X ~w PifftT.n THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thurwlay. Apriil3,19Q UNDER 21 A column lor teen-agers By Dan Halligan DEAR TEEN-AGERS: Many of you are still asking vthere and how you can get in contact with foreign pen pjnlg and for your benefit and for any new readers this Week,-once again I'll give you the addresses to write for pen pals. American teen-agers write to: Children's Plea for Peace, World Affairs Center, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis 14. Minn. Enclose along with your name, age, address and sex 25 cents in coin for each name requested. Th^~money isn't for the pen pal's name but for clerical expenses. \ „ „ v DEAR DAN: How can a. girl who doesn't believe in kissing a boy the first few times out impress on him that she isn't a prude and that she likes him and would' like him to ask for a second date? Ever since I started dating a few months ago this problem has been worrying me. I've had dates with boys but very few of them have asked me out a second time and I'm wondering if it isn't because they think they were cheated because they didn't get to kiss me goodnight. Is a goodnight kiss a "must" when a girl is brought Wome? If it is, I guess I'll wind up an old maid because J Won't trade my prihciples just to make a boy feel good. Am- I wrong in my thinking? -- Mona. DEAR MONA! No, you're not wrong in your thinking except In thinking that boys rate girls on whether or not they get goodnight kisses. Some boys, of course, do think they're cheated if they don't get at least one kiss. Others feel cheated if a girl won't park with them the first time q§jt together. Others are pleased when they find a girl who won't, kiss them and still others are disappointed^ but both groups usually ask the unkissable girls out again and again. As long as you believe as you do, stick with your principles. You ran gentle squeeze a boy's hand at your front door, at the same time telling him what a "wonderful" evening you had and he'll be halfway home before he realizes he didn't get kissed. He won't mind though and he'll be back. DEAR DAN: I'm a boy of 14 and am ashamed sometimes to go to school because of the way my hair looks. My father won't send any of us kids to barber shops except about three times a year and when he cuts my hair, you can tell it's a home-made job. . It isn't that we don't have the money for the barber because we do. We're not rich but we have enough money from one week to the next. Dad always goes, to the barber shop but whenever I complain he says, "No one notices kids. They do too. What do you think? -- Ashamed. DEAR ASHAMED: There are home barber kits and With enough practice, a father can do a creditable. Job qn his youngster's hair. However, he can also make the child feel ashamed if the job is sloppy. I've seen the type of haircuts you've written about and X know the kids must feel "funny." Your father, of course, has his own mind to do as he pleases where you and your brothers and sisters are concerned but if he doesn't want to send you kids to the barber shop, he oould atke a little more pains with his work. THE MAIL BAG MAX1NE: Send along your address and I'll give you n&mes and addresses of several book publishers. After all, you never know!

Chuck Weingari Wally Anderson Lester Bacon Arnold Rauen Harold Freund Joe Sullivan Chas. Adams Larry Murray How Can I ? Q. How can I improvise an ice box for my automobile? A. You can make an efficient one just by placing a small cardboard carton. inside a larger one, and packing the space around the smaller carton with some crumpled newspapers for insulation. Glue several layers of corrugated cardhoard to the cover of the larger carton to help insulate the top. For effective insulation, the • newspaper-packed space between the two cartons should be at least one and one-lialf inches. Q.

Rubbing them with vinegar or lemon juice will give relief, make them solf and white, and prevent chapping.

How can I mtiffle • the clatter of my typewriter when I am working late at night at home and want to avoid disturbing the other members of my family? A.
