My husband died in the ambulance as I rode with him. Since then my life has been hell. He was an alcoholic, would beat me up, steal and have affairs. All he left was $4 in his billfold. I'm just a nervous wreck. Bills, bills and family troubles. One daughter married a millionaire and the other children are fairly well off. They haven't helped me with expenses. I'm sick and hurt. I've worked hard while their father was out boozing., I do not deserve this. I need help. jr A. You've had it rough, really rough. That is obvious. But the way to correct and improve your life is to stop underscoring how rough it has been and still is. You've got to move away from your self-pitying attitude. Have the strength of character to put the past in the past. If you don't do that the past will continue to ruin your future. Since your children do not help, get a job and help yourself. Live with a positive attitude and you'll be surprosed how your life will gradually turn around. We have a booklet that has helped others with problems such as yours. It is entitled Help Yourself with God's Help, and a copy of it is on its way to you. Anyone wishing a free copy may write to us in care of Box 500, Pawling, NY 12564. Weekend Father Q. I am 30 years old and have two sons, 9 and 5. Their father and I are divorced and both are remarried. Their father and his wife "play family" when the kids are with them every other weekend, making sure they are seen around town with the boys. There is no discipline and they get anything they ask for. They are beginning to think life with me and their stepfather is abusive. It seems their father is trying to persuade them that life with them is better than with me. Before the divorce he considered them nuisances. I'm so confused I don't really know what is the right road to take. A. All you can do is to treat your two sons in the manner you think is best for them. You have no control over the way their father and his present wife handle them, and to agitate yourself over that is futile, and therefore foolish You do not need to be confused. Decide what you think is right; do that and forget it. IS Years Old and Feels Doomed Q. I am only 15 years old. I am never happy-well, sometimes but never for long. I love being alone, and that scares me. I know I am not pretty, and it bugs me. I've tried to make myself look better and it does not work. I really don't understand myself. Is there something wrong with me? I've talked to God, but nothing seems to help. Does he not hear me? I just believe I'm doomed. A. One of the healthiest things that any of us can do is simply to accept ourselves and live with ourselves on that basis. Of course there is nothing wrong with you except your attitude. Say to yourself, "I am what I am and I like myself as I am." Then just live your life and be happy with yourself. You are not doomed, but are a normal human being. God is with you and will help you. If there is something you would like to ask Dr. and Mrs. Peale to discuss in this column, write to them in care of Box 500, Pawling, NY 12564.

Surprises Found Among Cities With Worst Air u H iW l> | BIRTHS I H ' M1 1 1 M Nu-Voice Club Offers Support j College Honors | DEAN'S LIST Christine Doris Darr, a senior at Marquette university, was listed on the dean's honor list for the second semester, 1977-78. Miss Darr is a Liberal Arts student and maintained a grade point average of 3.43? during the semester Most environmentalists can guess which U.S. city has the worst air quality. Los Angeles, famous for its smog, was the easy 'winner" in a study published by the Council on Environmental Quality. On 318days in 1975-the year on which the study was based-its air was "unhealth- ful," "very unhealthful" or "hazardous." But the list of runners-up contained a few surprises, according to the National Wildlife federation, which monitors the nation's air pollution in its annual En­ vironmental quality index report The next-worst cities, and the number of days on which their air was "unhealthful" or worse were: Denver, 177; Albuquerque, 150; Phildelphia, 150; New York-New Jersey metropolitan area, 149, Boston, 147; Houston, 141; St. Louis, 140; San Francisco, 127; Spokane, Wash., 126; Phoenix, 118; Fairbanks, Alaska, and District of Columbia, 90; Sacramento, Cal , 88; Lousiville, Ky., 72; Steuben ville, Ohio, 60; Cincinnati, 51; Omaha, 40; Memphis. 38; and Wichita.

The baby's mother is the former Donna Frisby Since September, 1976, the Easter Seal society for McHenry county has main­ tained a Nu-voice club , for persons who have lost their vocal cords through trauma or cancer of the larynx. There are approximately 9,000 new cases of laryngeal cancer reported each year in the United States. There are two main types of treatment for cancer of the larynx, radiation and surgery. The choice depends on the location and size of the tumor. The surgical treatment may require removal of only one vocal cord, ^hich means that speech ability is not always lost, although the sound is altered. In two thirds of the cases of laryngeal cancer, the patient is able to retain his larynx. The j Nu-Voice club is designed for anyone who has had experience with laryngeal cancer. Cheryl Van Zandt, executive director, speech clinician and advisor to the Nu-Voice club for McHenry county, has worked with laryngectomees for four years Ms Van Zandt has had basic anatomy and physiology concerning all speech production. She has attended workshops and seminars at THE Furniture Hospital CRYSTAL LAKE UPHOLSTERY SHOP S REPAIRING I R€GtUIN& Lorry £ Jim Seymour 815/459-0653 JAMES C.

"A patient who has un­ dergone a laryngectomy is called a laryngectomee. With special training he can learn to speak again with a new voice. This voice technique is called esophogeal speech. ' said Ms. Van Zandt. She further ex­ plained that the laryngectomee is taught to take air into the mouth and swallow or force the air into the esophogus by locking the tongue to the roof of the mouth. When the air is expelled, it causes the walls of the esophogus and pharynx to vibrate. This action vibrates the column of air in the passages, causing a low- pitched sound. The patient then articulates this into words with the tongue, lips, teeth and palate, as normal speakers do No matter how it is viewed, removal of the larynx is a highly traumatic experience Total loss of normal voice is not the only problem involved Disfiguration from a laryngectomy makes the situation even more difficult to accept. When the larynx is removed the diameter of the neck is decreased and normal breathing through the nose and mouth does not take place The trachea or breathing tube is brought down to a small per­ manent opening through the neck called a stoma created just below the site of the larynx Breathing is often impaired by frequent build up of mucous and coughing The laryngectomee is sometimes reluctant to socialize with family, friends, and business associates. Many victims completely give up their social lives, isolating themselves from the rest of the world The Nu-Voice club can and has changed this Very similar in concept to the Easter Seals Stroke club, Nu-Voice brings people with a common disability together and proves to them and their families that they can comunicate, they can talk, socialize, go out and have fun Nti-Vnipp club participation can begin with pre and-or postsurgical visits, attended by one or more Nu Voice club members and a speech clinician The visit informs the patient of speech alternatives and availability of therapy Questions on speech rehabilitation are answered and pamphlets and other published materials are of­ fered Within the Nu-Voice cluh there is an equipment loan pc of artificial voice devices, to be used by new laryngectomees post surgically until they make a decision on which type to purchase The loan pool gives the patient the opportunity to use the various models so there is a more knowledgeable decision as to the type to buy Nu-Voice club meetings often consist of films and guest speakers. holiday get togethers, parties, picnics, luncheons, and evenings out to plays, dinners, etc Like any other handicapped individual the new laryngectomee needs a great deal of understanding and more important, en couragement Wittvpver fifteen members in thejfc-'Voice club it is now an active atW-involved group in the community For further information on the Nu Voice club, contact Cheryl Van Zandt.
