SEC HON I - PAGE 4 • PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 21. 1 ^Pfgeneral̂ ^™ News k out fbr duplicate refunds in family Turning Point slates meeting in January - Because domestic violence has happened again, a woman and her children are seeking shelter away from their home. Someone else opens their door to provide temporary housing. Turning Point, a McHenry C o u n t y n o t - f o r - p r o f i t organization that serves all family members involved in domestic violence, provides safe homes when family member^' have no other place to go. Those who offer safe homes express a genuine concern for others. They are willing to provide an open ear and to accept whatever the individual decides is best for her family. The rewards of being a safe home provider are great. There is the ultimate satisfaction of knowing that one has helped someone else. The skills of beî g a good listener without being judgmental extend to friends, co-workers, and family. Providing safe homes is only one of the services of Turning Point. For those who would like to learn more about Turning Point, an information night will beheld Thursday, Jan. 12, at the Presbyterian Church, corner of Calhoun and Tryon Streets, Woodstock, at 7:30 p.m. This is strictly a meeting to disseminate information about Turning Point; no commitment to the organization is required. Dear June: My daughter is 6, knows how to write her name and address and has her own bank account. She recently sent for her first refund and I was wondering whether this was proper. Is there any rule or law against a minor sending for a manufacturer's refund? - Debra, Egg Harbour, N.J. Dear Debra: No, I can't think of any reason why a child wouldn't be permitted to send for a refund, unless an alcoholic beverage was involved.

If there is such a restriction, it is valid and you'll have to abide by it. But, these problems aside, there are a lot of good reasons why you should encourage your 6-year-old to send for refund offers: First, by encouraging her, you'll be teaching your daughter that the little effort, time and trouble it takes to find refund forms and save box tops and labels can produce important savings. When she sends for a refund, help her to write down the name * of the offer she sent for and the * date she mailed it. What a ' wonderful way for her to learn s'some simple record keeping. When she receives her refund, her how to keep a record of savings. You'll see her eyes l%ht up as the total grows larger and larger. You may want to call the bank account her "college account," like many other parents do. Many parents would like to see effective supermarket shopping, as well as organized couponing and refunding, taught to their children in school. They can now suggest the home economics teachers in the junior and senior high school̂ find out about a new program called "Supermarket Shopping- Couponing and Refunding as part of a Home Economics- C o n s u m e r E d u c a t i o n Curriculum." Information is available from the American Coupon Club, Educational Division, P.O. Box 500, Franklin Square, NY 11010. SMART SHOPPER AWARD The Smart Shopper Award goes to Marie Mariani of Fowler, OH: "A local grocery store had a "Buy 1-Get 1 Free" special on the 2-pound box of Hungry Jack Pancake Mix. The price of a box was $1.19, and when the store doubled my 50-cent coupon, I got two boxes for just 19 cents! To top it off, I went home, emptied both boxes into a Tupperware container and sent for an offer that will get me a certificate for a dozen free eggs. What a great incentive for geting up and making breakfast!" Here's a refund form to write for: A $1.50 refund. Bic Deal! Wiley St., Milford, CT 06460. Send for a form by Jan. 31, 1964.

Louise Hipwell MIDNIGHT Midnight is a time of silence, Dancing shadows on the land. Quiet darkness moving around us, Mystery on every hand. " ̂ As our souls absorb the stillness, It brings to us a peaceful balm. Around us flows a great abundance, Or serenity and calm. Sitting still in comtemplation, Across the moon a gauzy cloud. Floating with no sound to reach us, Silver high so grand and proud. We watch the starts in sweet abandon, Leaving troubles far behind. Deep in thought we wander idly, Midnight, gentle on the mind.
