Show mulative. To say thai your generation Try Compassion, Not Criticism By ABIGAIL VAN BUREN DEAR ABBY: I am absolutely beside myself with the news my parents gave me this morning. They drove over here and they are get Dting a IVORCE! I h o.nestly i be-- 1 eve they have taken leave of their senses. They, have had their differences like all married couples, but they have never not even for one separated day. I can't imagine what has come over them. Dad says that he is 70, and if the good Lord gives him another five years, he wants to live them in peace. Mother who is 69 says she feels the same way. I suggested a larger apartment with TWO bedrooms, frequent separate vacations, a ANYtrial separation THING, but divorce. But they insist they have thought it over and this is what they both want. Abby, they have children and grandchildren who love and respect them. What can we tell people? How can parents disgrace their families that way? I would like your opinion. TER - THEIR DAUGH- DEAR DAUGHTER: Your parents have a right to make their own decisions, for their own reasons, without loss of or respect from their chil- ke dren and grandchildren. And if they choose to termi- nate their marriage after 44 years, where is the disgrace? Pehaps they stayed together as long as they did out of consideration for you. They need compassion, not criticism. DEAR ABBY: I am 17. and have a few words for OFF MY CHEST who accused the younger generation of calling his the do nothing generation. Sir, I grant that all you say is true. Your generation has much. You accomplished made it possible for the common person to obtain a college education. Now college is for anyone who can make the grade. So dont tell us to get started early to beat the record you set in accomplishments. You gave us the earliest start possible. You made our education possible. Now that you have put us on the right path, who is to say what we will accomplish in the next 30 years, before out time is up and the next generation takes over? As you have done much. WE will do much. In fact, we will do more, just as you did more than your parents. And do you know why? Because whatever we do, we will have done standing upon your shoulders, as you have stood upon the shoulders of those who came before you. We have your accumulated wisdom to draw upon, and your accumulated experience to guide our future actions. The accomplishments of men are not competitive among the generations. They are cu did nothing is the vost pcerror. Your generation gave life to OUR generation, and that accomplishment alone merits my thar.ks and respect. My congratulations. I think y ou have done a great job of it. Sincerelv JEFF - CHICAGO DESERET NEWS, i? j Monday, September 8, A 15 1969 BOWLERS Don't Be Left Out!
