20 COURIER-POST, Comdtn, N. Friday, Auguit J4, 1973 Dear Abby y. ma re Money in Your Pocket Plan Can Be Improved Buried Under a Rug jI (1 acres of land which you think of as yard, sounds like a good growth investment to me. Your working savings account is apparently the right amount for you and you are using it exactly as you should. On the other hand, the stock you named is a bit volatile for someone in your position.

If you want to be in the market you should make a more conservative choice. However, I'd like to see about $3,500 set aside in non-risk savings before any such risk investment is even considered. Then, for someone with two small children and a mortgage, you're light on life insurance on the breadwinner. The money that is going to pay the premiums on the policies on you and the children should, in my opinion, go instead into an additional policy on the life of your husband. I suggest you add whatever is a to the amount you're now spending on these three policies to buy a decreasing term policy on his life which will match the decreasing balance on your mortgage.

This letter is typewritten. I learned to type in prison. Besides this, I have learned that I am not the only one in my little world who wants a better life for himself. But some inmates are not yet awake to the fact that even in the worst of prisons there are programs for education and improvement for those who want them. I have been in the worst of prisons, and I found that as long as I behaved myself and respected the rules, I was fairly treated.

Much to my amazement, I got less respect from some of my fellow inmates! These are the same guys who spoke of getting it together and being concerned for one another. Some who called for brotherhood, and being treated like men not animals, forgot what being a man was when it came to riots and I've been in several. I never was responsible for any of the uprisings in prisons, but I do know that most of them are lead into a blank wall! There is an old saying: "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime!" GOT IT TOGETHER IN NAPANOCH As far as college expense is concerned you'll be free to go to work when the children near college age. Your earnings, along with whatever they can earn, should cover this. You didn't tell me if your husband has a pension program in connection with his job.

If he doesn't, I'd like to see you accumulate something more for retirement. Perhaps you could put in a few years at work before and after the children are in college and save all of these earnings. Is it possible to get a copy of the three-part series you just ran on the small investor? A. Yes, this series, along with a copy of my recent column explaining bond investment, is available in reprint. To get all four columns, just send a self-addressed, stamped envelope and 10 dents in coin to me, Martha Patton, in care of the Courier-Post, Camden 08101, and ask for "Investment Series." By ABIGAIL VAN BUREN DEAR ABBY: I am serious about a young man I've been dating for nearly a year.

Since we've been dating he has been slowly Josing his hair. He is far from bald, Abby. His hairline is receding a little, and he's getting a bit thin on top, but he certainly doesn't give the impression of being bald. knew he was rather self-- conscious about it, but I never realized how much until last evening when he showed up lit a full toupee! I nearly fell oyer. is so full and unnatural looking it looks ridiculous.

He thinks it looks great, and it-has given him so much confidence, I hate to tell him the truth. But I want the old HIM back. What should I do? MISSING HIM DEAR MISSING: I don't care if a man wears a rug he can fly to Bagdad on, if HE thinks it looks great and it has restored his con-; jfidence, keep quiet. In time, you might suggest he have It "trimmed" a bit or replaced with a more natural-looking one. But for the moment, don't undermine his confidence.

DEAR ABBY: Something, bothers me. Whenever I clean out my closets and drawers I have a lot of clothes, shoes, purses, and lingerie I want to discard because I know I'll never wear them again, but I honestly don't know what to do with them. I hate to throw them away so I just pack them in boxes and store them in. the attic. Most things are good as new.

Some I hardly wore they are "mistakes" I made by buying them. I don't want to offer them to friends, relatives, or neighbors because I don't want them to think I think they are "in need." Don't recommend Goodwill or The Salvation Army. I want to give my By MARTHA TATTON Gannett News Service We are in our thirties with two children, 6 and 4. My husband's take-home pay is $10,500 annually. We have no debts other than our home mortgage.

Our eight-room house is on three acres, in an improving rural area. We save about $40 to $60 per week in a regular pass-book account, use these savings for major purchases but try to keep $1,500 to $2,000 in reserve. We have 45 shares of stock, $20,000 in life insurance on the children and me to cover funeral expenses. I might add that I have my degree and am capable of getting a decent job. In short, we feel more blessed than many, but funds for college or further investments seem out of the question.

Do you have any suggestions? I do have one or two suggestions. But you may be doing a better job of money management than you think. For example, that three platform 4 HAM lit i MRS. JOHN W. GORMAN Brides liam G.

American Hoeehst maker of Trevira, first did a number of psychological studies to find out how consumers feel, consciously and subconsciously, when they shop for clothes. Then they got Dr. Joyce Brothers, well-known psychologist, to star in "a daily half-hour TV show, "Living Easy with Dr. Joyce Brothers" on which fabrics and fashion designers, beauty experts and sewing experts appear as guests. On fashion-starved TV, the show is doing very well.

Dr. Brothers appears as a consumer rather than as a psychologist, but one who is aware of more than the material issues of quality. Discussions often include psychological aspects of fashion, such as the effects of colors and patterns, or the possibility that women subconsciously choose clothes that please others than themselves.
