Page Fourteen THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER UNDER 21 A column for teen-agers By Dan Hailigan Di;AR DAN: At our church I am one of the many girls who is very fond of this cerain .boy. Each of us girls, at one time or another, has tried very hard to get this boy to date He says he's a professional bachelor. Dan, just because he doesn't date is no reflection on him. He has a wonderful personality, plays the organ very well and has several horses. He seems to care more for the horses than he does for girls. We're all crazy about him but we can't get to first base. He just turned 21 last week but whenever we ask him to a party or something like that, he simply says he's getting too old for "that sort of thing." Can you please help us? -- One of Many. DEAR ONE OF MANY: Suiw, I can help you but will you take the help? This young inan can't be blamed for not being excited where you girls ars concerned because your attention and interest have been so obvious, he doesn't see any sense in wasting an evening dating you. He might realize there is no such animal as a "professional bachelor" and if you girls will do a complete turnabout and drop him for a couple of months, you may find yourselves getting phone calls from this fellow. I think he's probably missing out on a good bet but it takes all types to make up the world, doesn't it? DEAR DAN: My boy friend and my best friend want to start dating each other as steadies and her boy friend says he would like to go with me. I don't mind breaking up with my steady but I have the feeling that double-dating would be useless because we all would feel self-conscious. Would it be possible for this to work out? -- Tell Me. ! DEAR TELL ME: The double dating could work out if you wanted it to work out. Too many teen-agers when they break up with their steadies become mortal enemies and for what reason? The only thing I do question in your relationship is going steady again. If you take going steady as lightly as you seem, then why do it? DEAR DAN: I'll graduate this spring and my best friend who moved to Florida a year ago wants me to come down there and go to work. She says I won't have too much trouble finding a job and that we can share ah apartment together. I won't be 18 until October and my parents say if I want to go to work, I'll have to get a job here. I don't think pafents should try to keep a girl tied down once she's graduated. Do you? I also think a girl of 18 should be entitled to live as she pleases as long as she doesn't do anything wrong. -- V. B. DEAR V. B.: I'll go along with yon in saying a high school graduate should be allowed more freedom than when she was a school girl. I won't agree with you that moving to Florida is for you. I know, Florida, a job, your own apartment and no parents to supervise all sound very wonderful and very romantic. Aside from the glowing picture you see, what about your parents? Now that you're about ready to graduate from high sehssS, do yss think you have the right to tip your hat and say "So long, parents, it was nice knowing you." Granted that you may be more grown up and mature than your parents realize, you're not as much of an adult as you seem to think. You won't always have your parents and if you can live at home another year or two, why not do it? DEAR DAN: I've gone out with this boy two or three times but he has sort of a fast reputation and I'm worried. I feel if I continue to date him, it will lessen my chances of going with nicer boys. He treats me like a lady and he's a barrel of fun but I no longer have an interest in him. I've given him every excuse I can think of but he's pretty slow to catch on. He asked me to go to the junior prom and I just don't know what to do. I've tried not to hurt his feelings. How can I tell him I don't want to go with him? -- Puzzled. DEAR PUZJM®: Forgetting the boy's alleged "fast reputation," let's ~ straighten out your thinking. You say the boy has treated you like a lady and is a barrel of fun but you no longer have an Interest in him. What sort of interest do you mean? You've only dated him three times at the most and if a, boy is fun to be with and a gentleman, 1 don't know what more a girl expects. If you don't want to date him any more, simply tell him you've got "other plans" the next two or three times he asks and he'U get the message. Where the prom is concerned, tell him now it's a little early and you don't want to obligate yourself this far ahead of the big occasion. That, of course, is smart thinking for any girL DEAR DAN: I haven't said anything to my parents yet because I don't want to upset them but my brother's girl is running around with all types of boys and making quite a name for herself. My brother went into the Navy in December and his girl wasn't supposed to date anyone else. Well, it didn't work out that way. He wasn't away a week before I heard of her going out on him. We go to the same high school* where we're seniors but we don't run around together. I'm more than a little disgusted with her because she's playing my brother for a sap. Should I tell my parents or write to my brother or just what should I do? -- Little Sister. DEAR LITTLE SISTER: Do nothing. Wait until your brother conies home on leave and then break the news to him. Writing him the news while he's In training would only upset him. As for your parents, they couldn't do much so wait until your brother comes home. Here's a note to parents, especially fathers: The season is fast coming along when you'll be fishing, hiking, seeing baseball games and taking part in many other outdoor activities. Maybe you have a son who can enjoy these pleasures with you and maybe you haven't. However, somewhere in your community there is a boy who doesn't have a father. If he knew there was a man in town, a "big brother" who could kind of keep an eye on him from time to time and take him places, his life would be a lot happier. So would your life be enriched. Why not be a "big brother"? Write to "Big Brothers of America," Philadelphia 3, Pa., and find out how you and other men in your city or town can do your part toward helping a boy grow into a useful adult. DEAR DAN: The boys I like don't like me and the boys I don't like seem to like me. Is this normal for kids of 13? -- DEAR RITA: About as normal as normal can be.

AS LOW AS 995 252® W. toto&rocfl Phone: 885-1305 McHenry, Illinois Another good year for hog producers now seems assured. Latest government reports indicate that farmers will produce only a few more hogs this year than they did in 1961. Here is the outlook for market supplies, quarter by quarter: April-May-June. Market supplies will be up a little from last year. Farmers in ten leading producing states had 4 pei'cent more three-to sixmonth- old hogs on hand March 1 than they had a year earlier. Most of these hogs will be marketed in the next three months. *- July-August-September. Apparency marketings will be about the same as in comparable months of 1961. Farmers in the ten states reported 2 percent fewer pigs under three months old on hand March 1 this year than last. These pigs will be marketed during the summer quarter. Summer marketings may be increased by delayed sales of fall pigs and by some hurried sales of March pigs. October- November- December. Market supplies may be a bit larger in the fall quarter this year than they were in" 1961. Farmers in the leading states report that they will increase farrowings by 2 percent in March through May this year over last year. The number "of pigs saved may be up less than 2 percent. Next Winter. Reports indicate lhat farmers plan to increase farrowings by 5 percent this summer over a year ago. Actual farrowings will likely be up 3 to 6 percent. Thus our best guess now is that market supplies will be moderately larger next winter than they were this past winter. Consumer Demand. The demand for pork should be a little stronger this year than it. was in 1961. Consumer buying power is greater. Population is up 1% percent. Employment is up about 2 percent. Average weekly earnings of factory workers are up 7 percent-- because of higher hourly wage rates and more hours of work per week. Prospects for employment are good but. not spectacular. The automobile industry is having a good year, and sales of farm machinery and equipment are up. But both businesses and families continue to spend cautiously. Pork may meet less competition from poultry this summer and fall than it did in 1061. Competition from beef seems likely to be about the same as last year. L. H. Simerl Department of Agricultural Economics WILD ANIMALS MOST IMPORTANT SOURCE OF RABIES For the first time wild animals are becoming a more important source of rabies than domestic animals, according to Dr. George T. Woods, University of Illinois public health veterinarian. Of the 163 rabies cases reported in Illinois last year, 126 involved wildlife. Of this number, ninety-five were skunks. The number of rabid skunks is alarming because of the growing popularity of skunks as pets. During 1957, there were about 21,000 pet skunks in the United States. Authorities say this number is increasing 10 to 15 percent each year. "These figures illustrate the increasing risk of people getting rabies." Dr. Woods said, "because most pet skunks are taken from the wild. They are seldom pen-raised." Direct contact is no longer the only means of getting rabies, however. Research indicates that airborne transmission of rabies is possible in caves populated by rabid bats. Scientists began studying this possibility after several people who had no history of animal bites died from rabies. In each case the person had spent a great amount of time in a batinfested cave. In testing this theory, scientists housed dogs, cats, foxes, coyotes, ringtails and skunks in impenetrable cages and placed these cages in "<a cave filled with bats. All coyotes and foxes died from air-borne rabies. According to Dr. Woods, some wild animals are more susceptible to rabies than others. Tests indicate that opossums are extremely resistant to rabies. Raccoons are less resistant, followed by skunks and then foxes. Dogs are the most susceptible of the five animals. Homes and people without books reminds one of a room without windows. Civilization can be destroyed by apathy, as surely as by force. Be Wise Use The Classifieds HEN FRANKLIN AFTER-EASTER CLEARANCE! Prices Reduced to 50% ad lire! GIRLS' DRESSES Some 2 pc.
