Ann Landers in care of The Kansas City Star 1729 Grand Bird Kansas City Mo 641 OS Los Angeles Times Syndicate Dear ann landers: i read the letter from Chief Lamont Ewell president of tlje Oakland Calif Fire Department about the importance of changing smoke alarm batteries every year It occurred to me that if organizations could hand out free needles to drug addicts and free condoms why fire prevention organizations hand out free batteries for smoke detectors Most victims come from low-income families where $2 or $3 will be spent on a half-gallon of milk and a loaf of bread before it will be spent on a battery I'm on a very limited income and my smoke battery went dead a month ago It was three weeks before I could buy a new battery A letter from social services and landlords could verify people's inability to afford a new battery and then they would be eligible for a coupon from a battery manufacturer twice a year Think of the good will that would be generated if the public

utility company at $60 per month As soon as I drew my first pay-check my aunt sat me down and introduced me to real-life economics She said now that I was earning an adult salary my rent would be $15 per month and I was to continue my duties of cooking breakfast and doing the maintenance work on the yard I also was required to send my mother $25 each month That left me with only $20 a month for personal use After three years I went to college and majored in accounting By that time I was well prepared for the course I was also thoroughly grounded in what it takes to be a responsible person To this day I have not forgotten those valuable EgMon ElTuesTEIwed Thurs Max Groove 5-9 pm Joe Cartwright 9 pm-1 am Sat The Scamps 4-8 pm Karrin Allyson LIVE JAZZ 9 pm-1 am Tim Whitmer the KC Express 5-9
