Pigi frourfwta •ffffi McHfctfli* J'tAlNDCXLEft THursday, Juni 15, 1961^ UNDER 21 A column for ieen-agers By Dan Halligan 1 DEAR DAN: I'm £oing to be working out of town for about two months this summer and I've got a problem. I'm going steady now but I don't .see much use. in it when I'll be away for most of the summer. My girl" still wants to go steady, meaning she won't date while I'm away and I won't , date. I don't think that's very reasonable because I'll be working with other boys of 17 and 18 and I know I'll get plenty of chances to go out. Why turn them down? Am I right or is my girl right? -- Teddy. DEAR TEDDY: Being; right or wrong isn't as important here as being fair. If you'll be honest with yourself and your girl, you'll admit you don't want to go steady and probably haven't wanted to for a long time. Why do I say that? Well, when a boy writes to me and asks me if he shouldn't be allowed to date for two months while he's away, then I say he wants to play the field. DEAR DAN: My father runs a small grocery store in our neighborhood and last night he announced I was going to be his clerk this summer. He means^ it too and I don't know if there!s any way I can get out®of the job. I don't mind working and would like to get a job somewhere but I hate to think of working for my father selling bread and milk to people "I know. I don't think this is fair. After all, I'm 17 and you never meet nice young boys in this neighborhood. What can I do to make my father see my side of this? -- Regina. DEAR REGINA: Your Prince Charming can show up anywhere, anytime. Just because you may want to stand in the middle of Times Square in New York City doesn't mean yoti'll make an impression on a hoy. Some of the nicest guys in the world live right there in your neighborhood but apparently you haven't had your eyes open very much. You know your father better than I do and if you think he meant \\h:it he said, I'd say you'd better leave things as they are. You'll have your good times, so don't give up hope. DEAR DAN: How do you tell a boy you've already seen a picture he wants to take you to without making him feel hurt1? I go to the movies about twice a week and several times now I've had to see the same movie when I had a date. It isn't very much fun and I'm afraid the boys I've been dating think I'm bored with them. -- Movie Bug. DEAR BIG: I don't think you'd hurt a boy's feelings if yon told him, "I'm sorry but I've already seen the movie at the Bijou if that's where you were planning to take me." If the guy is real gone over you, he'll come up with a substitute. Don't worry about this and quit going to the movies so often with ajl the nice weather we're having this summer. DEAR DAN: I'm working in our local library this summer and for the past four evenings a young man of about 20 has come in, checked out books, brought them back the next day and checked some more out. Everytime I look up from my work, I find him staring at me. I'd love to get him to talk to me but I'm as shy as he seems to be. Can you help me out? -- Judie. DEAR JUDIE: At least you know the fellow's name and other particulars from his library card -- something he doesn't know about you. It sounds as if he likes you and would like to say something besides library conversation and my advice is for you to keep looking up from your work. At least this should encourage the guy and the next move will be up to him. Keep in mind, however, you may be imagining more than what you see so don't rush into anything too soon.
