We sure appreciated the lit-

DEAR ABBY: In reply to LARRY'S GAL, you wisely
pointed out that gambling can become an addiction as
serious as liquor and tobacco.
That caused me to recall the words of Dr. George S.
Stevenson, a medical consultant to the National Association
for Mental Health:
“Many people come to adult life suffering from a feeling of
inadequacy about themselves, and a feeling of uncertainty
about life in general. Unable to meet the demands of life,
they may develop neurotic symptoms, take to alcohol or nar-
cotics, or turn to compulsive gambling, which permits them
to avoid reality —one turn of a card, one spin of the wheel
can make everything come out all right-they hope.

DEAR ABBY: I am 17 years old and it's like I am walking
around in a fog. I just found out that my “mother'' is really
my aunt, and my “aunt" is my real mother.
My mother wasn't married at the time, so she gave me to
her married sister to raise. Later, my real mother-got mar-
ried and had children. That means my brothers and sisters
are really my cousins, and the kids I always thought were
my cousins are really my half-sisters and brothers. I feel ter-
rible to think almost everybody in the family has known this
all along and I had to find it out from a stranger.
There is nothing I can do about it because I feel toward
the aunt who raised me just like any kid would feel toward
his own mother. And I don't honestly feel anything extra
special for my real mother who I thought was just another
aunt.
I guess what I want to say it this: Please tell people if they
have a secret like this in their family, it's best to tell the kids
before they hear it from strangers. HURT AND IN A FOG
DEAR HURT: Excellent advice!

DEAR ABBY: The letter signed AMERICA FIRST, in
which the writer was opposed to our taking in the boat peo-
ple, sickened me. I was further sickened to read that your
mail was running 200 to 1 in favor of turning away the
refugees!
1 would like to think that the writers of those letters are
in the minority, otherwise I fear for the future of our
country.
Your answer to AMERICA FIRST must have touched the
heart and soul of every decent human being wbqread it. It
was the finest letter you ever wrote. Our founding fathers
would have been proud of you.
Keep up the good work, Abby. You may be speaking for
the silent majority.

I also think that older peo-
ple working in such centers
might be more considerate of
other older people than others
since they can see that in the
future, they, too, might need
that kind of help and atten-
tion.
Some people who are
thought to be “senile" really
are depressed. Depression is
one of the most common caus-
es of curable disorders that
are mistakenly called senility.
