Page A6 Fremont Wednesday, June 6, 1984 Telephone wonders both good, bad Like so many, of our technological mixture wonders, of the good the and the bad. For example: "Boy, are you hard to find at home!" my friend Edna exclaimed as I answered the phone. "What's that remark supposed to mean?" "I phoned you seven times yesterday, and six times the day before, and I can't remember how many times the day before that!" "But Edna, I was at home. Yesterday I wallpapered the bathroom, the day before that I was weeding the flower borders, and the day before that I had the flu." "Why didn't you answer your phone then?" "I did, or tried to. You probably didn't let it ring enough times." "Ha! How come you answered it on the second ring today?" "For once, would you believe, I sitting right beside the phone." All I got from her was a disgusted "Humph!" Now if you're like me, 99 percent of the time you can't get to the phone on any less than six rings, and then you spend the rest of the day wondering, "Who was it? Was it important?" But don't be like this: "Why don't you answer the phone?" I asked my son one day.

Thad my hands in bread dough. "I know it's Tom and I don't want to talk to him." "How can you tell it's Tom?" "I can tell by the ring." I let that one go by, but when I had counted 29 rings I couldn't stand it any longer. I grabbed the phone despite the bread dough all over my hands. "Geez, I was beginning to think there wasn't anybody at home," came Tom's voice. "Can I speak to Doug, please?" Wrong numbers are another aggravating minus for phones.

But again I try to remember that too, sometimes dial wrong numbers. So instead of slamming down the receiver i in disgust I try. to give a cheerful, "That's okay. I dial wrong numbers sometimes, too." Busy signals are exasperating when you are bursting with some news you want to share with a friend. When I finally reach her, I want to reproach her for being so yakkity.

But I try to let the enthusiasm for my news begin the conversation instead. VIEW FROM 20th ST. Orleatha Kellogg For me one of the most annoying and most abusive uses of the phone is the salesman. It's a downright invasion of privacy. Some days I want to yank the phone off the wall, especially when I've jumped out of the shower to answer the phone and find a salesman's voice wanting to sell me plastic siding for my brick veneer home.

A salesman always lets the phone ring and ring, and therefore you feel it must be an important call. On the plus side, I'm grateful for the steps and time saved when I can phone a store to inquire about a product, or to phone the druggist to have a prescription delivered. Need the rescue squad? The fire department? A doctor? A friend's comfort? At these times, the telephone can bring help or comfort in a matter of minutes. The phone also is a medium for instant news. "Mary and Ted had a baby boy." "John came through surgery and is resting well." "Sarah graduated with honors." "Mom, we arrived home safely." For the elderly, the shut-in, or the sick, whether they are at home or in the hospital, the phone truly is a friend a connection with the world outside.

For me, the best is being able to keep in touch with loved ones near and far away. The worst is those three- or four-ring calls. Perhaps my friend Pearl had a good solution for this kind of caller when she chastised me with: "If you don't have the time and patience to let my phone ring eight or more rings, then drop me a postcard. It'll do wonders for your impatience." Orleatha Kellogg is a Fremont woman whose column appears weekly in the Fremont Tribune. Homemade vanilla recipe has beans, vodka, sugar DEAR POLLY Could you please repeat the recipe for homemade vanilla? I cut it out some time ago, bought the vanilla beans and now can't find the recipe! MRS.

D.C. DEAR. MRS. D.C. This recipe, contributed by one of our readers, is easy and fun to make.

Cut one vanilla bean into several pieces. Put it in a glass jar with teaspoon sugar and 3 ounces vodka. Cover the jar tightly and let the vanilla bean steep for one month. Shake it every day. It will then be ready to use.

To make a larger quantity, you can double or triple the ingredients. POLLY DEAR POLLY After watching my friends do battle with their young children at bedtime, I devised this plan when mine were very young. I simply announce that it is bedtime; do they want to "walk" or "ride?" If they choose to ride, you can carry them in your arms, depending on their weight or the shape your back is in. Since I started this little procedure, my children actually argue about whose turn it is to go in first, instead of balking. If you have children who tend to have disturbing dreams, plant an idea as you tuck them in, such as Mr.

and Mrs. Gary Riggs Omaha. She manages Duling Op- tical in Omaha. The groom is a 1978 graduate of St. Pius High School in Lincoln and a 1982 graduate of Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln.

He is employed by Goracke and Wilcox certified public accountants. The couple will reside in Omaha. Advertising industry, companies grow up Effectiveness of older groups being noticed NEW YORK(AP)- A company is known by the people it keeps, and a growing number are keep; ing their mature and experienced employees rather than sending them to early retirement, says a consultant on aging. Another favorable sign, adds Meredith Gardner, is that the advertising industry is finally waking up to the fact that most of the nation's buying power is controlled by the over-50 generation. Miss Gardner is executive director of Too Young to Retire, a national project of the Public Forum Association, a non-profit educational organization.

"I believe Madison Avenue is going to change its pro-youth outlook as it begins to realize there is an exploding mature marketplace," Miss Gardner said in an interview. "Advertisers HOUSEHOLD HINTS just think of all the fun things we can do at the beach," or Polly Fisher "Soon we'll be going on vacation "Grandma is coming over tomorrow don't forget all the things you want to show her." This way they go to sleep thinking about nice things and are less likely to have bad dreams. Above all, never, use being sent to bed as a punishment. DENA DEAR DENA Thanks for sharing your tricks for making bedtime a pleasant, happy time. For your Pointer of the Week, you'll receive a copy of "Polly's Pointers: 1081 Helpful Hints for Making Everything Last Longer." Rhonda Novak and Randy Hummel, both of Fremont, were married May 19, 1984 in Immanuel Lutheran Church in Daykin.

Roland Hummel of Fairbury. Jeanette Strong of Fremont was maid of honor. Bridesmaids were Debbie Skinner and Cherie Harder, both of Fremont, and Denise Rose of Reynolds, sister of the groom. Dave Boerkircher of Denver, Colo. was best man.

"But per capita, the 55-to-64 age group is the most affluent in the country. Older people do buy TV sets, they do buy cars, they do buy liquor, they do travel.

Actually, people over 50 have 55 percent of the nation's disposable income. "This is double that of Madison Avenue's favorite 18- to 34-yearold group." Some companies already have recognized the buying power of the mature generation and are producing products aimed specifically at that population segment, Miss Gardner pointed out. "There are new types of jeans, new cosmetic lines, new hair colors for those over 50, for example," she said. Population projections indicate that as, the "baby boom" generation moves into the 50-plus group, there will be a shortage of young Americans in the workforce, Miss Gardner says. 6 Many companies are beginning to realize this, and are adopting strategic planning for the future, such as calling back former employees from retirement to fill the expected openings or retraining older workers to handle new tasks.

Miss Gardner, a former retirement consultant, says the major goal of her project is to change the outdated images and stereotypes that have plagued the elderly for generations. "As a consultant to many of the Fortune 500 corporations for some years," she says, "I have had ample opportunity to research stereotyping and document its impact on people. "The myths and misconceptions are endless, such as that older people are dependent on others. They don't want to work. Older people are inflexible and set in their ways.

Older people can't and don't want to learn. Older people are preoccupied with thoughts of death. Older people are incapable of developing new relationships. Older people don't care about or don't get enough sex. "These are all myths.

Clearly, some older people are guilty of these accusations. I know many 25-year-olds who are just as guilty." But, Miss Gardner says, if older people can't learn, why are some companies rehiring their retired employees, retraining many of them, and using them as consultants, often at higher salaries? "This is just the ripple of a trend that shows signs of becoming a great wave," she adds. One of the major projects Miss Gardner has undertaken to help change the image of the over-50 generation is a television series she will host in which celebrities, specialists and news media people tions discuss controversial queson the subject of aging. for release this fall, the show has lined up such participants as actressbusinesswoman Polly Bergen, singer-actress Kitty Carlisle Hart.
