The person who overspends is usually spoiled and has been pampered most of his or her life. True False I Answers: 1. FALSE. According to Dr. Barbara Best, a psychiatrist, usually low-income families are used to squeezing pennies.

Those in upper income brackets complain a lot, but their lives are relatively unaffected. It's those in the middle-income bracket who are probably already living over their income who are most affected. 2. FALSE. Once they're at an age where they can understand the problem, children should be included in family discussions.

Often, teen-agers can contribute earnings or can help find solutions'. If, there is enough love and emotional security, economic problems can strengthen families. 3. TRUE. This is often called defensive spending or the I-can-spend-as-much-as-you-ean syn drome.

The result of this kind of immature behavior is usually disastrous to the budget. When one spouse automatically tries to match purchases with the other, a marriage is in trouble. The chances are there are serious emp-tlonal problems at the root of this game. 4. FALSE.

Attitudes about money begin long before high school in early childhood when money is often equated with love and security. How a person feels about money also depends on whether his parents struggled Ui make ends meet or were financially secure. 5. TRUE. Divorce raU are often directly relaued to financial crises.

Inflation tends to lower the self-esteem of mjiny wage-earners causing frustration that may be taken out on the family. 6. FALSE.

Initially, both partners fhould agree on a budget and should set common goals. 7. FALSE. If it's at all possible, a child should be given an allowance- even though it is relatively small. If you hand out money on whim of request you place yourself in the role of bencfaf-tor.

According to Grace Wein-stein, author of "Children and Money," an allowance is a learning tool for the child. 8. FALSE. It may come as a surprise, but some people embrace the thought of a depression. Some people fear a depression so much they're actually relieved when it arrives.

Others hope for a cataclysmic event, such as a depression, to shake them out of their rut. To some nostalgic folk, depression an aura of 9. FALSE.

nv Sbirrat.s x. sgkt -st) Indicate that the match is still continuing The match is being played in Bad Kissingen, West Germany. The Yugoslav Championship this year was a Zonal tournament '(qualifying for the next stage in World Championship competition), Therefore almost all the best players in the country took part. Veterans Alexander Matanovic (48) and Boris. Ivkov (45) tied for first place with 10 points out of 17.

Tied for third place Just 'S-point back were Matulovic (43), Velimlro-vic (36), Kovacevic (36), Knezevic (42) and Nikolac (36). Among those lied for third Matulovic and Veli-mirovlc were the lucky ones, qualifying for the Interzonal on tiebreak, while ihe other three will have to wait at least three more years for another chance. It is interesting to note Jean Flint bridge The disposition of a penalty card is an often misunderstood situation. Many players have the Impression that a penalty card has to be played at the first opportunity. This is often the case, but the details of the law are more complicated than that.

What Is really at issue though, is that many experienced players who do know the details of the law attempt to give the ruling, without calling the director. This practice Is ill-advised for two very good reasons. First, it is required that the director be called when there is any infraction of the rules, in short, play, and directors direct, and second, particularly when new or inexperienced players are Involved, every player at the table is entitled to hear a ruling explained by the proper authority the director and not by a player, no matter how knowledgable he may be.

Leokum Michael Pupin was born in what is now Yugoslavia in 1858. Even as a boy herding sheep he was curious about the world around him. During the long nights in the hills, he studied the stars and wondered about their twinkle. When Pupin came to the United Slates at the age of 15, he had -five cents, spoke no and knew no one. For two years he did odd Jobs.

He spent many evenings in Cooper Union, a free educational institution in New York City. When 17 years old, he found work in' a cracker factory. He used the boiler room as his laboratory, and slept in the factory attic with a German worker who taught him Greek and Latin. His brilliant work In the entrance examinations for Columbia University won him a four-year scholarship. After graduation, he studied in England and Germany, and then he returned to Columbia as instructor in the newly organized department of electrical engineering.

Pupin made many important contributions as a scientist and inventor. He greatly improved X-ray photography and solar astronomy. He worked out an apparatus for electri- 1 Interesing people Michael Pupin cal tuning and rectification. His induction coil made long distance tele- phone calls possible. Pupin was responsible for several of the Ideas that were used later in radio inventions.

Electro-scientists in the United States learned much from this brilliant man who had come to this country as a poor, young immigrant. Michael Pupin died in 1935. FUN TIME The Riddle Box 1.

Your underwear. Did you know? GULF -OF MEXICO There are many gulfs all over the world, but none compares with the Gulf of Mexico. It is so big that, its shoreline stretches for 3,100 miles, longer than that of any other gulf. Answer to yesterday's Puzzle box: Acrobat, Dancer, Actor. Dear Other Side: I received a blizzard of letters from teachers who wanted to express their point of view.

You SDoke for a large number and, I thank you. A subject you did not touch on was violence in Ann Landers Teachers unfairly treated Dear Ann: Here's something for the woman who wrote, "If you don't like children, get out of the teaching profession." Believe me, there are thousands of teachers who would be happy to do just that! We chose teaching as a career because we love children and dreamed of all the wonderful joys and mind-expanding experiences we could bring to them. Then what happens? Classrooms are overcrowded. You grow weary trying to meet the needs of 30 or 40 students. Not all of them have had breakfast or a good night's sleep.

More are being raised by sitters than parents. We get dozen's of roughnecks whose parents can't control them and are told, "Billy (or Betty) Is a real handful. Straighten this kid out." Salaries for teachers vary according to where you live. I happen to teach in a small town in Michigan where the pay Is notoriously poor. Teachers here have, to buy classroom supplies with money out of their own pockets, or do without.

(The administration's budget is very generous, however, when it comes to football.) The final straw: Good teachers set high standards for classroom behavior and academic achievement. The students and their parents complain to the administration that the teacher Is "expecting too much." The administration complains to the teacher that the parents and students are complaining. So after being In the middle without hope of change, you either give In to the students to save your Job, go crazy or leave the profession. Other Side Of The Fence A- the schools, thousands or teachers are physically attacked in the halls and. classrooms.

Students have been severely beaten and even killed in the cor- ridors Stealing is rampant and vandalism costs tay-payers millions of dollars. Pretty it isn't and there are no easy answers. Somehow, parents must accept responsibility for teaching their children respect for authority. This means taking a hard line against laziness, apathy, (-ii, I 1 I ui team unu ni.iuivuvv. T.I L.

Dear Ann Landers: I don't want to start another Civil War, but "Belle From Richmond" should have signed her letter "Dumbebell From Richmond." If she will look in a history book she'll find that Virginia was divided and fought on both sides the North and the South. Sometimes It was brother against brother, and fa- ther against son. As for "Chilly In Phil-ly," Virginia Is definitely below the Mason-Dixon line but any Northerner can tell you that they know when they cross that line.

There Is very little "Southern Hospitality." Southerners can come to Pennsylvania, however, and be treated very well. I've Been There Dear So have I and my experience was completely different. Some people have more people problems than others. A.
