Questions of Democracy Pit
The Many Against the Few
By Abigail Van Buren
© 1993 Universal Press Syndicate
DEAR ABBY: Recently, 1 saw a
news story on television regarding
the possibility of installing public
toilets on the streets in New York
City. It seems a European company
had installed several as a test,
which were very well received by
the people of that city, with one
notable exception — a group of
handicapped people who were upset
because the toilets were not
designed to accommodate wheel-
chairs. These people threatened to
block the adoption of these toilets
until provisions for wheelchairs
were made.
One group argued that the facili-
ties might be used for purposes
other than for the one intended.
Still, this action by a few could pre-
vent the adoption of these toilets by
the city.
Abby, what is happening to our
society? Why should a vocal minori-
ty prevent the majority from realiz-
ing an enormous convenience sim-
ply because they cannot also bene-
fit? My high school civics teacher
taught us that a test for democratic
action was “the greatest good for
the greatest number of people.”
Since you have frequently cham-
pioned the rights of the disabled,
what are your feelings about this?
ROBERT M JOHNSTON JR.,

DEAR THIRD ROW CEN-
TER: The next time you ask her,
tell her that you would be
pleased to have her company at
the concert — if she wants to go
"Dutch." Better yet, so there
will be no misunderstanding,
say, “We will each pay our own
way.”
DEAR ABBY: I’m a high school
student, and since 1 constantly have
to fill out forms (test forms, job, doc-
tor, etc.), I have noticed something
that bothers me. When you have to
indicate “gender," “male" is always
listed before “female." Why is this?
Doesn’t "F" come before “M” in the
alphabet?
1 would like to see “female” first
for once. Is there anyone you could
consult to find out why this is? I
would appreciate it because I am
very curious.
FED UP IN NEWPORT BEACH
DEAR FED UP: Spoken like a
true budding feminist, I
acknowledge that the practice
is usual and customary, but I
don’t see it as a put-down for
women. (I almost said “the
weaker sex”: Old habits die
hard.)
So, HoW’s

DEAR MR. JOHNSTON: I,
too, think it’s unfair to deprive
the able-bodied majority of the
convenience of public toilets on
the streets because the physi-
cally challenged minority can-
not be accommodated. There-
fore, I would recommend a com-
promise: Include some public
toilets to accommodate people
in wheelchairs.
DEAR ABBY: Twice, I’ve asked a
friend of mine to concerts — usually
with the opening, “Would you like
to go to the concert with me?" She
accepted both times.
I was expecting her to pay for
her own ticket, but she said nothing
— nor did she suggest a “pre" or
“post-concert" refreshment on her.
She is good company and I am
contemplating asking her again, but
how can I ensure that she “gets it"
by paying for her own ticket?
THIRD ROW CENTER
DEAR ABBY: You want to hear
about recycled gifts? Susie was vis-
iting Elma and noticed a beautiful
and expensive-looking beer stein in
Elma’s china cabinet. Susie kept
looking at it, then she said, “Why,
that’s just like the one I bought
Eddie!" (Eddie was Susie's hus-
band.)
Elma then said, “Oh? ... Art
(Eddie's half-brother) gave it to us.”
Susie just stood there with her
mouth open. She then realized why
Eddie's gift had mysteriously disap-
peared.

DP’:
There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, the
holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. God is in the midst of her,
she shall not he moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.
[This is part of a vision the Lord gave to Ezekiel.] Then he brought me
back to the door of the temple; and there was water, flowing from under
the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the front of the temple
faced east; the water was flowing from under the right side of the
temple, south of the altar. The man brought me out through the outer
north gate. And he led me around outside to the outer east gate. The
water was coming out on the south side of the gate. The man went to-
ward the east with a line in his hand. He measured about a third of a
mile. Then he led me through water that came up to my ankles. The
man measured about a third of a mile again. And he led me through wa-
ter up to my waist. The man measured about a third of a mile again. But
it was now a river that I could not cross. The water had risen too high.
It was deep enough for swimming. It was a river that no one could cross.
He asked me, "Son of man, do you see this?"
Then he led me back to the bank of the river. When 1 arrived there, 1
saw a great number of trees on each side of the river. He said to me,
'This water flows toward the eastern region, goes down into the Arabah
(Jordan Valley), where it enters the Sea. When it empties into the Sea,
the water there becomes fresh. And it shall be that every living thing that
moves, wherever the rivers go, will live. There will he a very great
multitude of fish, because these waters go there; for they will be healed,
and everything will live wherever the river goes.
"Fishermen will stand along the shore; from En Gedi to En Eglaim
there will be places for spreading nets. The fish will be of many kinds -
like the fish of the Great Sea. But the swamps and marshes will not be-
come fresh; they will be left for salt.
"Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their
leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will
bear, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will
serve for food, and their leaves for healing."

BOSS HELPS THE NEEDY
EAST RUTHERFORD,
N.J. (AP) — Bruce Spring-
steen will once again help
the needy in his home state
and beyond, ending his
world tour with two benefit
concerts in the New Jersey
area.
The Boss will perform
June 24 at the Meadowlands
Arena to benefit World
Hunger Year, The Food &
Hunger Hotline and the
Community Food Bank of
New Jersey.
He will also perform June
26 at New York’s Madison
Square Garden for the
Kristen Ann Carr Fund,
which is dedicated to fight-
ing sarcoma, a form of
cancer that attacks children
and young adults. Kristen
Ann Carr, daughter of
Springsteen’s co-manager
Barbara Carr, died in
January from liposarcoma.
The Meadowlands concert
will be Springsteen’s third
visit to New Jersey on his
1992-93 tour. Last summer,
he sold out an 11-show stand
at the Meadowlands, and in
March he performed a ben-
efit for the Community Food
Bank of New Jersey.

Mirrors Of
Yesterday
By CAROLYN CHOPP
Ten Years Ago
Kyla Kaye Holcomb, four-
year-old granddaughter of a
Billings couple, was named
Miss Photogenic in the La
Petite division of Okla-
homa’s Universal Beauty
state pageant held July 6-10
at Oklahoma City — she is
the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Charlie Holcomb. Still
water; and granddaughter
of Mr. and Mrs. George
Bellmon, Billings; and Mr.
and Mrs. Gland Holcomb,
Grove, Okla.
Twenty Years Ago
Don Bromlow had ac-
cepted the position of super-
intendent of Red Rock
school effective with the fall
term....An ice cream social
was planned for Aug. 3 when
the Women’s Missionary
council of the Assembly of
God church met in the home
of Mrs. Larry Jarrett....A
brunch was held at Sooners
Corner restaurant by the
Iris unit of Perry Garden
Clubs — Mrs. E. J. Kemnitz
was hostess and 10 mem-
bers were present.
Thirty Years Ago
Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Brown,
Eugene, Clinton and Andy of
Summit, Miss., spent about
two days with Mr. and Mrs.
David Sherrard, Ralph and
Larry — Brown and Sher
raid were buddies in mili-
tary service and had not
seen each other in several
years....Around The Perry
Square, John Steichen was
closing a door, Howard
Emery was making an in-
quiry, Carl Pagel was learn
ing to knit, Frank Boone
was going to the drug store,
Mrs. Stanley Nemec, Mrs.
Adolph Zavodny and Mrs.
John Nemec were in the
park.
Forty Years Ago
Around The Perry
Square, Mrs. Norman
Boone was avoiding a pedes-
trian, Glynn McCauley was
helping wash a car, Charlie
Longacre was holding down
the curbing in front of his
shop, Carole Madden was
making a right turn onto the
square from a side street, C.
E. Sylvester was making a
deal over a cup of coffee.
Charlie Jirous was discuss-
ing passengers, George
Rugh was hitching a ride on
the delivery truck, Wilson
Clark was preparing a
speech to make to the Orlan-
do Lions Club, Mrs. Klem
Went was telling of the year-
ly trek to Camp Redlands.
Fifty Years Ago
"Oh, where, oh where
have my little roosters
gone?” was the song Mrs.
W. T. Donahoe, 1017 Elm
street, was singing today —
two pet plymouth rocks,
raised from infancy at the
Donahoe home, failed to
return to their roost one
night last week, and a neigh-
borhood search had been go-
ing on since; the two chicks
were acquired as mere
babes by the Donahoes at
Eastertime; their antics
had entertained the neigh-
borhood since in their var-
ious stages of growth
through the time they both
finally turned out to be
roosters and started
crowing.
Are high-voltage power lines unsafe?
By Peter H. Gott. M.D.
DEAR DR GOTT I’ve heard many
claims of health problems due to liv-
ing near high voltage power lines
Since we live in such an area and have
a small child. I’m very concerned and
would appreciate your input.
DEAR READER A few years ago.
there were several articles that
addressed the potential health prob
lems stemming from electromagnetic
radiation The sources of the electro
magnetism were electric shavers,
electric blankets, high-voltage power
lines and utility transformers
Supposedly children living near
such power lines showed an incidence
of leukemia that was higher than
expected At the time of the reports,
several authoritative resources dis-
agreed with these conclusions and the
whole issue sort of fell from public
view
To my knowledge, no large scientif-
ic studies have confirmed the risks of
chronic exposure to electromagnetic
radiation — although the issue may
soon be revived, based on new reports
from Sweden concerning the
increased incidence of childhood
leukemia in families living near high
tension power lines.
In my view, there is probably a
risk (but no one knows how much' of
chronic exposure to electromagnetic
fields Further information should he
forthcoming, and I’ll update my read
ers when it becomes available
DEAR DR GOTT I’ve had diffi
culty keeping my balance for four
years now and am at a loss to explain
why, except that I take triamterene
Could this be the culprit?
DEAR READER To a large
degree, our sense of balance is gov
erned by the vestibular organs, one
in each inner ear Balance is also
affected by poor vision and muscular
weakness. Therefore, you should see
your family doctor for examination
and testing to identify the cause of
your balance problems if necessary,
the physician may refer you to an
ear nose and throat specialist for
additional evaluation
Triamterene, a diuretic, is com
iionly used in combination with
other kidney stimulants in medicines
such as Dyazide and Maxzide
Although the drug can cause dizzi
ness, it has not been reported to
cause difficulty with balance
You don't mention why tri
amterene was prescribed. However,
it is often used to treat hypertension.
a disease that increases the risk of
stroke If you do have high blood
pressure and experienced a small
stroke, your imbalance could be due
to these factors The doctor should
be able to sort out these confusing
issues in short I believe that your
symptom is caused by something
other than the medicine you are tak
