My father says I should go to the local school but I believe I can get a much better perspective on life by getting as far away as possible and not being under my parents' feet. Dad also complains that the local school is considerably cheaper, which it is, but I plan on getting a job on the campus and helping out. We've decided to seek your advice, although Dad says he probably won't change his mind in any event. -- Arlene J. DEAR ARLENE: Your father won't get any argument from me because I happen to know how much a year's college tuition costs. If you can get the identical education on the local level, then yon have no choice but to go to the local school. If you can live at home, you would be surprised at how much money can be saved. I vote with Dad. DEAR DAN: My best friend and I are just lost now that school is out. We don't live near any of our friends and there's nothing at all to do. Can you give us some suggestions? -- Two Little Girls of 12. DEAR LITTLE GIRLS: There's a park nearby, Isn't there? Take walks, go to the library, go swimming, help Mom with the housework, and stop complaining. There are any number of things to do if you'll open your eyes. DEAR DAN: I only have two children of my own but my sister who is a widow has several and they take turns staying with me during the summer. Her oldest boy is 17 and has failed school several times. He does a lot of dating and dates younger girls. Right now his girl is 14 and they say they're in love. My sister sees nothing wrong with this and the girl's mother must be crazy as they date three times a week. I want to help my sister but I don't know how to go about it. Can you give me some hints? -- Mrs. S. DEAR MRS. S.: Rejuse to take your nephew as a summer boarder as one stepXl don't imagine you'll get any help from the girl's mother and I know you won't from your sister so before two lives are ruined, see a clergyman or a juvenile officer of your county. What needs to be done here is some responsible person to talk to the adults and put an end to this "I love you" business. DEAR DAN: My boy friend comes to my house three times a week and I go to his house once a week. I also phone him at times. But his father doesn't like my visits or my phoning because he says it looks as if his son isn't a gentleman. My parents don't mind. If you're wondering, my boy friend's parents are always there when I visit. What do you think about my two questions? -- Jackie. f DEAR JACKIE: If you're the same age as your boy friend, you shouldn't be going steady, you shouldn't be visiting his house once a week and you shouldn't be phoning him. You're coming on too strong too soon and I think that's what the boy's father really means. DEAR DAN: I'm 13 and I want some baby-sitting jobs. I'm willing to work because I like children very much. Can you advise me? -- Willing. \ DEAR WILLING: Get a sheet of paper and write tdown all the families within a three or four-block radius op your home who have children of seven and younger. Then contact the mothers of these children. Tell them you're available for morning and afternoon baby-sitting or baby-watching -- but not for evening work. Some of these mothers like to play bridge or run downtown during the week and there's no reason why several of them won't hire you. But check with your own mother first. MOBILE X-RAY COMPLETES FIRST YEAR'S PROGRAM The Mobile X-Ray unit will again be available for those desiring free chest X-rays on Friday, Sept. 6. The unit will be in operation from 1 to 4:30 and from 5 to 8:30 p.m. on the south side of the court house. Mrs. Claribel H. Naylor, R.N., of the McHenry County Tuberculosis association, in announcing the date, said the September visit of the mobile unit completes the first year of the new program. During the year 5,141 have availed themselves of the free chest X-ray. Of this number, 117 were referred to the clinic for further/study and twentysix to thejr own physician. A total of 338 had abnormalities that required no further study. Five persons were admitted to the sanatorium with active tuberculosis.

If your child is even younger, it will make nicely into leggings or ski pants. Outgrown trousers or slacks are perfect for young girls' skirts. Get a simple 4-gore pattern; take pants apart and use bottom of legs for waistline. One more -- save the good parts of oj/sl clothes made of lightweight" wools or flannels to use as interlining for kids' coats and jackets. Does your iron keep sticking to clothes? Sprinkle salt on a piece of paper and run hot iron back and forth over it. Seems like it takes the patience of Job and wisdom of Solomon to buy carpeting -- there's so much to choose from! Wool is still best for all-around durability, next comes Nylon (even better than wool in finer carpets), then the acrylics, cotton, and last rayon. Look for these things: Thick pile -- the closer the yarn the better. Check pile by bending it back. You should not see a "smiling" open area. Color -- dull or dark shades hide soil best. Brighter colors (like yellows) look more soiled. Resiliency -- we all like that thick, bounce-back feel. Wool, Nylon and acrylics are standouts; others , crush more easily. Backing -- should be firm, yet flexiwe, with latex (rubberized )7 coating. Soil-Resistance-- sorry, girls, they all get dirty. Only secret is to take care of stains quickly. Cotton and rayon will show soil faster; acrylics need instant soil care. If your floor mop is matted and isn't cleaning like it should -- comb it! Just take a clothespin and comb as you would your hair. Straighten out all the tangles. I always like to have Cheddar cheese in the refrigerator. You too? Well, next time you serve a soup and sandwich lunch, cut the cheese into cubes. Drop into soup just before serving. And almost every casserole becomes an extra special taste treat when you sprinkle shredded cheddar on top. (Watch for Maggie every week.) Wisconsin has some 8,500 named lakes.

Elm St., Jewel Shopping Plaza SAFEGUARD YOUR HEALTH Parents who insist upon the removal of their child's tonsils at' the first sign of a sore throat or irritation may be making a serious mistake. Why? Because tonsils are not the culprits most of us think they are. Quite the contrary, in fact. Tonsils play a vital role in the child's defense against infection. They are veritable vaccine factories, producing special cells which kill invading bacteria. These patches of spongy tissue, located at strategic points on the inside of the throat, are constantly trapping and battling bacteria and other air poN lutants. Not only germs in the air, but also germs that get into the mouth are likely to be destroyed if trapped by tonsils. Since small children seem to enjoy placing dirty fingers, toys and various strange Objects in their mouths, the advantage of these Automatic, built-in germ traps is obvious. Why, ^then, are some parents so anxious to have them removed? ^Medical surveys show that tha two major reasons for removal of tonsils are size and frequent respiratory infections --cold^ and sore throats. As for size, it has been proved that large tonsils have no effect on the child's health whatsoever. Size is no more reason for removing healthy tonsils than it is for amputating healthy feet. Only when tonsils are enlarged because they are overloaded with germs are they likely to be a source of infection. Then, of course, they should be removed. As for respiratory infections, it has been found that they are just as - common in children after the removal of tonsils as before. In fact, one extensive study of 909 children in England found that those who had their tonsils removed actually had more colds than those who retained them. The popular belief that tonsillectomy is a minor operation with no risk involved is also erroneous! Tonsillectomy is a serious operation and may prove fatal. Sure the fatality risk is small, but it's still a risk which -- in many casses-- may be unnecessary. Certainly there are instances where tonsillectomies are essential. The decision to operate, however, should be made by the physician -- not the parents-- and then only after a thorough examination and an extended period of observation. Parents should never try to talk a doctor into performing a needless operat^pn. HEADACHES Did you know... *The older you get, the fewer headaches you are likely to have. ^Single people have considerable more headaches than married people. "Mental patients rarely have headaches. "The severity of a headache is not a reflection of its seriousness. : At least 85 percent of those suffering from recurrent headaches can be helped. These are only some of the many interesting facts learned about pian's most prevalent aliment through intensive research in the past 10 years. Research also reveals there are many kinds of headaches stemming from a variety of causes. Most of them, however, can be classified under three headings: occasional, chronic tension or migraine. The short-lived, occasional headache -- with which most of us are familier -- is usually the result of excessive food or drink, eyestrain, excitement, blow on the head, susceptibility to certain foods or exposure to certain chemicals. Best home remedy? Aspirin. Some people find that two aspirins with a cup of coffee is even more effective. Why coffee? Because caffein has a tendency to keep the blood vessels in the head from swelling and pressing on the nerves. (That's usually what produces the pain in headaches.) If that doesn't help, try taking a nap or holding an ice bag on your head. The chronic tension headache --which accounts for 65 to 75 percent of all headaches -- results from muscle contraction due to tension. Best home remedy again is aspirin. If this doesn't work, take a bath or have someone massage your shoulders and the back of your neck. Whether you find relief or not, however, you'd better see your doctor because -- though the chances are small -- your chronic headache may be caused by a disease or organic malfunction. v Of course, the worst of all headache agonies is the migraine, which occurs in five to ten percent of the population. Unfortunately, its cause is still unknown, though a number of theories are being investigated. How do you differentiate between migraine and chronic teft^ion headaches? If you're smart, you'll let your doctor do tile diagnosing. Mlowever, It's generally known that migraines are usually preceded by a short period of depression, irritability, restlessness, or gastric upset, which may disappear shortly before the headache appears. Sometimes they accompany the headache. Nausea and vomiting are common during an attack, also, with the pain usually concentrated on one side of the head. An untreated attack of The Drivers Seat Apparently the best drivers don't have the best reflexes, eyesight, knowledge of vehicle operation or physical condition. They may even be below average in these respects, according to studies being conducted at Columbia University. A five-year study of what makes a safe driver has found two traits: conformity andstability. From more than 9,000 professional drivers who have each won National Safety Council awards for 20 years or more, 2,000 drivers were selected and studied intensively. A composite picture of the safe driver shows that he is middleaged, married, has children, has worked for the same company almost all his life, has driven an average of 17,000 miles professionally and 8,000 personally in annual mileage, desires security <and is nonaggressive. Six ultra-safe drivers were chosen for further study and found to be very unremarkable --even below average -- in physical abilities and reactions, as well as traffic knowledge. The safest drivers were captious, conservative and careful planners, not only in driving but in all aspects of their life, the survey found. Two of the key factors in safe driving, according to the migraine may last for nours or days. present ..findings at Columbia, are concentration -'arid** the avoidance of troubBS. The best drivers .think of nothing but driving and refuse to sightsee, talk or be distracted. They won't argue about who has the right-of-way but will let the other driver hav« it; they're courteous to other drivers and to pedestrians; they anticipate trouble and avoid situations " that coaltr cause trouble. These drivers, the study shows, aren't expert at making panic stops or emergency maneuvers because they virtually never need to react this way. Driving with them is dull, the researchers found, because there were no hazards to avoid, no emergency situations, no alarms. The Columbia research group admits these findings aren't final or all-inclusive, and that the study was selective and limited. However, the one requirement found that would appear to be the key to safe driving is total Concentration on driving. About all a failure proves is that our determination wasn't as gl-eat as the problem.
