Why poke nasty fun at her? Dear John: I am fond of house plants and I have a lot of them. I know most of them by name. However, the other day a nursery owner friend (kopped by the house and pointed to a plant that te made up of speaks about three feet in height. “Oh,” he said, “I see you have a mother-in-law's tongue." And he explained that was the “common name” for the plant Why do people always have to poke such nasty fun (?) at us mothers-in-law? Motber-ln-law Dear Mother-In-Law: If you hadn't written to me, it would have meant you were not sensitive on the subject or as offensive as mothers-in-law can be — either advertently or inadvertently. However, you answered your own question by writing your letter. Dear John; I am the mother of two small children —a boy and a girl. They watch television a lot and see so much violence. It's dreadful! Why can't the TV stations ban violent movies and senes’ Fearful Mother Dear Fearful: You should be thankful for the violence on TV. It is the only way a kid can learn to avoid con artists, rapists, molesters and those with kinky minds. They don't learn these lessons from parents, schoolteachers or ministers. A few years back, a PTA put out a comic book, warning schoolchildren about molesters. It pictured violence and bad guys. And the children learned from it. But PTAs cant produce enough comic books to teach children of all the evils of life. TV can. It does one heckuva fine job and will continue to do so. That is, unless the bleeding hearts and do-gooders get a law passed to ban violence on TV.

Time to rethink

'volunteerism'

By JANET LOWE Copley News Service It is estimated that over 55 million people volunteer some part of their time for a favorite cause each year. At least a few nundred of these people are having second thoughts. The National Organization of Women (NOW) has taken a stand against volunteerism, except where it is change-ori-ented. For the hundreds of thousands of women who have been working for the Red Cross, the community symphony, their local hospital and in the schools, this comes as a shock. “You mean, besides giving up being a sex symbol, I have to quit my volunteer job? Can’t I have any fun?” asked one woman. NOW isn’t suggesting that you abandon volunteerism all together, but rather that you donate your time and talents in away that is genuinely constructive. What are the dangers in certain volunteer efforts? The largest one is that you may be replacing a paid worker, and thereby depriving someone, most likely an underskilled woman, of a job. One of my friends recently volunteered in a hospital medical records department, and found the paid workers were extremely hostile toward her. She soon learned that they’d previously been paid overtime for the work she was now/doing free. These womenhad families to

support and their salaries were only barely adequate as it was. That overtime meant the world to them. My friend thought it over. This was a privately owned community hospital. Profits of the hospital went to a group of businessmen, the majority of whom were well-paid doctors. She realized that she was helping make the investors rich and the record clerks poor. She resigned, and revolunteered at a senior citizens’ free clinic. There were no profits from that organization, except the happiness of helping people who had no other place to turn for assistance. Many volunteers feel that their efforts don’t receive enough respect. “I’d worked for years as a school volunteer and a Girl Scout leader, yet when I applied for a job, I wasn’t allowed to use this as work experience,” explained one woman. All the fancy talk in the world can’t change the obvious. If a personnel office doesn’t acknowledge the work of volunteers as real work, then the effort is undervalued. . Some hospitals, as well as Campfire Girls and Red Cross and similar agencies, do take into account the verifiable volunteer efforts of job applicants. Hopefully this trend will spread to other organizations. One way to encourage the practice to spread is to check with the employment officer of any organization which seeks your help as a volunteer. If they don’t allow you to list the volunteer work, don’t give your time. Plenty of other groups could use your help.
