Pigi Sixteen *HB MeHENHY jptJ^NDEALES UNDER 21 DEAR riend/ and A column lor teen-agers By Dan Halligan DAN: I'm a girl 14 years old and my best friend/and I are just like sisters. If you see me, you see Her. Well, our mothers let us stay at each other's houses and we think that when two girls are that close, they should also be able to share the same clothing. " My mother disagrees and says her mother buys her dresses for her and not for me -- and vice versa. Once in a while I'm allowed to wear my friend's clothes and she's allowed to wear mine but only once in 'awhile. I like her clothes better than she likes them and .she likes mine better than her own dresses and skirts. Don't you think it would bevokay if I wore her clothes more than I now do and she wore mine more often? Her mother doesn't care. -- Troubled Eighth Grader. . ? DEAR EIGHTH GRADER: It's all right for girl friends to wear each other's clothing once in a while but you want to go too far. Before you know it, you'll be writing to me and "asking- if you couldn't swap mothers. You know. If you wore your friend's dress and something should happen to it, even getting slightly soiled, your mother would be expected to have it cleaned or washed. Your mother would expect the same of the other mother. Once In a while is okay but not regularly, I say. DEAR DAN: I'm 15 and every night when I get on the phone, my mother sets the timer on the stove for 15 ininutes and then tells me to hang up when the bell rings. Fifteen minutes aren't long enough for me and I also think I should be entitled to more than five calls a night. Will you tell me What you think? -- Little Miss. DEAR LITTLE MISS: I don't know if your mother allows you 15 minutes for each of your five calls an evening btat if she does, I think she's being more than fair. Personally, I don't know of any girl who has to have five phone calls a night, night after night, and as far as the 15-mlnute deadline, if you're on a party line, 15 minutes Is long enough. If you're on a private line, It's still long enough. The tbner bell ringing probably Irritates you and 1 don't see any reason for it. If your mother says 15 minutes, that should be that and bells aren't necessary. -•* DEAR DAN: I'm going with a girl who has a very annoying habit of pulling out her comb and combing her hair 20 times a night no matter where we are. We can be sitting in, the movies, in a restaurant or just standing with a group tif friends and out comes the comb. I'd like to say something to her because several people have remarked about it but I don't want to make her mad. She's very fussy and the wrong word from me might cause a big argument. Can you help? -- D.C. DEAR D.C.: The wrong word might cause an argument but telling your girl she's going too far wouldn't be far wrong. I'm sure her girl friends have noticed this annoying habit and If one of them would bring up the subject, perhaps at your request, she probably wouldn't take the hint and there wouldn't be hard feelings. They might tell her some boys mentioned she has a very bad habit -- which it is. DEAR DAN: My girl bought me a pair of knee-length shorts for my birthday and expects me to wear them this summer when we go on picnics. I don't want to because I'd look silly in them but I don't know how to tell her"and still not hurt her feelings. Do you? -- Embarrassed. DEAR EMBARRASSED: You could give her her "knobby knees" routine but If you really don't like them, (I don't), simply say you're not going to wear them. I thlnlf men look a little silly in them.

Tor Most of the Popular Breeds BOARDING... ! Training, Obedience, Hunting §z Retrieving WHERE DOES THE iQNEY COME FROM? In last wefeks issue of this paper there appeared an article titled "Where did the money come, from?" which was filled with misleading statements. Read on for the FACTS. We refer to the supposed thousands of dollars being spent on free dinners etc. We assume they refer to the corned beef and. cabbage dinner sponsored by the "Friends of Dick Marshall" held in Johnsburg Illinois. The FACTS are, no less than 35 people DONATED their services for the day-planning-publicity-purchasing-cooking- serving-washing dishes-even down to cleaning and janitor services after the dinner. We refer to the "Few small ads" vs "Big machine advertising campaign." The FACTS are, the Citizen's candidate for Judge had 3.6 times the advertising space in this paper as the Republican candidate. Furthermore the Republican ads were informative as to the background and qualfications of the candidates. vs Citizen's ads which I feel tell you nothing of the candidate but are filled with misleading^ MUMBO-JUMBO. , ^ We refer to such misleading and ambiguous terms as "RE-ELECT" and "UNSEAT", The FACTS are, the office of McHenry County Judicial Districts No. 1, 2, 3, & 4V' -- Justice of the Peace -- are completely new County offices, never held by anyone. Therefor, how can you "RE-ELECT or UNSEAT" an individual who has never held the office. It appears to be unjust and completely* "unfair for anyone to oppose the Citizen's PARTY candidate. Do not be misled by additional MUMBO-JUMBO. Study the individual background and qualifications of your candidates and then vote for the men of your choice. Your Republican candidates were nominated at an open caucus which you were notified, invited and encouraged to attend. WHO PICKED THE CITIZEN'S PART? CANDIDATES? WHO CONTROLS THE CITIZEN'S PARTY TICKET? SOMEONE DOES! Please note "We" have the courage to sign our ads. Dick Marshall & Republican Candidates PUBLIC APRIL 4th! Signed: J. R. Levesque, Prec. 1 C. J.

Freund, Burton Township 9 4 GO TO THE POLLS ON APRIL 4th t, BUT. BE INFORMED! In the Illinois Statute, under Chapter 79, will be found the rules and regulations governing the nominating of Candidates for Justice of the Peaqe and Constable, v\ and under Chapter 139 are printed the rules and regulations for nominating and -j; certifying Township Officials. The rules state, that by LAW, any political party who has elected Precinct Committeemen to office, shall have the right to Caucus for the purpose of nominating and certifying Candidates for various offices. The rules further state the necessary time lapse between the Caucus and Election*. Also, the time prior to the Caucus, to allow for publication so the public can b$. fully notified and attend. Q The Republican Party chose to avail themselves of this right and privilege -- so in essence, our Candidates are not the choice of, and we quote "230 Citizens", buj the unanimous choice of a Legal Caucus. We, The Republican Precinct Committeemen of McHenry and Burton Townships, feel that we have and endorse the finest Candidates available for public office*
