"Always a bridesmaid but never a bride"" A few of my friends have complained recently about the high cost of being a bridesmaid Is there anything one can do to keep the cost down? Budgeted. Dear Budgeted: Usually not. Once you've ac­ cepted an invitation to be a wed­ ding attendant, you've commit­ ted yourself to buying a dress, the style and price is picked by the bride. You might find yourself spending anywhere from $35 to $80 for the dress if the bride wants everyone to look uniform. about $20 may have to be paid for shoes and other accessories. So. remember that being a bridesmaid is an honor, but it's also an expense. Think carefully before accepting that chance to walk down the aisle Ask the bride what kind of dress you will be wearing and if it will be possible for you to make your, own dress to match the ones bought in the store. Many brides try to pick out dresses they think their bridesmaids will wear again It's a nice idea, but it rarely works. I know a few brides who have given the dresses to their bridesmaids as a present If this doesn't happen to you. en­ joy being a bridesmaid. It can be a very beautiful experience.

SENIOR CITIZEN'S CORNER HELPFUL IDEAS FOR SUCCESSFUL RETIREMENT Takes Awhile A sequoia tree--among the oldest living things on earth- takes 300 years to fully mature. No Skeleton A jellyfish doesn't have a skeleton and over 90 per cent of its body is "jellylike." Retirement Test Improved Changes were announced recently in the social security p r o g r a m ' s " r e t i r e m e n t test"--the measure used to decide whether benefits can be paid to people who work after their benefits begin. For people 65 and over, the an­ nual exempt amount--the yearly earnings a person can have and still receive all benefits--is raised to $4,000 for 1978. A person having earnings above $4,000 has $1 withheld for each $2 of earnings above $4,000. Further increases in the ex­ empt amount for people over 65 are scheduled: to $4,500 in 1979; $5,000 for 1980; $5,500 for 1981; and $6,000 for 1982. After 1982, the annual exempt amount is slated to increase to keep pace with increases in average wages. Another feature of the new law provides that--beginning in 1982--no benefits will be withheld because of earnings when a per­ son becomes 70. For persons under 65, the ex­ empt amount is set at $3,240 for 1978 with increases in future years scheduled to stay in line with average wage levels. The original tales of Mother Goose--before the nursery rhymes --were moral tales warning of the dangers of curiosity and trespassing. mint V lV MAY NIGHT SELL THAT BICYCLE THAT REFRIGERATOR SELL THAT BOAT AND MOTOR YOU NO LONGER USE SELL THAT SET OF DRUMS THE NEIGHBORS HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT ^ SELL THAT EXTRA SET OF WASH TUBS • SELL THAT SHOTGUN, FISHING RODS, GOLF CLUBS, CAMERA OR BINOCULARS That is if you listed your items for sale in Plaindealer Want Ads!...You'll get quick results...
