for animals of nature. I think about their “love” when 1 find a starved fawn who has been pushed out of the picture bv one of those lovable big

bucks.

The statement was made in a previous letter that the deer should have guns, and mavbe thev should. I don’t care if vou eat fish on Fridavs. cut up frogs in biologv class or wear your mink coat with utmost pride. All of these products were once breathing warm bodies, like deer and did they have guns? Think about it when vou buy a hamburger. You are paving someone else to do your killing. Just compare the survival chance of a fenced-in cow and a free In Memoriam In memory of Wayne Nelson, who left his home on earth three years ago. December 23,1970. “Daddy” what a big beautiful word that is. In the eyes of a baby it’s security and strength. In the eyes of a child it’s companionship. To the eyes of an adult he’s a shoulder, our rock. He’s a friend above all, who likes us for what we are, not w hat he would have liked us to be. Time runs out too soon sometimes. We haven't said all we want to say. We kissed him, told him we loved him; we just never got around to say “Thank you” Thank you for being our “Dad.” Daddy the years have added to three Since God came and took you with Him, Sometimes it seems this can’t possibly be And yet, sometimes it seems like ten. We miss you so, and think each day Of all the wonderful things you would say. You could make us happy or make us cry. We depended so much on the look in your eye. God shared you with us for part of our lives.

running deer. To those of vou who are sentimental “lovers of Nature.” and don’t hunt, how much money did vou pay this past year for conservation? Probably not a pennv. Hunters pav their share and yours through hunting fees, licenses, guns and ammo. These sentimental feelings were probably made up at a desk while sitting on a goose down cushion and eating a big, juicy steak. The argument might arise that if hunters didn’t kill predators, then the predators could control the game animal population. It’s a gory explanation of how, say, a wolf feasts on venison. The deer is half eaten before he dies! Besides, if I were a hungry scavenger, the slow moving fenced-in cow would be a more easily prepared meal. I love nature too in my own way. And I mean it!
