T#enfy THE PLAINDEALER Thursday, December 22, UNDER 21 A column for teen-agers By Dan Halligan DEAR DAN: I run around with kids a few years older than I am and so do a few of my close friends. These kids are bright and can think of some pretty neat things to do My parents don't think I should hang around with them but they're a lot of fun. What do you think I should do? -- Wondering at 13. DEAR WONDERING: What do I think you should do? Mind your parents. If you're 13, your older friends are probably 16 and 17 and to be perfectly frank about it, teenagers of your age have very little in common with older teenagers. It's a wonder they haven't already told -you to "get lost." Stick in your own age group. You'll have Just as much fun and you'll know you're obeying your parents. DEAR DAN: I've been invited to a formal dance at our high school next month and would like to know if should buy my own corsage or will my date bring me one- My parents say he'll buy me one. Is that true? '-- Anxious. - DEAR ANXIOUS: The boy" should buy you a corsage and I'm sure he. will. You, by the way, should-buy your date a boutonniere, a flower for his lapel. A carnation will do fine. DEAR DAN: My father is being transferred in his job to an out-of-state city next month and we've got a problem. He's already rented a house for us and wants my mother, my sister and myself to join him as soon as possible. I'm a high school senior and will only have five months of school tfemaining and I want to stay here and graduate with my class. I guess the big reason my parents don't want me to stay with a friend is because I might get into trouble or might not study or something like that. There isn't any reason for them to worry but try to tell them that. My buddy's parents said I could stay with them and I'm sure we would make out fine. What do you think I should be able to do? -- Walt. DEAR WALT: I'm afraid I'll have to answer your question as a parent and as a parent, I say your place is with your mother and father. I realize what it means for you to graduate with your high school class but remember, as soon as you graduate your life will be different and changed and jtou won't be the "little boy" your folks still consider you. Chances are you may be going away to college or into military service and your parents can't be blamed for wanting to hang onto you as long as they can. Your solution, of course, is okay but I favor you staying With your family and not with a friend's -family. I DEAR DAN: Our home room teacher is having a birth- 4py soon and several of us have been talking about giving her a present. Would this be in good taste2"~=\Shirley. DEAR SHIRLEY: It certainly \taul<|' be and the present would make the biggest hit possible il^eiwtff^ideiith-chipped in something. Anything from a dime to a quarter per studeir will buy a nice present from the entire cliiss. DEAR DAN: I have a small apartrtient with a kitchentte in a boarding house and would like to invite my boy friend in some evening for coffee. I can use the living room Whenever I wish but usually there are three or four other .boarders sitting around and you can't have any privacy. May I invite my boy friend in for a few minutes? -- Loretta. : DEAR LORETTA: As long as it's okay with your landfiutdy, it's okay with me. However, I suggest you keep your door open and don't let your boy friend stay any longer than kt reasonably neoessarv.

Village Board Notes At the last meeting of the village board only three trustees and the president were present. This constitutes a quorum according to the Illinois Municipal Review,; dated Nov. 1960. The . resolution concerning the work to be done on Spring Road and Park View was prepared by village engineers and passed unanimously. Ordinance No. 47 establishing a salary for the police magistrate of $300 per year was passed unanimously. This ordinance was necessary under the law and will become effective in April of 1961. Formerly the magistrate has been paid from court costs. As a result of the ordinance, all fines and costs will revert to the village. No further meetings will be held in December because of the holidays and the board will convene again on Monday, Jan. 9, 1961.
