DEAR ABBY: Shortly before St. Valentine’s Day you
had a “confidential" in your column urging each reader to
. "be a sweetheart" and take a shut-in out for a drive, invite
a single over to relieve his ToT 'her) loneliness 'or.....send—
someone you likg a funny card, flowers or a little gift.
Well, Abby, we took your advice and came up with a list
of 25. In spite of the price of flowers and cards and
entertaining these days, we can’t remember receiving so
much for so little.--————-------.--.—
Our telephone rang for days! Some with tears in their
voices to thank us for thinking of them.
That one "confidential" in the Dear Abby column was
worth more than a year's subscription to the newspaper
that features your column. I hope you will publish that
if you would like to learn about
growing nursery stock for us
part time or full time
DEAR READER: The rule of grammar you speak of,
which is to use the masculine pronoun when it applies to
both male and female, was NOT devised to put down
women. And it is not likely to be changed in the interest of
women's rights.
Writing “he/she" and "him/her" IS a time-waster, and I
for one would find it extremely burdensome.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 20-year-oTcTtheology student who
will one day be a minister.
After going with a very lovely girl for a year, I asked her
to marry me. She is 18. She told me to ask her father.
In my conversation with the father, he asked me if I was
a virgin and I told him I was— which is true. I was
surprised that he would ask me such a question because he
is of the same religious denomination as me, and he knows
that sex before marriage is forbidden.
Well, he surprised me by saying, “I hope you will get a
little experience before you marry my daughter because I
don't want her going eff on a honeymoon with a fellow who
* doesn’t know anything.”
Abby, is there all that much to know? I always thought
the mating instinct was natural, and there’s no harm in
learning together. What is your opinion?
, - PROVO, UTAH
DEAR PROVO: Do ducks have to be taught to fly? And
fish to swim?
Love will find a way. Stay sweet as you are.
DEAR ABBY: I protest the use of the pronoun “he” or
3 "him" when referring to people in general.
An example from one of your columns: “Don't ever tell a
: child that HE is bad. If HE misbehaves, tell HIM you don’t
like what .HE did; don’t tell HIM you don't like HIM.”
The child could be a boy or a girl, right? But by using
only the male pronoun, it implies that males are of primary
; importance—another blow to the female’s self esteem.
