D-2 UFE3TYLB Saturday, December 21, 1991 Green Bay Preee-Gazette From D-1 Grieving parent resents jolly cards p.m. and Tonight at Nine from 9 to If you or your readers receive a mailing that doesn't conform to these standards, please contact your local postmaster or the Postal Inspection Service, which will then handle all complaints. When a mailing violates the law, the mailer faces civil penalties for Ann Landers ''s Personal dvice Dear Ann! Although Christmas for most people is a happy occasion, it can be a very aad time for others. I suggest that card senders ask themselves if it is possible for those on the receiving end to have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We lost our daughter two years ago.

Christmas for us is now a very sad time. Just a simple note saying "thinking of you" would be appreciated. Every time we receive a Christmas card wishing us a jolly holiday season, I ask myself how people can be so insensitive. How can we have a happy holiday season when our daughter, who was the light of our Uvea, is dead. Please don't tell me I need counseling because I've had plenty.

The only ones who can possibly understand how I feel are those who have lost a child. I hope you will print this letter so folks who send cheerful Yule greetings to families in mourning will know they should be more sensitive. Grieving Parent Dear riend: The cards you consider hurtful are expressions of official-looking document offering to obtain a Social Security number for her young child for a fee, of course. As chairman of the Postal Operations and Services Subcommittee, I am extremely concerned about the increasing emergence of deceptive mail. Experiences like "Hoodwinked's" are no longer the exception, they are the norm.

As a result of such fraudulent mailings, I sponsored the Deceptive Mailings Prevention Act of 1990. This legislation requires the use of a disclaimer for any solicitations by non-governmental organizations that use official-looking emblems, titles, seals and insignias that could be interpreted as implying federal endorsement. "This is not a government document" must appear on the envelope directly below the postage stamp. In addition, "This product or service (or organization) has not been approved or endorsed by the federal government" must appear in typeface, which is at least twice the size of normal typeface. friendship from people who want you to know they are thinking of you.

i Please contact The Compassionate Friends and ask for their literature. This is a national organisation made up of parents whose children have died. They are able to offer the kind of emotional support that it unavailable anywhere else. Send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to: The Compassionate Friends, P.O. Box 3698, Oak Brook, 111.

Dear Ann: You recently printed a letter from Hoodwinked in the Midwest" a woman who had received an Council spreads the word on r4 plan Page People false representation. I hope all people who find themselves in a situation like that of "Hoodwinked in the Midwest" will report deceptive mailers. The more people who come forward, the better the chance the government and the Postal Service will be able to stop fraudulent mailings. Sincerely Frank McCloskey, U.S.

90045 reading It's been the luck of the draw for Georgette LeVeque of Munising, recently. First she was selected as winner of the Packers Skybox Sweepstakes prize, then she won a car at the Oneida Bingo Center's anniversary bash. Accompanied by husband Tim LeVeque and other family members and friends, she watched the recent Packers-Detroit Lions game from the skybox at Lambeau Field. 'That's the best way to go," she says of the experience. No newcomer to Packers games, she knows how cold it can get in the stands, she says.

The weekend, presented by the Green Bay Area Visitor and Convention Bureau, also treated LeVeque and her 11 guests to dinner with legendary Packers linebaker Ray Nitschke and wife Jackie at Brogan's Restaurant; hotel accommodations at the Midway Hotel and a $500 shopping spree at the Green Bay Packer Hall of Fame. "I bought Packers jerseys for everybody," she says. She is employed in the accounting department at Hiawatha Telephone Co.

Fox Valley radio had a significant change at 7:45 a.m. Thursday. WHBY took over the 1150 spot on the AM dial. Gone is the previous occupant, WYNE. Strange aa it Bounds, the move had the encouragement of the Federal Communications Commission, which wants wider spacing on the dial.

The owner of WHBY paid almost $1 million for WYNE, then took the station off the air.

Earnest's entire existence is focused on one goal: Getting a squirrel. We have a large battalion of squirrels here at the Institute, scampering from tree to tree, and Earnest spends hours racing around beneath them, barking the enticing message that they should please come down so she can eat them.

The squirrels never do this, but sometimes they scamper along the top of the fence, which forms a sort of Rapid Transit Squirrel Monorail. The fence is high enough so that Earnest can't reach the top, but whenever an Express Squirrel comes scampering along, Earnest races alongside, barking furiously, gaining speed, sprinting harder and harder, barking louder, becoming a blur now, faster and faster until BONK she runs headfirst at approximately 20 miles per hour into a tree that has been located in the same spot for 30 years. We personally have watched Earnest hit this tree THREE TIMES, although that is probably only a small fraction of the actual total. These impacts have caused no discernible damage to Earnest We think that automobile manufacturers should stop messing around with safety gimmicks such as air bags, and start making car bumpers out of the material Earnest's head is made from. Whatever it is, it's definitely not brain tissue, because Earnest has yet to make even the slightest effort to avoid the tree.

The tree, on the other hand, is definitely moving away from the fence. Barry it a syndicated columnist. striptease acts pen-pal relationship with Cronkite's mom.

Zippy has no idea how large these dogs are: all he can see is a snout, which is about his size. He is firmly convinced that he can kick the snout's butt, if it would only come out and fight like a Every day he gets more insulting, barking remarks about the Barts' mother, driving them into' an insane frenzy of rage.

We're getting so sick of the noise that we're thinking about throwing Zippy over the fence to see how tough he is when confronted with more than just the nasal sector of an opposing dog.
