I WENTY -EIGHT POUGHKEEPSIE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY, JULY 5, 1961 Dorothy Dix Letter Box Dear Helen: I gambled lost. A man promised me silver moon on a golden platter if I would marry him. ing a divorcee 'with three small children and none too good health, I said yes. This entailed selling everything in my house and moving to the state where the moon, in the form of money, awaited us. played Mrs.

Santa until all mine had been spent and bills stacked sky high. The children and came back tthe empty old house to start life over again. My advice women is: turn deaf ears sweet talk, hang on to what money you've got and, if. a man promises you the moon, let him 80, NEVEr 11 113 yours. -Poor-but-Wiser Dear Wiser: At least 'you've profited by your experience.

Next time, and there will be next, for every day Is a new beginning, put emphasis on the spiritual and less on the in seek. understanding love rather than financial security: -Given that; you really will be rich. Dear Helen: What would you do if a member of your family stole and lled? When I write this it sends cold shivers down my back for the and prevaricator is my darling nineyear old granddaughter whom love dearly. Until I discovered what she was doing I had her here every day and on Sundays took her to with me. We read Bible churches tome.

I loved her my gether, she went shopping, with own children. Then I began missing small items and finally valuable necklace. She confessed taking it and begged forgiveness. I said no more. Her eyes were red from crying when she went home.

Her mother wanted to know why. She explained that I had given her the necklace, then shook my fist under her- nose till in selfdefense, she "confessed" to hav. ing taken It. Now my son and his wife and my granddaughter will have nothing to do with me and my husband. daughter-in-law is very strict with the child.

Maybe this is responsible for her twisted morals. Help me clear up this dreadful mess. -Grannie Dear Grannie: Clarify this alarming situation at once. Ask your son and his wife to to your home and bring their little girl. Tell the truth in her presence.

Do it with love, not malice, and make it clear' that she needs immediate help. She could be a kleptomaniac, which as you know. is an irresistible light-fingeredness in people who steal for the sake of stealing. It is a form of insanity and requires psychiatric treatment. Your son, being your son, should respect your wishes.

Take charge! Dear Helen: Why is it that soldiers don't have the public's respect in peacetime? Decent girls shy away from us. It it because we are judged by others of our kind? There are bad apples along with good ones in every barrel. Why should we, the good ones, suffer? -Soldier Dear Soldier: Put it up to your chaplain. Ask him to arrange social get-togethers with the help of local organizations. If your behavior merits it, you'll be invited back.

Alicia Hart Beauty Hints TOO-SNUG TEENS The teen-ager who squeezes herself into tight pants and skirts on the theory that this will make her look thinner is fooling herself, and only herself. Tight clothes invariably make the wearer looks fatter. There's only one way to look slim: cut down on the amount you're eating, Meanwhile, buy your clothes in the correct size for you. This should be a size that permits you ease both in standing and sitting, as well as walking comfort.

It you've never tried this 'before, take a look at yourself in the full-length mirror in the fitting room and see how much better you look. Instantly, you will look taller, slimmer, straighter. If you're Mrs. Sheridan, Pawling, Celebrate 25th Anniversary Former Mayor John A. Sheridan and Mrs.

The Doctor Says: Guard Against Mold, Fungas NEA In a preceding column, I pointed out the uselessness of trying to prevent ringworm, dishpan hands and related disturbances by application of mold and fungus killers (myocides and fungicides). One eminent authority on skin diseases (Sulzberger) has gone SO far as to write that popularly used preparations are "largely useless," even when they do not produce, a "treatment dermatitis" greater severity than the disturbance for which they were prescribed. I also emphasized that prevention and cure were only possible if causative micro-organisms were deprived of the diet of skin peelings and fluids (mostly sweat) on which they are able to thrive and reproduce. If you are mindful of these principles, here in detail are the steps, you can take to prevent initial infections and later recurrences: Bathe daily, preferably on arising each morning.

Dry thoroughly, especially those areas covered by hair (armpit, chest, pubis) and wherever skin surfaces come in contact (between fingers and toes, in crotch, beneath breasts, in belly wrinkles" if obese). After drying, apply to conareas a nonmedicated, nonscented, talcum powder.

You can compromise, this year, by wearing culottes. They'll be much more flattering, will you room for action and you'll be very much in fashion. One month Greg got a in arithmetic. It shocked him SO that he stopped jumping over homework examples he couldn't immediately solve. Next report he got a for, his.

month's work: and on test paper found his teacher's comment: "This -work shows good improvement." When he showed these achievements to his mother. she kissed him and said, "That must make you nice." Later, to their display, his father merely smiled and said, "Want to drive downtown with me to pick up my engineering magazine?" Nobody rewarded Greg with praise for his industry. Nobody promised to take him to the circus for his steadfastness or paid him a dollar for it. Nobody suggested in any way that earthly reward always results from virtue, though Greg's parents always are surprising him with gifts of delight in him like a new pen, a box of crayons. a small glass rooster for his bookshelf.

I don't think much either of always rewarding children for virtue. Parents who feel compelled to produce circus tickets, money and other rewards for a child's industry, helpfulness and other virtues create, I think, an expectation that is unjustified. The world does not always reward us for moral performance. A brave young man voland is turned paraplegic. unteers for military, serviceWe can spend years working for an employer in the hope that he will reward us with promotion fellow and who find has that been it's pro- the moted instead.

We can sacrifice our need for dental' care to send Jimmy to summer campand lose two teeth instead of gaining Jimmy's devotion. We can spend our whole lives putting on the most virtuous performance only to become sick with depression or rage at the realization that we are not to be rewarded. As the man said, "Virtue is its own reward." Unfortunately the phrase is so few ever ponder it. Parents should. We have no right whatever to suggest to children that reward always follows virtue.

This is not a moral law as Jesus told us when he said "Great is your. reward in heaven." So we'd better stop confusing earth with heaven for children. Because in adulthood they can become furious with us as they begin to discover. the truth: that we cannot always wait for others to reward our virtue but have to learn how to reward it ourselves. They justly accuse us of sentimentality and misdirection.
