Ann Landers Answers Your Problems was a supper guest in the Dear Ann Landers: Please find room in your column for a subject nobody wants to talk about. I am referring to child molesting. i Recently our six year old daughter was molested by a trusted family friend. "Uncle Ed" offered to baby sit one evening. We thought it was sweet of him.

My husband and "Uncle Ed" had been close friends for years. He was the last person in the world I would have suspected as a child molester. The next morning oiir daughter told me what happened. I asked her what was wrong when she wouldn't eat and kept clinging to me. I informed my husband at once, and we decided to prosecute.

The verdict was reached yesterday. "Uncle Ed" was given one year's probation with court supervision. When we signed the complaint, we learned he was already serving two years' probation in a Notice NOTICE PUBLIC SALE Wednesday, October 24, 1979 Time: 6:00 P.M.

Tell too, they must have the guts to prosecute. Smart Too Late Dear Thank you for sharing your painful experience, Your advice is excellent.

So glad you asked to sit in my chair today! Dear Ann Landers: That letter describing the hurt feelings of students who are always chosen last to be on "the team" was special interest to me because I was always the guy no captain wanted. But I never felt ashamed, because I knew that one person cannot excel in everything. I was poor in sports, but when' it came to Latin or math, I was No. 1. I was also sure the captains would soon be asking me for help.

I cannot think of a better method of forming two teams with equal talent than the alternate selection system. It may create some embarrassment, but it is fair. Carl E.R., San Francisco. Dear Carl: You were fortunate to be able to eliminate the pain of being passed over by intellectualizing. Most young people can't do that.

You said you couldn't think of a better method of getting two teams with equal talent. Well, hundreds of readers could. The best suggestion is this one: The two captain's get together and make their selections in private. The names of the players are then announced. No one knows who was the first to be chosen or last.

This method is equitable, neat, and eliminates hurt feelings. Dear Ann Landers: Please tell your readers again that if they are going to take any kind of painkiller, they should not drink a drop of alcohol. My husband could have lost his life because he did not know this. Bennie was always scared to death of the dentist. He had to have two teeth pulled yesterday, so before he left the house he drank a pint of vodka.

The dentist gave him a double shot of Novocain. After the extraction, Bennie felt pretty good and got in his car to drive home. He passed out just before turning on to the expressway. Lucky for him, he pulled over to the shoulder, and a police car was there in a jiffy. I felt good about writing this letter because I may have saved a life today.

Holyoke, Reader Dear Hoke: How right you are! Booze and drugs can be a deadly combination. Add a motor vehicle and you have an invitation to suicide, murder or both. Focus On Fort Littleton Part German Shepherd Collie. 3 yrs. old.

Will (Cont'd from Page 1) support to the Polisarios. The United States, he said, will consult with Saudi Arabia, which strongly supported the sale of defensive arms to Morocco, and France to set up a negotiating effort but will not be involved in the actual negotiations. He said an envoy will be sent to Morocco within the next two weeks to work out the exact conditions for the sale and to settle the link between the arms sale and Morocco's agreement to begin negotiations. The basic problem that would have to be settled is with whom Morocco would negotiate. Although Hassan has agreed to negotiations with Algeria, the Algerians say his negotiating partner should be the Polisario representatives a condition Hassan has refused.

The United States had previously sold arms to Morocco, including F5 fighters, the official said, but Morocco had been forbidden to use the arms except for national self-defense. He said the United States is investigating reports the fighters were used in the western Sahara in violation of that restriction. Nevertheless, he said, it was decided Morocco should be sold more than "a token amount" of modern arms to be used against the Polisario attacks. The exact number of arms in the sale, which also will include trucks and armored personnel have to be negotiated, the official said. The Moroccans say they have guaranteed financing for the purchase, apparently from Saudi Arabia.

By Carter Spending Issue Is Raised WASHINGTON (UPl) President Carter says he and Sen.

"Senator Kennedy is much more inclined toward the old philosophy of pouring out new programs and new money to meet a social he said. "I'm much more inclined to try to make existing programs work efficiently and start up new programs only when it's absolutely necessary.

Carter said he favors "much stronger defense commitments" than Kennedy's record indicates. In reply to a question, the resident also said he does not hink the senator, by virtue of his fiartie. any more worthy than Carter to share John F. Kennedy's public legacy. Carter gave the interview Saturday after sharing the stage with the senator and two generations of the Kennedy family at the dedication of a John F.

Kennedy Library in Boston, The text of the interview was released Sunday. Carter said he looks forward with "anticipation and confidence" to the 1980 presidential race. He said his victory in preliminary Florida caucuses may be a good indication of things to come, he expects to do well in the Massachusetts primary, "and I think I'll win throughout the country."
