Dear Abby: Teen-agers have lots to do with time and talent

DEAR ABBY: When I read your column about whether the parents were guilty of child abuse for mak ing their sons, 9 and 11 years old, walk to school and back after they were kicked off the school bus for bad conduct, I was reminded of this column (enclosed). I’ve had it for many years and still think it hits the spot. I raised eight children, and they all walked to and from school every day. It never hurt any of them. Please run it again. It’s as good now as it was when I first read it at least 15 years ago. MRS. J. GALLAGHER, PHOENIX DEAR MRS. GALLAGHER: So do I. And here it is: “Always we hear the plaintive cry of the teen-ager: What can we do? Where can we go? The answer is, Go home! “Hang the storm windows, paint the woodwork. Rake the leaves, mow the lawn, shovel the walk. Wash the car, learn to cook, scrub some floors. Repair the sink, build a boat, get a job. “Help the minister, priest or rabbi, the Red Cross, the Salvation Army. Visit the sick, assist

Wise handling of family trust matters? Come talk to us*

How your estate will be administered is a very serious and personal matter, and great care should be taken in delegating this responsibility. First National Bank has the resources and experience to protect your assets and make the necessary provisions for your family's future. Here are a few of the many Trust services available to you at First National Trust Under Will Frequently a friend or relative is asked to administer an estate. Unfortunately, relatives and friends aren't always as impartial as one might prefer. By appointing this bank to handle the ongoing management of your estate after you're gone, you have far more assurance that provisions for your loved ones will be administered as you intended. Execute* It is also true that in most cases friends or relatives are not sufficiently knowledgeable to serve as executors and there's no guarantee an individual is going to be around when the time comes. With this bank as your executor, you avoid the problem of appointing someone who may not be able to fulfill all the requirements. The trust officers at First National are familiar with problems that arise in the

the poor, study your lessons. And then when you are through —and not too tired—read a book. “Your parents do not owe you entertainment. Your city or village does not owe you recreational facilities. The world does not owe you a living. You owe the world something. You owe it your time and energy and your talents so that no one will be at war or in poverty or sick or lonely again. “In plain, simple words, grow up; quit being a crybaby. Get out of your dream world and develop a backbone, not a wishbone, and start acting like an adult. “You’re supposed to be mature enough to accept some of the responsibility your parents have carried for years. They have nursed, protected, helped, appealed, begged, excused, tolerated and denied themselves needed comforts so that you could have every benefit. This they have done gladly, for you are their dearest treasure. But now, you have no right to expect them to bow to every whim and fancy just because selfish ego, instead of common sense,

dominates your personality, thinking and requests. “In heaven’s name, grow up and go home!” DORIS BURVILLE, OLYMPIA, WASH. * * * DEAR ABBY: You frequently tell a correspondent, “Your letter made my day!” Well, Abby, listen to this. After miles of avoiding tailgating trucks and speeders hurrying to resort areas, I slowed down as I drove through the small town of Shafter, Calif., where apparently some kind of doings was in progress. Crossing with the green light were about 25 teen-agers pushing wheelchairs containing senior citizens, apparently from some nursing home. I called out, “You young people are doing a marvelous job!” Abby, they answered me in sign language! Believe me, that made my day! DR. VELMA RITTER, TAFT, CALIF. DEAR DR. RITTER: Thanks for two important messages: (1) There are plenty of terrific teenagers around; (2) regardless of

administration of estates, and know how to deal with them. When First National is your executor, you have the services of a permanently established professional trust department, experienced and ready to serve you immediately upon notice. Living Trusts First National can also provide full or partial management of your property, removing the continuous burden of personal supervision, along with much of the paperwork that goes with it. This leaves you free to enjoy all the benefits of ownership, without the hassle of daily administration. Guardian or Conservator The tragedy of the deaths of parents is doubled when no provision is made for the education and welfare of minor children. You'll find our bank a trustworthy and able guardian for the interests of children, and persons unable to manage their own property if you are no longer here. For further information on these and other trust services, we invite you and your attorney to confer with members of our trust department, at your convenience.

our limitations, everybody can do something for somebody. * * * DEAR ABBY: Spruce gum is scarcer than hen’s teeth. Please let your readers know that we are trying to get someone interested in spruce gum production because our supplier has retired. I hope that the College of Forest Resources at the University of Maine at Orono will take up the challenge and become the world’s only spruce gum producer. (Maine has about 7 million acres of spruce trees.) Sorry we can’t supply your readers now. D. KILTON ANDREW JR., L.L. BEAN INC., FREEPORT, MAINE DEAR MR. ANDREW: I am also sorry—sorry I was misinformed when I personally telephoned your company three times to verify the availability of spruce gum. Many readers—especially professional athletes—want spruce gum. They say it keeps the mouth moist and has none of the drawbacks of chewing tobacco.
