Now he wants me to go steady. "My young sister dated him meantime, and is telling a story about him which I know it not true; my parents insist he is not our kind (whatever that is) and won't let him come here any- more. Is that fair? Or is it be- cause he comes from a poor fam- ily? Should your parents choose your friends for you? "Shall I sneak out to sce him? Now I'm home nearly every night, listening to music that brings me thoughts of him. IN LOVE" Because your parents dis- approve of the young man, you question their right to say whom you shall date: because your sister has told of your meeting him, you blame your mother for believing her. You are in a dangerous mood. These conclusions re- flect your resentment that you cannot do as you please. A girl that declares she is in love with a boy she has dated four times reveals an irresponsibil- ity and emotional unrestraint that can lead her into trouble. Certainly parents have the right to say whom a young daughter should see; who else can protect her from dating the wrong friends? Don't sneak out.to meet him. Deceit is a costly gesture, and it would cheapen you even to him. Accept your parents' rule for the time being at least, and play fair. < La I I I I TS * . Marriage is not for adolescents whose happiness consists of good times. It is for grownups ready to settle down and share the rich- est experience life holds. Anne Hirst will give you her opinion of your problem if you write her at Box 1, 123 Eighteenth St., New Toronto, Ont. That Last Puff! Ever since statistics began to point to some connection be- tween cigarette smoking and lung cancer, the world's tobacco industries hav been devising ways to cut down the effects of tars and nicotine. Last week the Swedish tobacco monopoly settled on a fraction-of-an-inch policy; the last puffs do more harm than the first. Testing 19 local and 18 foreign brands, the Swedish Institute for Pco- ple's Health found that king- sized cigarettes give the smoker more tars and nicotine if smoked to the same stub as a regular, much less than a regu- lar it smoked only for 1% inches, the usual length of a smoke for regulars. Convinced that the trouble comes in the last few puffs, the tobacco monopoly took ads to warn, "Don't get too close," printed two thin rings on its king sizes at 17% inches to show where the cigarette should be stubbed out. But Swedish smokers cyni- cally saw the campaign as a means of selling more cigarettes, puffed right on past the new warning rings. £34 re) TAIL IS TOLD -- Rest of the plane is snug Inside, but the gigantle tall of a DC-7 Is out In the weather.

He took penicillin until his system rebelled, then, as the infection was still there the doctor swit- ched Him on to antibiotics. He is now well on the road to re- covery after having lost his ap- petite, five pounds in weight and thirty dollars in money. Now the mosquitoes are having their innings but at, least they cun only sting once whereas the blackfly, if leit undisturbed, can continue his blood-sucking activities indefinitely. Time was when birds and bigger insects looked after smaller insects, such as grubs, flies and mosquitoes, and kept them more or less under 'con- trol. Then insecticides were in- vented as a means of "mass slaughter and for awhile Lhe in- sect population was considera- bly reduced. Gradually they built up a resistance to poison sprays and managed to survive until dcvourad by the birds. Un- fortunately the birds also suf- fered -- through eating poi- soned insccts, It's a vicious circle which ever way you look at it. Man, with the best in- tentions in the world, has upset nature's balance and now he can't find a way to restore it. Take rabbits, for instance. Do you know we are likely to have a superabundance oi cotlon- tails this fall. Why? Simply on account of the widespread slaughter of foxes last year as a means of controlling the ra bies epidemic, So . fewer foxes, more rabbits. And as we certainly don't want rabies to increase I guess we'll just have to put up with the rabbits. However, every few years there is a fatal discase-among rabbits that keeps their population un: der control. Given a chance nature does a pretty good job of maintaining a balance. With human interven- tion you never know. I remember so well what hap- pened one ycar at Ginger I'arm. A neighbour was pestered wilh starlings and crows in his corn- field. Finally he put out poison- ed bait -- that is, corn soaked with a strychnine solution It worked in more ways than one. Birds ate the poisoned corn and died. Our favourite barnyard cat ate a poisoned bird and dicd too. We found the poor dear al- ong the line fence, heading for home and her family ol Kkil- tens. ' Very often much the same fate awaits domestic cats and dogs who persist in rifling neighbourhood garbage cans. The only way to prevent a dog forming this objectionable habit is to keep him at home, Eyen a well-fed dog loves to hunt away from his own backyard. I re- member one farm dog near: the edge of a small town who cama: home one day with halt a cooked ham! His mistress never did find out where that ham' came from. At another house a visiting puppy found the "frig" door open and made off with the remains of a roast of baer. Cats == that ls, properly fed eats, are more easily controlled, Yor years we fed our cats bread milk and table. scraps.'On diet it took a lot of train- to keep them from' steal. But we have finally' solved the problem. Our last two. cats have been fed on commercial kibbled meal and canned meat. And they are simply not inter- ested in any other kind of food. For the same reason they never - go snooping around garbage cans. Buying proper -food for cats costs a little extra but it is certainly worth it -- that is if you value your pets and like to be able to trust them in the kitchen and elsewhere. Speaking of keeping things under control I met. my match yesterday. For years we have had a cot-sized down-filled tick around the house. But who" wants to sleep on such a thing nowadays? However you don't throw. out anything filled with down without a second thought. 1 could see four good pillows in that tick. It looked like a simple matter. But oh boy, what I let myself in for! The minute I cut into the ticking the down began to fly -- fortunately I was in the basement. I soon had down all over the table, the floor and myself. I had mos- quito ointment on my arms and neck and the down stuck to it closer than a brother. Except for the down being white you might have thought I'd been tarred and feathered. 1 basted. the end of the first pillow and took it outside. Then I -folded the rest of the ticking over and pinned it. Cleaning' up the mess. was my ncxt problem -- and that | was most anxious to do before Partner" came' around! Even with a vacuum it was quite-a job. Just get the blower end of the tank in the wrong direc- tion and the flying down would be thicker than snowflakes in a blizzard. The next three pil- lows I shall do outdoors. And how the 'little birds will love the down for lining their nests. Speaking of birds a few minutes ago a Baltimore oriole came quite close to the house Intent on a feast of caterpillars from trces near the kitchen door. Throw Them Away --Or Burn Them! Alarmed by the suffocation of 55 children this year by plastic bags, the U.S. plastics industry last month launched a million dollar common-sense campaign to preserve safety, along with its 3 billion-bag-a-year business (estimated $30 million In sales) In full-page advertisements in 117 major newspapers across the nation, the industry warned: "Never keep a plastic bag after it has served its intended useful- ness. Destroy it: tear it up and throw it away." 'Since sqme 70% of the coun- tfy's 55,000 dry cleaners have switched to plastic bags, the in- SALLY'S SALUES : NASA NWA en bent L% \d "I want that one. It lool:a an though I could have baked It® 5 KNOT THEM -- The safe way to dispose of plastic garment bags, Plastics Industry, Inc, advises, is to tie them in knots and throw them in covered gar- bage cans. Ths irdustry is start- ing a campaign to make sure the bags are handled safely. dustry is geared to turn out the thin, transparent film coverings, and does not want to switch back to paper. What worries many of - the 35 producers of plastic bags is that laws will be passed ban- ning .the use of tha bags." New York City now requires that warning labels be placed on plas- tic' bags, and other restrictive legislation is pending in various states. Despite the deaths( most have been infants who smothered on plastic bags misused as erib mat- ress covers), cleaners across the country report that 'consumers overwhelmingly prefer plastic to paper for covering shirts and suits. After, the 27 members of the Knoxville, Tenn. Laundry and Dry Cleaners Association agreed publicly to discontinue plastic bags and shelve $100,000 worth of bag-processing equip- ment, they found that customers (by a 50-to-1 margin) demanded the bags. What the plastics industry is after is a porous bag that 1) will not cling to the face, 2) will not generate static electricity. Some manufacturers have turned to making combination plastic and paper bags, while other key pro- ducers, such as. National Distill- ers' Kordite Corp. are return- ing to the heavier, more expen- sive plastic they first used to make bags three years ago, They. believe that heavier-guage bags are less dangerous because they do not cling to the skin as read- ily. In the search for a safer product." Technical Tape Corp., N.Y, a major. New Rochelle, producer of plastic bags has de- vised a corrugated plastic with thousands of tiny air corridors that permit breathing. But most of all, the plastic makers are counting on public education. Says Harry Benberg, president' of New York's Spot- less Stores (200 stores): "Plastic ~bags are something new, and people have got. to learn about . them the way they learned about matches, razor blades and guns." SIN ~~ From TIME EEE A i ISSUE 28 = 1959 Russia's Sex Modes Suit Billy Graham The usual crowds of admirers and autograph hunters were missing when Billy landed . at Moscow's airport. In his party: boyhood pal and assoclate Grady Wilson, his male secretary and two U.S. businessmen -- Print' ing Tycoon Willlam Jones, who: had persuaded Graham to take the trip, and Department Store Owner Henderson Belk, who was taking Bible {intruction from Billy enroute, American reporters and an In- tourist guide, Billy did a double take at the large gold crosses atop the Kremlin churches. "There is a symbol I never ex- pected to see here," he said. "I hope it has meaning for the fu- ture." Russian tourists, gaping at paintings of Jesus Christ in the Kremlin's Cathedral of the As- sumption, equally astonished "him. "A tender, moving thing... Never, never did I expect to find this in the Kremlin." He never expected to find a bevy of French models in Dior dresses in the Kremlin either, but there they were (for a big Dior fashion show), and Billy hesitantly consented to pose for photos with two of them. Said he: "I wish my wife were here," He was the honored guest at a Baptist Sunday service held in a large wooden hall crammed with 'more than 2,500 worship- pers, most of them women. But he did not preach. He had the wrong kind of visa. Russian Bap- tist leaders explained . politely: "It is not customary here to have tourists preach." Perhaps this would be possible on his next visit, they added, and Billy asked to be shown the mammoth Lenin Stadium, which seats 100,000. ("I knelt and 'asked God," he sald later, "that some day it will be filled with people listening to the Gospel.") In Paris last month, after five days of Intourist tourism, Bap- tist Graham told reporters he had not been surprised when Russian religious leaders told. him that atheism was declining and religion : rising in the U.S.S.R. "I could read on the faces of the people a great spirit- ual hunger, and the sort of in- security. that only God can solve," he said. "We don't like Communism, but we love the Russian people," Tourist Graham also had a good word to say for "the high standard of Russian morality" and the "moral purity" of Rus- sians as compared to the broad- daylight sex life he had observed in London parks. Said Billy: "I did not see one person walking down the street with an arm around another. We went to a park where thousands of young people were gathered. They held hands, but they were very dis- - ciplined." Quackery Revived Elisha Perkins was reputed to be able to cure almost any kind .-of ailment with.two small pieces of "magnetized" metal. A couple of centuries ago, his "magnetie tractors" allegedly drew diseases _out of such celebrities as George Washington." He was discredited only when his magnetic tractors were discovered to be two pieces of painted wood. Since Elisha Perkins' day, medical charlatan- ism has made great strides, notes Dr. William H. Gordon in the medical magazine GP, Freque#t- ly the quackery .is keyed to news of medical progress. Use of radioactive isotopes in medicine, for example, inspired some .Co- manche County, Texas entrepre- neurs to sell packages of their local topsoil, which contained faint traces of uranium. Patients were supposed to sit with their Sightseeing with feet in the topsoil for relief of rheumatism and other ailments, Some of the products of char- latans have an ancient history, A turn-of the-century fashion in ample bosoms produced "Bust-O- Fill"; the curfent bosom-cons- cious fad has resulted in "Kurv- On," "La Contour" and" m- On," which, says the Food and Drug Administration, "have about the same effect on the de- velopment or structure of the female breast as Smith Brothers cough drops." The "magic detec- tor" of Dr. Albert Abrams, a roaring success in the 20's, pop- ped up again last year in San - Fransisco. The detector enabled * Dr, Abrams to "tune in on the electric vibrations coming from a drop of blood and tell exactly what disease the patients were suffering from." Not all such examples are amusing. Use of the mails for medical quackery, according to Postmaster General Arthur Sum- merfleld, is at an alltime high. Millions fall for quackery be- cause their own physicians' ad- vice is' undramatic, especially in fields such as cancer, where the physician cannot guarantee a cure. An estimated $500 million annually is spent by a duped public on misrepresented drugs or remedies sold door to door. -- From TIME Q.
