Dear Abby Generation gap made wider by grandparent’s big mouth
DEAR ABBY: My siblings and I all married with families went “home” to spend Christmas with our parents who live in a distant state. Never again! Our parents criticized our children the entire time we were there. For example: To our 14-year-old daughter: “You really should lose some weight, dear ... you have such a pretty face.” To our 17-year-old son (a straightA student): “I wish you’d cut your hair. You look like a hood.” To my 21-year-old nephew: “Since when do boys wear earrings? Or are you a fruitcake?” None of the kids want to go back to visit their grandparents, and I don’t blame them. I understand from talking with my friends that my parents are not unique in their behavior. A word to the wise: Grandparents, if you want to see your grandchildren, please accept them as they are. Love is not genetic. It must be earned even by grandparents. YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS

Cardboard makes crafty curtain rods
Dear Heioise: I’ve been remodeling parts of my home, and my new curtains called for the new wide rod. 1 couldn’t see buying new rods when the ones 1 had were perfectly good, so I cut a long piece of cardboard the length I needed and 2 inches wide. Then 1 put the cardboard, with the rod, into the curtains. It worked beautifully. Char Dickison, Cypress, Calif. Great idea! One could also use giftwrapping paper cardboard tubes. Heioise A PLACE FOR LIDS Dear Heioise: 1 have a great idea for storing pot and pan lids. You’ll need a 5/8-inch spring and two screw-type cup hooks. Screw the cup hooks into the inside of the pantry door, one on each side. Secure the ends of the spring onto the cup hooks (adjust if necessary). You can now hang any size lid with a knob on this lid “spring.” Just slide the lid behind the spring until the knob catches on it. More rows can be added above and below if you have lots of lids. Dolores Caldwell, Bulverde, Texas How ingenious you are! To protect the inside of that pantry door from scratches and marks from the lids, cover the area with some clear adhesive-backed plastic. Heioise GARDEN-TOOL CADDY Dear Heioise: My wife loves to work in her flower garden, and with spring coming up before we know it, 1 thought I would share how 1 solved her problem of always misplacing her garden tools. I saw my neighbor going golfing one day and an idea came to mind. I obtained an old golf bag from a friend and used it to make her a tool caddy. I made a platform 16 inches square and put on four small swivel wheels, then bolted the golf bag to it. 1 put the rake, hoe and shovel where the golf clubs used to go. In a pocket I put her smaller hand tools, and her gloves and clean rags went in another compartment. When spring is here and she begins work in her garden, all her tools will be together and she can roll her convenient tool caddy out to the garden.

DEAR SONS AND DAUGHTERS: I am pleased to report that your parents are in the minority. Most grandparents of this generation are much more accepting of their grandchildren than your parents.

Open house marks clinic’s 11th year
Putnam County’s Planned Parenthood clinic will celebrate the beginning of its 11th year of service with an open house at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 30 at 19 E. Franklin St. Since 1981, Planned Parenthood has provided services for women and men in putnam County, including pelvic examinations and pap smears, examinatios for breast and testicular cancer, pregnancy tests, birth control information and supplies, and testing and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases. HOUSED IN recent years in the little red brick building just of the Courthouse Square in Greencastle, the clinic began its response to reproductive health care needs in Putnam County under much different circumstances. In 1981, an advisory board of local people concerned with Putnam County’s high teen-age pregnancy rate, and also aware that county residents were traveling considerable distances to visit Planned Parenthood clinics in the surrounding area, worked with the regional organization to establish a clinic. Other medical groups in the county, aware that they could not meet some health care needs with Plan-

Trends in snacking vary across the U.S.
Not all snackers are alike. While most Americans consume more than 19 pounds of snack foods each year, individual tastes and consumption patterns are as different from coast to coast as a New York accent is from a Texas twang. New Englanders are the nation’s biggest snackers. In 1990, the average New Englander ate 24.4 pounds of snacks, five pounds more than the national average, according to the Snack Food Association. NEW ENGLANDERS like their chips kettle-cooked, and their consumption of these special chips was 62 percent above the national average.

the shower and wedding gifts if the wedding is called off at the last minute?” (In this case, the groom changed his mind.) You replied, “The gifts should be returned to the givers.” My question: What in the world does a person do with one piece of china, or a setting of sterling silver? Not all stores will cheerfully refund your money. In most cases, the receipt of the gift is kept only until the gift is opened and the bride-to-be has already accepted it. Without a receipt, it is virtually impossible to get your money back. Then what? Personally, I would prefer that the jilted bride kept the gift, but she shouldn’t have any more showers if and when she’s engaged to be married again. A NONI-MOUSE DEAR NONI: I stand by my original answer. Return the gifts. The giver will eventually find
handle, cooperated as well. Services initially were procided after hours once a week at Dr. James B. Johnson’s office in a medical complex on North Arlington Street Demand for the clinic’s services gre steadily, and Planned Parenthood soon was operating its own clinic four days a week with nursepractitioner Marilyn Myers, RJ4..C, on duty for consultation, examinations and medical tests. Dr. Johnson provided additional medical expertise and made necessary referrals to specialists. MRS. MYERS ALSO managed an extensive educational campaign, giving talks to public school classes and in fraternities and sororities at DePauw Unviersity. In the belief that in an “information age,” people need to know the basics of reproduction and responsible parenthood, Mrs. Myers worked to head off what she called “a no-win situation” for parents and child: an unwanted pregnancy. Not everyone agreed on the need for information, as illustrated by a favorite story of Mrs. Myers.’ Question: “Doesn’t all this birth control information encourage illicit sex?” Reply: “Does drivers’ education encourage traffic accidents?”
In the Pacific region, tortilla chips were more popular than potato chips for the third year in a row, widening the gap to nearly a three percent difference in market share. Consumers in the Mid-Atlantic regional are the country’s biggest consumers of nuts and pretzels per-capita pretzel consumption there was three pounds more than double the national average. Pork rinds enjoyed their greatest popularity in the South Central and South Atlantic states, with each region comprising 30 percent of market sales. THERE ARE EVEN snacks for health food enthusiasts.

The future seems unreal to them. The “I-want-it-now” attitude is the hallmark of immaturity. Train your children to save. If they resent it, so what?

SINCE 1983 Putnam County Planned Parenthood has received important support from United Way, reaching a high of $8,150 in 1987 when the clinic served 535. (In 1989, the most recent full year for which statistics are available, the clinic served 568 men and women and received $6,570 from United Way.) Planned Parenthood of Southern Indiana provides the balance of the funding, with clinic costs partly offset by fees charged to patients based on their ability to pay. Today, clinic manager Kathy Gemmaka and nurse-practitioner Linda Daugherty, R.N.C., and the local advisory board work with the administrative office in Bloomington to provide a wide range of reproductive health care services to women and men. The clinic is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays and from 9 To ? p.m. Wednesdays. As it has for the past 10 year, Putnam County Planned Parenthood provides a wide range of reproductive health care and consultation for women and men. Prospective clients and persons wishing to assist as volunteers may visit the clinic during office hours or call 653-4080.
predicted that health food’s continued popularity would serve to curb snack food sales. However, the health movement did not decrease, and may have actually increased, industry sales. Jim Shufelt, president of the Snack Food Association, explains: “Americans realize that snack foods are a normal part of a balanced diet, as well as a part of the American tradition. “Snack food producers have responded,” he added, “to the increase in demand for healthier foods by extending product lines to include low-fat and lightly salted snacks.”
