& Thursday. March 15. 1962 t THE M6HENBY PLAINDEALER Page Nineteen UNDER 21 A column for teen-agers By Dan Halligan DEAR DAN: My boy friend was raised on a farm and that's all he knows. I was raised\n this large city and I don't like country life. Our problem is\serious because we hope to get married this summer and we still haven't decided which one of us should give in? We're not^W^wars-old either. My boy friend is 22 and I'm nearly 20 and much as I love him, I can't see myself living on a farm. Any suggestions you can offer will be appreciated by the two of us. -- C. and M. J. DEAR C. and M. J.: You could do what so many ^ farmers are doing these days and become "sidewalk farmers." In that way you live in the city bot work on the farm tuid you commute back and forth each day. That, of course, means additional expense and may not be possible. I've always been led to believe the man is the breadwinner and a wife should be only too happy to make a happy home for him wherever he chooses. You take it from there. DEAR DAN: My boy friend had an argument with his parents two weeks ago and" left home. He's now living with an older friend who has an apartment. I know his parents quite well and really don't blame him but that doesn't mean •^•anything because I've been told that I can't date him unless he returns home. I know my parents quite well too and 3 know they mean business. t We could sneak-date but I don't want to do that unless it's a last resort. Should I do whatever I can to make my boy friend return home? He's 18 and I'm nearly 17. -- M. DEAR M.: You'd better put some effort into the situation and you had better do it fast or you won't be doing much dating, I'm afraid. I'm not saying the parents are blameless but how come sons and daughters usually only leav§ home when they become 6f age. Ciood old Mom and Dad were ldnd enough to feed, clothe and shelter your boy friend from the day of his birth, until recently, weren't they? V- DEAR DAN: I've just begun dating and my mother has told me certain things I shouldn't do such as parking with a boy. > What harm is there in parking if you know the boy real well from school and you know he respects you? I don't intend to disobey my mother but I do want my question answered. -- New Dater. DEAR NEW DATER: In most cases, there's no harm in parking with a "nice" boy you know from school. Sometimes . though the "nice" boys at school have a second nature when ® they're parked with a girl. Again, most boys you'll be dating will prove they are gentlemen but parking isn't something a "nice" girl does casually. Your question may not be answered completely but :at least, you should have something to think over. DEi^R DAN: How much leeway should a girl be given on getting home from a date? I'm 16, a junior, and if I come in 15 minutes late from a date my mother just blows a fuse. A girl can't time herself right to the minute, can she? -- K. E. DEAR K. E.: How much leeway do you have at school when the final Jbell rings? None, I'll bet. There's nothing new |in a teen-ager trying to siphon an extra 10 or 15 minutes on a date night and neither is there anything new in parents demanding to know why a son or daughter can't make the home curfew. When parents tell a teen-ager to lie home at 11 p.m., at midnight or whatever time, the teen-ager should feel an obligation to walk in the door on time. Fifteen minutes may not seem like much to you but there's more than time involved. DEAR DAN: I don't have any problems but I just love writing and sending things to people. I'm wondering if those reading my letter, especially if they're sick or just plain ^ lonely, would care to drop me a line? I'll answer every single letter even if my Mum and Dad go broke paying for stamps. Enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envelope would help heaps. -- Judy McTavish; 68 Green Circle, Dorval, Quebec, Canada. DEAR DAN: You tell us girls to be ladies when we date but what does a girl do when the only boys dating are only interested in the other type of girls. I've got very high standards and I've also got a sorry dating record. I've had three dates since last September and if it weren't for several of my friends in the same boat, we wouldn't have any social life at ~ all. ® Yet' the girls who cooperate with the boys are never lacking for dates. Don't misunderstand me, I don't intend to change but how come? -- Puzzled. DEAR PUZZLED: There's really nothing to puzzle over. There are girls and there are girls and there are boys and there are boys. If your friends and you don't feel you should comprise yourselves for the sake of popularity and you shouldn't, don't. The other girls may seem to be having all the fun but they're also running up a score which they'll eventually regret. DEAR DAN: My boy friend and some of his friends want to raise mustaches and I know they'll look silly. They don't intend to keep them but I'm opposed to the idea. I've even told my steady if he tries to grow a mustache, he can forget where I live until he decides to be sensible again. Don't you agree with me? -- Mad Steady. DEAR MAD STEADY: You girls break a bottle of dye in your hair and think nothing of it so why shouldn't your boy friend be given his moment of glory? Let him grow the mustache or at least make the attempt and just when he's so proud of himself, burst out laughing. Among the rib-ticklers not found on the funny pages of ^ newspapers are the girls of 13 trying to appear nonchalant as they cripple along in a pair of spikes and high school boys and their mustaches. JhtFAlMNKWg Farm Adviser Burnett Says: After a prolonged period of winter weather, people in Mc- Henry county sir® getting tired of snow and ic?. And about now nursery catalogs are starting to arrive in the mail. This coincidence often works to the advantage of the mail order nurseryman. For example, a variety of stock, attractively piclured, may seem to be just the thing for your landscaping purposes, but it may hot be adapted to our area. Or if the foliage is colored, it may be colorful for a very short season. ^ If the area of adaption isn't specified in the catalog, check with your farm adviser or your local nurseryman ot write the horticulture depart m e n t s at the University of Illinois, Urbana, for more details. Or if you deal with a nurseryman, find out from him. Reputable firms will furnish this information. While winter has most of the state in its grip it is a good time to take note of evergreens that relieve much of the bleakness at this time of the year. As a sure cure for winter weather blues, plan your landscaping on paper. Such a plan will save you time, effort and money later. And you'll be happier with planned landscaping than with impulse buying from the nursery catalog. Assistant Adviser Baylor Says: Winter is beginning to end; this is when the shortage of hay is starting to show up for many dairymen. If you find hay running short, and the silage holding out better than you expected, then feed more silage to conserve the hay. Remember it takes three pounds of corn silage to equal 1 pound of hay. An increase in rain consumption will also reduce the amount of hay required. With the corn prices we have today, corn is an economical source of nutrient for dairy cows. University Re s e a rc h Experts Say: Research at the University of Illinois Dixon Springs experiment station shows why corn silage continues to be a popular feed on Illinois farms. Calves full fed on corn silage demonstrated that an acre of corn preserved as silage could produce 2,728 pounds of beef. These calves were weaned from the herd about mid-November and put on test at about 430 pounds. During the next ninety-two days they gained more than 150 pounds, or an average of 1 % pounds per head per day. The daily ration was 31 pounds of silage and 1 pound of soybean meal with a simple mineral mix free choice. Economist Simerl Says: Cattle numbers have reached a new record high. Consequently consumers may get an extra beef dinner or two this year. The increase in supplies will be offset by greater demand, so prices received by farmers for cattle will average about the same as in 1961. Looking ahead two or three years, only moderate increases in cattle marketings are in prospect. Prices seem likely to work to slightly lower levels. This outlook would be altered by a marked change in general economic conditions or by a severe drouth that would force ranchers to sell unusually large numbers of cattle. If you select one of the best new alfalfa varieties now available for 1962, you can expect easier establishment, earlier spring growth, faster recovery and higher yields. The new variety choices are the best we've ever had. DuPuits and Alfa stand at the top for short rotations, and Vernal, Buffalo and Ranger for long term stands. DuPuits and Alfa, developed from European strains, grow vigorously as seedlings, so they are much less of a problem to get established than older varieties. They start off earlier in the spring, bloom a week to ten days earlier than varieties like Ranger, bounce back faster after cutting, and grow later into the fall. They are more resistant to insects and leaf diseases than Ranger. These varieties average nearly a ton more hay per acre than Ranger for the first two years of production. They are susceptible to bacterial wilt, however. This disease often kills out alfalfa in the third harvest year. For this year on, use DuPuits or Alfa if you're planning for a short term stand. If you want alfalfa ,to last for .three years or more, or can't cut hay until after the first week in June, then seed Vernal. It is resistant to bacterial wilt and will survive for many years under adequate management. It yields somewhat less than DuPuits and Alfa in the first and second years, but maintains production into the third and fourth years. Ranger has been a standard variety for several years and still performs well throughout Illinois. It is wilt resistant and will survive well for many years if properly managed. Floriculturist Foster Says: Using only sterilized soil mixtures for pot plants and seed germination will help you grow healthy, vigorous plants. Soil sterilization gives a good measure of protection against plant ailments caused by disease organisms carried in the soil. Using sterilized -soil is also one good precaution. against "damping off." This disorder is caused by fungi that rot seeds and cause young seedlings to topple' over and die. Safety Specialist Hogsttt Says: For safety's sake, extend spring housecleaning to your whole farmstead. Tools, bags of feed, buckets and just common trash are responsible for hospitalizing one of every five farm accident victims. Not only that, studies from the Illinois Rural Safety Council show that, next to poor judgment, disorder is the largest single cause of injuries. PMA MANAGER GIVES POSITION ON LEGISLATION Pure Milk association favors national legislation which would give farmers ah opportunity to choose4 between lower price supports for the marketing year beginning April 1 and a supply-management program to bring production in line with demand, A. L. McWilliams, PMA general manager, stated today. As an alternative to reduced dairy supports, the PMA board of directors, lie said, favors a supply-management program with the following provisions: 1. Maintain present support prices. 2. Establish 1961 production as a base for individual farmers. 3. Use a portion of price support funds to purchase the bases of retiring dairy farmers. 4. Restrict imports of dairy products. 5. Establish bases for all producers regardless of size. 6. Administrator supplymanagement through the expanded Federal milk market administrator agencies.

Front Si Have you ever seen a car run solely by the power of the sun? Or synthetic rubber manufactured in a pop bottle in 60 seconds? How would you like to understand how a jet engine works, explore the mystery of controlling tomorrow's space ships and listen to a radio which is powered by "liquid sunshine?" These are some of the exciting moments in store for McHenry high school and Junior high when Previews of Progress is presented on Friday, March 16. Packed with exciting demonstration^ of science's dramatic role in industrial progress under America's free economy, the 40-minute stage show is non-commercial and admission-free. Presented by a two-man teanj and narrated in understandable, non-technical language, the show uses exciting showmanship to make science come alive for more than three million students and adults who view it each year. Many more see it on television. In the Previews show, the demonstrator uses a 300-watt lamp to duplicate the sun's rays. As the light strikes the cells, the 15-inch Sunmobile movies smoothly across the table. In the show, few drops of "liquid sunshine" provide sufficient energy to operate a portable radio. If a method for making the fuel cell practical were ever found, this device would have a tremendous economic impact and greatly add to the life of coal and oil reserves. In addition to sun power, the Previews audience will see a visual history of the jet engine In "capsule" form. Beginning with a working model of the first jet which dates back to 200 B.C., this sequence is climaxed by the running of a miniature gas turbine engine with a nonminiature roar. This type of engine may power automobiles of tomorrow. Safety conscious spectators will be intrigued by a demonstration of a new foam plastic being used for crash pads in aircraft and automobiles. The lecturer actually makes the material in four minutes and shows its cushioning qualities by bouncing an egg off it from a height of four feet. Camera Chb News Last week we had a social get-together at the home of Joe Hudetz. The idea of the visit was to discuss club events for this coming year, and make plans for the activities for the March meeting. Our intentions were good but unfortunately the elements had us pushing stuck cars for the first hour or so. After the exercise, we retired to Joe's basement to see his revised darkroom setup. The room is set up with cabinets (with built-in paper safe and accessory holders) sink, enlarging desk, -- the compete works, all extremely well planned and functional. The masking device on his Omega enlarger, the condenser system, and the self calibrated densitometer are also a credit to Joe's talents. Of course we were all a bit envious. His fine photography reflects his ability, and marks him as being the best technician in the club. Not only is his work somethfng out of the ordinary, but so is Joe. He has a couple of qualities that set him apart from the rest of us, and that makes him a man well worth knowing. These qualities are modesty and willingness to help others. If this campaigning for Joe on this coming election ... its probably so, though something tells me that he's got the election in the bag anyway (namely because the other candidate dropped out)~» Unfortunately the new club "shutter bugs" for amateurs never got off the ground this past month. The meeting was called off the last minute for reasons unknown. This set their schedule a month behind, so in order to help out we've decided at this coming meeting on the fourteenth of March at the Wauconda field house to take the subject "How to Hold a Camera" and discuss it thoroughly with our guest speaker. Last year the American Foundation for the Blind recorded over 214 titles of talking books which were distribu'- ted free to blind people throughout the fifty states, under the sponsorship of the Library of Congress. ACCIDENT TARGETS There are timid drivers and there are over-confident drivers -- and both are prime targets for accidents. The Institute for Safer Living states that driving with just the right amount of confidence can help to insure your safety. Overconfident drivers tend to drive too fast -- take unnecessary chances. Timid drivers often hamper traffic flow -- cause other drivers to become impatient and take chances. When people (or nations) live beyond their incomes, there is seldom any doubt to the outcome. as I SHOW TRAVEL FILM A full length film lecture entitled "The Face of the Soviet" will be presented in glowing color on Tuesday, March 20, at 8 p.m. in the Barrington high school auditorium.

Have you wondered how vaccine differs from antibiotic treatments? Both utilize bacteria to destroy disease-causing germs, but the vaccine contains the identical germs that cause the disease, only in a form harmless to the individual. Antiobiotics, however, contain substances hostile to the disease-causing germs which provide the body with the means of destroying the attacking germs. Antiobiotics are used extensively these days in prescriptions to combat a wide variety of human ailments.
