Dear Ann Landers,
s you un-doubtedly are aware, a great deal is being said against the funeral-service profession of late. I would like to pre-sent the other side of the controversy since almost everything I have read casts the funeral director in the role of the rip-off artist who takes advantage of poor people by making them feel guilty if they don't put Pa or Ma away in a $4,000 bronze casket. The charges against the profession are based on an infinitesimal sampling of families, made in one small area of the United States. The statistics I have seen indicate that there were approxi-mately 100 complaints from nearly a million families who were served. This compares very favorably with any pro-fession in the United States. In fact, I believe it's a testimony to the integrity of the profession. Will you please com-ment?

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, it all figures. I take strong exception to the col-umn about canker sores on the lips of girls (I assume) who were engaging in oral sex. You stated that this type of VD is on the increase and warned your readers to “be aware.” That col-umn would have been better had it never seen the light of day. What’s more, I believe you could enhance your reputation (maybe it’s too late now) and increase your readership if you devoted your efforts toward uplift-ing the nature of man rather than publicizing his frailties. This is an age of deterioration. Why should you contribute to the erosion just because you have a job on a news-paper? Why not use your power to up-lift rather than pull people down? Our goal in life is to assist in the develop-ment of society. That’s why those who don’t do their bit, no matter how little, always get it in the neck sooner or later. A REAL AMERICAN
