Lately, however, they have been so inexcusably rude toward me that I feel like two cents. Now when Johnny brings me over to his house, his parents mutter two or three wjpds to me and continue on with what they were doing before I came in, completely ignoring me. How can I find out what I've done to make them act the way thev are toward me? Johnny says it cant be . very apparent« ib ecause hu e hua .^n t noticed annn„ytlhKiinng„. cPoleoacsroe !

Also, some of the children feel left out because they can't afford the $7 or $8 it takes or being denied to go by their parents who believe it isn't suitable entertainment for children of that age. Those parents are in the minority but I agree wth them. I believe this type of outing is out of line and unsuitable for children of eighth grade age. Wouldn't it be much nicer after the exercises to have punch and cookies in the gym, let the boys and girls dance, visit or play games? The parents could go into another part of the building on tbo same floor level and have their own entertainment. The boys and girls could go home about 11:30 p.m. Am I wrong in thinking lhat boys and girls of 13 and 14 should be entertained as boys and girls and not as adults? Is this a parent problem,' school board problem or school administrator problem to solve? -- Let's Be Sensible. DEAR L. B. S.: The problem, and that's exactly what It is, is one for the parents to solve. While we can be nice about it and call the "road house" a supper club, nevertheless, the kids would be in an atmosphere over their heads. Stepping out, such as these kids will be doing, should be reserved for high school graduates, not . grade school graduates. • > This problem can be easily solved if enough parents, feeling as you do, start speaking up. I know if I lived in your community, I'd do some squawking -- loud and clear. THE MAIL BAG JOEY: It doesn't look nice and isn't very proper for a girl to walk into a restaurant ahd head for a booth where two boys are sitting. If they want to see you badly enough, let them come to you.

Otto Kerner recently urged the federal government to designate 33 southern Illinois counties as a "single redevelopment area" in order to effectively and successfully carry out the provisions of the new federal Area Redevelopment Act.
