Can you give me the ABCs of success? Dan In Monterey Dear Dan: Ability. Breaki. sale. Courage. Dear Readers: Something wonderful and totally unexpected has happened. Let me tell you about it. A few months ago Mr. and Mrs. X wrote from Fort Worth. Ihey said they were not wealthy, but "comfortable," and getting on in years. Their children had given them very little pleasure. The grandchildren were like strangers paid no attention to them whatever and through the years rarely acknowledged a gift Then the question: "Can you, Ann Landers, suggest a charity or cause that is completely honest one that puts the money where it is supposed to go and doesn't pour a fortune into salaries, expense accounts, mailing and promo- tion?" My reply: "I recommend the Hereditary Disease Foundation, Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1204, Beverly Hills, Calif. 90212. They pay no salaries and employ no public relations firm. Every contributed dollar goes to the cause. Their record is unique and exem9701 plary." Within five days I received a call from the president of the Hereditary Disease Foundation. Selected sweaters for misses. Sale 14.99 Ann Landers e. generosity. Dear Ann: Because your column is an educational vehicle, I am asking for your help. Thousands of abused and ne- glected children are removed from their homes every year. They need to be placed temporarily with foster parents. However, too few families are willing to go through the necessary procedures to get a foster child. Please, those who are interested, look in the phone book under state or county government and find the family or social service number. It may take several calls until you get the right office, but stick with it. You may turn a young person's life around, and there are few activities that can make you feel better about Social Worker U.S.A. yourself. Dear S.W.: Well said. I hope your plea produces action. Dear Ann Landen: This is for the woman in Palm Beach who signed herself "Daffy about My Poodles." I know exactly how she feels and I congratulate her for being so honest. I have two teenagers and a sourball husband. I get very little affection from my husband, who is North Carolina, Virginia and too busy trying to become chairman of the board. Our kids are Michigan. The checks ranged from $1 up. lippy and quarrelM.C. from Cleveland sent $500. some. G.G. from Rockingham, N.C., sent My two canaries, "Tweetie Pie" a second check.

By CHILDREN'S EXPRESS Youths should not be excluded from the work force just because they're younger, said Frank Slo-bi- "For a young person to go through their teenage years into young adulthood without some meaningful work experience is a terribly destructive thing," said Mr. Slobig, director of the Roosevelt Centennial Youth Project in Washington, D.C. "This is in terms of having a sense of their h and own capability and as far as their future potential is self-wort- concerned." What Slobig is trying to do is get rid of the youth unejployment problem in America. He told us that of the 11 Vi million people out of work, "about 40 percent of them are between the ages of 16 and 24. "Reagan holds up the want ads and says, 'Look at all these jobs.' But if you took all the want ads from every paper in the country and somehow could magically fill all thoese jobs tomorrow, you'd Orig. only fill a million jobs. And it's not very likely that many of those jobs would go to young people." In this country there's still prejudice. Mr. Slobig told us that 18 out of every 100 minority youths are employed as compared to 45 vhite youths, "which is still not feood," he said. "Young black kids have a much harder time. The white kid who drops out of school has still got a better chance of getting a job than the black kid who finishes school." According to Mr. Slobig, hispan-ic- s and blacks would have an attitude to drop out because "if you were to see your older brother, your aunt or whomever, go through school and still not be able to get a job, you'd say, 'What's the use? Why bother?' "A lot of young people who grow up in poor families in the slums have never had the experience of having someone in their family work," Mr. Slobig added. "How demoralizing, how deadening that must be. No wonder some young people don't have any sense of hope." oooooooopoooooooooooo 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 o 0 0 0 o 0 0 0 0 o o $18 $18 $18 $18 $18 $18 Sale 6.99 6.99 6.99 6.99 6.99 6.99 Selected plaid shirts for juniors.
