Please Respond Soon To Meet Rene Lister and Rita Dunn, (left and left center) chairbears of Good Bears of Marion, represent the organization as it is presented $100 from Professional Social Service Organization president Sue Gooding and vice president Norma Primmer (center right and right).

The latter organization is composed of professional social workers, community workers, nurses and lawyers, dedicated to providing some type of social service to the Marion community. It meets once a month, usually the last Thursday, at Tr-Rivers Career Center. At the meetings they exchange information on new programs or activities being offered to the people in the community. In February, Good Bears of Marion visited and gave a presentation about the recently chartered Good Bears of Marion Den. Lister and Dunn explained how their organization spreads cheer with teddy bears, the universal symbol of love and compassion.

They have been able to make happy some youngsters and "young at heart" people in Marion hospitals and nursing homes. Nicole, a young person who required heart surgery, received such a teddy bear prior to her departure for her operation in California. The members of the Professional Social Service organization voted unanimously to contribute $100 to the Good Bears, so they can continue to distribute their symbol of love and compassion the teddy bear.

Waldo ceremony unites Retterers Dear Ann Landers: Please print something that a lot of teens will understand.

It's a message to my mother. Yes, Mom, I know my "little disappointments" are no big deal. I'm just a kid. What problems could I possibly have? When I'm an adult I'll find out what real trouble is. This is what you keep telling me.

But I really do have problems serious ones that bug me a lot. Why don't you understand? They may be petty to you but they are very important to me. You say you had a miserable childhood and that by comparison mine is easy. Yours was harder physically maybe, but not emotionally. You say I am ungrateful, that I take everything for granted and don't appreciate anything.

You keep telling me how much you sacrificed for me. I'm sure you don't realize how hard I try to please you. When you come home from work tired you feel you have a right to be demanding and. nasty-tempered. You tell me to shut up when I start to talk about my day.

When you are in a rotten mood you expect me to cater to you. I feel like crying when you don't notice any of the things I did to please you. Instead you beef about the work that isn't done and complain because I didn't set the table right or the vegetables are a little overcooked. You tell me these are supposed to be the best years of my life. Don't you remember that the change from adolescence to adulthood can be very rough? It's hard for me to believe you were young once.

Give me a break. Mom, I want to get along with you. Please meet me halfway. I Am Your Daughter Dear Daughter: I wonder how many teen-agers you spoke for today. On behalf of all of them I want to thank you for a very good letter.

Dear Ann Landers: I didn't care for your response to the woman who complained because her husband agreed to split the dinner check evenly with the eight other couples. (Some had lobsters and drinks, while they ordered chopped steak and drank club soda.) Why should people who are watching their money subsidize the high livers? Your answer didn't make any sense. Let Down In N.J. Dear L.D. In N.J.: To you, and thousands of others who didn't like my answer, I ask only that you read it again.
