C., June 4, 1970 Dear Sally BY SALLY SHAW DEAR SALLY: Seems like very coqple of weeks or so omeooe in the office where I f ork is passing the hat around )r a donation to a wedding 1ft, a baby gift, a going-away lift, a get-well gift, and what- lot, ad infinitum. I’m fed up to ■my ears shelling out my hard- earaed money for all these things. Have you any comments? MARK. DEAR MARK: Are there any others in your office who feel 4s strongly about this as appa rently you do? If not, then of Course it’s always your privi lege to say “no” whenever you are approached for a contribu- lon . . . that is, if you don’t lind losing a few friends. DEAR SALLY: I’m in a ter- [ible fix! I-recently accepted a irl friend’s invitation to serve |s one of her bridesmaids at ir wedding. However, last Jight she took all her atten- ats to the store for the se- iction of our dresses, and I Imost flipped when I dis- Jovered she had picked an out- pt for me that is far, far be- fond my financial means . . . ad also it is a type of dress it can never be worn again ar any other social occasion, absolutely cannot afford this brice for a one-time-only out fit! What can I do? PENNY-SHY DEAR PENNY-SHY: Pay a personal visit on your girl friend and tell her frankly what vou’ve told me. Usually, a thoughtful and considerate bride krill take into account the finan cial ability of her attendants when she makes her selections of their outfits. 4 DEAR SALLY: Our eight- year-old boy has come home crying at least three times within the past couple of weeks yith the news that the mother Of one of the boys in the neigh borhood has ordered him out of her house ... for no reason at all. He says she’s always picking on him. Although I’ve never met or talked with this Woman, I have seen her from a distance, and she looks as plough she wer^ very hard to rget along with. I certainly don’t like her treatment ofmy son. So, how should I handle this? WROUGHT UP. DEAR WROUGHT UP: In the first place, don’t be passing judgement on someone you haven’t even met or talked with yet! When a child says he has been banished from a home “for no reason at all,” there always IS a reason. I suggest that, in a very calm, kindly, and reason able manner, you pay a little call on this woman. I’ll bet she’ll have some surprising news for you.' DEAR SALLY: If you are playing golf with an extremely slow foresome, and there is a twosome coming up behind you, are you required to relinquish the tee to them? DUFFER. DEAR DUFFER: Accordingto the rules, no - - but good man ners say yes. Speedy players must never ask if they may play through, and they shouldn’t have to ask. It is safer to make the offer while you are all on the tee, but you may signal them to play through on the fairway, and then move with your group to the rough until they have finished. Maj.

Sir Alexander Anderson was the Lord Provost of Aber deen in 1872. From the thirty-three grants of arms to the name, the one illustrated is of ancient origin. This shows black crosses on a silver shield. Ward first became a sur name in 1194 in Yorkshire, England and it derived from an Old English word 'weard' which means watch man. The Earls of Abercorn, the Earls of Dudley and Knights of Bexley are a few of the titles held by fami lies of the name. The simplicity of the coat of arms we have shown attests to its antiquity. It is a gold cross on a blue background.

BY ANNE ASHLEY Q. What causes my iron to stick to the clothing as I press it? A. Either too much starch, clothes not properly rinsed, or dirt on the bottom of your iron can cause this. If it’s the bottom of your iron that’s at fault, rub it with a damp cloth when cool. Polish with a dry cloth. For stubborn cases, use silver polish, or run the iron over a Sam C.

In the case of rayons and other synthetic fabrics, too hot an iron 'will cause sticking. Q. How can I relieve tired and aching feet? A. Boric acid in the foot bath will not only relieve tired, per spiring feet, but will also re move any inpleasant odor. Q. What have you to say a- bout the idea of soaking clothes before laundering them? A. Don’t soak them so long that the dirt is distributed through the fabrics. If soaking overnight, be sure the sudsy water is cold, or your clothes will take on a poor color. Q. How can I prevent window glass from streaking as I wash it? A. Adding a little vinegar to your wash water will avoid streaking, and will also make the glass sparkle. Q. How can a woodcarving hobbyist harden the wood that has been cut out and sculptured into the desired shape? A. By boiling the pieces in pure olive oil for eight to ten minutes. Many other such “hob by hints” are contained in my household-hints book. Q. How can I prevent Chinese and Indian matting rugs, as well as bamboo curtains and furn iture, from yeUowing? A. By cleaning them with salt water. Q. Can you suggest an easy repair for small holes in li noleum? A. Oftentimes a good filler for such holes is provided by a mixture of finely chopped cork and liquid glue. Q. How can I remove stub born stains from my kitchen sink or bathtub? A. Try rubbing over these stains with table salt dampened with turpentine or mineral spi rits, then rinsing with clear water. jurens County Councilj Will Be Greatly Appreciated. tegrity—Dedication—Business Experience Member of the First Baptist Church and superintendent ot an adult Sunday school class.

Moreover, of primary import ance, the system must possess flexibility and continuous capa bility of meeting specific infor mational needs not only for the State but for each of its eco nomic subdivisions. Central to this effort is the development of an industry- occupation matrix. The matrix will represent a detailed dis tribution of the occupational composition of every industry in the nonfarm wage and sal ary sector of the economy, and it wiU permit development of current and future employment estimates, by occupation, u- tilizing only the additional in put of industry employment data which are already available in considerable industry and geo graphical detail. The signifi cance of this feature, from the standpoint of cost, cannot be overemphasized. The system will exclude ag riculture, the self-employed, unpaid family workers and workers in private households as detailed data, at present, for these classes of workers are not available. Moreover, they cannot be obtained from a central source as can data for other classes of workers. The major data collection effort, which began in May and will continue for several months, will be by mail and will be handled by the S. C. Em ployment Security Commission. In-person field visits will be made to approximately 500 large firms. Industrial coor dinators from each of the TEC Centers will assist in the field visits. Consult Johir L.
