There was continued debate among >tr.s':"intelligence officials over the fate of Saddam, and whether he had been wounded or even killed in a Wednesday night strike on a building in the capital of Baghdad. Whether Saddam was alive or not, U.S. intelligence officials said the Iraqi command and control system was in disarray, and Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said, "The regime is starting to lose control of their country." The aerial onslaught was designed to accelerate that. The U.S. Central Command, which is running the war, said the targets included military command and control inst&llations and buildings in and around Baghdad, as well as targets in the northern cities of Mosul.

Plumley, 37, was bound over Thursday following a preliminary hearing in which Gallipolis Municipal Court Judge Margaret Evans determined enough substantial evidence had been presented by Prosecutor Brent Saunders for the case to go to trial. Plumley was charged with murder following an investigation into the March 10 shooting of 49-year old Marlin L. Montgomery in Guyan Township. He is being held in the Galha County jail. The body of Montgomery was discovered by sheriff's deputies following a report of a shooting incident at a residence on Wells Run Road near Crown City. The shooling, which authorities .believe to be the result of a domestic dispute, is still under investigation. The grand jury will meet Monday in Common Pleas Court.

Todd Bodine J~m ie McMyrrn~ arry Foyt, the son of perhaps the greatest American racer . who ever Jived, is trying to escape the shadow of his dad this year in NASCAR's Winston Cup Series. That won't be easy. Foyt, 26, is driving a Dodge with his father's famous number, 14, and A.J. Foyt is the owner of the team. Larry is both A.J .'s adopted son and natural grandson. "I notice he hasn't been happy the way it (the.team) has been run the past few years," said Larry, referring to his father, "so we are really trying to turn it around." Another Foyt grandson, AJ.

At that time, I was the youngest kid who grew up in the house, and my dad didn't have any of the other kids racing. "He was against me racing early on. He just didn't want to have to worry about us getting hurt and things like that. I never even thought about stock-car racing. It was all • about open-wheel racing. I raced Formula 2000 a little bit and started testing the Indy cars. I was pretty much ready to go IRL racing, and at the last minute, he started the Winston Cup team. He said, 'If you want to have a good career, you ought to look at stock cars.' That's when he put me in the ASA car."

McCoy said the ribbons would remain up until the troops safely returned. (Kandy Boyce) With those words, Harold . Thompson of Gallipolis summed up most folks' feelings about longtime Gallipolis bu sinessman, world traveler and community Max figure Tawney, who died Thursday at age 89. Tawney, who purchased a photography studio in a building at Second Avenue . and Court Street at the height of the Depression, made his mark in the business by laking school class photographs, many of them still around today, branching into photos of local events and most especially, images of the more than 70 countries he visited in his lifetime. Those accounts were included in a book he produced shortly before his death, "Max 's Adventurous Travels Around the World," whose first printing sold out almost at once. Additional copies of the book have been ordered several times, said Tandy Flint, his granddaughter. and people were in~uiring about copies at the studio on Friday. . Tawney was a charter member of the Gallipolis Lions Club, founded in 1956, where Thompson got to know him and appreciate hi s legacy to the communi ty. "He had been in business for 70 years. Think about it," Thompson said. "He definitely contributed a lot to our club and to the community. "Max probably sold light · bulbs right from the beginning," he added, referring to the Lions' annual "Light .for Sight" sale of light bulbs, the proceeds of ·which went to help the sight-impaired. "I went to see him a few weeks ago and talking to him was real nice, as always," Thompson said. "He always had a good sense of humor that's what I was always impressed with." Mary Lee Marchi, director of the Gallia County Historical and G enea l ogica l said Society, Tawney's photographs are an invaluable link to Gallia's history. Many of hi s photos were donated to the society for future viewmg. "This man contributed so much to the history of Gallia County with his photos," she said. "The legacy he has left us is incredible." Rai sed on a farm near Gallipolis, Tawney entered the photo~raphy busine ss soon after his graduation from Gallia Academy High School in 1933, first working for the studio operated by J.E . Watts. and later buying the business from Watts. In the early days. working with a photographer he hire<! from Marietta, Richard Remmey, Tawney traveled th:ti tri-state area taking class pho-: tographs. "One week a month we began at Point Pleasant an~ Henderson to take every school from there to Charleston," Tawney recalled in a 1993 memoir.

Based in Washington, CSE is a non-profit educational organization that addresses public policy matters from a free-enterprise, limited government perspective. Click says CSE is unique in that it goes beyond the traditional role of a "think-tank" in having policy matters it addresses implemented through its respective chapters. "CSE believes that battles for freedom cannot be won solely in think-tank conference centers or on the pages of a policy paper," Click said. "Citizens themselves must be active and educated participants in preserving our freedoms and liberties." Click said while CSE conducts research and releases opinions Qn many issues, the discretion as to which issues to implement is left to the state chapter. She said the focus of WVCSE is tax and workers' compensation reform. While it was refreshing the West Virginia Legislature iook a serious look that the issue of workers' compensation this past session, Click said the failure for a bill to be passed shows the inability for reform to take place. She said the only meaningful reform of the state's workers ' compensation program will be it being removed from government control. · "We believe the private sector will be the answer for workers' comp," Click said. Click said future legislative sessions must put tax reform on the front burner. She said . otherwise there will continue to be an exodus of people and jobs to other states. "The government has failed greatly in bringing in jobs and industry," Click said. Local Briefs West Virginia weather Saturday, March 22 OHIO . • VA . .

ATTENTION Ohio Route 143 open in Meigs POMEROY, Ohio ·- The Ohio Department of Transportation announced Friday that Ohio Route 143, about five miles north of the Ohio Route 7 junction, had been opened to traffic. The roadway section had been cl.osed due to the partial collapse of a culvert while repairs were being made. Motorists will experience no further restrictions in the area. Jesus entered the temple and found it being desecrated. lt was now a place where much commercialism was going on. There was a regular commercial market within its walls. How did a commercial market get into the temple of God? lt can easily be told that it was greed. Worshippers needed animals, incense, wine, oil, salt, and other items for their sacrifices and offerings. Visitors from other countries needed money exchanged. At some point in the history of the temple, the priests decided to take advantage of the market themselves instead of allowing retailers on the outside enjoy all the profits. Therefore, the priests began to set up booths within the temple and lease space to outside retailers who were often family members. The owner of the leased spaces and booths was apparently Annas, the High Priest. The outer counyard of the temple, the very worship center, was filled with booth-like spaces where worshippers ' could find anything they needed. The atmosphere was one of commercialism and commotion, not of worship and prayer. Who can picture animals with . their peculiar noises, wastes, and smells within the temple of God? What would cause people to abuse the worship place of God? It is no wonder Jesus did what He did. He could not do otherwise, for Jesus was the Son of God, the Messiah sent into the world to bring about true worship of God. Jesus ran through the temple chasing out all who were Matthew Dotson buying and selling, throwing over , tables of the moneychangers and throwing over chairs of the dove dealers. Jesus used the kind of rower and cleansing judgment that causes people to tremble before God. The temple was not to be used as a commercial center. It was not to be a place for buying and selling. The temple is a place of God, God's House of Worship. It is to be a place refined and purified by God. It is to be a place of quietness and meditation, a place set aside for worship, not for buying and selling where people get gain. Everything done within the House of God is to lead to the worship of the creator and communion with the Creator. A person either believes Jesus is the Son of God and is over the Temple of God, or else they believe neither. Jesus' death and resurrection was to provide a new temple, a new gathering place for God and humanity. It was to be in Him that people would thereafter meet God. The temple of His body was to become the temple of humanity, the temple where people would worship and be reconciled to God. (Rev.

REGIONAL VIEW Survival VU: are not only fighting to free Iraq, but preserve our own society • Daily Telegram, Bluefield, W.Va.: The United States is at war. A different war. Diffenint, because for the first time in a full-scale commitment of all our armed forces overseas, we feel vulnerable at home. For the first time, we feel more than an unease for our troops "over there ." We feel an unease for our own safety. Since the Civil War, which brought open warfare into our front yards and, indeed, our front room, the United States has felt a comfo rt zone between two expansive oceans. Those thousands of miles of the vast seas provided a watery buffer that protected us durin~ the conflagrations of World .war I, World War II Korea, Vtetnam and others no longer extsts. Terrorism i~ a deadly cancer without boundaries. That was a stunning lesson of Sept. II , 2001. . As United Nations diplomacy ground to an aggravatmg impasse, surprising negativity surfaced from the French, ~he Germans, the Chinese, and the Russians. All these countnes have been awash in the bloodbaths of previous wars, but gen· erations have faded . None of these countries have had to cry in disbelieving agony from the twi sted wreckage of terrorist attacks on their soil the scale of 9-11. None of the leaders of France, Germany, Russia and China have personally experienced the pain endured by their ancestors who knew firsthand the devastation of creeping apathy and'the price millions paid for that apathy. We didn' t see it coming Sept. II, but we can see clearly the dangerous road ahead if we do nothing now. 'It doesn't really matter that France, Germany, Russia and China wanted to drag out further examination of the dangeroils apparatus of Saddam Hussein. We saw no signal of their final intolerance, and we had no reasonable belief that there was any such intolerance. After all, it wasn't the Eiffel Tower or the Brandenburg Gate that collapsed at the hands of madmen. . This time, it's our necks, and George Bush knows that. Thts time, it's not just a matter of the patriotism of the past when we sang about our boys "Over There." This time, it's about our very survival at home. . It 's about the growing paranoia of color coded wamin~s, understanding bizarre chemicals that quickly choke the hfe from our bodies, fearing for our lives in crowded events, and remembering how our American world changed forever when tho.se innocent airplanes slammed into the monuments of our America. · Is thi s the American way? Is this the America our bravest people died for in wars past? . As the president said the other night, tolerating the threat of terrorism is blackmail. As Shakespeare said a long time ago, cowards die many times before their deaths. It's our turn to preserve our country. It's our birthright. We are not cowards. We must preserve the legacy of our heroes of the past and we owe it to the generations of the future. The heroes of this generation are acting valiantly to protect our American heritage. The courage of marching on Baghdad shaped a D-Day of a new century. It was a giant step in forging a shield to protect all that we hold dear when we recite the Pledge of Allegiance; it is the balm for the goosebumps we get when sing the National Anthem. This is our country. · God bless America' TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today· is Saturday, March 22, the 81 st day of 2003. There are 284 days left in the year.

The respect shown to Coach Toth that night was born out of discipline, consistency and hard work. Thank you, Coach Toth, for all your efforts this season and instilling honorable qualities in the Wahama High School basketball program and players. I encourage all Bend Area residents to let Dr. Parsons, superintendent of schools, and the Mason County Board of Education know that good things are happening at Wahama High School and we want to see it continue. Anna P. Barnitz New Haven, W.Va. Dear Editor: Those in attendance at the Wahama vs. Hannan sectional final March 7 witnessed a touching moment of honor and respect, which is often too rare in today's society and scholastic sports. Both teams played with what can only be described as true sportsmanship. When a player would fall down there seemed to always be a hand extended by an opponent for help up. Despite the fierce competition, · many times smiles could be seen being exchanged between opposing sides. This winning attitude displayed by both teams is a cred· it to Wahama High School's interim Coach James Toth and Hannan's Coach Wayne Richardson. While winning ball games is an important goal Dear Editor: Our state legislature is at it of basketball, the life lessons taught by Coach James Toth again (or still). this season will have a lasting Instead of trying to develop effect on all the basketball legislation to protect the citiplayers of Wahama High zens of Ohio, they are trying to School. . empower the Department of The touching moment of Health with the ability to hide, respect referred to earlier cover up and refuse to share occurred during the traditional vital information concerning "cutting of the nets" after the health issues, such as cancer ball game.

Paul Stinson Cheshire, Ohio Neighborliness lives Dear Editor: I promised I'd give a frrsthand impression of my Red Cross disaster experiences with folks in the Gallipolis area, but had to wait until I got home to my friendly word processor. This was my third Red Cross disaster experience along the Ohio River, so I came into your country Feb. 24 with some small knowledge of the place, the people and conditions. Really enjoyed experiences with whole communities who were my kind of folks. My work with the Red Cross takes me into the homes of perhaps a dozen families a day. And in the East, I'm more than occasionally greeted at the door with "what are you going to give me?" But the folk s in southern Ohio are more likely than not to turn that comment around I 80 degrees when they come to the door. What an uplift to hear a typical invitation, "Say there, why don't you come in and have a cup of coffee?" Neighborliness in your area goes even funher. Been to a lot of other areas of the country where folks in adjoining houses were no help at all in helping track down someone who was reported to need aid from the Red Cross. But not around your area. More often than not, a neighbor would give me a complete biographical sketch of someone nearby whose home in uninhabitable. And with that infonmation it was a lot easier to track down the storm victim's whereabouts to give them some recuvety aid. And I'm impressed that the words "please" and "than k you" are still so often in use. In a day's time around Sandusky. it's possible to conduct business in a half-dozen or more places without even once hear~ mg them used. And your area is strong on trust. Folks leave their car engines running while maki ng a quick dash to the store. And it seemed to me that several homes we visited did not even have any locking hardware 011 the door. Charlie Gibeaut Sandusky, Ohio That's the way it isn't, Walter No surprise, ideologues on both the left and the right are screaming that the media coverage of the Iraq War is slanted away from their beliefs. The sound and fury of partisans is predictable and not very important, because there are so many media outlets that the sheer amount of information Americans can potentially get obliterates any narrow agenda an individual journalist might have. As far as TV news is concerned, the reportorial flow of information is occasionally tainted by a biased remark, but this is not a serious problem, because, again, there is just so much verbiage. However, there is a philosophical divide among the broadcast anchor people, and this you should know about. In a speech at Drew University last week, Walter Cronkite harshly criticized the war and the Bush administration saying: "The arrogance of our spokespeople, even the president himself, has been exceptional, and it seems to be me they (other countries) have taken great umbrage at that. We have told them what they must do. It is a pretty dark doctrine." It seems to me that the 83l'ear-old former CBS anchor IS minimizing the fact that the Bush administration did try to work through the United Nations to disarm Iraq. And' while it is true that many in the Bush administration could do with a Dale Carnegie seminar, it is also true that America was royally &aturbap f!:tmtf -&mttntl • Page AS Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis • Point Pleasant Saturday, March 22, 2003 825 Third Avenue • Gallipolis, Ohio Bette Pearce Managing Editor Saturday, March 22, 2003 Bill O'Reilly screwed in the U.N. Security Council by our so-called allies. Ask Colin Powell what he thinks of the way the French have conducted themselves. But the real problem with Cronkite's analysis is that he looks at the situation from an international P?int of view, while the president and some other newsmen, including your humble correspondent, look at the Iraq conflict from an American perspective. Walter Cronkite is an internationalist. That is, he sees other countries in the world as being on an equal footing with America when vital situations arise. A few other national TV anchormen are internationalists as well in varying degrees. But there are major problems with covering the American war on terror from an internationalist point of view. As a journalist I want to be fair, but I also want President Bush to put the protection of Americans above the economic and political concerns of othiler countries. Call me a jin~oist, but your family's secunty is. more important to me than Gerhard Schroeder's political career. I understand that some countries are angry that Mr. Bush rejected the Kyoto environmental agreement, and, like Bill Clinton, I feel their pain. But not nearly as much as the pain I felt watching 3,000 of my countrymen die on 9-11. So if some egomaniacal leader like Jacques Chirac is going to protect Saddam Hussein because he doesn' t like Bush's style, I am going to knock Chirac. Hard. But Uncle Walter doesn't see it that way. He sees the war on Iraq as "pre-emptive" and unnecessary because it doesn't have worldwide validation. Mr. Cronkite believes that the agendas of other countries should be considered when. making decisions about the defense of Americans, even when those agendas are based on greed and petty politics. I strongly disagree. The truth is that Walter Cronkite stood by and said little while the Vietnam War raged out-of-control in the 1960s. Finally, he confronted the Iies and deceit the Johnson administration perpetrated on the American public, but Cronkite's conversion came verx late in that deadly game. When President Clinton bombed Milosevic's Belgrade, circumventing the United Nations and ignoring the objections of France and Russia, Cronkite said nothing publicly. Maybe he didn ' t notice that the bombing was "pre-emptive" and that many nations disapproved. So while Mr. Cronkite is an internationalist, he seems to be a selective one. But even if he were consistent in giving equal weight to the poli cies of other nations vis-a-vis the security of the USA, he would .be wrong. American journalists colnmenting about the war on terror are obligated to inform their listeners or readers i r they see the world as a !eve I playing field. If Walter Cronkite believes that tl1 e French view of the terror threat is just as valid as the American view, than he needs to clearly state that sn people like me can challenge him . Look at it his way. In cuvering World War II, th ~ young Cronkite would ha ve never given the Spanish view of the war the same weight a' the American view. Francu 's Spain was sympathetic to Hitler. As a responsibl e reporter, Cronkite could not have possibly done that. Yet, in the war on terror. Cronkite and others like hin 1 want a "w()rld consensus" 011 how to deal with villains like Saddam. This is truly m.i>· guide(l and might even hedangerous to the health "r Americans. But Franci sn• Franco would love it. (Vereran TV news ancl1or Bill O'Reilly is hosr of ,,,,.

Eventually, Tawney outgrew the original studio and moved into the Masonic Lodge building at 424 Second Ave. In 1946, he purchased the building next door, Claude Wall's Jewelry Store at 422 Second, where Tawney's Jewelers and Studio are today. A member of numerous organizations aside from the Lions, Tawney opened the first AAA Club in Gallipolis, helped arrange to buy the land for the Gallipolis Shrine Club in .1945, and with his son David, served as a strin~er for WSAZ-TV in Huntmgton, W.Va., in the 1960s and '70s.

"David and I taught school together and I knew the family for many years. "Max was always bubbly, cheerfu I and energetic. I always thought a lot of him," he added. Others remembered Tawney as a caring, compassionate individual whose mischievous side would occasionally pop up. Cheryl Enyart of Gallipolis said her father, veteran newsman Dick Thomas, once attended a meeting with Tawney, who gave Thomas an exploding cigar. The cigar went off, and Thomas removed the exploded section and smoked the rest.

In later years, Tawney began committing ac.counts of his travels to places such as Iran and Bali to paper, many of them appearing in the Gallipolis Daily Tribune and Sunday · Times-Sentinel.

American troops who raised the Stars and Stripes over the city were quickly ordered to take it down, in compliance with Bush's oft-stated statement that Americans are fighting in Iraq as liberators, not conquerers. Pentagon ofricials have long planned for an attack they called "shock and awe." They held off for two nights, first because Bush ordered the opening strike Wednesday night against Saddam and then because officials hoped Iraqi capitulation would make it unnecessary. . Even with the war continuing , diplomati c jockeying broke out over its aftermath.

Families bond during Mason County Outdoor Youth Expo BY KANDY BOYCE Saturday, March 22, 2003 Baseball Prep Softball Williamson becomes closer in Reds' shift BY JoE KAY Associated Press SARASOTA, Fla. Let's go over this slowly. Closer Danny Graves has done nothing but relieve during his major league career - and gotten pretty good at it, saving 30 games for three consecutive seasons. He's now one of the Cincinnati Reds' starters. Scott Williamson had wanted nothing more than to start in the majors but has bounced from role to role after winning the NL rookie of the year in 1999. He's two years removed from reconstructive elbow surgery. Now, he's the closer. . At least, that's the plan. With their wealth of relievers and their shortage of starters, the Reds have ·decided to try an experiment. Their starter is a closer, and their closer was a starter only three years ago. Got it? The confusion makes sense to Reds manager Bob Boone, who thinks that Graves' best pitch - his sinker - makes him a.better candidate to start than to finish. Williamson's best pitches are his fastball and split-finger fastball, which make him a nice fit for the ninth inning. "With the way Danny pitches, he's not a true clos· er type," Boone said. "He's not the kind of guy that comes in and throws the ball by you. Danny is really a ground-ball type of pitcher. . "Scott Williamson is more of a prototypical closer. He's a power pitcher.

Freshman pitcher Shobe pitched a consistent game and gave up only one run on three hits. Shobe used an off-speed pitch and good control to strike out five while walking only three. The game started slowly for both teams as Winfield and Point fleasant ( 1-2 ) found no success at the plate in the first inning. The Lady Knights didn't have a runner reach base until Shobe got a walk in the bottom of the fourth inning. The only scoring came in the top of the second inning when the Lady Generals strung together two base hits and scored Rachel Walker on a sacrifice fly. Highland helped her own cause with one of Winfield's three hits that scored the game's only run. Winfield threatened again in the fourth inning when Whitney Forbes overthrew first base and allowed Winfield to put a baserunner on third with no one out. Forbes redeemed herself just one play later when ' Please see Indians, B:J Please see Knights, B:J Hager named finalist for 'V' Award Staff report KENT, Ohio - Kent State University women's basketball player Tiffanie Hager of Bidwell, Ohio, has been selected as one of 10 finalists for the V Foundation Comeback Award, the organization announced recently.

There's more to it than strikeouts, of course. In order for it to work, Graves is going to have to get accustomed to throwing a lot of innings at one time.

James made pull-up jumpers, crisp passes, showed off hi s ballhandling skills and had two hi gh-llying dunks but he didn 't win the game by himself. Romeo Travis had 16 points, Dru Joyce III scored 15 on 5-of-7 3-point shooting and Corey Jones had nine by making 3-of-5 beyond the arc for the balanced Fighting Irish (23- 1).

DeQuan Owens had 13 points, Sirjo Welch added nine and Raylon Almon scored eight for Beechcroft, which was playing in the state tournament for the third time in five seasons. The Cougars improved immensely from last season's semifinal - a state tournament record 51-point loss (83-31) to St. Bernard Roger Bacon.

Oliver started off the inning with a shot into right field that gave Point Pleasant their first hit of the night and gave the Lady Knights a hope of tying the game. Alicen Casto and Whitney Forbes advanced Oliver to second and gave Kendra Riffle the chance to tie the game. Riffle took the first pitch and hit a high lly ball to right-center field but the ball sailed a little too long and was caught to end the game.

Pleasant, WV �ACROSS Forecast is cloudy.for friends giving spring kitchen shower DEAR ABBY: "Allison," the daullhter of a longtime friend, ts being married in grand fashion this summer. Another friend and I planned to give her a kitchen and tool shower in the spring. The other day, Allison called and told me she didn't think the theme we chose would "net" her the caliber of gifts she wants. Then she had the nerve to tell me to change the theme to a crystal, silver and china shower. My friend and I are hurt that Allison doesn't consider our party plan to be good enough. We don't want to alienate Allison or her family, but we also think she needs to learn a lesson about being a gracious recipient. The invitations announcing the original theme have already been printed. We would like your objective opinion about what to do. •• MIFFED IN THE MIDWEST DEAR MIFFED: Inform the bride-to-be that the invitations have already been printed and it's too late to change the theme. This doesn't mean you're throwing cold water on Allison's wish to receive "high-caliber" gifts. It simply means another friend, aunt or cousin will have the honor of hosting an additional shower with a theme · of Allison's Saturday, March 22, 2003 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis, Ohio • Point Pleasant, WV Page 86 • 6aturba!' QJ:ime& -6entinel Dear Abby ADVICE choosing. DEAR ABBY: I am the mother of a 9-year-old boy. Are there any specific signs I should look for regarding when he is ready to be told the facts of life? His friends at school told him that kissing is "having sex." I am afraid our son will get the wrong idea, because he sees his father and me kissing several times every day. •• MILWAUKEE MOM DEAR MOM: The time to talk to your son is now, before he absorbs any more misinformation from his friends. Children are maturing earlier than ever before. Add to that the messages they get -- both s~ken and unspoken -- from hving in our society. and regrettably, the fantasy of an "innocent childhood" is laughable. Parents should be mindful of this, and start the discussion when the opportunity anses. DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend, "Hector," showed up at my office the day before Valentine's Day with a dozen red roses. I was thrilled, because we' d been having major "relationship issues," and he hadn't given me flowers in ages. When Hector handed me the bouquet, he informed me that he had extracted two roses for the receptionists at the front desk. When I told him he shouldn't have, hi s answer was, "You should be happy I'm nice to your co-workers -they're probably envious that you have such a good man." At that point I asked him who he was trying to impress - them or me? To make matters worse, Hector then announced that the next day (Valentine's Day) he would be hooking up with a female friend who was in town. He planned to take her, his brother and another female friend out to dinner. I was not included. To add insult to injury, Hector had the nerve to ask me to baby-sit his brother's kids. The out-of-town friend is someone we have both known for years, but every time she visits, my "boyfriend" excludes me. What do you make of all this? Sign me ... DITCHED IN DEL MAR, CALIF. DEAR DITCHED: Wake up and smell the flowers. Hector likes to impress many ·ladies and is not read}' to make an exclusive commllment to you or anyone. Be grateful you found out now, and move on. Your signature says it all. You have, indeed, been ditched. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother. Pauline Phillips.

" It was rewarding in a way," Gertrude said of the expetience. "At Halloran, the soldiers knew they were back in the States and they could contact their families by phone. " It was more upbeat than overseas, but it was pretty positive there too, because when they got over their injuries they would go home, the front or whatever for them at the time,"' she added. She journeyed to New York on the Queen Elizabeth and returned to Gallia County in March 1946. She and Tom Hysell, whom she had known before joining the ANC, married the following September and lived for a few years in Columbus betore returning to Gallia to stay.
