K Thursday, November 3, 1960 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Page Nineteen UNDER 21 A column for teen-agers By Dan Halligan DEAR DAN: As parents my husband and I believe in children sharing in the responsibilities of household chores. My 16-year-old daughter and I always wash and dry the supper dishes together but she believes her two brothers should share in this work and' take turns with us. What are your ideas on this subject? -- L. G. P. DEAR L. G. P.: Surely ..you don't think I would throw ir two sons to the wolves, as It were. This next statement may cause more confusion In American and Canadian homes than if every child were told "there Is no Santa Claus" but nevertheless, I don't believe boys should be washing and drying dishes when there are girls in the family. I'm sure there must be other chores they can do and should do but washing and drying dishes isn't one of them. Now, now, fellows, I don't want .your allowances. I'm just a friendly guy! * * * / * . ' DEAR PARENTIS AND ADULTS: Even though^'Under 2M is strictly for teen-agers and Children, a portion of my mail each week, includes adult problems from adults. I answer all such letters by personal reply and just wanted to mention that if any of you , adults reading this .column ever feel I might be able to help, don't hesitate to write. I'll not publish your letter but if you send along a stamped, self-addressed envelope, I'll certainly answer it. I just thought I'd mention that. • • • * DEAR DAN: I'm a 15-year-old sophomore ajid have discovered my allowance just doesn't go as far as it should. However, I can't keep asking my parents for money everytime tfwant something. What sort of jobs are open to me and where can I obtain part-time employment. I'd surely appreciate your advice. -- Wanting A Job. Dl<iAR WANTING: Your age Is one drawback at this time but I'm sure if you scout around enough, you'll find something. Naturally, baby-sitting would probably be the most financially worthwhile employment you could find at this time. Check with your local government employment service and if no job is now available for after school or on weekends, file an application. You should also read the "help wanted" ads ty^thi* newspaper, as well as run an ad yourself. If you're really sincere, you should be able to make at least a couple of extra dollars a week just by an evening or two of baby-sitting. Good luck. * * • • DEAR READERS: Here's something many of you have $een asking about -- how to get the names of foreign children and teen-agers as pen pals. American children and teen-agers, 10 to 18 years of age, may secure the names of boys and girls in other countries by contacting: Children's Plea for Peace, World Affairs Center, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, 14, Minn. • For each name requested, enclose twenty-five cents. The quarter isn't for the name but for Secretarial work and the like. In writing to the university, be certain to mention your "fcge and sex. With each name you'll-receive a suggestion sheet for good letter writing and a current "Silver Lining" newspaper.

Other costumes noted, in the grand parade: Chinese and Japanese ladies, crash driver, little old women and men, cowboys, officers, clown, male and female impersonators, cavewomen, African natives, etc. Others, not in costume but out to enjoy the iaughs and fun, acted as judges. A highlight of the evening, that had 'em rolling on the floor with laughter and that brought tears to many eyes, was the two mixed couples who had to dress as the opposite sex.
