no need to worry about a son
being dragged off to jail for
immoral conduct.
Dear Ann Landers: A very
good friend of mine is a great
talker. She can report a trivial
incident and can make it sotmd
like the most earth-moving epic
of all times. In the middle of
her dramatic presentation slie
invariably becomes snagged on
a minor detail. Sample: "And
then on Tuesday or was it
Wednesday no. I think it was
Tuesday because Tuesday is
the day Molly comes at 9 a.m.
Xo it was Monday and not
Tuesday. 1 remember clearly
now or was it Friday?" By
then, of course I've lost inter
est in what she was saying.
Why do people do this? Don't
they realize it doesn't matter
an iota to the listener whether
it was Monday. Tuesday or Sun
day: Please shed a little light.

Dear Teeth: Of course this
sort of seif-inlermptinn ruins a
story but it's strange that so

suffers.
Dear Ann Landers: A stand

the 14-year-old boy who has
learned the most important les

I saw one boy go from had lo
worse, even with the besl guid

lowed in self-pity. He was told
he had a miserable childhood,
stupid parents and was not
taught the proper values. It
never occurred to the boy that
he could leach himself anything.
I know of another young tier
son who had a far more turbu

ages, went through juvenile
courts even jail. This boy will
soon be getting his high school
diploma through the mails.
Then he plans to go onto col

I hope Bennie and oili

VATICAN' CITY 'I P! '-The
visit of iPope Paul VI to the
Holy Land will take place from
Jan. 4 lo 6. the Vatican an
nounced today.
The Pope also may pay a
brief visit to Ichannn during
til peace pilgrimage, Vatican
sources said.
Commenting on an invitation
from the Iebanese government,
tlie sources said the pontiff
probably would want hi accept.
If he does, they added, the visit
probably will he restricted lo a
brief stop at the Beirut airport.
Mianon is the most heavily
Catholic country in the Middle
East, with an estimated per
cent of the population believed
to belong to that faith.
Vatican sources today ex
pressed gratification over the
welcome the world has given to
tlie plans (or the trip announced
by the iPope as lie closed the
second session of the ecumeni
cal council on Wednesday.
"The worldwide response is
really heartening." one source
said today. But the Vatican
maintained a tactful silence to
suggestions that the Pope step
into the Israeli-Arab dispute.
The Holy Land, where Christ
and Christianity were horn, is
now divided between Israel and
tlie Arab stale of Jordan.
Ti-day's official announcement
of tlie dates of the Pontiffs
visit did not include tlie slops
on his "peace pilgrimage." But
Pope Paul said he would go to
pray where Christ was born,
lived, died, and was resur
rected. The lJianese Arab newspa
per Al Shaab said llie Pope's
visit "must be the occasion or
destroying the foundations of Is
rael." Big Vatican sources have em
phasized that tlie visit will seek
to ease rather than heighten po
litical tensions in the area.
