age Twelve THE McHENRY PLAINDEAIJER Thunday, Augtfci 10,-19619 H UNDER 21 A column for teen-agers By Dan Halligan ~ DEAR DAN: More than anything else in the world I want to be loved by my parents but I'm afraid they only tolerate me and nothing else. You see, I'm not very bright, don't have many friends or much of a personality and haven't any taient. Sometimes I wish I hadn't been born because I know what a drag I am to my mother and father. Is this feeling other teen-agers get sometimes? I'm nearly 14. and need your help. -- Evelyn. DEAR EVELYX: Girls ot-"nearly 14" being unsure of themselves are" very common and your problem is all In your head. Maybe your parents don't say so in words but they love you and you're really the apple of their eye. " We all have*a talent even if it's only making someone else smile once in- awhile. I'm sure you can do that much, can't you? Remember, you are what you want yourself to be. nothing more and nothing less. You be the most, will you? DEAR DAX: Now that my older brother is home from c< Ilece. my parents let him take the car whenever tye wants rt and I'm left without any way of getting over to see my girl. I don't think this is very fair. What do you have to say? I wouldn't mind walking but my girl lives nearly 10 miles out in the country and that's a little too far to hike. -- Swifty. DEAR SWIFTY: Tell your parents they'd better watch "Cut or .they'll be breaking up one boy and girl ^vosome. If ill? understanding was that you would have the car on a r» r»;tin night to see your girl, I think your parents should continue with that idea. After all, I think you only w®nt fair treatment and your big brother is getting too much attention ;-- if everything is as you say. DEAR DAN: I've just had to turn down a chance to work for the city as a playground supervisor because my father says I can find something better and make more money. Honestly, Dan. jobs for teenagers are few and far between in this city and I was lucky to get the one I did. Do you think I should have been forced to refuse the job? -- Morris1. DEAR MORRIS: You might have been able to have gotten something with more pay earlier in the spring but this late. I think your father made a mistake in making you give up the playground job. Let's hope we're both wrong. DEAR DAX: The longer I know this boy who lives on fry block, the more I like him. My brother says lie is always talking about me so he must like me too. The big trouble is that I can't get him to ask me for a date. What do you think I should do? -- J. H. - 'DEAR J. H.j If I knew your age and your dating status, I could probably give you as much help as anyone but I don't. If ybu're allowed to date by your parents and this neighborhood boy dates girls, then there's no reason why you ^Jjiuldn't be Iris date some evening -- providing he's not more .than a year and a half older than you are. It seems to me if everything is ripe for this date, your brother could speak to the boy. supposedly without you "kno\. ing it. That could do it -- get your date and solve your problem. While we're on this subject of dating, you boy readers would be surprised at the nice girls you know you could date :f you would only speak up. I have dozens of girls write ir.e every week, all of them with the same complaint. They like certain boys and want to know how they can get those l"ry-? to start liking them. You boys know as well as I do tnat in 90 per cent of those "liking" cases, you like these mis as much as they like you. However, you're just too bashful to speak up or to even smile and the poor girls have the idea you don't even know they exist. You fellas would have a lot more fun during the rest of this summer and during the coming high school year if you'd swallow your shyness, convince yourselves the girls -you like just might like you and at least start speaking to these lovely creatures. - Remember, if you don't, you're only cheating yourselves -and you re making life pretty tough on the girls too! . . DEAR DAN: J have a problem I'm sure you can help me with-it s about a boy I met while swimming at a public -be^h-a tittle distance from town. I don't know his name, age address or town but yet he knows everything about me. He asked me to go underwater and kiss him but I refused because my friends and their parents were looking at us. • For Him"' please print this and give me some help. -- Lonely f i ®EAR LONELY: In this business you receive all types of letters -- sincere, from smart-aleeks, from "Monday morng quarterbacks,' threats and some that are nauseating. InZtht °hut°ifthe frry say' You have right, but it s nothing I can help you with. a problem, You re going to have to find out for yourself what bbPeffoorrel you ?loesien ?o ua*t. lady and being otherwlse. Wake upF, gK irl, NEW LAW FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY MAY BE REQUESTED Secretary of State Charles F\ Carpentier has announced that if a special session of the General Assembly is called he will request that the call include legislation for compulsory reporting by the. medical professkwof physical and mental disabilities which might disqualify; drivers of motor vehicles. • Secretary Carpentier said that his decision was based upon- recommendations of his newly formed Division of Research and Development after review of thousands of cases in which, .medical or physical disability was the sole or contributing factor in fatal and injurious accidents. These recommendations are also strengthened by study of statistics covering the same field produced by national agencies. Secretary Carpentier referred specifically to" information obtained from the conclusions and recommendations of the traffic safety branch of the U.S. Department of Health, Education and „ Welfar'e. Secretary Carpentier said that, his recommended legislation will be designed to insure and preserve the confidential nature of. the physician-paticnt relationship. The proposed legislation bears the endorsement of national leaders in the field of .public health, Secretary Carpentier said, and it is his intehtion to discuss thoroughly the entire program with state and local medical groups. Johnsburg RESIDENTS DURIN& SUMMER OBSERVE 40TH ANNIVERSARY Betty Rettermann RAISE STANDARDS A bill amending the School Code to raise the standards for issuance of tedcfier certificates was signed into law last week by Gov. Otto Kerner. In signing House Bill 1337, Gov. Kerner said: "This bill will significantly raise the standards foi the issuance of teacher certificates by raising the requirement for a provisional certificate from 60 semester hours of college credit to 90 semester hours, applicable until June 30, 1964. Provisions of the bill require that after July 1, 1964, all teachers must have earned a bachelor's degree before they can be issued certificates.V The governor remarked that this will elevate Illinois from one of the lowest four states in teacher certificate requirements to one of the top 10 states in such requirements. Kites are one of the earliest of all toys--they are mentioned in the earliest writings of Asia and Egypt. Our community joins in congratulating Mr. and Mrs. Anthony E. Kozie, Sr., who celebrate 40 years of wedded bliss on August 10. The Kozies reside in Elmwood Park, but have spent 37 summers in their home on the river in Niesen's subdivision. They have two children, Meldora and Tone Jr., a daughtei-inlaw. Dee, and a son-in-law, Edward Best. They also have been blessed with two grandsons, namely, Brad Charles, and Dane Thomas Kozie. Who I might add have enjoyed many good times in their grandparents' home. Congratulations once again to Mr. and Mrs. Kozie and may there be many more years ol love, happiness and companionship. On The Move *" Last week we lost a fine family when the Carlos O'Briens moved from our vicinity. Although they lived here a little over a year or so the O'Brien family made many friends. We wish them lots of success and happiness in their new surroundings. John and' Cynthia Knox and their three children moved into the home on Church street recently vacated by the O'Briens. A warm welcome is extended to the Knox family who are no strangers in our town. Belated Greetings I goofed last week when I f a i 1 ed to remember Agnes Freund and Gerry Hettermarin's birthdays which are both on Aug. 5. Also belated wishes to Marge and Rudy Fisher who celebrated 21 years together on Aug. 3. Best yyishes to all even though they are a little late.

Plan For 4-H Dairy Judging The Illinois State Fair will •be a testing ground for 40 of .

The State Fair 4-H judging „ contest will be held Monday afternoon, Aug. 14. Forty 4-H'ers earned the right to compete in the State c Fair judging contest by winning top honors in the judging " contest held at the University | of Illinois in July. They are the survivors of an original ' group of more than 2,000 4- 1 Hers who have competed in " dairy judging contests this . year. The four top dairy judges at •' the State Fair will compete in the national 4-H dairy cattle judging contest on Oct. 2 at the National Dairy Cattle Congress in Waterloo, Iowa. Last year the Illinois team coached by University of Illinois dairy specialist Jerry Cash, ranked second in the national contest and was the winning team at the International Livestock Exposition in Chicago.

Carnival Success With the passing of last weekend, we bid the carnival season goodbye until next year. Everyone connected with St. John's carnival in any capacity breathed a sigh of tired but contented relief. A carnival is a big undertaking and can only be successful if everyone works together. I'm sure everyone concerned was more than happy that the parish carnival turned out as successful as it was. Baseball provided diversion for those who wanted a break from the frequent purse openings. Ihe famous cooks from our fair town outdid themselves culinary wise again this year. Fish on Friday, lunch on Saturday, roast beef Sunday hoon and ^upper Sunday evening satisfied even the "fussiest" of eaters. All in all last weekend proved once age'in that if people work together anything is possible. Rescue Squad Calls Your rescue squad was called upon once again to lend assistance last week. An early morning call on Tuesday too them to Pistakee Highlands where a woman resident needed their aid. ,£rhe was taken in the squad ambulance to Mc- Henry tor further treatment. While playing ball on our local diamond last Sunday a McHenry player hurt his foot and had to be taken to the McHenry hospital. Although there are no bones broken the fellow is going to have a pretty sore foot for awhile. How about your tickets for Ihe rescue squad dance on Sept. 3? If you haven't got them as yet why put it off any longer. They are available from any of the squad members. aftet1 several weeks In the Illinois Central hospital. While there lie underwent more skin grafts to cover burns he sustained Good Friday. His parents have high hopes, baring any unforseen complications that young George will be able to start back to school next month. We all hope his days ahead will be much happier and healthier. \ Around the Town Mrs. Irene Tamasy of Florida has been enjoying a couple of weeks visiting her father, and wife, the Joe Smiths. The Don Rosing family ot Jak-Ana Heights should be returning home this weekend after a weeks vacation in Nebraska. Carol Ann Stilling retui'ned to St. Coletta's school after spending a month's vacation here. Susan Pitzen is on her vacation now from the same school in Jefferson, Wis. Bert and Rita Davis and their three children of Chicago spent Friday visiting relatives here. Joy Ann Hettermann returned to the city with them for a week's vacation. Little Sherry ffechous will be confined to her home for a few days while she recuperates from the measles. Mrs. Mary Hettermann and children were joined by her family for a picnic at the Wagner home in Milton, Wis. last Tuesday. Meeting Postponed Because of the holyday next ^Tuesday, the Lady Foresters will postpone their meeting unt i l t h e f o l l o w i n g T u e s d a y , Aug. 22. The best definition yet of personal liberty seems to be; "Liberty is not the power of doing what we like to do, but the right to be able to do what we ought to do", (by Lord Acton) Dozing behind the wheel can lead to some wide-awake nights in the hospital. According to the Institute for Safer- Living, motorists should double their guard against fatigue and drowsiness during warm summer months. Frequent roadside or other rest stops will help to keep your driving up to the safety level.
