gets the impression that our teen-agers are alT wild, immoral, promiscuous and sex-crazed. I hope you will tell your readers about a movement that started in Nashville about a year ago. It is changing the way thousands of young people think about sex. This crusade for purity is called "True Love Waits." -More than 1,000 teen-agers, both boys aHA girls, wearing white ribbons to signify virginity, went to Washington, D.C., in August to attend a convention and reaffirm their dedication to chastity. The girls wore gold wedding bands that were given to them by their parents at a ceremony celebrating the promise not to have sex until they marry.

The gold rings are to be given to their husbands on their wedding night. When one considers that approximately 3 jrxullion American teen-agers get a sexually transmitted disease every year and nearly 50,000 of them will eventually get full-blown AIDS, "True Love Waits' becomes a very appealing alternative. These teens are not listening to adults who tell them about "safe sex." They believe NO sex is the way to go. More than 200,000 other teens signed pledge cards stating they would not have sex until they marry. These cards were taken to Washington, attached to stakes and driven into the ground at the Washington mall.

I hope you will print my letter, Ann. E.R., Memphis 1 Dear Memphis: I am filled with admiration for these young people, and I hope the movement continues to grow. A national poll taken by Roper showed that more than 50 percent of teen-agers who have hpd sex wish they had waited. My only regret is that this movement is religion-based and is for Christians only. America today has millions of Jews, Moslems, Buddhists, Hindus, Baha'is, humanists and others who promote family values ajld might welcome this splendid idea whose time has come.

Dear Ann Landers: What is this world cpping to when a person can be arrested and fined for snoring? I'A college student who lives in Davis, called the police to complain that his neighbor was making so much noise He couldn't sleep. The police arrived, expecting to encounter a wild party, but to their surprise, they found a woman, asleep, who was making quite a racket snoring. The 30-year-old mother of two young children was given a ticket for disturbing the peace. The fine is $135. She was incensed and has hired an attorney to sue the city for making her an object of ridicule and damaging her health.

She claims she is now unable to sleep for fear the police will come and give her another summons. Isn't this outrageous? Please comment. Horrified in Calif. Dear Fining the woman was outrageous. I do hope, however, that she will have a simple surgical procedure to correct the problem.
