SHIFT FOCUS FROM ABUSE

I would like to express my displeasure with the Daily Press' choice of 
feature articles.

The focus should not be on heroin addicts who have abused the welfare 
system for years and will continue to do so ("Pregnant and addicted," March 
16-18).

We should honor and lift up our military troops and their families. Our 
troops are placing their lives on the line for our country. A feature 
article detailing their struggles and hardships and hopes and dreams would 
be much more appropriate reading material.
