It was for prejudice reasons and not my work production. I feel my reputation in a small town has been ruined, and it really gets me depressed. I would like to get another job but fear getting fired again. How do I cope with this? A. Your reputation has, of course, not been ruined. If you hold no bitter feelings and act in a dignified manner, you will have other job offers. Do not hold this thought of being fired again, but take a new job, give it all you have of loyalty, efficiency and good spirit and you will succeed spendidly. Don't let this experience throw you. Forget it and look only to the future. We are sending you our booklet, Enthusiasm, which helped others with problems such as yours. Anyone wishing a free copy may write to us at Box 500, Pawling, N.Y. 12564. Alcoholic Marriage Q. I read a letter in your column from a woman who felt something was still lacking in her marriage after her husband joined A A and became sober. I and a lot of other mates have felt this way before; joining Al-Anon family groups. Both partners in an alcoholic marriage need the help of a growth program. Al-Anon shows us how to meet the responsibility of ad­ justing to new problems of our relationship with dignity, grace and love. There are Al-Anon family groups seven nights ? week, and a call to the mental health clinic willtell you where to find the closest meeting. Please pass the word along. A. Thank you for this excellent suggestion. We are indeed glad to pass this word along. He's the Only One Q. I Ike this boy a lot but I don't think he feels the same way about me. See, he is going with this girl in my class. She does things behind his back, and then I tell him about it. But all he does about it is break up with her and she tells him she's sorry, and they go back together again. She doesn't like him the same way I do! I know he is the only one for me! I need help desperately. A. Wonder why you are hung up on this boy? He doesn't appear to be all that smart. Seems as though he falls for anything. Surely there must be a better boy for you somewhere around. Try the technique of "couldn't care less." You have been paying too much attention to this boy and that will never get his interest. Find somebody else. You will miss a lot if you don't. How Much Do Teenagers Need? Q. We are a conservative couple with two teenage children. This problem comes up all the time: what they need and what they think they need. My husband gets mad at me if I let them spend their own money for something they don't need. And he doesn't want me to buy anything for them they don't ab­ solutely need. I would like to know how a person can reason with them and what guidelines to take. A. Somewhere between your more permissive attitude and your husband's harsher point of view is where the proper course probably lies. The whole matter of what children want and need is the area in which business sense and character formation lies. By giving children too much too easily we weaken them. By clamping down on them too severely we may create alienation. You and your husband would do well to emplov compromise between these two extremes. If there is something you would like to ask Dr and Mrs Peale, write to them at Box 500, Pawling, N.Y. 12564.
