A new free computer
program in Waco at the
Annual Blackland Income
Growth meeting will help
families discover possible
problems in their budgets —
and set up new budgets.
"Dollar Watch" will be held
from 9:30 a jn. to 3:30 p.m. on
Wednesday, Jan. 17 at the
Waco Convention Center in
Waco.
Sponsored by the Texas

In “Dollar Watch," to help
families get a handle on their
spending, county extension
agents will be using a
computer terminal that is
connected via telephone to a
large computer system in
Minneapolis.
The computer only needs to
know several facts - the
number of cars and people in
the family, amount of family
income, and monthly expens-
es for food, rent or mortgage,
car payments, utilities, and
installment debt.

DEAR ABBY: Whenever I’ve seen a letter in your column
about a family feud, I've wanted to write and tell you about
my own experience, but never got around to it. Today I'm
getting it off my chest with the hope that some feuding
families will patch up their foolish quarrels.
When I was in my teens, my parents and an aunt and un
cle got into an argument about some petty thing that got so
blown out of proportion they quit speaking to each other.
My cousins and I still associated with each other, but we
didn't go into each other's houses because of our feuding

GENERAL ADMISSION:
(This week)
These figures are fed into
the computer and it prints out
facts about a family’s spend-
ing patterns, the agent
explains.
Trained county extension
home economists will analyze
the printout and help families
decide if they are overspend-
ing, underspending or doing
just about right.
In addition, they can make
suggestions for ways to reduce
certain expenses in the
budget.
..“Theprogram responds to a
need expressed by many
families who are seeking help
with financial management,"
she says.
A recent survey found that
over half the families in the
United States feel insecure
about their economic future.
More than half the families
argue about money. And about
half do not have any sort of
budget, either formal or
informal.

I was shocked. My wife, a registered nurse, would rather
care for strangers than stay at home and nurse my mother!
- She knows I never could repay my mother for all she’s done
for me. What do you make of this?

DEAR MIXED: Your wife obviously does not share your
deep feeling of obligation insofar as your mother.i ceaceru
ed. Hire a nurse to taka care of your mother and take gooa
care of yourself.
DEAR ABBY: I was divorced at 57, after 30 years. I lost
my husband to his secretary, who was 26.
I soon found out that men my age prefei women hai m-
age. I didn’t want to settle for a sick old man.
I joined the weird world of wandering widows, and made
the gostanji and decided to be good to myself, instead of
waiting on a man who’ never appreciate it.
I still weigh 130, have beautiful clothes, dowhat Iwant 1
do, eat when I'm hungry, sleep when I'm tired, and have ad
some exotic vacations! .
I have never been happier! And as for m- 5
