DEAR DEBBIE: Thirty years ago my brother and I had a falling out that has kept us apart ever since. The problem started after our father died. My brother had just started college and I was forced to quit high school and go to work to support the family. Today he is a wealthy lawyer and I run a concession stand in an office building. A few weeks ago he reached my son privately and offered to pay his way through medical school. I know this, would ease his guilt, and it is no secret that I could use’ the help, but I find it impossible to open my heart to him. My son says he would rather not go to medical school if it is a question of my losing my dignity. My wife begs me to put my pride aside for the sake of our son’s future. She blames my mother because she was the one who decided my brother was college material and I was not. This is a real dilemma. TROUBLED MAN DEAR TROUBLED: A college education in and of itself is no guarantee of success in life. There is no way of telling what direction your life would have taken even if you had gone to college. But as far as that goes, your wife is right. No one should decide who is college material and who is not. It seems a pity that your decision should continue to affect your son’s future. If you feel your life was affected deeply by a lack of education, why would you stand in the way of your son’s? Whether or not you can forgive your brother is up to you, but I do believe your son’s future should be in his own hands. • * « DEAR DEBBIE: My husband and I recently. found out that our daughter is having an affair with a married man. We feared this would hap pen when she moved into her own apartment and now that it has, we blame ourselves. We have tried to talk to her, but she refuses to listen. Now she won’t even talk to me on the phone. She refuses to believe that the man she's in love with is married. Our son has threatened to go to her place and force his sister to listen. We are beside ourselves with not knowing what to do. HEARTSICK MOTHER DEAR HEARTSICK: There is nothing you can do except possibly be patient and be there for her. Because sooner or later the reality and fruitlessness of her situa tion will come to her. When that happens she is going to need family and friends. * * • DEAR DEBBIE: I am really worried about my wife. Our only daughter left for college and although we were all excited about her leaving and starting her adult life , away from home, my wife has slipped into a state of depression. They had a fabulous relationship. Now my daughter is al most three thousand miles away and my wife mopes. I have even caught her crying. When I speak to her about it she says she misses her and wishes she had chosen a college closer to home. She knows this is best for our daughter and has made me promise never to tell her about what is go ing on. A DAD DEAR DAD: Now is the time for your wife to either start school or become involved in some sort of a career. The sooner she starts the bet ter. Send your daughter a check so she can come home for Thanksgiving. Foothills View, November 12, 1981, Page 5 REFUNDING $$$ ANDSENSE by VICTORIA R. FLEMING gjf MRS. QUINTON DANIEL MACON JR.

Manufacturers and supermarkets come up with some very in novative refund and pro motion ideas to get our at tention — and our shop ping dollars. The pro gressive savings coupon recently distributed by one of the leading household product com panies in Sunday maga-, zine supplements offered a 15 cents cash-off stamp to affix to the actual coupon. However, any ad ditional products you buy could raise the pay-off up to almost a dollar. And my store is offering free samples of their generic brands of several items such as cleanser and bacon with the purchase of a comparable name brand product. These are just two of the countless deals that add a new spark to our refunding day and they’re a great way to get us to sample different products. Q. Sometimes after mailing a refund I end up with extra bits and pieces of labels, boxes, etc. What should I do with them? Hang on to them! Many companies (among them Procter & Gable, General Foods and Carnation) do similar deals on an annual (or even more frequent) basis. For example, on Carnation’s Eat-At-Home Pay-Off listed here, I had several lucky leftovers from their last deal which expired in the spring. These deals really inspire product loyalty.

Can you recommend one of those over-the-counter diet drugs? — C.P. I couldn t tell you which one to try, but you may want to try losing your weight without drugs if you want to keep your weight down. A six month study of 120 women showed that those who changed their eating habits were able to keep their weight down up to one year after they had stopped dieting. Those that depended on the appetite suppressing drug to curb their hunger pains regained (the year following Aeir diet) an average 63 percent of the weight they had lost. / ••/'/ I /;■ A ‘ ■ r '! \ Is it true that hospital patients have the right to refuse treatment? — C.J. Yes, if you are mentally competent, you have the right to refuse medication, surgery and other types of medical attention. (Of course, your doctor has the right to discharge you from his care too, if you won’t follow his advice.) How do you keep a bruise from swelling? — E.T. Immediately after the injury, cold compresses will stop the subsurface bleeding. After 24 hours, mild heat applied to the bruise, will increase blood flow in the un damaged vessels, thus allowing the removal of blood that has seeped into the skin. Pediatrics for Parents, a monthly health newsletter, further recommends that mild heat be applied several times daily until the discoloration has disappeared.
