Sorority plans Hag' project for Turkeyfest Ann Landers
Lifesaver Emergency Tags for
children will be found in the
Turkeyfest Children’s Mall.
Members of Alpha Gamma Psi
chapter of Beta Sigma Phi sorority
will mann the Fish Pond booth
where tags will be distributed at no
charge.
These tags were the brain child of
George Wager of Anaheim. Califor-
nia.
One day when he was petting his
dog he thought. “A lost dog has
more information on his collar than
a lost child would have.” He began
to experiment with labels thinking
they could be sewn into a child’s
clothing.
Wager turned up with a
destruction-proof label that could
be washed and was tear-proof. In-
formation to be filled in on the tags
include the child’s name, address,
telephone number, parents’ names,
addresses and telephone numbers,
medical information and family
physician’s name and number.
After reading an article in
Reader's Digest about the tags,
president Nancy Arndt suggested
the sorority send for the tags and set
up a distribution center.
Wager commented, “I already
have received letters from parents
whose children’s lives were saved
due to the information on the tags.”
He has also created a lifesaver game
that hones in on teaching safety

Dear Ann lenders: You have
done it again Believe me, you have
saved a life. Mine.'
I was married for almsot 28 years
and have six of the most wonderful
children in the world. Five weeks
ago my wife left me and the kids for
a 22-year-old guy. She says she is
madly in love with him and refuses
to let this last chance for heaven get
away. The woman is twice his age
and she has four kids older than he
is. I tried everything I could think of
to get her to change her mnd but
nothing I said made any difference.
She is now living in the kid’s apart-
ment.
When she left she tore my heart
apart. Life was meaningless and
suicide seemed like the only way to
end the agony. I planned to take my
life the following morning, but that
night I picked up the Newark News
and ran across the letter in your col-
umn about parents who commit
suicide. I cried all the while I read it,
but it opened by eyes. It made me
realize how short-sighted and selfish
I was.
Thank you. from the bottom of
my heart, Ann Landers. I am asking
you t<5 print this letter and you have
my permission to use my name and
city. I will never forget what you did
for me and my children. — Mr. M.,
Father Of Six In Oak Ridge, N.J.
Dear Dad: Thank you for letting
me know. For those who did not see
that column, the bottom line was
this: “Stick around and face the
problem. Your family needs you.
Killing yourself may put an end to
your pain but it will create problems
without end for those you leave
behind.”
after unprotected intercourse. It is
NOT, repeat NOT, a substitute for
birth control pills.
Dr. Daniel Mishell Jr., chairman
of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the
University of Southern California,
says that for the majority of women
it would be safer and just as effec-
tive to take a pill with a lower
amount of estrogen.
• Dear Readers: Several weeks ago
I printed a column by Dr. Dean S.
Edell about Ovral, "the morning
after” pill.
I would like to make it clear that
this pill should be used as an
emergenev nv^nri* the morning
Dear Ann Landers: Regarding the
mother in Longview whose children
resembled no one in the family:
Here is a story about a child who
DID look like someone. At every
family get-together I was put on
display and stared at, and had my
chin grabbed and twisted so that
everyone could see every angle of
my face.
When 1 was 6 years old it was
decided that I looked like my great-
Aunt Edith, who was almost 70 at
the time. I was absolutely horrified
because Aunt Edith had a beak of a
nose, bulging eyes, lots of wrinkles
and a wart on her chin with hair
growing out of it.
During my growing-up years l
was a loner, depressed and in-
troverted. I would spend hours in
front of the mirror praying for my
face to change. Thankfully, when I
was 16 my face must have changed
because I was elected May Queen. It
was the happiest day of my life.
Please inform people not to tell
kids they resemble older relatives.
Children need all the positive im-
agery they can get. To be told they
resemble someone 50 years older
can be very depressing. — An
Original Swan
Dear Swan: Thanks for sitting in
my chair today. Your message is a
good one and could have come only
from someone who has been there.
Millions of children will bless you.
