20 THE GOHAWA TIMES, Thursdey, Mey 6, 1965 ANN LANDERS Not All Men Can Resist Temptation Dear Ann Landers: We aren't millionaires but we do have a considerable amount of money in our joint checking account, My husband has a habit of signing his name to checks and then he lets people fill in the amount, For example, we had some stone masonry done last week and the man who did the work said he hadn't figured out the cost of the job yet, My husband| wrote a check, signed it and said 'Fill in the amount when you figure it." When I told my husband this was dangerous he answered, 'I trust people." I believe the man is honest, but what if he lost the check and someone who wasn't honest picked it up? What can you suggest? -- WIFE OF RECK- § ROBERT Dear Wife: It's admirable to trust people, and Reckless Rob-|ffices. ert may never regret it, But it is foolish, for the reason you mentioned and another reason, In the same way that keys left in the ignition might tempt someone to steal a car, a signed check might tempt someone to} write a larger check than he} ought to write. } Dear Ann Landers: A group) of us high school students com-| nore the mone ; fed fami! < : |where y is going again, in our family of boys and, per posed some rules for teachers'}, this fair? -- Mutiny in the haps, in our hearts. When I saw to follow, Please print them in your column, Ten Commandments 1, A teacher should be neat and appropriately dressed. Many teachers would do well to keep this in mind. As for rule Number 7, 1 would like to add a word of my own, In New Jersey several months ago the governor signed a "Hit the Kid Back" bill which gives teachers the right to pro- tect themselves in the class- room, Most high school kids these days are bigger than the teachers, It's the teachers who need protection against man- handling--not the kids. Dear Ann Landers: 1 belong to a club that meets every other week, We play cards and the winners put half their win- nings into a kitty which we do- nate to a worthy charity at the end of the year. The officers decide which charity gets. the money. A certain clique has been running the club for the last two years because they hold the This clique has been voting that the money be given to their pet charity and we re- sent it, Yesterday we had another election of officers. The presi- dent and vice president are sis- ters. The president's daughter- in-law is secretary and her cou- sin is the treasurer, The vice president's niece is sergeant-at- arms, We know right now Ranks Dear Ranks: Do the bylaws say relatives cannot hold of- fice? If not--then it's fair CHILD GUIDANCE By GARRY C. MYERS, PhD "Dear Mr, Myers: I feel that you are an old friend as I have read your column for several years.
