Sixtotn THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, March 23, 1961 UNDER 21 A column lor teen-agers By Dan Halligan ^ DEAR DAN: I'm 14 and don't.have many boy problem;: but if I did I probably wouldn't ask your advice because I ^Ouldn't hear what I wanted to hear. •V Your answers to the questions you receive make you sound like an old fogey. How old ai*e you? -- Curious. j DEAR CURIOUS: I'm 38 but' the age has nothing po do with your disliking "Under 21." You said yourself if y°u asked me a question, you probably wouldn't hear the answer you wanted to hear, so Whether I'm 38, 98 or 18 really makes little difference. DEAR DAN: Before I got married, my husband liked to work one place for, awhile and then when he got tired of it he would move on. He had a buddy who always went with fiim but after we got married, the buddy went on his way •and my husband settled down. • ' N . About four months later the buddy wrote and told my husband he was still moving around. That's when I found out my husband wasn't happy. He said he would leave me but he doesn't want to hurt me. I love my husband very much and don't want him to leave but I also want him to be happy. Please help me because I don't know what to do. I'm 18 years old -- An Unhappy Wiwe. -- DEAR UNHAPPY WIFE: Your husband is just now realizing there is more to a marriage than the honeymoon and apparently refuses to accept the responsibilities that go with a marriage., Whatever you do, don't go telling him you. want him to be happy and .he" can leave. Fight for him. Th<? two of you should go to your clergyman and let him ljfclp you. In the meantime, write to "this buddy" and tell him he's giving your marriage trouble. Your husband is selfish and a boy, not a mature man. Go to your clergyman and the three of you talk this problem out. The talk could wake up your husband to his duties. DEAR DAN: I'm starting Ho plan on my high school graduation announcements and invitations to attend the graduation and don't know quite whatJto expect. Is it traditional that ypu only send announcements to the people you really want to attend and that' they're expected to give you a small gift of some sort? -- Graduating. DEAR GRADUATING: Naturally, you wouldn't be exchanging announcements with other members of your class because the cost would be quite high. You should send the invitations to your relatives and really close friends. In return, they are expected to either give or mail you a graduation present although If one or two forget, don't consider them as cheapskates. DEAR DAN: There's the cutest little Japanese girl who just transferred to our school at mid-term and I'm anxious to dale her. She's a junior the same as I am but she's so cute and quiet, I'm afraid to even say "Hi" to her. ^ As far as I know, all the junior and senior boys who aren't going steady feel about the same as I dd. Therefore, I . do have competition and w&uld like a prompt answer. -- Pins and Needles. DEAR PINS AND NEEDLES: "Faint heart never won lair lady," they tell us and neither did a high school junior ever get a date with a cute girl unless he or a friend asked *°r one. Apparently no one is going to ask for you, so you'd better get busy and speak up. For all you know, the girl may be as anxious for a date with you as you are with her. THE MAIL BAG _ CARL: Sickness can't be helped^Qnd if a last-minute Viness prevented you from taking the girl out, she should understand.
