She said his fatherly pats had become bold pinches and squeezes and she wanted your advice on How to keep him in line without jeopardizing he Job. It so happens that i am Aboss and my problem is a Secretary who won t keep he hands off me. I am 59 and no handsome Lover Type. My Secretary is 29 and extremely at Tractive. She is also very competent and knows this office from top to Bottom. If 1, fired her it would take months to break in a new girl. This Paw ing has been going on for nine years. Please Tell me what Todo. I am in urgent need of an answer. Also also if you have been suffering with the problem for nine years it can t be very urgent i will give you the same advice i gave the Secretary who wrote. Switcher kidding. Dear Ann Landers this let Ter May sound terribly stupid but it is a problem that both ers not Only me but some of my friends. Maybe you can help. I am a girl 16, and have been dating for Over a year. 1 Page 14 go with Nice Fellows and my folks have met and approved of them All. The problem i that whenever i leave the House my Mother and father both kiss me Good Bye As if i am going to Europe or something. The other evening my dad was in the Back of the House and my Mother shouted to him come kiss Ellie Good Bye she s i Felt like fool. Please Tell me what to do about this kissing Kin dear Kin Stop parents sound like warm hearted people who love you and Aren t ashamed to show you could read the letters i get from teen agers whose parents give them the deep free a you d appreciate yours. Dear Ann Landers recently you printed a letter dealing with parents children an Money. You gave the impression that you Are opposed to parents giving adult sons or daughters Money. Have you considered the age of the Par ent and the amount of Money involved giving Money does not necessarily result in loss of income or Security. It might merely re quire an investment that would yield More tax free dollars. An annual gift of $3,000 would not Only endear the Parent to the child but yield greater net results after estate taxes. And no gift tax would be involved either. Since you generally consult experts Why did t you consult an estate planner before you answered the Mother s letter great neck attorney dear great neck i did t need to consult an expert on that one. I knew the answer. And it has nothing to do wit estate planning or gift tax. Your notion that an annual present of $3,000 will endear a Parent to a child is Many confused parents have the notion that Money an gifts arc appropriate substitutes for time and Trust funds Are appealing because it s cheaper than giving the Money to the granted some trusts make a Greal Deal of sense especially where there Isan incompetent or foolish wife who would blow an estate if Shehad the Chance. But the other Side of the Coin should not be ignored. If a hid knows he is due to inherit a staggering sum at 21 it May kill his incentive to stay in school or Goto work heaven forbid and then you have a bum on you hands.
