"Worried" wanted to know if the' girl should be warned. I was stunned when you told ber to "MYOB." Ten years ago, I was engaged to marry "Dan." Two weeks before the wedding, my father voiced his suspicions.

When I assured Dad that Dan was in excellent financial shape, he told me Dan had borrowed $1,000 from him to buy me an engagement present The truth was that Dan spent only $100 on that gift The year I lived with Dan, he was always able to explain all the questions I had raised about his honesty. When I learned about the loan from my father, I decided to look in Dan's desk drawers for more "information." I found out his car had been repossessed (not stolen, as he claimed), that be had made charges on my credit card to the limit and hadn't made any payments, that he had been stealing my mail, and that he had not worked in months although we celebrated several When it became clear that Dan was a con-man and a compulsive liar, I called off the wedding. It took me years to pay off the debts he incurred, including a big one for my engagement and wedding rings. So, please, Ann, when your readers ask about tipping off someone who Is about to many a wafting disaster," don't discourage them and hope someone else will make the move. Suffered But Spared In Santa Monica Dear Monica: of course, yon are right I caught unprecedented, world-class flak for my senseless response.

Dear Ann Landers: I am outraged at a story I read in the Biloxi Sun Herald. It seems a senior citizen on disability won a $15,000 jackpot gambling at a casino. This woman has emphysema, lives in public housing and spends $20 of the taxpayers' money every week sitting in a smoke-filled casino and gambling. What's worse is that she had to spend that $15,000 or the government would take it away from her.

If she saved it Uncle Sam would cut off her disability. Federal officials told her she could not pay bills with it nor could she give it to her children. She had to spend it on things for herself and, they informed ber, "the sooocr the better." So, the bewildered woman bought a car, several outfits, some living room furniture, 10 pairs of shoes and a vacuum cleaner. How can our public officials allow this to happen? I work hard every day and would love to have $15,000 to blow on a shopping spree. At least this woman figured out a way to beat the system.

What do you say? Mad in Dear Mad Mhu I say Uta Is Jst another example of kow common sense gets mangled vfeen It cabt la bureaucratic machinery. Dear Ann: I am a widow, observing my first wedding anniversary without my beloved husband. I have received one card and one pbone call. I've sect many cards to widowed friends, but bo more.

By Eric Brian Daily Sun staff writer Roy Stephens; Missing Youth Foundation executive director, will be the featured speaker at a Beatrice Area Jaycees-sponsored community event Thursday, May 12.

The Missing Youth Foundation is an agency that unites missing children with their families. Because many of the missing children come from economically disadvantaged homes and the cost of a private search can be prohibitive, the family is often unable to hire a qualified professional to aid in the search for the missing child. The agency's secondary purpose is to educate people about the risk of abduction, and how to prevent children from becoming victims. Another goal of the Missing Youth Foundation is to educate the community at large concerning the problem of missing children. Thursday's program, to be held from 7 p.m.-9 p.m.

at the Beatrice Eagles Club, 111 S. Eighth is part of that purpose. The foundation will also work with families in securing counseling by qualified experts because sometimes more problems arise from the readjustment at borne for the family, as well as the recovered child. The Missing Youth Foundation was incorporated in Nebraska in 1988. One of the founding board members and organizers was Joyce Catchall of Norfolk.

Cutshall's daughter, Jill, was 9 My Answer By Billy when she was abducted by a stranger on Aug. 13, 1987, in Norfolk. Stephens is recognized for his work on Jill's abduction, and the resulting kidnapping conviction of David Phelps, who was sentenced to life in prison for her abduction. Since the foundation's beginning, Stephens has located more than 55 missing children and successfully located more than 300 adults. Stephens has appeared on "America's Most Wanted" four times.

He has also received national media exposure on such television programs as "A Current Affair," "60 Minutes," "Geraldo" and "Larry King Live," and was featured in an article in USA Today. He has been named "The Best P.I. in the Business," according to Forbes Magazine, and was elected to the National Private Investigators Hall of Fame in 1988. Jenise Plegge and Art Weiland, Beatrice Area Jaycees, said concerned citizens, parents and teachers are encouraged to attend the presentation.

GRAHAM: Why are some people so difficult and unpleasant to be around? I have a neighbor wbo is always complaining and never expresses appreciation for anything you do for her.

In fact it seems like the more you help ber the more she complains. She is an older widow and needs people to help ber, but frankly I've almost stopped bothering because she is so negative, although as a Christian I guess I shouldn't feel this way. Mrs. VJ DEAR MRS. VJj Your neighbor illustrates an interesting principle about human nature: The more we complain the worse we often feel.

The Bible says, "When a man is gloomy, everything seems to go wrong; when be is cheerful, everything seems right" (Proverbs 1515 The Living Bible). Don't give up on your neighbor, but help her as you have opportunity even if she doesn't seem to appreciate it Jesus taught us, "Love your enemies. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even pagans do thair (Matthew 5:44, 46-47). In other words, we should show love to others even when they don't show any love or appreciation in return. This, after all, is the kind of love God has for us.

Pray for your neighbor also, and ask God to open the door for you 10 speak lovingly but openly about what shes doing. She may be so absorbed ber own problems and fears that she is totally unaware of how she hurts others by ber attitude. You may also find that she has been hurt by people in the past and this has turned her into a complaining, bitter person. Most of an. however, ask God to give you an 10 share Christ and Ha love wita ber.

God loves ber, and Christ died and rose aram to give ber hope for the future. God can change ber attstade, and He may want to use you as His instrument Graham Mm i lift!
