Dear Ann Landers I was
interested in the Do s For
Parents There was a lot of
good, common sense in those
suggestions And no* 1 hope
you will print some •[(os'
For Children This list was'
prepared h v my sixth
grade teacher and it was one
of the most valuable things 1
learned in school —20 years
ago
1 Be loyal to the members
of your family When you knock
your parents or a brother or
sister to outsiders, you do more
damage to yourself than you
do to them
2 Don't try to turn one
parent against the other It
could cause serious trouble,
and you'll wish you hadn't
3 Don't ask your parents if
you can do something because
"everyone else is doing it
It’s the poorest reason in the
world
4 Before you ask for some
thing (including ‘permission),
think Do you REALLY want
it, or do you want it becasue
some, of your friends have if’
5 Keefi your word When
you think you might be’ late,
call home and say sp It will
let your parents know you are
a responsible, trustworthy,
considerate person
6 Offer to do things around
the house without being asked
Initiative is a sign of maturity
7 Remember to give a com-
pliment when it is deserved
“Nice dinner, Mom,'' may
be the nicest thing anyone has
said to her all day — R H M...
Spokane
Dear R.H.M : Thank you
for the list I hope it goes up
on some school bulletin boards,
and maybe some kitchen walls
—near the fridge

“Do’s For Children”
Worth Remembering!
Dear Ann Landers: Should
I tell my fiance about an
abortion I had three years
ago'1 I was young and care
less and in love with a bov I
thought surelv would marry me
if I became pregnant As I
look back, it's just as well he
didn t It would have been a
disastrous marriage
No one knew about the ab
ortion except the boy and me
and his friend (a pre-med stu
dent) who performed it I was
barely in my third month
The man I am going to
marry has never asked me any
questions about - my former
sex life 1 wonder if the
truth might come out when we
decide to have a family and
I go to a gynecologist Could
he tell? Advise me, Ann —
Unsure
Dear Unsure: Your fiance
should be told There's a
one in a-thousand chance that
the abortion did something to
your insides that might make
it difficult (or even impossible)
for you to become pregnant
A gynecologist might be able
to tell

felonies) can get their records

individuals who straighten up
and become good citizens are
not plagued forever by past

(NOT pushers) know there's
a way of getting their records
cleared in some instances —

New Procedure To Follow
In Medicare Enrollments
A new procedure for Medicare
enrollments is now in effect
announced M E. Owen, Manager
of the Victoria Social Security
Office. The new procedure con-
cerns persons already receiving
benefits when they become eligi- 4
ble for Medicare, Owen said.
Under recent changes in the
Social Security ldw, beneficiar-
ies are now presumed to want
Part B Medicare coverage at
the time they first become eli
gible, Owen stated. Deductions
from monthly checks then begin
automatically added Owen No
action is required by the benefi-
ciary if he wants coverage under
Part B or the so called doctor
bill part of Medicare. The
beneficiary merely places the
Medicare card in his billfold.
Should the beneficiary not de-
sire coverage under the doctor
bill part of Medicare, further

Ufider such circumstances, the
beneficiary would need to inform
the Social Security Administra-
tion of his decision to withdraw
from PartB A card to be check-

Social Security Administration
is provided when the Medicare
beneficiary is mailed his Medi-
care card. However, it should
be emphasized Owen pointed out,
that if full coverage under Medi-
care is desired no action is re-
quired by the beneficiary. His
coverage under Part B of Medi
care will begin automatically
unless he states he does not
desire coverage
