1 The Daily News I Longview. Washington Monday, March 13, 1972 ANN LANDERS Tribute to father tells of teaching srk. 1 7 1 1 mmJ T'L Thursday. She asks how I'm feeling and who died. Then she puts the kids on.

They say. "Hello, Grandma, the dog wants to talk to you." I sit and hold the phone like a dumbbell and I don't hear anything. All of a sudden the dog yelps, like somebody gave him a sock and then my daughter hollers at them to leave the dog alone. I get to listen tc a whole fight no conversation, just a lot of screaming and yelling. I don't want to hang up because I think maybe someone will come on the line and say something.

I have sat with that crazy receiver in my hand for as long as 20 minutes. Please tell me what to do about this. It spoils my whole day. Thank you, Ann. High Blood Pressure Dear H.B.P.: When your daughter calls next Thursday tell her you'd like to talk to the kids but not to the dog.

Ask her to stand by the phone and instruct the kids to say goodbye when they've finished so you'll know when to hang up. Dear Ann Landers: I just read the letter from "Mum" who complains that her two beautiful daughters don't have any dates because they are tall. She said all the tall guys are taken by the "sawed-off, runty dames," and she thinks it's a dirty shame. I happen to be a girl five feet tall and I date a lot short boys as well as tall ones. It doesn't make any difference to me.

I have observed that many tall girls are popular, so maybe "Mum's" statuesque beauties have rotten personalities to go with their beautiful faces. Tell her, will you please? Happy Pee Wee Dear Happy: It would be a waste of time. If love is blind, mother love is also deaf and dumb. Dear Ann Landers: A few days ago my best friend died. He was my teacher, my idol, my symbol of strength and protection.

He was also my father. Last year on my seventeenth birthday I obtained my driver's license. Three weeks later I had a minor accident. I was scared to death of what my father would say when the police called him. I wasn't hurt but I had a few scratches and was dazed by the impact.

The moment he saw me he hugged me ancf tried to calm my ragged nerves. I kept repeating, "I'll never drive again." He said, "Oh yes you will. In fact you are going to drive me home." Then he told me about Thomas Alva Edison how he made the first electric light bulb after seven years of hard work and experimentation. Edison handed the precious bulb to his laboratory assistant to put away. The assistant accidentally dropped it.

Of course the bulb broke into a thousand pieces. Edison went to work on a second bulb. After he had completed it he handed it to his assistant again to prove he had confidence in him. I knew how the assistant must have felt when I was behind the wheel of that car, driving my dad home. This was only one of the lessons I learned from this remarkable man.

I am thankful for having had him for 18 years. I hope you will find room in your column for my letter. Perhaps it will help the lucky ones who still have a dad to appreciate him a little moio. A Loving Daughter Dear Daughter: What a beautiful tribute. When I read your letter I thought about my own father.

He, too, was a remarkable man and I miss him every day of my life. Dear Ann Landers: My married daughter telephones me once a week. Big deal. It's the same routine every Af VFW Boy Scout Troop 301, sponsored by VFW Post 1045, donated a flagpole at the VFW hall Saturday where Sheriff Chuck Gill spoke briefly about scouting and VFW programs.

THIS WEEK YEAR Horoscope Tuesday, March 14, 1972 money" in an attempt to obtain two government reports on the underground nuclear test in the Aleutians to the Supreme Court. The reports were made by the Council on Environmental Quality and the Environmental Protection Agency before the test. She expects the case, which will "define what our rights are," to be heard by the Court in November.

Other questions she commented on for the group of about 25 persons, including several campaign supporters from other counties, were: Welfare It's unfair to characterize those on welfare as wanting to live off the taxpayers and her main approach to the problem is to find jobs for those who are able to work. She said we need more compassion, because "there are going to be people in our society that are less fortunate than we." Job training Many jobs available do not require a college degree, so some prestige should be given to job training courses. Too many people have been brought up with the idea that a college degree is needed to be a success, she said. Equal pay for women A person should be paid according to what is contributed to the economy, and "one of the real virtues of the women's movement is that these facts (about unequal pay are being brought out." Foreign policy The U.S. should decide not to use its power to interfere unilaterally in other countries' internal matters, and should channel aid through the United Nations for peacekeeping, economic assistance and humanitarian agencies.

"For too long we've operated our foreign policy with the idea that we could buy friends." The reason the United Nations has little power now, she said, is because the U.S. has not made it powerful. Backers of Patsy Mink for president said they chose her as their candidate because they admired her for honesty and humanitarianism. When one supporter said 4,000 people signed the petitions putting her on the Oregon ballot she said. "I'm the first female draftee" and got a cheer.

She spent the morning in Astoria, attended a luncheon at Wauna and went to Portland from St. Helens. The petitions were filed in Salem Friday. By FRAN KAISER Daily News Staff Writer ST. HELENS Everyone pulled his chair into a circle around the tiny but forceful U.S.

Rep. Patsy Mink, who was at the Village Inn to discuss issues Saturday. The Hawaii Democrat placed on the Oregon presidential primary ballot by petition answered questions without hesitation on compulsory arbitration, welfare, foreign policy, women's rights and government secrecy. She said her campaign will be based only on issues, not personalities, and she will campaign only in Oregon. About one of the issues, she said she will not readily submit to arbitration for transportation workers because it would "destroy the whole notion" that they have a right to bargain.

"What we will be doing is turning tnese workers into quasi-govcrn-ment employes to the degree that they would not have the right to strike." She wondered if it would lead to nationalization of the transportation industry and said the arbitration issue should be studied in its total perspective. Difficulties caused by the West Coast dock strike were not due to defects in present law, she contended, but by President Nixon's refusal to invoke the Taft-Hartley law for 104 days. Previous administrations sought injunctions immediately to stop dock strikes for 80 days, and the parties usually reached a settlement soon, she said. She said President Nixon delayed invoking the Taft-Hartley law in the recent strike "because of his desire to promote legislation" like the transportation strikes bill. About government secrecy she said bureaucrats obsessed with secrecy probably watch too many television shows, and it's an "utter disgrace we have to rely on Jack Anderson to tell us what's going on." A president could make a "real contribution" because if a president had a policy of open communications, other government departments would too, she said.
