DearAbby

DEAR ABBY: We are the parents of six children, 6 |
through 18. We have told all our children thal if they
are Interested in furthering their education after

- school, we will give them each $1,000 a year toward

their education.

DEAR MOTHER: I agree with you. To give your
rebellious daughter money before she's able to handle
it might do her more harm than good. Your children
are being offered $1,000 a year toward a college
educatlon—not

to spend = as

become a Boy Scout, too.

Qur eldest son is a freshman in cullege. He works

part time and summers to help pay for his education,
and he also takes advantage of our $1,000, (I have to
beag a bit—he made a grade point of 4.0 his first

semester.)

Our problem is our second child, a daughter. She will
graduate from high school next June, Despile years of
counseling, lots of love and our best efforts, she is a
rebel. She's been in all kinds of trouble from shoplifting
to drugs and alcohol. She says as soon as she turns 18,
she’s splitting and wants no part of college.

My husband thinks thal when she leaves we should
give her the $4,000 we would have given her for a
college education so that in years to come she can't
say, “You never gave me the same chance yuu gave

the others.”

wake?”

DEAR ABBY: Whilesaying a goud-nigh! prayer with
my 4-year-old grandchild, when we came to the parl,
‘If T should die before I wake,” she stopped abruptly,
and with a very frightened expression on her little face, _
she asked, ‘Nana, do you think 1 WILL die before I

i tried 10 comfort her by saying 1 was sure she
wouldn't, Then I set abvut to revise that prayer tu give
it a more positive and less frightening approach.

lL enclose it for publication on the chance that some of
your readers might want to use it.

“Now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray You, Lord, my soul to keep.

Please keep me safe ‘til I wake

To love and serve You, for Your sake.”

1 strongly disagree, We have already spen! a lot of
money on her that we didn’t spend on the others.

Besides, [ think giving her money would do her mare

harm than good.

We would appreciate the opinion of an outsider.

MOTHER,

DEAR ABBY: I am a 12-year-old boy with an 8-
‘year-old brather, named David, whe is a rat-fink.

David wore my Buy Scout hat and tovk my brand
new bugle outside and blew it last Saturday while I was
at the dentist's.

When I found cut about it J] gave him a little sheve
and he fell against the fence and got a litile tiny cut on
his head, and maybe two drops af bleed cameoul,

He ran in the house screaming, and my mother
grounded me fur a whole week.

She didn't say one word to David aboul wearing my
hat and blowing my bugle. Was this fair? How can ]
make my mother realize that every lime something
happens it is not always my fault because I am «lider
and should know better? (HER words.) Thank you.
SHELDON

DEAR SHELDON: Tell your mother what you have
told me (or show her this item) and ask for her com-
ment. Meanwhile, as a Boy Scout you are pledged to be
“kind, truthful and obedient.” If you are, you'll win in
the end, and the “fink” may follaw your example and
