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.
