Sentinel Thursday, Aug. 28, 1980 'n Sea Living. 14-Santa Cruz Ann Landers Actions Today Make Tomorrows Dear Ann Landers: Reading aoout the 15-year-old girl who was beaten up by her father moved me to write this letter. I wish all parents could envision the day when their children get big enough to hit them back. My husband abused our four children and me.

In my ignorance I took the frustrations of my unhappy marriage out on the kids. When the boys got big enough to flatten out their father, they did. The girls escaped as soon as possible by getting jobs after school and on weekends. Today they are all married and have children. We are not welcome in their homes.

The only knowledge I have about my grandchildren is what I hear from relatives. I am grateful when they bring snapshots so I can see how much the kids have grown. I beg all parents to keep in mind that your actions today may have a big impact on what happens tomorrow. Mellowed Too Late Dear Mellowed: What a tragic story! In such situations I strongly advise counseling for the entire family. Although children who are mistreated often find it difficult to forgive, it can be achieved with skillful counseling.

Parents who beat their children are often alcoholics or mentally ill and almost always, they were beaten by THEIR parents. Some abused children live for the day to "get But this desire for reeven." venge is destructive and needs to be rooted out with professional help. Dear Ann Landers: I very much enjoyed the column on seat-belt safety, but please wake up and look around. Why are there no seat belts on school buses? Also, why don't the seats. in tthe school buses face the rear? They'd be safer.

And why don't public transportation vehicles have seat belts? The metal on those seats is an orthodontist's dream. How about some answers, Miss Know-itall? Mt. Prospect Dear Mounty: Miss, Know-it-all doesn't know the answers but she'd like to hear from someone who does. Dear Ann Landers: I was so glad when I saw that letter in your column from the woman who had arthritis of the eyes. She said all her friends laughed at her and insisted there was no such disease.

In fact, they thought she was nuts. Well, I have had the same experience. Now that the distinguished ophthalmologist from Texas has backed her up, I feel ever so much better. Sincerely, E.G., Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Dear W.B.: Many people wrote to express their gratitude for that very same letter.

And now to set the record straight: Arthritis IS indeed an inflammation of the joints, but rheumatoid arthritis often is associated with inflammation of other tissues of the body. That same disease can cause inflammation in the eyes. It is called iritis. So. the Texas doctor pointed out, you actually have iritis.

If you use this term rather than arthritis, nobody will laugh.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second article by Santa Cruzan Patricia Schroeder who attended the Non-Governmental Forum for women in Copenhagen which was in conjunction with the United Nations Mid-Decade Conference for Women. By PATRICIA SCHROEDER The first week of the conference many issues were discussed. We arrived and no child care had been provided. How can you implement policy without childcare? Many women did not have enough money to keep up with the high Danish cost of living.

It is difficult to make decisions when you do not know how you will get your next meal. At the NGO conference there were only a handful of interpreters. How could we effectively communicate? By the fourth day women had mobilized; childcare was provided, some free food, and a pool of volunteer interpreters. The United Nations declared and recognized 1975-85 as the Decade for Women. The first global Women's Conference was in 1975 in Mexico City.

There a World Plan of Action was drawn up with the goals of "Equality, Peace and Development." Fortunately the women in Copenhagen were not wearing rose-colored glasses. They took the unique opportunity to come together and utilize all possibilities. The 130 represented nations brought the word that women are not satisfied with the progress made towards the goals set in Mexico five years ago. The twin conferences were put together on meager budgets. The familiar economic pressure manged to earn the U.N.

Conference a "Good Housekeeping" seal of approval for making its money stretch. Secretary General Lucille Mair said. "Yes, we should feel Summer Art Sale Ends Labor Day very under-privileged in terms of resources, but we have proved that women meet the challenge and make do." The NGO Forum did not earn the GH seal. Each day the Forum, the male edited NGO daily paper, requested financial contributes because the NGO faces a huge deficient. During the U.N.

Conference at the modern, spacious Bella Convention Center, everything was "neat and tidy" except for the walkout of approximately 40 delegates from Pakistan, India. Soviet Union, the Eastern Block and Arab countries when Jihan Sadat spoke. There also was a clash with police when a group of Bolivian and Latin American women demonstrators were protesting the military coup in Bolivia which overthrew the democratic president. They were requesting a denunciation of the coup by the U.N. and asking for solidarity of all women for democracy, peace and justice.

Some injuries were sustained. The NG forum on its first day had space for only 600 women, leaving 2000 waiting outside in the rain. Elizabeth Palmer told the delegates, "Forum dem ands patience and are women detained in mind, body and spirit all over the world. Freedom has its responsibilities." Schuclamit Aloni of the Israeli Knesset said. "Too many women here and too many U.N.

officials play ordinary politics. I'm afraid we women who came here with great hopes will go home with a deep feeling of frustration. One thing is nice we meet people and just by putting away the administration and establishment we try to do things together and will continue to have Said Mariam Bakhtiar of Iran: "We are learning from the U.N. Plan of to do this for women in Iran. Women in Iran are active in rural and regional there are no women on the revolutionary council." When asked if she was aware that historically after a revolution, women soon lose political ground, she indicated that they knew and did not fear this.

Domatilla Barrios de Chungara, Bolivian leader of the Miners' Wives Committee, facing the tragedy and atrocity of the coup, said she was determined to go back to her country even it was only to die. Rumors were flying as to possible execution or imprisonment of her husband and children and the families of other Bolivian delegates. She said: "I think it is difficult for most people in the west to know what we are feeling. We have fought; built revolutions and immediately that government is changed for another, another and another. We've had 189 coups and why? We have silver, gold, bismuth, lead, zinc and oil.

"Our resources and wealth are badly conference has been worthwhile because I am able to tell the world what is happening to my country, the pain we have for our people who have been killed and lost their liberty." Throughout the conference, the women came up with many ways to exert influence in the U.N. and to show their solidarity. The U.N. Conference did produce the Convention calling for elimination of all forms of discrimination against women. Said Phyllis Chessler, who led a panel on "Women in Exile Everywhere" "We need a feminist United Nations.

We need to have an international tribunal to hear the crimes against women. We need to have an international code of law for women as opposed to or distinct from a person. In Copenhagen, 10,000 women came together to exchange the material necessary to continue weaving a women's global network!
