I let him kiss me goodnight several times after a date and we sometimes park for an hour or more. What more can he expect ? Curious. DEAR CURIOUS: Me too, I'm carious. If your boy friend has a complaint, he should explain. I personally don't think he has one and if he isn't happy, he may be dating the wrong type of girl. Let him change his ways and don't you change yours. DEAR DAN: I want to be so popular at school that sometimes I cry for hours at night. I'm just not at all popular and I want to be more than anything else in the world. I'm too fat. for one thing, and I can't keep a conversating going. I'm not a good dancer and I have a big problem with my complexion. I don't have a bad reputation but I wouldn't mind. At least then I'd be noticed. I've tried everything I can think of to gain popularity but nothing has worked. Have you any advice for a girl who isn't quite 16? -- Sad One. DEAR SAD ONE: You can cry from now until commencement and the tears won't make you any more popular than you now are. Wishing for a bad reputation is a foolish wish. If you wear a smile, be active in school functions, dress neatly and help others when you can, you'll be as popular as any girl at school. You may not be the leader you want to be but very few of us can be leaders in everything. The girl considered to be the best dancer, the girl with "the" figure, the girl with the never ending supply of chit-chat isn't necessarily "Miss Popularity." Your attitude can make or break you in the eyes of your fellow students and that's the thing to concentrate on for the remainder of the school year. DEAR DAN: Is 15 miles too far to go on a date? My lather hasn't decided if I can go to the big dance out of town and if you don't think the distance is too far, he may let me go. Please stick up for me. -- J. DEAR «!.: The distance may not be too great but who's going to be doing the driving? How about traffic? What time does the dance wind up? What time will you get home? Thrifty People Put $4 Million Away Daily In Savings Club How much money did you have during this year which is rapidly coming to a close? This question is provoked by an observation from the Taxpayers' Federation of Illinois that Christmas club savers tucked away $1,573,086,000 this year. On an average, these thrifty people put over $4 million per day, or approximately $131 million a month into such savings. It is estimated that $472 million of this saving, or 30 per cent, will go for holiday gift buying, $661 million will be put back into savings and investments (42 per cent); $173 million, or 11 per^cent^wtlf go for miscellaneous purchases and to pay bills; about $267.1 million, 17 per cent, will go for taxes. So Christmas savings go for taxes too. Spiking of taxes, between Dec. 1 and. Dec. 24, some $720 milliolKwill go for interest on the federal debt, according to an estimate by Tax Foundation, Inc. It will take almost $30 million a day, or $912 million a month to meet federal debt interest payments in 1963.

OUTLOOK FOR EGGS, POULTRY IN 1963 GIVEN OPENS CLOGGED SEWERS Without digging KOOT DESTROYii dhsdvoi Root* pap»r Oman, Sludflo •atlly. RUCK'S HARDWARE Most poultry men had a fairly good year in 1962. For 1963 the outlook is about like this: eggs, not much change from the year before; turkeys, average prices 1 or 2 cents lower than in 1962; broilers, prices in th« first quarter down about 2 cents from last year. The forecast is based on a recent report of the poultry survey committee, which is made up of economists from private industry, the USDA and universities. Eggs. The nation's laying flock is estimated to be 1 percent smaller than it was a year ago. And the average age of the hens is slightly older. Thus egg production will be no greater, and maybe slightly less, in the first three quarters of the year than in 1962. Consumer demand for eggs holds about steady from yea? to year. The increase in population is offset by a diminishing desire for eggs. Prices received by Illinois farmers for eggs may average 27 cents a dozen in the first three quarters of 1963. The winter average may be around 29 cents, the spring average 26 cents and the summer price about 27 cents a dozen. Prices will vary widely over the state, being 5 to 10 cents higher in the northeastern counties (near Chicago) than in the southeastern and the western counties. Broilers. Market supplies in prospect for the winter quarter aire 12 to 15 percent larger than those of a year ago. About one-third of this increase can be offset by growing demand, but the remainder will depress prices. •Broiler hatchery Supply flocks apparently are 5 to 10 percent smaller than they were a year ago. But this may not prevent an increase of up to 5 percent in the production of broilers for sale in the spring quarter. Turkeys. The carryover of turkeys on Jan. 1 is indicated to be smaller than the 263 million pounds carried over the year before, but larger than in any other year. Turkey economists look for farmers to increase production by at least 7 percent and maybe 10 percent or more. If the increase in production is only 7 to 10 percent, they figure that prices will be i to 2 cents lower next fall than they have been in recent months. This would mean an average price to Illinois producers of 21 to 22 cents a pound. Feed Costs. Costs of feed may be 3 to 5 percent higher in 1963 than in 1962. Prices for corn and most high-protein feeds are up from last year, and farmers are feeding more of almost every kind of livestock and poultry than they were a year ago. SHOP IN" McHENRY SAFEGUARD YOUR HEALTH FROSTBITE An e v e r - p r e s e n t winter health hazard, particularly for those who stay out of doors for long periods, is that of frostbite. Though the very young and old are most vulnerable to the condition, anyone -- of any age -- is susceptible. How does one recognize frostbite? Check the suspectedarea. If it's stiff and numb, the skin is white or bright pink and possibly 8WOllflTV| chances are it's frostbitten.^ If your family doctor is not immediately available, follow this advice: keep the frozen part in lukewarm water for 10 minutes, blot it dry gently, then keep the area dry and warm. Above all, remember: DO NOT expose the frostbitten area to direct heat fram an open fire, radiator or heating pad or by plunging it into really hot water. DO NOT rub or massage a frostbitten part with or without snow for this can damage the tissues made brittle by the cold and open the way for infect ion bv breaking the skin. DO NOT walk if your feet are frostbitten because walking can also damage the tissue and open the way to infection. Feet, nose, ears and fingers are most often affected because they're the most exposed and, in the case of the feet and fingers, the farthest from the warm central blood supply. Fiostbite can be dangerous, for extreme cold -- especially moist cold -- may constrict the surface blood vessels to the point where it cuts off the blood supply. Thus deprived of nourishment, the affected area begins to wither -- and that's when gangrene sets in. The doctor usually puts a frostbite victim to bed, slowly brings the temperature of the affected part hack to normal and watches for the possible development of gangrene. The painful part of frostbite comes with the thawing or warming of the affected area. It usually becomes red or bluish, swells and throbs or burnr.. Some persons are more susceptible to cold temperatures than others, but everyone can take the necessary precautions of keeping comfortable with the elements by wearing proper clothing and eating the essential foods to maintain body stamina. Avoid frostbite by preventing it. Advertise - It Pays!
