NAME. ADDRESS CITY Divorcee with financial problems Q. I'm not depressed or lonely but I still have problems. Mostly financial. I'm 35 years old, divorced, have two children and plenty to keep me busy. My former husband pays little support and doesn't even meet that. I had a good job, but they wouldn't pay me equal to the men doing the same work. They all hounded me to make my ex-husband pay. Finally, demanding that I go to bed with him, and after months of my refusal , my boss fired me. Even my lawyer keeps saying, "Find a man to support you." 7 HOMEMADE SALADS TRIMMINGS TO CREATE YOUR OWN SALAD DAILY SPECIALS SANDWICH-SOUP h SALAD SPECIALS 11:30 to 2:30 MONDAY thru FRIDAY PAGE 10- PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. Jt'XE 22. 197; Retreat House Lost To Flames During Storm I know God had a purpose for it all. This is just one event that made me know I don't have enough faith. I feel confused about how I believe, and I don't know where to turn to learn to have more faith. Can you please help me? A. It is natural to be disturbed and perhaps even bitter and questioning under the circumstances you describe. God never promised anybody freedom from sorrow or suf­ fering.

How do you feel about people shaking hands in church with everyone around them, causing confusion and germ- spreading? Wouldn't it be better for people to say simply, "God bless you?" A. Friendliness within a congregation is strengthened by physical contact. Shaking handSvwith other worshipers is a time^honored way of ex­ pressing fellowship, love warmth and caring. It helps to create a bond between those who come to church for wor­ ship, help and healing. There are germs everywhere. Why single out those in church? Enjoy this manifestation of God's love just as you benefit from the rest of the church service.

JUNE 13th LONGMAN STEAK HOUSE ; by Norman Vincent Peale ; and Ruth Stafford Peale ' Lost five-year-old child and lost ; faith i Q. Since we lost our five-year- old son my husband has been quite upset. He wanted to know how God could let such a dear child suffer through the agony ;of an open spine and finally death. I couldn't find any words of comfort for him even though But you just can't walk out and pick one up off the street. I don't want another bad marriage. It's hard for me to understand men's position on paying women. I have to pay the bills the same as a man, but how can I when I'm not allowed to earn it? A. If all the statements you recite are factural, although we are no lawyers, it would ap­ pear that you have a legal case against your employer. Under the law, as we un­ derstand it, the fact that you are a woman does not permit him to pay you on a scale less than that of a man doing the same work. Furthermore, it is not your employer's business to "hound" you to make your ex- husband pay the difference between what you. make and what he should pay you. Nor has he any right to demand that you act immorally. And we certainly would not take a lawyer's superficial advice to find a man to support you. Consult your state em­ ployment office on your legal employment righrs. (Perhaps you would like to find an answer for yourself to a problem that you can share with others in There's An Answer!
