Letters to DEBORAH WHITE DEAR DEBBIE: I'm probably late, as usual, with my beef, but I got to get something off my chest. Ever since this whole Watergate mess and events leading up to the r e s i g n a t i o n o f o u r President, people have b e e n l o o k i n g . a t everybody and everything with suspicion. Everybody around my place calls me "the politician" because I'm after people to go vote and to care about what'a going on in our country. I think it's wrong .hat our political lyittm should take a bad rap for a couple of bad applet. I think there are some great men in politics right now, men who work hard to get a job done and I'm only sorry some of these guys might go down the drain when it m i g h t h a v e b e e n otherwise if people weren't so short-sighted. HANK DEAR HANK I'm with you, that's why I .published your letter. There are indeed men on several levels of politics who are worth supporting, and working for. Think of the people who now believe all of politics is corrupt, and ask yourself how any of t h e m w o u l d - f e e l i f everyone were to turn their back on them CROSSWORD PUZZLE T O D A Y ' S A N S W E R ACROSS 1 Privation 5 Till now (2 wds.) 10 Shah's land 11 Pillage 12 Japanese aborigine (var.) 13 Proceedings 14 Burgundy or claret 12 wds.) 16"Gunsmoke" character 17 Real estate man 18 Table scrap 19 Sweetie 20 Spanish sil­ ver dollar 21 Incendiar­ ism •24 Shankar's instrument 25 Anatomical network 26 -- lamp 27 Erstwhile Mrs. Sinatra 28 Way out of prison 31 -- .Vereen 32 Shifty 34 Write 36 Winglike 37 Made appropriate 38 Forearm bone 39 Irish -- 40 Remainder DOWN 1 Equivocator 2 Bay window 3 Famous jockey 4 Arctic footwear 5 Wiser 6 Unclose (poet.) 7 Discover 12 wds. i 8 Twixt Spain and France 9 Atomic device 11 Spoke at length (2 wds.) 15 When the snow -- the pumpkin (2 wds.

I thought I'd d i s a p p e a r i n t o t h e honeycomb of apartment living for a while and try to find my ego after it was shattered during my marriage. Well, it didn't take long for me to find out that if you want privacy, the last thing to do is to move into an apartment house. The old ladies on each floor meet every afternoon down around the little fish pond near the elevator and ihere they gossip a b o u t e v e r y b o d y -- including me. The other night on my way in, one of the old girls winked at me and said, "Had a rough night last night, didn't you, Sonny?" It really bothers me to think I'm living in a fish bowl, but the idea of moving back to suburbia really knocks me out. How do I get people to mind their own business? KIRK DEAR KIRK: You don't. If you want to live where people are around to See you coming and going find believe me, that's true practically everywhere), then you've got to get a bit more thick-skinned as to what people might be saying about you. By the way, how do you know what the ladies are talking about down by the little fish pool in the lobby? • * * PERSONAL TO LOU: If you keep driving with one hand you're likely to run into the altar.

And when he came into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They saith unto him, Yea, Lord. Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.
