Page 14, The Herald, Friday, Octaber 27, 1978 Dea rAbby| DEAR ABBY: All through school T went with Steve (fake name), although my mother hated him. He was a really nice kid, but he was poor, and my mom kept telling me that I could do better. She even told him to his face that she would rather see her daughter dead than married to him! ; Well, we loved each other, and got married against my mother’s wishes. Naturally, Steve and my mom don’t speak to each other. Irecently had a baby (mom’s first grandchild) and now she’s trying te make up with Steve, but he’s still hurt about the way she treated him ail those years. Mom invited us to her house, and Steve says I can go if 1 want to but he'll never set foot in her house, He says if she wants to see the baby she'll have to come here while he’s at work. What can I do? I can’t blame Steve for feeling the way he does, but she's still my mother and this terrible feud between them makes itawfully hard on me. DOWNIN THE DUMPS DEAR DOWN: | hope you can persuade Steve that forgiveness is a mark of maturity, Life is too short to hold a grudge. Harry E, Fosilick said, “Hating people is like bur- ning down your house to get rid of a rat." Wise man, Herry. DEAR ABBY: This is the second marriage for both of us, and it would be perfect except for one thing. My husband is a very successful small-town mer- chant who is well-known and admired in this com- munity. . Every day he pockets part of the cash he takes in se he won't have to pay so much income tax. Is this considered a serious offense? What can happen to him if he is caught? I don’t dare ask anyone but you. Please print your reply but don’t mention my name or town. Hurry your _ answer. I love this manand I am worried. NAME WITHHELD DEAR NAME: Avoiding income tax Is a very serious offense and if caught and found guilty your husband could be fined, jailed or both. So if you love him, per- suadeé him to play it straight, He may not eat as well, but he'll sleep better, DEAR ABBY: We work in a store, and our hours are from 9 a.m. to5 p.m. We are usually here at 9:30 a.m. preparing for the day’s business, which requires getting the money and merchandise out. Our problem concerns impatient customers who stand outside between 9:30 and 9 a.m. banging on the door and rattling the knob until it sounds like the building is coming down. Some of them even yell and gesture demanding that we apen the door! We have a sign on the door plainly stating that we open at 9a.m. Sometimes we open a few minutes early because we'd rather let them sland inside than put up with their infernal racket. ; Is there a solution to this problem? COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA DEAR C.B.: Put a shade on your door and curtains on your windows so you'll not be in evidence. (Hf they can’t see you, they won't hassle you.)
