WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 1976 THE DAILY COURIER, CONNELLSVILLE, PA. PAGE FIVE Military Policewomen Share Duties With Men By D.J. HILL CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. (UPI) Margaret Sunday standi watch 12 hours at a time on a narrow road here, in good weather and bad, with 15 minute breaks every hour in a nearby sentry station. As she repeats the watch-and- rest routine from 7 p.m.

one day to 7 a.m. the next, the seven pounds of equipment around her waist seem to double in weight: a pistol, a nightstick, five extra rounds of ammunition and a spray can of deterrent gas. Mrs. Sunday is a military policeman in the Marine Corps, MARY SHAW Sez: Forgive And Forget One day I heard a little girl say to another, "I'll forgive you, but I'm not going to forget what you did to me!" I thought there are many adults who feel the same way. Is it really forgiving when we insist on remembering the things we are forgiving? Many times people do things to us that make us unhappy and sometimes cause grief, yet if we plan to forgive them, let's do it and then let's forget all about it, too.

If we do not forgive and forget we cannot expect our wrongdoings to be forgiven or forgotten. 1 believe the happiest and most contented people are those who give others the forgetting along with the forgiving, and go a step farther and give out a special belief that the next time we will be better and not need so much forgiving and forgetting. When we are tempted to say what the little girl said, why not stop and think a minute before we speak so freely? In cooking it's easy to forget the simple little things which turn ordinary food into something special. Take cooked green beans, add a little twist and you come up with savory green beans which are ever so good. SAVORY GREEN BEANS 2 1 lb.

cans green beans 1 tsp. summer savory 2 tbsps. chopped canned pimento V4 cup butter tsp. salt VB tsp. pepper Method: Drain beans.

Add remaining ingredients. Heat slowly, stirring occasionally. Makes six servings. one of four women MPs at the Camp LeJeune Marine base. She pulls two such 12-hour shifts twice a month.

Even 25-degree weather last winter failed to dim her enthusiasm for the job. "I'd recommend more women to come into the field," Cpl. Sunday said in an interview. "It's exciting, and there are not that many women in it." The corps is encouraging women to enter such training, but few at Camp Lejeune have chosen to do so. "Most of the girls turned it down," Cpl.

Sunday said. "I wanted to see what it was like." Women MPs in the Marines are assigned the same duties as their male counterparts: patrolling, stopping speeders, breaking up fights, guarding entrances and handling emergencies. Cpl. Sunday said male MPs were skeptical at first of how much help women would be in the ranks, where a woman usually is teamed with a man for patrol duty. They share the job, she said, and have proved to the men they have a backup in case of problems.

"You have to back them up," she said. "If you don't, they refuse to ride with you." Violence flares often on the base of about 35,000 persons. Cpl. Sunday, who stands 5-foot-2 and weighs 120 pounds, said she commands respect for herself and doesn't let any of the male Marines force her to back down. However, she said she was frightened when she first took over the assignment nine months ago: "It happens, but I try not to show it.

You can't let them know it." Stopping a woman speeder is touchy: "If you stop a woman for speeding, the first thing she'll do is cry on a policeman's shoulder," the corporal said. "If she sees a woman there, she'll back off." She said she had had men ask her to give them a break. They even make passes at her, which she ignores. 'They'll give you every line in the book," said Cpl. Sunday, who married the MP who taught her the job.

"When you start giving people a break, you've lost your effectiveness." Another woman, Lt. Debra Baughman, commands a 29- man MP platoon at Camp Lejeune. Her job generally is supervisory, but she is called on in emergencies. "I've handled a number of rowdy individuals," she said. "I start out as a spectator, but then I step in to try to help.

I've never been hit, but I have been hit at." She said a woman-man team is useful, especially in handling domestic squabbles. "Domestic disputes are one of the most dangerous situations a policeman has to deal with. I think it's been proven, the presence of a woman has a calmative effect on both the male and female." Lt. Baughman, a law enforcement graduate of Pennsylvania State University, said the men in her platoon were apprehensive about having a woman MP in charge. In her year as platoon commander, she has had no requests for a transfer, a fact that she takes as acceptance.

The one difference that irks most women Marines is a uniform requirement. They must wear skirts instead of pants, which bothers Cpl. Sunday when she stands sentry duty in wintry weather or chases down a prisoner. Lt. Baughman agreed: "It's hard running and jumping and hurtling fences in a skirt," she said.

Because we needed the income, my wife and I rented our spare room to a young woman. I never would have done it had I known how it would affect me. This young lady has her own friends and regards me as an "old codger," but I must confess that I have been having some very impure and indecent thoughts about her.

Isn't there some medicine I can take to clear away unwanted thoughts? How about the tiny electric shocks they give rapists? (Like from two penlight batteries?) I hope you won't think I am an evil-minded old man. There must be other men past 75 with my problem. I might add, my wife cannot respond to me. DEEPDOWN DEAR DEEP: I admire your honesty and integrity. I consulted a psychiatrist about your problem, and he said that under similar circumstances, he might be proud and pleased to have such healthy masculine feelings at your age--which is nothing to be ashamed of.

But since this young woman's presence nukes you feel guilty and ashamed, why not rent the room to another "old The psychiatrist recommends that you forf et about electric shock and says there is DO medicine that will abolish sexual fan- taiiet--short of a general anesthetic. DEAR ABBY: What do you give a man who has everything? MR. AND MRS. ROBERT DILL Couple Wed In St. Rita's Diane Wettgen, daughter of Mr.

It will frost a layer cake--and taitet wonderful. I.M. SERIOUS DEAR SERIOUS: If I were with the Internal Revenue Department, I'd give him an audit! DEAR ABBY: I plan to be married soon.

We both have grown children by previous marriages. I have some property, savings, that I want my children to have, and I do not wish any of it shared with the children of my spouse-to-be. Assuming that I die first, how can this be accomplished and still allow my spouse the use of my assets during her lifetime? Are pre-nuptial agreements legally binding? Or should another written document be prepared and notarized? Could my wishes as stated in a properly executed document be ignored? Sign me "IN LOVE AND IN DOUBT" DEAR IN: Unless you want to add "IN TROUBLE" to your signature, I urge you to have all of your questions answered by your lawyer.

If you just can't tell her, please send me your name and address. I think I can help you. Thl 'Home Line By DOROTHY RITZ Dear Dorothy: Reading about the stuffed London Broil impels me to send my family's favorite--marinated London Broil. The marinade is made of two teaspoons seasoned meat tenderizer, four tablespoons dry sherry, one tablespoon soy sauce, one tablespoon honey, one teaspoon salt and one-half teaspoon monosodium glutamate. Pierce the surface of a two-to-two-and- a-half-pound flank steak at one-inch intervals with a sharp fork and let soak in the marinade for at least one hour, turning over once.

Place on broiler, brush with marinade and broil 10 to 30 minutes on each side, depending on thickness and desired doneness. Brush on rest of marinade in turning over. Add one can mushrooms with liquid for added flavor last five minutes. Remove onto cutting board, slicing diagonally into quarter-inch slices. Then return sliced meat to juice in broiler pan.

If juice has dried out too much, hot water may be added and just heat slices slightly. If too rare after slicing, returning slices to juices in broiler will take care of that. The marinade gravy tastes great on whipped potatoes. The slices are so tender they can be cut with a S. Rigenstrup This ranks at the very top of the marinated London Broils.

Dear Dorothy: Because batteries always seem to give out at the one moment you need them, I like to keep extras on hand. Is it an old wives' tale, or is it so that batteries can be stored in the Greene True. One of the largest of the manufacturers confirmed it, saying refrigeration added life expectancy. Dear Dorothy: Those who don't use nail polish often and find the bottles hard to open should coat the threads of the bottle with cold cream and store in the Sunderberg (Mrs. Ritz welcomes questions and hints.
