THE EDMONTON JOURNAL. Thursday. September 24, IW C7 Lifestyle Hold on to your phone cards i Dear Ann Landers: Please suggest to your readers that they memorize their long-distance charge card numbers and make sure that they are alone when making such calls. Anyone who gets hold of a charge card number can call anywhere in the world. When my son was in Korea on field duty, someone broke into his locker and stole his wallet.

Although the wallet was returned with his calling card intact, copied the code number. The phone company took note of the large amount charged to our phone and alerted me. When I told the woman at that my son's wallet had been stolen, she cancelled the card immediately. At that time the charges amounted to $485. When the bill arrived 10 days later, it was $3,594.

Almost all calls were placed within 13 days. Whoever stole my son's wallet had either given out the code or Ann Landers sold it. Calls had been made from Korea to all over the United States. There were also calls from Brooklyn and the Bronx to Florida and California, from Freeport to New Orleans and one from Nashville to Korea. Isn't it sad that someone would do this to a young man who is fC jettons For Kife Classics at vLw 4 DUMMY! Look what's back.

Your letter will go a long way toward alerting people to this shameful scam. Thanks for getting the word out. Dear Ann lenders: Several readers have complained about clergymen who mispronounced the names of the deceased at funerals as well as brides and grooms during marriage services. Those letters brought back memories. In 1965, when my father passed away, the priest got his juniors and seniors mixed up and the eulogy he gave was for me and not my dad.

I was amused rather than angered because I had been accustomed to hearing myself pronounced dead. In October 1942, 1 checked with my draft board because men younger than I were being called into service. The clerk's exact words were, "Why didn't you keep your big mouth shut? We have you listed as dead." I am "Raf feity" in Glen Ely III. Dear Raff: I'm glad to know you are alive and well and that your sense of humor is intact. Most folks wouldn't think those incidents were funny.

Your attitude is typical of the spirit that has sustained the Irish for so many centuries. "May the wind be always at your back and may the Lord hold you in the hollow of His hand." Dear Ann Landers: My wife insists that readers who write to you for advice or read your column are morons. I maintain that they are either idiots or Neanderthals. Who is right? I would also like to know what qualifications you possess to give advice to readers with pressing problems when you are not a psychiatrist, psychologist or even a social worker. Readers on the East Coast Dear E.C.: The only qualification I have for this job is enough common sense to realize that no one person can know everything.

For this reason I have cultivated a stellar array of consultants. In my opinion you and your wife are not morons, idiots or Neanderthals. You are simply people who like to read what their fellow humans are up to, and along the way, maybe learn something.
