Fifty Thousand Kids
Say Dad Is Wonderful

UPI Women's Editor
New York -(UTD- Fifty thou
sand children can't be wrong.
Pops a wonderful guy. Ex-
p r e sions of
love and ad
miration, with
wry reference
to Dad's devel
oping paunch,
ran through
the missives
entered in the
"Letters to Fa
ther" contest
to honor the
old man on his day, June 19.
The Cigar Institute of Amer
ica sponsors the contest,
which this year drew a rec
ord 50,000 letters.
"My father is a jaunty guy,
kind of hiding his mid-age
bulge, but strong as an ox,"
wrote Mario Berlanda, 15, of
Willow Grove, Pa., winner of
the first prize In the boys'
division.
Mario, a ninth grader who
hopes one day to be a teacher,
went on to say how much he
admired his father, also a
teacher. "We enjoy mutual un
derstanding of each other,"
he added.
First prize In the girls' di
vision went to Marlon Bols-
vert, 14, of Barrlngton, R.I.,
who wrote "When the time
comes for me to marry, I hope
I marry a boy Just Hke
you . . ."
Dalla Redbird, 7, of Hazel
Park, Mich., took second In
the girls' division with a four
line letter of admiration for
her father because he "helps
me with my music , . . beats
tom-tom for me." A postscript
added, "my daddy's name la
William A. Chief Redbird."
Third place, girls' division,
went to Melba Wehunt, 16,
Marietta, Ga., who said "you
have never had a son ... al
ways been surrounded by pet
ticoats, but you have given
me a relationship few daugh
ters have with their fathers."
Second prize for the boys
went to Shedon Breger of 818
N. Sycamore avenue, Los An
geles, who paid a touching
tribute to his step-father. "His
first thoughts are of us," he
wrote, "then mother and last
himself."
Andrew Jarvls, 7, son of
the assistant headmaster of
Episcopal Academy of Over
look, Pa., took third prize In
the boys' division with a let
ter of thanks to his dad for
Getting acquainted with grandfather.
Col. H, J. Meiring, 2460 Hillcresct drive,
after living 2'j years in Bangkok, Thailand,
are the four children of Maj. and Mrs.
Robert B. Harper. Demonstrating how the
Thai women hold their babies is Kolhy, 11,
holding Robert Jr., 9 months. Critics of the
demonstration are Laurie, 7, and Judy, 4.
Major Harper, step-son of Colonel Meiring,
was an advisor to the Thai army. The family
will make their home at Ft. Huachuca, Aria.
Money is just something to
spend for most children. The
number of pieces of bubble
gum that can be purchased
for a dime or the right
change for the Saturday
matinee seems to come
naturally.
This wasn't true of Maj.
nd Mrs. Robert B. Harper s
children, now visiting in
Medford. Major Harper, the
step-son of Col. H. J. Meiring,
2460 Hillcrest drive. Med
ford, has been stationed for
the last two and a half years
in uangKoK, Thailand, as an
advisor to the Thai army.
His children, Kathy, 11
Laurie, 7; Judy, 4; but not
Robert Jr., who is only nine
months, have had difficulty
converting the familiar Thai
baht" (20 to the American
dollar exchange rate) Into
American dollars.
Just like the American
tourist abroad, it was diffi
cult for them to know just
how much ten cents is in
real" money.
But just like American
children who have lived here
all their lives, the two
younger girls are entranced
by the apparent magic ot tele
vision, which was available
In the Thai language but
which they did not have in
Bangkok.
They still aren't complete
ly accustomed to things that
are taken for granted here.
As pure as Medford water is
reputed to be, Laurie has her
doubts about drinking water
that comes out of a tap.
All the drinking water
used in Bangkok was distilled
and came in bottles.
Even the temperature of
the water here was somewhat
of a novelty for them since
the Harpers, living only 90
miles north of the equator,
had no hot running water in
their home. This was stand
ard, Mrs. Harper said, except
in the big tourist hotels.
Of course, some foods are
different. In Thailand, Mrs.
Harper did her cooking with
charcoal heat and many fresh
American vegetables were
hard to find. Lettuce was
found infrequently and when
found was much "soggier"
than what would be pur
chased in a super food mar
ket here.
Even the milk tastes differ
ent. Here it's fresh.
Actually the children are
back from a good-will tour of
Thailand. Each of them was
made aware of her responsi
bility as a representative of
America in a foreign country.
Not only were they American
children, but they were

A special family prize went
to the four Spinettl girls-Dolores,
Joanna, Ramona and
Pattl of Daly City, Calif.,
who wrote "God knows
you've tried for a son. All
you've gotten is four daugh
ters, but that doesn't seem
to bother you at all."
A committee of judges In
cluding a representative of
the National Father's Day
council selected the winners,
but chuckled over many an
other entry-even If it weren't
award-worthy.
One child wrote, "I am glad
we have the same germs so
I can kiss you."
"I consider myself lucky to
be one of your daughters,
even if I did inherit your hay
fever," said another.
My own favorite came from
an 11-year-old who wrote,
"my dad likes little girls like
me and big girls like mommy."
