1. A ursday, September 2^, 1960 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER UNDER 21 A column for tetxi-agers - By Dan Halligan DEAR DAN: I have a terrible problem and need your help. My parents say I can date boys my age but boys of my age don't date and my parents know this. Even if the boys did date, I wouldn't want to go out With 'them because we don't have the same interests. The boys my age are just starting to mature and girls of the same age have already matured. I'm 14 years old and would appreciate your opinion on this. Thank you. -- B.S. Dear B.S.: Maybe your parents aren't so tough, after all. ^ay that because I don't believe a girl of 14 should be dating wall. For your part, I don't know what age group boys you would like to date but I don't like to see a high school girl date any boy more than two years older than she is. I'm sorry I can't offer you a solution but that's the way the answers come out sometimes. DEAR DAN: My girl friend and I had an argument several months ago and still dtont speak to each other. When we first got mad at each other, I still tried to be nice and always said hello but that didin't do much good and we gradually stopped even saying hello. 4j> Now I hear from my friends she's whispering about me behind my back. There was only one time when I said something behind her back and I knew then I was in ,the wrong. Now I want to-"be friends with her again but I don't know how to go about it. Please try to help me. -- C- SDear C. S.s You know, with all the trouble we have in the world today with wars and threats of war, with kids your age going to bed hungry every night, don't you think your frierfd and you are acting too much like adults in not speaking? I know what it's like to have pride and how tough it is to say "I'm sorry" bult also realize it's about time the two of you made up. I'm sure your friend feels as badly about this Vite of affairs as you do and the sooner one of you takes the initiative and apologizes, the quicker your friendship will get back on the beam. Don't wait for her to make the first move. As long as you worried enough about this problem to write ~ w ^ ^ to me, carry the ball all the way and make up with your cupancy the first of the year, friend right away. * Twice Told Tales FIFTY YEARS AGO Taken from the Files of Sept. 15, 1910 Nick Bohr has disposed of his beautiful home on North Green street to Joseph Justen, who will take possession of siariie Nov. 1, 1911. Mr. Bohr will build himself a new home in the Kelter subdivision to McHenry on Broad street. The new residence, together with the barn and all outdoor buildings, will be constructed of cement blocks at an estimated cost of $6,000. Mr. Bohr recently brought to our office a peach which measured 9% inches in circumference and weighed one-half pound, one of a crate sent by his sister in California. Frank V.

Does a boy thank a girl for a dance or is nothing said? If he does thank her, what is she expected to say? A Loyal Reader. Dear Reader: If you're referring to live music, usually there are several dances in a set and in between dances, the few seconds it takes, you wait on the dance floor with the boy. However, if you're referring to records, you're only committed for one dance and immediately after the record stops playing, the boy should' escort you from the floor back to your rfnair or to wherever you were when he asked you for the dance. If a boy doesn't know enough to escort a girl from the dance floor, then the girl Should start leading the way and even a dumb bunny should at least accompany her and not allow her to walk by herself. « Inasmuch as boys always ask girls for dances, except in dies' choice, a boy should be expected to thank a girl for a dance and in turn the girl can say "You're welcome" or '1 enjoyed the dance too." I hope boys get as much out of this answer as you do because apparently you've been dancing with boys who just aren't aware of manners. • * • • • THE MAIL BAG-- In Love: Send along your name and address for a confidential reply.
