Dear Abby 'Prayer for Mamma' a year-round voice DEAR ABBY: I am a long-time reader but have never written before. I am enclosing a part of your column that I have kept in my Bible for years. As you can see, it is yellowed and shredded and half of it is missing. I don’t know how many hundreds of times I have read it. It gave me such a feeling of peace and comfort. It was titled, “A Prayer for Mamma.” Will you please print it again? I would love to have another copy. Thank you. DOROTHY L. DEAR DOROTHY: With pleasure: DEAR ABBY: My beloved mother passed away recently, so I called the minister and asked him for the wording of a prayer I could say for my mother, and he said, “I’m too busy and a lot of good prayer will do her now!” You see, Mamma went to church long ago, but my father never liked to go, so Mamma finally quit going. Abby, I can’t believe that heaven is open only to church members. I’ve called all the bookstores in town and they say there aren’t any prayers for the dead in any of the prayerbooks they have. I’ve heard there are places where you send a few dollars and they pray for the dead, but I don’t know their addresses. Abby, I’d be so grateful if you would print a short prayer I could say for my mother before I go to sleep. Any faith is acceptable. I can’t let you send it to my home because my father looks over the mail first and I’m sure I’d never get it. Please don’t turn down my odd request. It means the world to me. Thank you, and God bless you, Abby. Sign me . . . A PRAYER FOR MAMMA DEAR PRAYER: I found this prayer in my Union Prayer Book. It is the one Jews recite on Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) to honor the memory of a deceased mother: In Memory of a Mother I remember thee in this solemn hour, my dear mother. I remember the days when thou didst dwell on earth, and thy tender love watched over me like a guardian angel. Thou has gone from me, but the bond which unites our souls can never be severed; thine image lives within my heart. May the merciful Father reward thee for the faithfulness and kindness thou hast ever shown me; may He lift up the light of His countenance upon thee, and grant thee eternal peace! Amen. DEAR ABBY: I can’t believe it’s Mother’s Day again. With every passing year the holidays seem to come closer together. Abby, I wish you’d find space in your column to remind young married women to remember their mothers-in-law even if it’s only a card. There were so many years when I should have remembered my mother-in-law on Mother’s Day, but I never did. This year I sent her flowers to the cemetery, bitterly regretting that I had never sent her flowers while was abl< to enjoy them. I should have been more attentive to her, written her more about her grandchildren whom she loved so much. And most of all, I should have let her know how much I had grown to love her. I hope others will not commit the same sins of omission as I. Abby, please print this. Next year might be too late for some. REGRETTING IN CALIFORNIA Getting married?

United Way Of Putnam County recently benefited from a contribution from the Good Neighbor Fund of Bridgeport Brass Company. Company officials presented a check representing contributions from approximately 35 Putnam County employees of the firm who participate through a payroll deduction plan. Ralph Peterson, president of the local United Way, expressed appreciation for the generous donation, noting that the efforts of several area firms and

Pope, archbishop exchange views

ACCRA, Ghana (AP) Pope John Paul II and the new Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Runcie, held a “joyful and moving" meeting Friday in another step toward closer relations between their churches after four centuries of division. “The time is too short and the need too pressing to waste Christian energy pursuing old rivalries,” the two religious leaders said in a joint statement after their meeting. They described the meeting

Kennedy tells Nebraska farmers 'lnflation being fought on your backs'

c. 1980 N.Y. Times DENTON, Neb. - Sen. Edward M. Kennedy told Nebraska farmers Friday that the Carter administration’s “battle against inflation is being fought on your backs.” He said Friday’s report of the decline in the rate of increase in the producer price index, to only five-tenths of 1 percent in April, would probably be used by the administration to “announce on your television” that progress was being made in the battle against high prices. But because the rate was

Later, Runcie declined to reveal the content of their private conversation, but called the meeting a chance for the Catholic and Anglican churches to work together to promote the “freedom and fullness of life that is the birthright of every person born into this world.” “It seems providential,” he said, “that our first meeting was not in Rome, not in tfie

He said if Carter had come to Nebraska instead, he might have gained “a real understanding of the anxiety” of farmers over administration policies. Kennedy’s jab at Carter’s absence took advantage of the fact

that the Carter campaign has paid very modest attention to Nebraska, sending Joan Mondale, wife of Vice President Walter F. Mondale, as its most important campaigner. Local polls reflect a Carter lead, but suggest that the support for the prescient is quite soft. Kennedy’s 20-hour visit to the state was his second in a week. At the farm meeting, Kennedy not only focused on specific agricultural problems, such as the partial cutoff in shipments of grain to the Soviet Union and the “extraordinary” high interest rates for farmers, but also scoffed at what he called the administration’s general approach to the nation’s problems as “just wring your hands and say, as I’ve seen Mr. Carter do, ‘well, no one could do any better.’ ” “This runs against everything that I believe about this country, and that I believe as a member of the Democratic Party,” he said. “I believe that an individual president can make a difference.” Kennedy said at the Lincoln news conference that he agreed with the foreign policy principles outlined by Carter in his Philadelphia speech Friday, but wished the administration had been guided by them for four years. Instead, he charged, “we have seen an American foreign policy which is constantly being surprised by the actions of our adversaries as well as our allies. That is not the policy of consistency, predictability and constancy which were outlined in Mr. Carter’s statement.”
