Dear Eugenia
She wants commitment
I am 28 years old and have been
going with a guy, [I’ll call him Jay],
for the last two and one half years. He
is 30.1 gave up a good Job in another
town and moved with him to a small
town where his company transferred
him. Now I work part time at a job I
don’t like and spend all my free time
alone, [He works long hours. ], or with
Jay at home watching T.V. I miss
my family and friends and wish that I
had never left my home town.
My problem with Jay is that he
does not show any intentions of a
commitment. I would feel better if
we at least got engaged, but when-
ever I bring up the subject, he
mumbles something and leaves the
room. He says that he cannot trust
women because of a bitter divorce he
had three years ago. He lost all his
possessions in the divorce and still
has a lot of anger toward his ex-wife.
I want to get married and have a
family.
We share all expenses and I have
nothing in my name. If this relation-
ship were to end, what are my legal
rights in terms of financial matters?
Do you think Jay will changed his
mind and decide to go on with mar-
riage? I feel like I’m hanging onto a
relationship with no future. Please
answer soon.
“Time is running out”
Dear “Time is running out,”
Have you talked with your boy-
friend about your expectations from
Apply weedkiller now
It won’t be too many weeks before
some of the annual summer lawn
weeds begin to germinate and grow.
Some of the common ones are crab-
grass, chickweed and knotweed.
One of the easiest ways to take care
of these weeds is to put down a
preemergent herbicide that kill them
before they come up. One of the
problems with using preemergent
herbicides is, of course, they must be
applied before the weed germinates.
Adjustment to
life TV program
Anyone who’s ever wanted some-
thing and couldn’t have it or longed to
do something and wasn’t allowed to
do it knows what it is to be disap-
pointed.
And because disappointment is
hard for children, Fred Rogers has
made a whole new week of “Mister
Rogers’ Neighborhood” programs
about “Yes and No” to help his young
viewers understand people don’t
always get to do just what they want.
The half-hour programs will air on
KERA/Channel 13 Monday through
Friday, February 4-8, at 4:30 p.m.;
each program will be repeated the
following morning at 8:30.
Of this newest theme week, the
award-winning creator and host of
“Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood”
says, “For very young children, find-
ing out what can and cannot be is
essential to their understanding of the
world about them.”
Rogers illustrates the theme of
“Yes and No” in visits to the fantasy
“Neighborhood of Make-Believe,”
where a marriage is about to take
place. Along with the yeses—the “I
dos” and “I wills”—there are also
some nos: Ana Platypus finds she
won’t be a member of the wedding
after all, Lady Elaine Fairchild
learns that she doesn’t get to choose
the gown she’ll wear as a bridesmaid,
and Daniel Tiger isn’t at all sure that
he wants to play the ring bearer’s
part that’s been assigned to him.
Fred Rogers believes that these im-
aginary dilemmas have parallels to
the real nos in children’s lives and
that children’s playing about their
disappointments can help them to
manage real ones later on.
Local acquisition of “Mister
Rogers’ Neighborhood” is made
possible, in part, by a grant from
Target Stores.
Senior Games
,*iik> ^ M / rMl jM
come to UlA
ARLINGTON-More than 1,500
men and women are expected to com-
pete in the fourth annual Texas
Senior Games May 15-18 at the
University of Texas at Arlington.
The competition, which has become
one of the largest such events for
seniors in the nation, is open to any
person, male or female, 50 years of
age or older. The Senior Games will
be open to non-Texas residents for the
first time this year.
Participants will compete in 51 ath-
letic and recreational activities, in-
cluding track and field, softball,
swimming, bowling, golf, tennis,
horseshoe pitching, dominoes and
dancing.
Opening ceremonies will be held at
7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 15, at
Texas Hall on the UTA campus. A
prominent Texas sports or govern-
ment figure will serve as honorary
chairperson of the Games and will of-
ficially open the competition at this
ceremony. Previous honorary chair-
persons have been Rita Clements,
Darrell Royal, and Tom Landry.
Most competitions will be conduct-
ed according to the following age
groups: 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74,
75-79, 80-89 and 90-over. The 1984
Games had three contestants who
were more than 90 years of age.
Thirty-two entrants were over 80, and
343 were between 70 and 79. The

If they are applied too late and the
weed has sprouted the chemical will
not be effective and will not provide
any control at all. In this part of
Texas the “rule of thumb” date for
the application of preemergent herbi-
cide is March 1. This means that if a
preemergent herbicide is applied
about March 1 most years it will
prevent annual weeds, but once in
awhile spring comes a little early and
the weeds could well germinate and
be up before March 1.
Perhaps one of the best ways to
approach spring weed control is to
consider a two pronged attack. The
first step is to kill all the weeds about
March 1 all the weeds including the
winter weeds and if it has been an
early spring, those annual weeds that
may have already germinated. One
of the best chemicals to do this with is
glyphosate. Some of the brand names
are Roundup, Kleenup and Dooms
Day, follow label directions.
The next step is to immediately
apply one of the preemergent herbi-
cides accordingly to its label direc-
tions. There are a number of pre-
emergent herbicides sold under
several brand names and they all last
about the same length of time. Com-
pare the price and buy the one that
costs less for the area to be covered.
This is the easiest time of the year
for weed control with no competition
from weeds, the summer turf grasses
will be able to form a dense-thick turf
that will be resistant to any further
weed invasion.
Before using any chemical read the
label and follow directions. Many
preemergent herbicides can not be
used near trees and shrubs.
your relationship? You need to have
an honest talk, where you also can
find out what it is that he expects out
of being with you. It is very possible
that he is scared of a commitment
because of his past disappointments.
He needs to get a “handle” on this,
either by exploring the issue himself,
or by talking with a counselor who
will help him see through his confu-
sion.
You, of course, must ask yourself a
few basic questions. For example: 1
What are two positive things that I
get out of this relationship? 2 How
long am I willing to wait for Jay to
make a commitment? (It may be
three months, six months, or a year?)
3 What would have to happen for Jay
to change his position in the relation-
ship? (This is totally up to Jay and
you have no control over his deci-
sion.)
As it stands now, you have no claim
to any possessions or financial assets
that have been accumulated during
the past few years. Theie are certain
parts of “Common Law” that will
sometimes apply in such a case. To
be absolutely sure of your legal
position, you would need to consult
with a lawyer. In any case, I suggest
that you open a bank account in your
name today. It would be good for your
own sense of security even if the
relationship works out in the end.
In the meantime, you need to think
about making friends and doing
something enjoyable in your free
time. You may want to take an
exercise class, or join a women’s
group to raise your self-esteem and
learn to make decisions that will be in
your best interest.
Andrews is a local family counselor
in private practice and will answer
all letters through the column. Please

drews, MSW, to 410 North Anglin
Street, Cleburne, Texas 76031.

Geldon is quick to stress the “fun and
fitness” of the competition.
"We all know how important it is
fqr older persons to remain physical-
ly and socially active in order to en-
joy the best possible quality of life,”
Geldon says. “But they also need a
chance to show off their achievement
in keeping their bodies and minds fit.
That’s really what the Senior Games

tremely gratified that so many sen-
iors are participating in this event
and that the Games continue to grow
so rapidly.”

only $2 for each event entered, plus a
facility use fee of $2.50 each for bowl-
ing, billiards and tennis and $3 for
golf. Deadline for entering the 1985
