Page Eighteen \ THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday. October 27, I960? UNDER 21 A column for teen-agers By Dan Halligan DEAR DAN: I baby-sit at least twice and sometimes as much as four evenings a week. Besides that, I help Mom with the housework every Saturday and dp the dishes every night. I also keep my own room picked up, do my own laundry and iron my own clothes. Now, Daddy tells me he's gotten me a job as a waitress for six nights a week. I would work from 5 p.m. until 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday. How can he expect me to do that and still keep up with my studies? I'm not the smartest girl in the world and have to study harder than most kids. If I don't keep Studying, I won't graduate in June. I've tried to tell my father I can't hold down that job ^nd stall continue my schooling but he says I'm just lazy. He should know about lazy people because he •only works when he feels like it and that's not very often. My mother agrees with me but can't say anything to Dad because he's the boss at home. Is there anything you can tell me to do? I know if I don't graduate, I'll be made t6 quit school and go to work full time. Please help me if you can. -- Not Lazy. DEAR NOT LAZY: Your father must be a real gem if you do as much as you say and he still considers you lazy. I agree that you can't keep your studies up and work six nights a week. This may not be completely honest but after working a few days in this restaurant, you could explain your situation to the owner and ask him to fire you. He can tell your father you just weren't cut out to be a waitress if he wants to. Besides, some woman with a family to help support would probably appreciate the job more thail you and it would do her a lot more good. Earning extra moneys is fine but there should be a limit. ^ DEAR DAN: I'm considered the odd ball in the group of guys I run around with because I don't go steady. I know I could go steady with three or four girls if I wanted to but I don't*-1 have more fun the way I am. My friends say I'm missing a lot but I don't agree. What do you say about this? -- Charley. DEAR CHARLEY: There are good and bad features to going steady as well as to playing the field. No teen-ager, of course, should go steady just to say he has a girl or she has a boy friend. Neither should you go steady because your friends are. Going steady is a serious business, sometimes a lot more serious than many teen-agers realize, and I never advise that type of dating for a student unless he's a senior, really likes the girl and she likes him just as much. The girl should also be a senior and not less than a junior. • * * * DEAR DAN: A boy I've been writing to for the past three months is coming home on leave from the Army at Oiristmas. He's a nice guy but is strictly a friend. However, I'm afraid he may get the idea I should keep every evening free for him while he's here and I don't want to do that. I'm not going steady with anyone but I do have my friends and activities to keep up with and don't want to be tied down for two weeks. « Is there any nice way I can tell this bOy how I feel without making him feel like I'm stabbing him in the back? -- W. D. T. DEAR W. D. T.: Yon may be worrying needlessly and lids soldier friend may be just that -- a friend who enjoys your letters. However, to save yourselves embarrassment you might mention in your next letter that even though you will be very busy over the holidays, you hope he drops by to see you once or twice while he's home. This little hint should set him straight and at the Rune time not hurt his feelings too much. I know you're worrying about fourteen dates in as many evenings with this boy but you may be taking too much for granted. WEATHER RESEARCH An electrical charge fed into the lower atmosphere and carried aloft to clouds has produced rainfall -- marking another step toward better understanding and control of weather. This announcement was made last week by William C. Ackermann, chief of the Illinois State Water Survey, in reporting first results of a weather research program. The study was based on a theory that electrical charges have the power to unite tiny particles of moisture in a cloud. It was designed to test a further theory that manmade charges fed into the atmosphere might influence cloud formations and rainfall. fWjf JjtMUj -- Xooml ALL-WOOL TWEED TIDY RUG CARPET CLEANERS MS Spring Grove BROWNIES SHOW TALENT AT GIRL SCOUT COUNCIL by Mrs. Charles Freund Brownie Troop 518 was one of the troops that participated in a program presented by Sybaquay Girl Scout council -- Kachina Neighborhood on -Sunday, Oct. 23. at Wonder Lake.
