IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE When You Say 'THANKS' To Your Hostess Say It With Flowers FROM * LOCKER'S CALL EV 5-2300 WE DELIVER "Arrow From The A&P Next To The New National Tea" UNDER 21 A column lor teen-agers By Dan Halligan DEAR DAN: I would like to have pen pals between the ages of 16 and 19. I'm 16 and I'll try to answer all letters. Judy Lahr, 125 Frorer Avenue, Lincoln, 111. DEAR DAN: Several girls like this one boy and we don't know what to do about him. Don't say we should give him up because none of us want to. On Sundays this boy will take one girl to Sunday School, another one home to dinner, another girl to supper and then he takes still another girl to evening services. Dan, what would you do? -- Poor Girl. DEAR POOR GIRL: The minister should talk to this boy and remind him he attends Sunday School and evening worship for the benefit of his soul and not to put on an exhibition of how popular he is. I think all four girls, yourself included, are stupid for allowing this boy to use you as he's doing. DEAR DAN: Christmas will be here soon and I have to earn some present money • as quickly as possible. I'm only 15 so jobs aren't available for me and I hate baby-sitting. What can I do to earn the money I need? -- Erlene. DEAR ERLENE: Baby-sitting may not be your favorite money-making pasttime but considering your age, it's about your only out. If you want to earn money for Christmas badly enough, you'll swallow your feelings and baby-sit. DEAR DAN: My boy friend is never satisfied with one or two goodnight kisses. He always wants to make-out for Iflor 15 minutes in front of my house and when I say I have to get right in, he gets mad. But if I sit out in the car, my folks get mad. I can't please the three of them and I think my parents should get preference, don't you? -- F. G. DEAR F. G.: I know they should. Your boy friend should realize that if your parents get mad enough, there'll be no more dating and not even one goodnight kiss. Besides that, it doesn't look very nice for a girl and boy to sit too long in a car outside of her house. DEAR DAN: My girl friend is a cheerleader for our school, as of this past football season, and I hate to admit it but I'm jealous. She's going to be going on a number of road basketball games this season and that means she'll be meeting boys from other schools and going to dances at their teen centers. 4 I tjhink when a boy and girl are going steady, that has to mean something and if I don't go dancing when she's away, she shouldn't go dancing either. Am I right or wrong and if I'm right, please print this letter. -- Anxious. DEAR ANXIOUS: You're wrong and the letter still gets printed. Going steady has its limitations about extra dating but I think when you try to prevent, your girl from attending an after-game dance, you're drawing the line too far. If you're that worried about your girl, then you shouldn't be going steady. DEAR DAN: I've done everything I can think of since September to get this one boy at school interested in me but nothing has happened. He just doesn't date and I can't break him down. Can you tell me what might help? -- June R. DEAR .JUNE: If the guy doesn't date, he doesn't date and you'll wind up with a sore brain and nothing more. One of these days he's going to start dating and then your efforts might pay off but not at the present time. DEAR DAN: This is not a serious problem but I would like your advice. I'm 14 and I'm going steady with Jim, who is 15. We've been going together for about a week and this morning Mom, Dad and myself had a discussion on which hand Jim's ring should be worn. They said I should either wear the ring on my right hand or on a chain around my neck but not on the third finger of my left hand where girls wear engagement rings and wedding bands. Which is right? -- Wondering Teen. DEAR TEEN: I don't know which hand is right (or left) and I don't particularly care. I'm sure your parents must feel "it's cute" for you to be going steady at 14 but I think they're light in the upper story. • When a girl starts going steady at 14, you can be sure she'll go steady ten or 12 more times before high school graduation and that borders on the absolute ridiculous. DEAR DAN: We've taken a poll in our freshmen class and out of nearly 150 boys and girls, here are the results: All of the kids say they read your column faithfully but only 87 said they agreed with you all the time. Thirty-six others said they thought you were usually more wrong than right and the rest of the kids said you were always wrong. Most of the disagreement came from your ideas about dating and going steady. The kids here think you're oldfashioned and have lost touch with present day conditions. I'm one of your faithful readers, Dan, But I just thought you should know where you stand here so you can change your ideas if you think they need changing -- Emmie. DEAR EMMIE: Take another poll in three or four years when these same ldds are juniors or seniors and then let me know the verdict. I think you'll be quite surprised to find out the great majority then believe as I do. Your group doesn't quite understand me, I'm afraid. I'm here to help teen-agers and other young people and regardless of how many of your friends disagree with me on some answers, I believe in the answers as being best for the kids. My life is dedicated to young people and has been for the past four years. While this column may not go. on forever, there are many other youth phases in which to work during the coming years and thafs exactly what I intend doing -- working for ldds, win, lose or draw. DEAR DAN: I'm 17 and my boy friend is 19. We've been going together for two years and we want to know if you think we're too young to become engaged at Christmas. We get along well together and our families like each other. Will you give us some fast advice on this? -- S. DEAR S.: Quit trying to flatter me. You know as well as I do that regardless of what I say, if you two want to get engaged at Christmas, you'll do it. Personally, I can't see a 17-year-old girl becoming engaged no matter how long she's been going with the boy. You began dating at 15 and how much dating you had done up to that- tender age Is something I don't know but it wasn't enough. NO INTEREST TAX OBJECTOR REFUND PAYMENTS The following are rulings held by William G. Clark, attorney general for the state of Illinois, during recent weeks, which should be of public interest. A tax objector is not entitled to any interest on whatever refund he may receive by order of the county court. All earnings accruing on the investment of protested taxes by statute shall be paid into the county general fund, Clark's opinion advised State's Attorney Richard R. Cross of MeHenry county. No money can be paid out of the county treasury except by order of the county board or when payment is specially authorized by law. As no statute directs payment of interest on tax refunds, the opinion said, tax objectors therefore are hot entitled to such interest. Resignation of a justice of the peace is effective and a vacancy exists even though the resignation has been rejected by the county board and the justice has turned over all of his books and records to the county clerk. In such case, Clark's opinion advised it is the duty of the county clerk to call an election to fill the vacancy. In so doing, the opinion said, the county clerk can use "reasonable discretion" as to the time the election is to be called. Established poli t i c a 1 parties, the opinion said, may hold a caucus to nominate candidates not more than 88 days nor less than 78 days before the election, while independent party petitions may be filed not less than 78 days nor morethan 85 days before the election.

A registered voter who moves from one precinct to another in the same city is no longer eligible to vote in the precinct from which he has moved. In another opinion, Clark held that a county board can at any time appoint a county supervisor of assessments after a first appointment to such office has been defeated at a referendum.

McHENRY CIVIL DEFENSE John J. Shay, Director Phone 385-2404 Auxiliary Fire Service The present compliment at Station One of the McHenry Township Fire Protection district, located at McHenry, is twenty-three. This includes the chief and two assistants of the district. For the normal fires occurring during the year, this is a sufficient number. However, during a time of great devastation, such as an enemy attack or a natural disaster, the present force would not suffice. The civil defense organization for the McHenry area needs men to volunteer for the auxiliary fire service. The training will take place with the firemen of Company One. The auxiliaries will augment the present force. They viall not be summoned for all fires/'The chief of the district, Edward Justen, and the captain, Henry Buch, are in the process of developing a training program. There will be classroom study and actual training on the operation of the trucks. All volunteers will be taught the safe and correct way to extinguish fires. After they are versed in the operation of all fire equipment, they will have actual experience at fires. A training ground will be selected for this. At the completion of the training they will then become part of the vast McHenry civil defense organization. The entire program must rely on volunteers. Quite a few men have a deep-seated desire to become firemen. This is your chance to fulfill that desire and also continue your present work. Is there a better hobby than learning how to save life and property? Think! Some day it could be your NEW ELECTION CALENDAR FOR 1962 ANNOUNCED Secretary of State Charles F. Carpentier has announced the publication of the primary and election calendar for 1962. A unique feature of the booklet this year is inclusion of requirements for nominating petitions for candidates for Congress at large. This was done because of the possibility the current special session of the General Assembly may not reach agreement on congressional reapportionment, which would result in all congressional candidates running at large. An additional note states that should agreement be reached on reapportionment, a supplement to the hooklet will be issued listing the nominating petition requirements for each of the new districts. . Other information in the booklet includes the dates of the primary and general election for national, state, county and school officials, the offices to be filled, dates for filing petitions, obtaining and submitting absentee ballots and various other dates affecting the elections of 1962. home or your loved ones that are in need of help,. If you would like to volunteer for this worthwhile program, send your name, address and phone number to: McHenry Civil Defense, McHenry, Illinois. Begin to serve yourself and your community NOW!!! Mr. Shay, the director, will be most happy to discuss this with any interested person. His number is at the top of this column. Please call him if there are any questions."
