THE EVENING NEWS, SAULT STE. MARIE, MAR. 2, 1972 IT Abortion Reform Backers File 218,000 Signatures Remnants of pickup-type camper box are shown above after the unit was destroyed by a blast Tuesday afternoon. According to Sault Ste. Marie fire department officials, who answered the alarm at 3:35 p.m., the unit, belonging to Paul Theriauit of 1153 E.

Portage, just exploded. No one ANN LANDERS SAYS ii Dear Ann Landers: You've said repeatedly in your column that an adopted child should be told early that he was adopted, that to do otherwise could cause serious emotional damage. The experts seem to have definite views on the subject, but I've never heaard an adopted child quoted on how he feels about it. My mother told me I was adopted when I was about four years old. She read me a story from a book about a "chosen" child and how much the mommy and daddy wanted him.

When she finished reading I said, 'That's a nice story but I'm not adopted." My mother said, "Yes you are." and that was the end of the can't remember feeling upset or traumatized. It never made any difference to me. I never thought about it when I was growing up and I still don't. I am nearly 20 now and our family life is far from total sweetness and light. We disagree on religion, politics and sex but in a crisis everyone comes through.

Deep down, we love and respect one another. These people who raised me are my parents in every sense of the world. They have taught me how to live and how to love. I can never thank them enough. lam Your child Dear Friend: Thank yon for a letter that Is sure to touch the heart of.

every adoptive parent. I will not print the name of your city because thousands of adoptive parents would like to believe it was written by their child. Let's let them. Dear Ann Landers: Our widower father will be celebrating his 65th birthday in a few months and my sister and I want to give a sin-prise party for him. The other evening we sat down with our two aunts to discuss the guest list and ran into a fantastic pile of problems.

It seems that several members of Dad's family are not speaking terms with Mom's relatives. Also, some of Dad's relatives do not speak to each other. We considered a variety of seating arrangements and various techniques for staggering the hours so that the battlers would not encounter one another. It became Presbyterian Circles Meet PICKFORD The circles of the Pickford Presbyterian Women's Association held their February meetings with the following hostesses: The Esther circle met with Mrs. Harold Walker with 11 members present.

(Evening News Photo by Tom Kirkbride) 150 Indians From County In College About 150 Indians from Chippewa county are attending college under Bureau of Indian. Affairs scholarships, according to records of the Original Band of Chippewa Indians and their heirs. The scholarships are open to persons who can prove one- quarter or more Indian blood and meet college entrance requirements. They cover tuition, books, board and room, according to the Band's registrar Henry Olmstead. The government, he said, is anxious to encourage education of Indian lawyers, doctors, nurses and other skilled occupations, and he has been receiving student inquiries at the rate of one a week recently.

Inquiries may be made of Olmstead or Band president Fred Hatch in the Sault or through the employment assistance technician, Mrs. Irma Parrish at Brimley. PICKFORD BRIEFS PICKFORD Mrs. George Slater has returned to her home here after a six weeks' vacation. Mr.

The boss grumbles that, if it's true the devil mak-as work for idle hands, he's going to hire him as personnel manager. terrifically complicated and after four hours of switching and shifting, many problems were still unresolved.

At midnight my husband marched into the living room in his bathrobe and announced, "This is ridiculous! Invite them all and to hell with it." the aunts insisted it would be catastrophic and would result in raw feelings and unpleasantness for many people, especially Dad. What do you say? Lee Dear Lee: I'm with your husband. If any relative does not approve of the guest list he can leave. Moreover, I predict his departure would serve only to improve the calibre of the party. Dear Ann Landers: Some women slip in and out of the menopause with no trouble.

But for others it can be very trying. When a hot flash hits me I turn red from my neck up. My face registers a vivid blush and I am very embarrassed by this neon advertisement that I am in the change of life. My doctor has advised me against taking medication because of a family history of cancer so I must let nature take its course. But what do I do about a co-worker who draws attention to my red neck and florid face whenever she sees it? This woman is sweet and kind and apparently unaware of my anguish.

What do you suggest? Middle-Aged Embarrassment in Asheville Dear Middle; I'm 1500 miles away. You work with the woman five days a week. And you ask ME to solve a problem that you could have solved months ago with one simple sentence. Sample: "Please cut it out." Now it's in print. Hand it to her.

Don't flunk your chemistry test. Love is more than one set of glands calling to another. If you have trouble making a distinction you need Ann's booklet, "Love Or Sex And How To Tell The Difference." Send a long, self- addressed, stamped envelope with your request and 35 cents in coin to this newspaper. (c) 1972 Publishers-Hall Syndicate LANSING. Mich.

Backers of an abortion reform drive filed 218.000 signatures with state elections officials Wednesday, some 5.000 more than needed to put on the November ballot a proposal permitting abortion by choice up to the 20th week of pregnancy. However, they said at a news conference, the signature-collection campaign will continue through March to provide an extra margin against invalidations. The goal is 250,000 signatures. Michigan law permits abortion only to save the life of the mother. Attempts to liberalize this provision have been thwarted in the legislature.

A Senate-passed measure which was derailed in the House would have permitted abortion by choice up to the 80th wi-ek of pregnancy for a woman who had lived in Michigan that long. The petition campaign was tmdertaken last fall by an organization known as the Michigan Coordinating Committee for Abortion Law Reform. Among the leaders were Dr. Jack Stack, an Alma physician; Sen. Gilbert Bursley, Arbor: and Rep.

Richard Allen, The group set up a headquarters office in Lansing, working with paid and volunteer personnel. Backers had set earlier targets for collecting the total signatures needed, but expressed they would reach their goal despite falling behind their own timetables. In mid-January, the count was 139,000. Unlike the measure in the legislature, the abortion reform law proposed in the petition campaign would not carry a residency requirement. Technically, the issue will not go to the ballot until after the legislature is given 40 days in which to enact the legislation.

However, chances of legislative approval are considered nil in view of the deadlock over the Named To Dean's List A Mackinac County student has named to the Dean's List of Bob Jones University, Greenville, S.C., for the first semester. ancy Marie Nye, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Nye of Hessel, was among the 47 Michigan students who qualified with at least a average. Miss Nye is a junior in the Cole College of Arts and Science.

less liberal bill now stalled in the House. Coincidentally with Wednesday's announcement, a three- judge federal panel ruled in Trenton. N.J., that the New Jersey law permitting abortion only to save the mother's life is unconstitutional because it violates a woman's right to privacy. The court said that up the fourth month of pregnancy, a woman's right to decide whether she bears a child transcends the rights of the embryo. With the abortion reform proposal appearing now to be a certainty for the November ballot, Michigan voters will have at least two questions to decide.

The other is whether the state should have Daylight Savins Time. Want Ashbrook And McCloskey In Primary LANSING, Mich, i The Republican State Central Committee has asked that Reps. Paul McCloskey of California and John Ashbrook of Ohio be listed along with President Nixon on Michigan's presidential primary election ballot May The central committee made the request Wednesday in a letter to Secretary of State Richard Austin, who is to file no later than Friday a list of "individuals generally advocated by the national news media to be potential presidential candidates."

Persons not listed have until March 17 to file nominating petitions to win a spot on the ballot. Those who are listed have the same deadline for filing affidavits indicating their willingness to be on the ballot.
