What do you thjRteof a "classmates only" party for a 20-year high- school reunion? ' ^ I arh>on the planning committee that decided the first night should be for classmates only, and the second night a lovely dinner dance with spouses. All 18 members of the committee voted in favor of the idea. Abby, we figured that the first night we would all be so excited to see each other after 20 years, our spouses would be too bored (or jealous) to enjoy themselves anyway. We are not lust-hungry-we are friend-hungry-and after 20 years, don't you think we classmates deserve one evening together without our spouses? My husband is furious. GRANT HIGH GRAD. PORTLAND, ORE. DEAR GRANT HIGH GRAD: I can understand your husband's resentment, but since the planning committee voted unanimously for a "classmates only" party, the excluded spouses can unite for a "get even" party and have even a better time than the Grant grads. Take nothing for granted. DEAR ABBY: Our son is marrying a girl whose parents are putting on the wedding. The bride's mother told me that we could invite 100 people to the wedding, so I made up a list and sent it to her. (We live in the same town.) She sent the list back with some of the names crossed off! She crossed off my daughter and her husband because she didn't like them. Abby, my daughter is just as dear to me as my son who is being married. When I was told that we could invite 100 guests. I didn't think they had to be approved by the bride's mother. Please tell me how to handle this. I don't want to make a fuss, but I can't allow our daughter and son-in-k^v to'Nbe snubbed this way. ' HEARTBROKEN PARENTS DEAR HEARTBROKFN If vot ' aven't spoken to your son and his fiancee about this do so The bride's mother has no right to cross anyone off your list Tf vour son and his fiancee can't persuade this unreasonable woman o include your daughter and son-in-law, it's up to you and your husband to insist upon it. Please be gentle with her. She sounds disturbed. DEAR ABBY: In reply to the 99-pound woman who wanted to be a blood donor, all blood-collecting organizations have agreed on basic health requirements for blood donors, and one of these is that a donor must weigh 110 or more to donate a pint of blood. The amount of blood a person has in his body is directly proportional to his size, and one pint of blood represents over 13 percent of the total blood volume in a person weighing less than U0 pounds. Removing this much blood in a very short time (5-10 minutes) may well cause the donor to have a serious reaction. It is for the protection of the dorior that this rule was established. As you pointed out, it is not possible to "build up a*blood hank'" for one's family. Red blood cells last only 35 days; platelets, which are necessary for blood clotting, last only seven days; and plasma, when frozen, is usable for only one year. People who are concerned about their family's future needs should help the American Red Cross by donating blood and. in addition, by recruiting family members, friends and fellow workers to become regular blood donors to ensure that there is always a safe and adequate blood supply available for all patients w ho need it.
