Then, I learned that she and her new husband changed their minds about moving out of town. They're going to stay in our hometown for about six months before they move. That plan would be fine ex cept for one thing; I’m attracted to my new brother-in-law. I find him to be very desira ble. Sometimes my feelings are almost un controllable. I was hoping that my sister and her husband would leave town so I could try to get over that man. ; 1 l°ve ™y sister dearly and I don't want to hurt her. So far, she doesn't know about my feelings and neither does my brother-in law. What is the best thing for me to do with out making a mess of everything? A Loving Sister Dear Loving Sister, The best thing for you to do is nothing. Leave your sister’s marriage alone. If your goal is to pursue your brother-in-law, only trouble will result. Uncontrollable” romantic feelings must be harnessed and re-directed. Your sister and your brother-in-law have made a com mitment to each other. If you do love your sis ter dearly, you will look elsewhere for love. Your feelings of admiration for your birother in-law should remain as feelings of admira tion only. Don't take the situation any fur ther than it is now. • Carole , Dear Carole, I am a recent college graduate. It has been very frustrating to find a job. I expected to have a job by now so I. can live on my own. Instead, I had to ask my parents if I can live with them. I appreciate living with Mom and Arts Council Seeks Artists The N.C.

We used to be a happy family but now we argue all the time. Please answer two questions for me: How can I get along better with my parents? How can I find a job? Frustrated Graduate Dear Frustrated Graduate, It is often difficult for a person to "fit" back into the family after moving out. Both you and your parents have had new experiences and new insights while you were away at school. Your love for each other may still re main but your understanding and tolerance may have changed. One suggestion to help your family rela tionship improve is for you to plan and pre pare yourself to move out. But while you are living with your parents do everything to carry your share of household responsibili ties. Don't create any work for your parents. Perform your share of duties willingly, not grudgingly. Don't interfere with your parr ents' routine of activities. While you look for employment in your chosen career accept any job you can find. Even if you hold a job briefly it will provide you with some immediate income. When you find a job, pay your parents a set amount to cover your expenses. Relate to your parents as one caring, responsible adult and they “ will probably treat you as such. Carole Editor's Note: Carole B.

You know the special feeling you had as a soldier. Sharing work, teaming up with people who became good friends. Helping them, being helped. Those same friends probably aren’t in the nearby Army Reserve unit. But people very much like them are. So one weekend a month and two weeks a year, you could be sharing the friendship with some new old friends. The part-time salary is worth checking into. Give us a call: 1-800-USA-ARMY f Williams Lends Name To Eyewear The television and film star — himself an eyeglass wearer off cam era -- has teamed up with Kenmark Optical Company of Louisville, KY, to represent the firm's new collec tion, called appropriately enough, Billy Dee's Eyewear. According to Kenmark President Mark Kerman, the initial collection consists of four ophthalmic styles (for prescription) and two sunglass styles. All will be available in Jan uary from opticians and optome trists, and at retail boutiques and de partment stores throughout the Charlotte area. The selection of Mr. Williams to represent Kenmark was not made without considerable planning and thought, said Mr. Kerman. "Our research indicates that there is one special black personality whose style has enormous appeal among young people of all ethnic backgrounds, and among men and women and young people as well as old. That person is Billy Dee Wil liams." The research also shows that black consumers tend to purchase products that have recognizable, branded names. This is especially true, said Mr. Kerman, of apparel and accessories. The styles that bear Williams' name are in colors chosen by black consumers as being the most flatter ing. Such basics as goldtones and browns also will be available to widen the appeal to the market. Mr. Kerman said Billy Dec's Eye AACC To Sponsor Talent Show The Afro-American Cultural Center will be sponsoring two Children's Talent Shows in Feb ruary. Entry forms are available at the Center. The deadline for entering the talent shows is Feb ruary 6, 5 p.m. The dates of the shows are as follows: trades K-6 , February 20, 7:30 p.m.; Grades 7-12, Febru ary 22, 4 p.m. Both shows will be held in the Attic Theatre at the Center, 1401 N. Myers St. For additional information, call the Afro-American Cultural Center, 374-1565. r-~ - Billy Dee Williams represents new eyeglass collection by Ken mark. wear represents a major initiative on the part of his company to serve a market that has until now not re ceived sufficient attention by eye wear marketers and distributors. A second aspect of the campaign . n on behalf of Billy Dee's Eyewear will be a program to promote vi sion care. One particular concern is the high incidence of glaucoma among the black population. Glaucoma is known as the "silent” eye disease, as there are virtually no symptoms of the ailment. It is for this reason that Williams, in per sonal appearances as well as on TV and radio, will encourage black peo ple to be tested regularly, so that appropriate remedies can be taken if there is a vision problem. Kenmark Optical, founded in 1972, is a leading importer and dis tributor of optical frames.
