Dear Ann Landers: | drive'a cab in New York Clty,
and it's a tough wa) 4 to make a living. The. traffic gets
crazier every year, but that's not the worst part. It's the

nuts who get into the cab and expect the driver to bea

_ Last night I took a lady to LeGuardia, She started to
tell me about her husband running around with a 22-
year old cocktail waltress. The woman got so worked

p she began to pound on the glass separator with her
flats yelling, “How do you like that for a man with seven
grondchil ren’

-I told her to write to Ann Landers and let me drive
the cab, She said, “I did that already and Ann says |
need to talk to somebody, so I'm talking to you.”

Most cab drivers are not educated to marriage
counseling or give advice on mental health problems,
That lady ond half the people I pick up are off their
rockers and need professionals to listen to them. So
please, Ann, make It clear that they should talk to ex-
perts who are trained to tell them what to do.

This Is my first letter | have ever written. to you,
and it will pro! ably be my last — sp please print it, —
Tony From Brooklyn.

Dear Tony: That lady and all those other people
who lay their problems on you cabbies are not looking
for advice, They just need someone to talk to..

Folks who want to unburden themselves often pick

& stranger. They figure they will never see that person

in and can tell their story any way they choose.

‘A though you aren't qualified to give advice, you can

help by listening. Many people who Write to me don't

want advice, either. They just want to sound off — like
you, buster. So be a good egg and lat'em.

Dear Ann Landers: }am making wedding plans and

already the aggravation is starting. Please halp me do

it is better to err on the side

of caution in reporting sus-
cases of abuse...

“We don't want an abused

he said. “

Of the 119 cases of sus-

Tenenbein estimates about
10 per cent were medical

cidents.

CITED BIRTHMARK |

The most common condi-
tion mistaken for abuse is a

‘birthmark called Mongolian
spots —- purplish patches of

pigmentation seen primarily,

‘in Canadian Indians and As-

ians.

Tenenbein said the spots,
which may ‘be located on a
child’s buttocks, or lower
back, are often.noticed by a

* public health nurse, teacher

or day-care. worker, who
takes the child to hospital.

“A Mongolian spot usually

ends right there,” said Ten-

enbein, noting that most doc-

tors are well acquainted with

Bruise-like marks also can
be caused by the’ blood’s
inability to clot properly.

Tenenbein said a,child with’
many bruises and hemmor-

to the decreased number of
platelets, the blood’s clotting
component.

A sympton of this condi-

stands a good chance of being
missed in Indian children

since their eyes are relatively 3
