\J2iursday, January 5* 1961 THE McHENRY PLA1NDEALER UNDER 21 A column for teen-agers By Dan Halligan DEAR DAN: I received an expensive sweater from my aunt as a birthday present last week but I don't like it and won't wear it. I can exchange it but wouldn't want to hurt my aunt's feelings for the world.1-She knows my exact size so I can't say it's too large or too small. Can you tell me what to say? -- Greta E. DEAR GRETA: Maybe your aunt would understand If you told Ker the truth. She knows teen-age. girls have their °wn tastes in clothing and I'm sure she wouldn't mind if you asked her if you could exchange the sweater for something e'se. DEAR DAN: Two boys from school double-dated with my girl friend and myself last week and we ended up necking in the car. Now the boys want to date us again but this time the boy I dated wants ta go with my friend and her date wants to date me. I'm afraid we would go parking again and it would just make me feel like a piece of merchandise. I usually don't park with a boy but once in a while I make an exception. Should we accept the date or do you think there would be trouble? -- W. I. v DEAR W. I.: As long as you're that big about certain 8jj»ati°ns and make exceptions, make ofife in this case. You two girls Would be used exactly as y<ni®expect and you can be sure you would be the subject of a lengthy conversation between your dates and other boys. The date can bring you nothing but trouble so don't accept. DEAR DAN: My father is the type of person who has to know a boy's entire history before he will let me date him and it's gotten so bad this school term, I've only been asked but once. That date was with a boy down the street whom my parents have known for years but it wasn't very much fun. Is there anything you can suggest that would make father change his mind about dating? I've missed out on so much fun this year, Dan, sometimes I feel like leaving home. -- No Dates. DEAR NO DATES: I've often said the parent who is too*, strict is no better off than the parent who is too lenient. Somehow or other your father should try to reach a happy compromise. Any parent should have enough faith in his or her daughter to allow them to accept dates on their own. Parents should be interested in the girls and boys their teenagers date and they should even be a little curious but they shouldn't expect a complete biography. DEAR DAN I got a job after school and on Saturdays arrow months ago with the understanding I could hold it down ai' long as my grades didn't slip. I admit my grades could Be' a little better but they're not that bad that I should have to quit working which is what my parents want me to do. They said they would hold off on a decision until we heard from you so hurry up and please tell us what you think -- Billy. DEAR BILLYj Schooling has to take priority over any job and perhaps this is a case of you trying to do too much your free time. You won't have as much spending money bt«i perhaps if you could confine your working to Saturdays only that arrangement would make everybody happy. y DEAR DAN: Is a 13-year-old boy too young for a "shotgun? My husband wants to give our son a shotgun for his birthday next month but I'm a little worried about such a gift. What do you think? -- Anxious Mom. DEAR MOM: After packing various types of guns for six years during and after World War II as a serviceman, I now have absolutely no use for them and couldn't give you a fSH^'answer but I say no shotgun.

FORTY YEARS AGO • Taken from the Files of Dec. 23, 1920 Richard B. Walsh and W. E. Bradley are the two new directors at the West McHenry State bank. The directorship, with the addition of the newly appointed men, now consists of Dr. C. H. Fegers, Edwin Wagner, Simon Stoffel, Parker S. Webster, Frank H. Wattles and F. A. Bohlander. The members of the local post of the American Legion were treated to some feed at the post's club rooms in the Stoffel block in this village on Tuesday evening of this week, of which time G. H. Q. of the frying pan brigade issued some hot stuff in the form of domestic venison, hasenpfeffer and rabbit together with all the trimmings that go with such a spread.

Serve them warm with cream for tonight's dessert. Here's the new trick: Instead of baking the apples, simmer them on top of the range in a syrup of fruit-flavored gelatin spiced with cinnamon and cloves. You'll like this new way to achieve a more perfect glaze and flavorsome baked apple. Rosy Glazed Apples 1 package (3 ozs.) strawberry- 1 y2 cups boiling water flavored gelatin 1 cup cold water 1 package (3 ozs.) apple-flavored 6 large red baking apples gelatin 1 large stick cinnamon 6 whole cloves Dissolve 2 packages of gelatin in IV2 cups boiling water. Add 1 cup cold water. Core apples. Starting at stem end, pare off a 1-inch strip of skin around each apple. Place apples, stem up, in a large skillet. Pour gelatin syrup over apples in skillet. Add spices. Place skillet over medium heat and bring liquid to a boil. Cover; reduce heat. Simmer apples 15 minutes or until tender. Remove cover. Place skillet under broiler about 2 inches from heat. Broil apples, basting frequently, 15 minutes, or until apples are glazed and lightly browned. Serve warm or cool with syrup. Makes 6 servings. Note: If apples are to be stored in refrigerator, pour syrup into a small pan and chill until set. Before serving, rice or dice the set syrup and arrange around each serving.

FORTY YEARS AGO Taken from the Files of Dec. 30, 1920 Miss Laura Krause, who during the past few years has the Waukegan street crossing, is now a bride, having been united in marriage to J. C. Jolly of Crystal Lake on Christmas Day. Mrs.. Elizabeth Buss, one of McHenry's highly respected citizens, passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A. Wisnell in Chicago, Wednesday, where she had been visiting. According to reports prescriptions have also taken a big jump, going from $1.00 to $3.00 each. It is almost a safe bet that ninety percent of the prescriptions that are being filled nowadays are not being used for the purpose intended. Six dollars per pint is surely a good, stiff price to be paying for "booze" and should go a long ways towards eliminating the craving for the stuff. The members of the Altar and Rosary Sodality of St. Patrick's church met with Mrs. Jack Walsh Tuesday with fourteen members present. The January meeting will be at the home of Mrs. M. J. Walsh when a quilt made and donated by Mrs. Ed. Knox will be raffled off.
