CRITICISM HAS ALR EADY been leveled at
the use of certain flammable plastics in
finishing the new structure and the lack of
some safety features. The building had no fire
escape or helicopter landing pad to help
rescue the victims.
While building codes in our country are
perhaps more rigid than in Brazil and the
construction of such a facility would not be
possible here, the thought of present buildings
now in existence does bring to mind some
interesting questions.

DEAR ABBY: I sure dig your column. Do you write all
those answers yourself? Or have you got a whole mess of
writers who do it for you?
And that picture of you is a gas! How old is it? Is that
really you? I’ll bet in real life you’re a fat old maid who
takes her frustrations out telling other people how to live.
I’m a 38-year-old bachelor. Never been married, but
I’ve been around a lot. If that’s really your picture and it’s
not more than 10 years old, I might even ask you to marry
me. Do you think you could live in Fort Wayne, Ind ?

DEAR RUSTY: I write all those answers myself, that
picture is ME, and it’s a recent one. Anyone who lived in

man I married 34 years ago, and I'm old enough to be your

COUNCILMAN J.C. LOWELL has earned
the plaudits of citizens for his nearly four
years of service to the city, often at great
sacrifice and for little financial benefit, but he
served his city well and his services will
surely be missed by everyone.
During the past four years, we have never
known him to shirk from his duty, to make the
decision that in his heart he knew would be
the best for the most people of the community.
I• M
ABE
WHILE SERVING Ward Four to the best of
his ability, Lowell also made it clear that he
was serving all citizens and not any particular
group or cause, even to the point of punishing
himself and his own business in some of his
decisions.
It is hard to find people to serve the com-
munity in a political capacity because of the
sometimes punishment that comes with
decisions that are not always popular, but
Lowell had the courage to stand up for that
which he felt was the right of the majority.

DEAR ABBY: This is my second marriage. His, also.
Three years ago Carl won me over by pretending to love
my two children. He took them on picnics, to the beach,
etc. As soon as the honeymoon was over, he ignored them
completely! He finally admitted he actually hates children!
The boy, now 10, is under a doctor’s care because of the
tension at home. The girl, 15, ran away twice because she
couldn’t stand this "institution.”
When Carl comes home from work he goes right to his
bedroom and nobody sees him until dinnertime. At dinner,
the extent of his conversation is: "Sit up straight, both you
kids, and keep your elbows off the table!”
After dinner he retires to his bedroom to watch TV. We
can be watching the same channel in another room, but
Carl prefers to watch it alone.
We never visit anybody, and no one visits us.
He hasn’t kissed me hello or goodby in two years.
There is no sex, either. I am clean and neat and pleasant. I
am 33. He’s 42. He’s a good provider, but what good is that
when everything else is lacking?
Don’t suggest counseling. My son’s doctor suggested
that, and Carl said: “No one has to tell me how to live my
life."

"I HATE TO LEAVE in a way," Lowell said
recently in announcing that he would not run
again, and we hate to see him leave too.
We commend Councilman Lowell for giving
four important years of his life to the service
of his city. His service should be an example to
others that follow, that they too must put the
city first though it may not always be the most
popular way to win elections.
ARE DOORS THAT are marked "Exit"
really exits and would these exits be easily
opened in te event a fire occurred and people
had to leave in a hurry due to a fire?
Maybe this is an "over-reaction" to one of
the worst tragedies ever recorded, but how
often it is that we wait until tragedy strikes,
and then, after it is too late, we take steps to
prevent such similar tragedies.
