This Is her answer: Dear Popular In Montana: A wise old head of a large order of nuns used to say that for a young woman to even consider becoming a nun showed a generous spirit. Beyond that, however, the question Is not whather you can trust your body but what does your mind and heart tell you? There are valld reasons and tnvaild reasons for becoming a nun.

Baha'is Hold 1979 National Convention Baha'i Release Five years of hard work, confidence and a single-minded sense of purpose have drama: tically altered the Baha'l com- munity in Canada. At the Baha'i National Convention held from Aprit 26-30 in Guelph, Ont, Baha'l delegates met to discuss these changes and elect: the new National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Canada, The catalyst behind the changes was the Five-Year Plan of expansion and consoll- dation launched in April, 1974 by the Universal House of Justice, elected by the Baha'is of the World to direct the international affairs of the Faith, Each National Spiritual Assembly, elected by the Ba- ha'is of that country received its own specific plan as well. In Canada, at the begin- ning of the plan, there were 198 Baha'i local Spiritual Assem- blies (elected by the Baha'is of that particular city, town, etc.), and 902 localities where Baha'is resided. At its conclusion, the number of assemblies reached 323, a 61 per cent increase, and the number of localities had . grown to 1,675, Throughout the world, during the same period, assem- blies numbered 25,000, and localities 98,000 in 840 different countries and significant terri’ tories. Baha'i literature had lated’ and publish — Worrted In Dear W: After 23 years of this work | considered: myself sitively shock-proof — but your letter prompted me to call y said, ‘‘She’s right.’ So, fram now on, no oning from ihe tub. And If It rings — get out to Dear Ann: The problem is my husband. We've been married 15 years and have three children, 13, 10 and eight. ‘‘Joe’' isa wonderful person and a terrific father, but he Is very emotional. He cries when he hears the Star-Spangled Banner. Joe talks about suicide when he gets drunk — which isn’t very often, but It frightens me. On TV tonight | heard a doctor say the person who threatens sulcide Is rarely a candidate. Is this true or false? —AWite Dear Wife: The experts with whom | consult say the ones who talk about suicide are most lIkely to do It. But you can't live your IIfe In fear of what someone might do. Tune him out when he gets boozed up and talks about killing himself. Easy? Of course not, but work at It, dear.

How about kids them- — the C Seal people. It’s a matter of life and breath, selves? What do they think? Here's .a sampling of very personal reactions from some sixth-graders polled by the lung association: e In magazines, you almost. always see a beautiful girl or guy smoking a cigarette, but smokers are usually just old hags with yellow teeth and bad breath. e Remember, the differ- ence between a burnt-out ciga- rette and a bad pair of lungs is that one can be replaced and the other can't. © Do you know why people smoke? They think it's fun and they think they're hot. But they're just hurting themselves, e@ Smoking doesn't make anyone bigger or smarter. e If you smoke ask some- one if they will help you stop. e@ My own Mom and Dad might die young. @ When I go into a room with someone smoking I think to myself, ‘That person just isn't using his head.’ e It is a killer and as for me, my life is too good to throw away on cheap cigarettes, @ Kids have an advantage because they can find out about what smoking can do to their bodies.
