Law sinks funeral plan
r— i I
Dear Ann Landers: Have you
heard of a Viking funeral? I
hadn’t until two weeks ago.
Since then I have thought of
little else. Pleaseugivame some
guidance. I’m all fogged up on
this one.
My grandfather has told my
brother and me that he wants a
Viking funeral. We didn’t know
what It was until he explained.
The deceased person is put in a
boat. The boat is set on fire and
shoved out to sea.
Grandpa lives in Minneapolis,
and there is no sea anywhere
around. He says he wants as to
use Uke Harriet instead. It all
sounds very sentimental, but
the other members of the
family insist it’s a crazy idea,
and they will not agree to it,
My brother and 1 think
Grandpa should have his way.
After all, when life has gpne out
of the body what difference does
it make what is done with it?
Please agree with us. It would
-make Grandpa happy to know
you are on his side. It might also
help persuade the other
members of the family to grant
that sweet old man his last
wish. — Joe From Bismarck,
N.D.
Dear Joe: Every state has its
own burial laws, and I know of
no state where a Viking funeral
is legal. Break the news gently
to Grandpa. It Sounds as if he
had his heart set on it. .
Dear Ann Landers: My
husband and I were married
four years ago by a justice of
the peace. No family was
present. We were planning on a
big wedding, but I became
pregnant and we hurried it up
some.
I refused to have a chuch
lovely home and beautiful
children, btiLwe both believe a
church wedding would make us
feel better about our life
together. Are we crazy for
wanting this now? Please tell
us. — Something Missing
Dear Missing: I don’t see
anything crazy about a second
weddj$; ceremony in a church,
to renew your vows.

wedding because 1 didn’t want
to embarrass my family. I also
felt I didn’t deserve a church
wedding because of my
mistake.
Now, four; years and two kids
later, we realize we missed out
On something very special. We
also realize we hurt the people
we loved most.
My question is this: Would it
be acceptable to have a wed-
ding now to renew our marriage
vows? Should we invite just
family, or family and friends
also? v
We have a good marriage, a
Do it, and invite anyone you
please. (P.S. I assume, of
course, that you and your,
husband are paying for this,
and not your parents.)
Dear Ann Landers: Friends
in their late 20s have a
beautiful, healthy seven-montb-
olifboy. The child’s mother is a
health nut. She refuses to have
the child immunized against
any disease. The woman insists
that shots actually contain
small amounts of the disease,
and she doesn’t want anything
like that injected into her son’s
system.
Her husband goes alqng
Don’t flunk your chemistry
test. Love is more than one set
of glands calling to another. If
you have trouble making a

to Tell the Difference” Send a

Russians bear
bites peacock
By PETER J. BOYER
APSielevision Writer
IDS ANGELES (AP) - The
Peacock meets The Bear
It is possible, I suppose, that
the Kremlin did not coasider
NBC’s 1980-81 prime time
schedule when drawing plans
for the Afghanistan in-
tervention. In any event, the
march of Ked army onto
Afghan turf could well ruin
Fred Silverman & Co.’s neat
plans for a happy future.
The linchpin of NBC’s
recovery plan was a successful
1980 Moscow Olympics. The
design, like television itself,
yras simple, with a beginning,
middle and end:
NBC would spend lots of
mqney to buy the Olympics, use
the event as a promotional tool
for its 1980 fall schedule, and
parlay its investment to the No.
1 position in the ratings race. It
worked for ABC in 1976 and,
given Fred Silverman's record,
'‘figured to work for NBC in 1980.
Unfortunately for NBC,
Russia's historical imperatives
were not figured into the
scenario. Russia gets this oc-
casional urge to visit the sea.
Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan
sit between the Soviet Union
and the Arabian Sea. Russia
went into Afghanistan.
< This complicates things for
NBC. President Carter has
threatened to boycott the
Moscow Olympics and has
urged other nations to follow
suit. Saudi Arabia, which likely
isn’t happy over the prospect of
Russians in the Persian Gulf
(also easier to get to from
Afghanistan than from Russia),
has already announced its in-
tention to boycott the Games
and is asking its friends to join
in.
The British Commonwealth
may boycott, and other nations,
as well.
This bodes ill for tRe Moscow
Olympics, and, thus, for NBC. If
President Carter calls for a
boycott it’s quite likely that the
.U S. Olympic .Committee would
oblige. And without U.S. par-
ticipation, NBC is left with
damaged goods.
If the U.S. drops out, NBC
might drop its plans to cover the'
Games.
The, net work has insuranc
that would cover most of its
financial loss (the Moscow
Olympics cost is estimated at
more than $150 million right
nowk, and the 152 hours of
planned Olympic coverage
from July 18 to Ajug. 5 could be
filled with regular program-
ming.
But the value of the Moscow
Olympics as a promotional tool
is Incalculable.

State's hopes for tanker
superport remain afloat
By MAX B. SKELTON
Associated Press Writer
HOUSTON (AP) - Bob
Casey had threatened to quit
but says he will not do so as long
as there is a “glimmer of hope’’
Texas can build an offshore
crude oil terminal for use by
supertankers.
The project, said the chair-
man of the Texas Deepwater
Port Authority, is too important
to the statel economy for the
2.5 million parrels a day facility
to be abandoned.
Casey's remarks prompted
no debate Thursday and
directors of'the authority
quickly voted unanimously to
continue its feasibility studies
even though indicated oil
commpany support has been
far below expectations.
The state agency.now will
explore the possibility of
building the terminal 26 miles
south of Freeport in stages but
without changing the ultimate
daily capacity goal.
After hearing Casey’s
recommendations, Sherman
Fricks, Austin, said he was not
ready to throw in the towel.
“And I'm not sure we even
have the authority to quit,’’
Fricks said. “Oil companies
and their wisdom move in
strange ways and somebody is
going to build this thing.”
When the Department of
Transjiortation authorized a
license last August, the
authority hoped to have on hand
by Jan. 1 company use
agreements covering 1.4 million
barrels a day, the level needed
for underwriting an overall
$1,125 billion in tax free revenue
bonds.
“We have non-binding
agreements for seven cohv
panies for only 550,000 barrels a
day,” Casey said Thursday.
“Do we quit cold or explore
other methods? I say we’ve
spent too much time to quit.”
Casey said the efforts should
continue “as long as there is a
little light.”
. “I suggest we bring the seven
companies back and check with
the' Department of Tran-
sportation on the feasibility of
building the termminal in in-
crements with the final goal
still 2.5 million barrels a day,”
he said.
Casey said the current overall
construction cost estimate is
$843 million. He told newsmen,
however, that starting with two
mooring buoys instead of four
as had been planned would
boost overall costs.
The World Almanac
Both Casey and Gerald A.
Jackson, general manager, had
said in October they would
resign if the necessary use
agreements had not been
received by Dec. 31.
Casey said Thursday he had
changed his mind. Jackson did
submit his resignation but it
was rejected.
“I’ll stay as long as there is a
glimmer,” Jackson said.
Seadock Inc., a consortium of
private companies, had planned
to build the port but bowed out
after such major backers as
Exxon, Gulf, and Mobil with-
drew while terming some
provisions of the DOT license as
onerous. Seadock had spent
about $25 million but later
agreed to sell its engineering
plans and other data to the state
agency for $11 million.
Seadock will not receive the
money, however, unless bonds
are sold for the project.

meekly. We can’t get it through
to her that she is doing the child
a grave disservice. Maybe
there are other, well-meaning
but misguided parents in your
reading audience who need
educating. Please say
something to them. — Worried
In The Midwest
Dear Worried: The “shots”
do indeed contain “small
amounts of the disease.’’ The
child’s body then manufactures
antibodies to fight the disease,
and this is how immunity
develops.
Parents who are afraid to
vaccinate their children against
polio, whooping cough, measles
and typhoid need to be talked to
by a pediatrician. Many schools
will not permits child to enroll
unless there is proof, of vac-
cination — a very good idea.
