Inc. Dear Sally BY SALLY SHAW DEAR SALLY: Do you think it would tie proper or tactful for me to offer a certain family in our neighborhood some of the clothes my children have out grown? I happen to know this family has a rather hard time financially, and these clothes are still in fine condition, and I am sure they would fit this other fam ily’s children nicely. However, 1 hesitate to make the offer for fear these people might resent it. NEIGHBORLY. DEAR NEIGHBORLY: I see nothing in the least wrong with your making such a kind offer. And as a matter nf fact, there are many people in SOLID fi nancial circumstances who ap preciate receiving children’s clothing that is in good condi tion. If this particular neighbor should happen to resent your kind gesture, she wi .uld lx- very small- minded indeed. DEAR SALLY: I am distressed over the indifference toward me of my daughter-in-law. I just cannot get her into a good conversation. I do all the phon ing, unless she needs a baby sitter for their two small child ren. I love taking care of my grandchildren, but I would also love more friendship from their mother. With other people she is as charming and lovable as you please, but with me she freezes up, and this makes me very heavy-liearted. Is there anything you can suggest I might do to earn tier love? REJECTED. DEAR REJECTED: There isno set* formula for winning the love of another, other than to be as kind, considerate, and lovable yourself as you can be . . . and even that doesn’t always work. Your daughter-in-law is indeed fortunate to have a mother-in-law like you so eager for her love and respect. It could be, inci dentally, that you’re displaying TOO MUCH eagerness, and if you were to temper this down a bit it would create a little more de sire in her for your attention. DEAR SALLY: I’m a con science-stricken boy of 17. Last weekend, while my buddy’s par ents were out of town, he let me drive their car, and I acci dentally bashed one side of it against a fence post. When his parents returned home, my buddy took all the blame, is paying the bill of $50 out of his part-time job salary, and his parents have also grounded him for two months. My buddy has told me to keep my mouth shut, but I still feel bad about it, knowing that my parents would ground me, too, if they knew about it, and also I feel I should lie paying at least a share J the damages. What do you think about this? GUILTY. DEAR GUILTY: You’re right. Ynu should be sharing this with your buddy. First tell your par ents about it and accept what ever punishment they decide to mete out, then confess your part in the incident to your buddy’s parents, and tell them you want to pay your share of the dam ages. They will respect you, your buddy will respect you more, and last but far from least, you’ll have much more respect for your self. * * * POVERTY LEVEL The U. S. Labor Department has raised from $3,300 to $3,600 the level of annual income below which a city family of four is considered “poor" in qualifying a member as eligible for various government manpower programs for the “disadvantaged.’’ For farm families, the level has been raised from $2,300 to $3,000. Medicare Costs Also Increase “The overall cost of living keeps going up, and hospital costs are no exceptions,” said J. E. Gunter, Field Representative of the Greenwood Social Security Office. Because of the tremendous in crease in the cost of the average hospital stay social security Medicare beneficiaries will have an increase in their share of hospital costs. Beginning Jan. 1, 1970 the social security benefic iary will pay the first $52 of their hospital costs rather than $44 as in the past. In the event the bene ficiary stays more than 60 days then his share of the cost will be $13 per day for all days over 60 days up to 90 days. Before Jan. 1, 1970 this was $11 per day. This means the beneficiary who stays in the hospital 90 days will not pay $442. where before the in crease, he would only have paid $374. for the same 90 days. For more information about this increase in hospital pay ments or any other questions about Medicare Mr. Gunter sug gests you call or write the social security office at 219 Magnolia Ave., Greenwood, The telephone number is 223 1711.
