Thurnflay; April N'T 0 II 0 I PARR SKVKW DEAR DOROTHY Youth Wants Some About Father Who By DOROTHV KICKER Dear Mrs, flicker: I am' turning (o you for a solution lo my problem which concerns my father. 'J'hs Dib'lc says, 'Honor thy father and mother" and it also says "Thou shall not lake Ihe name of (lie Lord thy Cod in vain." The dictionary says the word "father" is a title "of respect. Mrs. Rickcr, how can I honor and respect or love a man who calls me profane names? My father drinks. Wo cannot please him no matter what we do or how hard we try.

He picks oil all of us and lo (op it off he tells me ia get out of His house. I am not very easy to upset but I have gotten lo the where I am thinking of leaving home. The only trouble is tills would hurt my mother, whom love dearly. UTiaJ am I to do? Please help me! Confused Dear Contused: Some of my readers may not agree with me but I have always believed lliat if parents expect love and respect from their chit-, drcn they should earn it. Speaking as a parent, I think Mom and Dad should tie good examples for their offspring; showing them how 1 to fiel along with others, how to live right and how to be the right kind of wople.

The matter of birth Denton's C-C Hears Report Members of the Dcnton Chambe: of Commerce this week heard a progre-ss report of actions of the West Texas Chamber of Commerce of which Denion is a member. Speaking lo the group was fielc representative Paul Marable Jr. of Abilene. Of particular note during the talk was Marable's emphasis of the im portance of industry (o the growing West Texas area. Jle told "the C-C members statistics show Hint there is a definite population shift to in dustrial areas.

Therefore, he. said the presence of manufacturing the key to the growth of the entin area. In the same line, he said thi WTCC has taken no definite stant on Ihe tax situation in Texas, bu 5: has indicated, that anyfhing oth er than a corporate income la would be the most desirable. said the WTCC had considered Ih possibility of a state sales tax (ha would exempt food, drugs and she ter. In this way, he said, the ta wouldn't hurt the working man a much as experts sny, and consii erabie revenue could still be rais ed.

On the other hand, he said, if corporate incoir.e tax is asscssef Texas can look for a great nun her of industries to abandon th stale for olhar locations. "We 1 find ourselves being serviced wit goods from bordering states," said. Tnis, he contended, would up set the Texas economy greatly.

I realize full well there arc some oungsters who have every rea- on to love and honor their parents it fail to do so because of their xn short at- tudes. But some people simply do ot qualify as good parents and it ppcars your father may be one of icse people. You didn't mention your age but have the impression you are an dcr agcr. If that is true 1 uggest you and Mom join forces nd fry to show' your father a true icture of himself.

If he can once himself ELS others sec him, per- ops he will Iry to change. I cer- amly hope he is not so far off the rack'that he believes everybody ke is wrong and only he is right. Of course, I can't overlook the act that you may do things to ag- ravate him. If you do, it goes 'ithout saying that you shoulii hange, too. However, if he con nues lo make lite miserable for is family you or Mother could talk the religious advisor of your luirch or, as a last resort, talk a counselor of the Family Sor ice Agency which you will fine isted in your telephone directory OIINOXIOVS BOY Dear Mrs.
