Page Ten THE McHENBY PLAINDEALEB UNDER 21 A column for teen-agers By Dan Halligan DEAR DAN: I like my ex-boy friend again. We went to the movies recently and he seemed to like me but how can 1 tell if he is true? -- Sweet Thirteen. D^AR THIRTEEN: The boy is probably as true to you as any 18-year-old boy can be and where girls are concerned, that isn't too much of a permanent arrangement. DE.AT; READERS: Those of you who have a knowledge of the Fi nch language might be interested in exchanging letters with Irene Tassin, a 16-year-old French girl who is looking for' -pen pals of 16 to 19. Her address is 13 Cite <le L'Opton, Hourlan, Seine et Oise, France. DEAR DAN: You always seem to argue against boys of 18 and older dating girls of 14 and 15 but what about the situation being reversed. I'm a high school girl of 18 and I'm crazy over this 15-year-old sophomore boy. I know he likes me too because a couple of my friends have asked him. I have a feeling he's trying to work up his courage to ask me for a date. If he does, what should I say? I know a lot of kids will ask questions and laugh at us but I think when you really like someone, age shouldn't matter. What about it? -- Ageless. DEAR AGELESS: You're right, age shouldn't matter but only if you're the right age. If this boy and you were 10 years older, 28 and 35, the three-year difference wouldn't matter. However, at 18 and 15, it makes all the difference in the world. In addition to the other factors you mentioned, you ma^ also have to contend with this boy's parents. If they're smart, they wouldn't let him date a girl of 18. I'm afraid you're out of your league this time. DEAR DAN: How can my parents be made to realize that when they're called on to help with some teen-age affairs in our community it's just about the biggest honor "they could receive? For instance, we have this canteen where we dance on Friday and Saturday nights and my mother and father have yet to chaperone their first dance. All the parents of the other kids are only too glad to help but not my parents. Shouldn't parents realize they have some obligations of the type I mentioned? -- Rhonda. DEAR RHONDA: I don't know whether a parent would consider being honored when he's asked to chaperone a teen dance but he should consider it his obligation. If a parent allows a teen-ager to attend a canteen danee and enjoy its benefits, he or she should want to help out in some small way. Chaperoning a dance once every three or four months Isn't asking much and I know Jiow much it means to you kids. C'mpn, parents! DEAR DAN: My boy friend doesn't have a car any more and I was wondering if it would be all right to invite him into the house after he brings me home from a date? My parents would be there only they would be upstairs asleep. A boy and a girl like to have a few moments alone together and without a car, it's practically impossible unless the boy can come into the house. -- R. Y. DEAR R. Y.: Some parents would agree and some would object. If your parents know your boy friend well enough, they'll probably allow the few minutes visit but only for a few minutes. DEAR DAN: Should a boy date another girl just because of a fight with his girl friend when he knows for a fact they'll be back together again in a few days? My boy friend does this all the time. -- Concerned. DEAR CONCERNED. If there are enough arguments, why go steady? I see no harm In the other dating but I doubt if you'll agree with me. DEAR DAN: My boy friend is very fussy. For instance, if he thinks I've got on too much lipstick, hell tell me so and ask me to take it off. If he thinks my skirt is too tight, he gets mad because he says I attract the wrong kind of attention. Now he's on a kick about "The Twist." He says any girl who dances it isn't much more than a tramp and we've had a couple of violent arguments. I enjoy dancing "The Twist" but in order to please him and keep peace, I haven't done so when he's around. I like him a lot but I'm getting a little sick of his overbearing manner and would like to know if you think he's too demanding? Most of the girls I chum around with say they wouldn't take that sort of third-degree from their boy friends. -- Patty. DEAR PATTY: I hope you don't ever plan on marrying this boy because I don't believe you would be happy. A girl should know how to dress and how to act like a lady without being continually informed by her boy friend. Where "The Twist" is concerned, I've already stated my feelings about that. Naturally, a girl certainly isn't a tramp or anything remotely near a tramp just because she likes that particular dance. My objection to "The Twist" is that some teen-agers get carried away with enthusiasm and on occasion, they do look a little vulgar. Most kids, however, stay within reason. DEAR DAN: I like this boy who is two years older than I am and I know he likes me. Do you think I'm foolish at 13? -- Thirteen. DEAR THIRTEEN: No, you're not foolish. You're Just IS, that's all. DEAR DAN: I'm 16 and would like to know if a boy and a girl are going steady, why doesn't the boy phone her? My boy friend is 18 and I'm 16 and we like each other a lot. In fact, we plan to go away when 18. Do you think u Plum-Good" Pork Roast *£ -SK "W\- When the weather is nippy, what tastes better than rich roast pork? The answer is simple: Roast pork with glistening "Purple Plum Glaze." Extra heavy syrup from a can of luscious purple plums is combined with citrus fruits, dry mustard and instant minced onion and gently thickened with cornstarch to make this simple but savory glaze. After applying it to the meat--and how its tartness and shimmer accent the flavor and color of {>ork!--add plums to the sauce that's left and garnish the roast with the juicy, burgundyhued fruit. Purple Plum Glaze 1 teaspoon orange rind 1 teaspoon dry mustard 2 teaspoons instant minced onion 1 tablespoon cornstarch y4 teaspoon salt l.„(llb. 15 oz.) can purple plums in extra heavy syrup 1 cup syrup from plums 2 tablespoons lemon juict % teaspoon lemon rind Drain plums. Blend all remaining ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer a few minutes until thickened. Use to glaze roast pork the last 16 minutes baking tiny*, Add plums to remaining sauce and aarv® with the toast Main* about 114 CUDS sauce. he's just putting me on? I ask that because at times my boy friend acts as if we aren't even going steady. Please tell me what to do, Dan. --\ Kitty. DEAR KITTY: I think you like this boy a lot more than he likes you. He's showing his lack of interest by not giving you the attention a steady girl should expect. You'd be smart if you didn't concentrate all your attention on him and also forget about going away together. DEAR DAN: I'm a Southern girl who thinks very highly of a boy from Ohio who is stationed at the air base near my home. He's well liked and a very nice boy but because he's from the North, my parents have told me not to have anything to do with him. I know this may sound silly but my mother and father are still fighting the Civil War. They say they don't trust a Yankee and don't want me to date this boy. or even speak to him. What really gripes me is that my father owns a clothing store and I personally know mahy boys from the base buy suits and other wearing apparel from him and he doesn't ask if they're from the North or not. Do you know of any way I can convince my parents that their attitude is all wrong? -- Rebel. DEAR REBEL: You^f?clergyman might be able to talk some sense into your parents' heads but I doubt it. If your father doesn't trust the Northern boys, he should back up his belief by not accepting their business in his store. I feel sorry for your mother and him. Thursday, February 22# 1962 ffi&FAIIM NEWS FARM ADVISER BURNETT SA!YS: Milk has received a lot of unfavorable publicity which has led many people to believe milk is the most important source of radio-activity in their diet. This is a very false impression. The truth is that many common foods (mainly of plant sources) are much more important sources of Strontium 90. Why, then, has milk gotten so iffQch publicity? There are good reasons. Milk samples are readily available for test at all times in all parts of the country, which makes it a natural food product to check. Strontium 90 is similar^ to calcium and Americans get about 85 per cent of their calcium from diary products. Hoivever, the cow is a natural filter; only about one-eighth of the Strontium 90 that she eats ends up in the milk. Studies by Dr. Bruce Larson of the dairy, science department at the University of Illinois shows that the more of your diet that comes from milk, the less Strontium 90 you will be consuming. So if you're worried about Strontium 90, increase your consumption of milk and let the dairy cow filter it out for you. A S S I S T A N T A D V I S E R BAYLOR SAYS: A series of five DHIA records clinics have been completed in McHenry county. These DHIA records cah be your most valuable tool in dairying if used properly. It may sound shocking to many dairymen, but the greatest opportunity in dairying today is increased efficiency. This means more milk per cow and at cost of production that will leave you a profit. With a milk surplus in this area, dairymen should take a long look at their dairy enterprise. If you will DHIA test and cull out low producers, you will be increasing your own efficiency as well as reducing the amount of surplus milk on the market. ECONOMIST L. H. SIMERL SAYS: Total stocks of corn on hand Jan. 1 were listed at 4,494 million bushels, or only 4 per cent less than a year earlier.. Most of this reduction was the result of a decrease in stocks owned by the government. Farmers held about as much, corn on Jan. 1 of this year as they held a year before. Stocks of soybeans on hand were estimated at 525 millioif bushels, or 24 per cent more than last year. Apparent dis-j appearance of soybeans in,the* October-December quarter wa? listed at 174 million bushels^ or 13 per cent more than J in the similar period of a year earlier. Most of the greater disappearance thisyear seems to be due to sta^ tistical discrepancies rather, than to increased crushing?, and exports. "So we shall begin by launching the most spectacular peace movement on record.^ There will be electrifying overtures and unheard of concessions. The Capitalist Countries, stupid and decadent will jump at another chance to be friends. As soon as their guard is down we shall smash them with oui? clenched fist." -- Manuilsky, 1931 OUTVALUES PROVE IT IS Lb.
