DEAR ABBY: A woman wrote to say that several years
ago she falsified her birth date on her driver's license
because she didn't want her husband to know how old she
was, and now that she’s eligible for Social Security she's
afraid to apply for fear they will revoke her driver's license,
fine her, or put her in jail!
She asked what the penalty would be if she confessed, and
you said all she had to do was send a copy of her birth cer-
tificate to the department of motor vehicles, and all would
be forgiven and forgotten.
It’s not quite that simple. In most states (and certainly in
Missouri) it is a misdemeanor to falsify one's driver's license.
Minors have been known to do this in order to pass for legal
age to buy alcoholic beverages.
Perhaps the lady who falsified her driver's license by
deducting a few years committed no serious offense, but
minors who falsify their drivers' licenses should be made
aware that this is a very serious offense which should not be
taken lightly.

DEAR ABBY: Your advice that mothers should give their
daughters sex education is ludicrous! If a daughter confides
to her mother that she is shoplifting to support a drug habit,
would you then advise the mother to instruct her daughter
on how to shoplift without getting caught?
If not, may I say that sex without marriage is just as
morally wrong as shoplifting and drug use.

DEAR DR BLAKER -
When I moved into a new
neighborhood two months
ago, I just knew I was going
to have trouble with the
woman next door. She was
always in my apartment,
either bringing me food or
offering to do me favors.
Last week she told me she

should move.
DEAR READER - First,
let’s look at the situation
through your neighbor's
eyes:
She is dying of cancer and
feels a desperate need to be
close to people. However,
she also knows most people
want to avoid the reality of
death. How can she over-
come the fears others have
in dealing with a dying wom-
an?
She can be very sociable
and very generous. In this
way, she compensates for
wearing the shroud of death.

DEAB RIGHT: Wrong! The erime of shoplifting cannot
be equated with the "erime" of premarital sex.
I hear from enough teenagers to know that once they
have gone all the way with sememe they think they love,
they will continue to have sex every chance they get. (The
sex drive is one of the meet powerful of all natural urges.
