Please tell me how school.--Janet Dear Janet: You must stop hating him, not for his sake but for your sake, Sometimes an alcoholic must hit bottom before he is ready to admit he has a problem and seek the help he needs. Maybe this incident will be the turning point in your father's life. Let's jope 80. In the meantime, go back to school and hold up your head. You are not responsible for your father's behavior.

He drifted from one thing to another and finally he went into "semi-retirement" at age 45. How do you like that for a healthy man with plenty of ability? Unfortunatély, he had no interest in anything but sex. With the responsibilities of seven children, plus the house and the job, I simply didn't have the time or the strength for "getting notions." So you see, Ann ders, sometimes necessity forces a solution on us.--Mrs. B. Dear Mrs. B.: I can't see any solution in your letter, dear.

Iisa Lage this --- h ape up a a at never fun to be fat, but it seems to be a particular heartache when you are young. To spark your enthusiasm for action, let me tell you about one 14 + year - old who tipped the scales at 152 pounds. Uhappy after shopping for a dress, she told her mother rebelliously: "J look awful anyway. I might as well eat everything and get as as a house!" of sympathizing with her hter, her mother. re- plied: 'Well, if that's what you) want to do you'll get as big as a house. When you decide to reduce, let me know and I'll te." From past expe- riences this mother knew that unless her daughter stopped stuffing herself between meals, it id do little good to try to her. Just one week later the young lady came to her mother and announced: "OK. I'm ready to reduce." She meant it. Her mother gave her a big hug and then made every effort to plan low-calorie meals. But the change in eating was made by the girl herself. She left off the between-meal extras --the candy bars, chocolate milk shakes, chips, cokes, frappes, peanuts and such. The first week she lost five pounds, and from then on lost gradually. This triumphant lady now weighs 126 pounds for her 5' 5" and enjoys eating and exercising to keep shapely.

Our tempiation will be, even now, to choose an amount un- reasonably high. If we don't set a limit now we surely will tend to spend more' for Christmas than our income warrants. Most parents think of Christ- mas as a time to provide gifts for the children and children usually keep dream: of the presents they will receive. It is not easy for them to think of what they might give at Christ- mas, especially to their parents. As a rule, their notion about Christmas is a pretty selfish one, as they generally are on the receiving end. Do we wish to lessen the usual selfish attitudes in our children toward Christmas? Do we wish to have them gain pleasure from giving? Do we wish to cul- tivate in them a desire to make ay personal sacrifices to this end? BETTER TO GIVE We may be able to have our children plan for Christmas in the following ways: Cause them to be thinking about the gifts they hope to buy or make; en- courage them to launch now a quests that she incorporated it in her fall-winter collection.

Obviously, it is desirable that he should have in mind a gift for each parent and perhaps for other members of the family, including grand- parents.
