Page-Ten THE l&HEN&lf' PLAINDEALEB UNDER 21 A column lor teen-agers By Dan Halligan. DEAR DAN: I can't afford to go out as often as my qiii thinks we should go out. I have about $5.00 a week for spending money and sometimes the places she wants me to take her are way out of line. A lot of the guys I know have that extra money and she thinks because all of her friends can go, she should be allowed that right too. How can I make her see I just have so much to spend? -- Broke. DEAR BROKE: The best and quickest method to use is to tell your girl you're still a high school boy and you just have a certain amount to spend each week and no more. You can cither really live it up and then stay home for'a couple of weeks or spend more wisely and not interrupt your dating. DEAR ,DAN: There's a big iee show going to be held at this auditorium in the largest city in our state. It's about 130 miles from home and Mom says my boy friend can't lake-me because it wouldn't look nice. I don't understand. We would be home by 1 a.m. and another couple would be going with us. What harm would there be in that? --= Disappointed. DEAR DISAPPOINTED: The trip wouldn't be socially improper so your mother may be using the "not nice" excuse because she doesn't want you out on the highway that late at night, ( an you blame her? DEAR pAX: I live in a large apartment building and my boy friend always leaves me in the lobby instead of seeing me to my door. Half of the time he doesn't kiss me either because people around. -- Pam. DEAR PAM: You should be escorted to your door. Doesn't your beau know there are fewer people upstairs in the ball than in the lobby? DEAR DAN: I work in a drug store as cashier and I've gotten to know a number of the steady customers. There's' 1 his young man of about 20 who has become quite friendly to me and I'm wondering if I should accept a date from him 'if he ever asks. I've got a feeling he's going to ask. He doesn't know my name yet but he does know a lot about me because we've talked. -- Getting Anxious. DEAR GETTING ANXIOUS: Accept a date, I say. However, don't let it be one of these "I'll pick you up after you get through work" deals. Accept the date for the following night after you've been asked and have him come by the house to meet your folks. And before accepting, ypu'd better get an okay from your parents. They might not agree with me. DEAR DAN: I returned this boy's ring, a going steady ring, last week and tonight I saw another girl wearing it. I also know he has. told her he bought it specially for her. Should I tell her about it and also tell her what kind of boy he is£ Jie's selfish, and wants his own way a,ll the time. -- Wanting to Help. DEAR WANTING: Don't spoil an illusion. Maybe he bought the ring for you and maybe*a dozen other girls wore :t before you came along, but let this girl enjoy herself. He's no longer any concern of yours and as long as he never did anything really wrong, stay out of this. DEAR PAN: I came to this country a year ago and I would like to get a pen pal for my daughter. Her name and address are as follows: Jenny Caurins, 170 Lauler Street, Utherland, Liverpool 21, England. DEAR -BAN* My mother has agreed to let me have a boy-girl party in our basement but says she's going to post some^ "house rules" on the wall and if any of my friends don't behave, they'll have to leave. * I think this is very unfair and very embarrassing. My friends are good kids and Mom knows all of them. The age groug will be 15 and 16-year-old girls and boys. . One house rule I know that will be posted will be "no smoking." Can you imagine? My parents will be upstairs and if they think some of my friends will try to smoke, they're crazy. Is this fair of them? -- S. S. DEAR S. S.: - Your mother isn't running a public canteen or recreation center and If she has to post rules and regulations, for your friends to read and obey, then she shouldn't let you have the party. Does she post rules when she entertains her tfrldge club? DEAR DAN: My girl changes the color of her hair about every three weeks and I think she looks terrible. One week, she's a blonde and the next time we have a date she's a redhead. Her parents have objected as much as I have but they let her have her way and she says changing hair color is th£ style. What's really getting me lately is that some of the guys I know are razzing me. They keep asking me "Who's the girl you were out with last night?" Can you give some good advice? -- Shook Up. 'DEAR SHOOK UP: The advice I give is pointed at your girl's parents and not at her. They should say "no" and mean; it. Your girl is risking serious hair damage regardless of what she's been told. If she likes you enough, she'll let her hair alone. . DEAR DAN: I'm only a high school sophomore but already I know I want to be a missionary in later life. I don't; date at all and I'm not interested in boys. Neither do I have any close girl friends. My parents are worried about me because they say it isn t patural for a girl of 15 to act the way I am. Honestly, Dan, - I m not acting. I want to serve our church in some distant land. Is there anything wrong with that ? Missionary. DEAR MISSIONARY: Of course, there isn't anything wrong with your desire. Why not see if your clergyman won't talk to your parents? I'm not saying you should be dating, but at 15 a girl sometimes changes her mind. Your clergyman can give you a lot better advice in this matter than I can. . - DEAR DAN: Why must some teen-agers be so selfish? Im a widow with a daughter who just graduated from high school and she says if she can't go to the state university she won t go to any college. Now, Dan, I've been saving my m0je^ several years and now have enough put aside to send her to a nearby less expensive college. This school offers the same subjects she would take at the University but according to my very spoiled daughter, "it won't be the same." I m at the point now where I don't care whether or not my girl does take advantage of the college offer What is your opinion? -- Mad Mom. t. <it®EA* MAD M°M: I have the same opinion. I realize VT offers a lot more prestige (is there such a word?) than the smaller college but it's time your daughter began learning the value of money. Let her stew in her own Juice for another couple of weeks and then give her one final chance. As it is, she may be too late even now to be admitted to the smaller school. u oa®^, PA.N: My boy friend has a horrid reputation. He earned it last summer when he ran around with an older crowd of boys, most of whom are now in the state industrial school. He didn t get into ^ny trouble himself but he still has IJ? JfP i10" lately my parents say I'd better be thinking about breaking up with him. They know he hasn't done .anything wrong but they're afraid if I associate too much with him, people will begin to start looking down at me too. This isn t a very fair approach, is it? Phv DEAR PHY: No, it isn't a fair approach or anything even remotely reseinbhng one. If yo„r parents know your boy friend hasn't done anything to be ashamed of, a lot more parents know the same. The boy can only prove himself to others by his actions and if you drop him just because of What people say, he'll have an even tougher job ahead of him. I wish your parents would reconsider. > DEAR DAN: Is it making out when a girl lets a boy kiss her twice while they're parked in front of her house' The corner street light was only 20 feet away and my porch hght was on too. This happened last night and when I came m the house, my father accused me of sitting and neckinc with my boy friend. Is that making out? -- No Make Out DEAR NO MAKE OUT: If everything happened as quickly as you say, it couldn't have been making out. • * -DEAR DAN.*, SijQuld I take money from my married sister for my baby-sitting? I work for her about once a month Don t Know. k J"5," ,"°N/T KNOW: " y<" te having a financi.1 hardship, don't take money. Alter all, you're all one family.

In her words, it was "inspiring and informative." As president of Robert Vanderstratten auxiliary unit, No. 1169, she recalled highlights of the convention. It was her attendance that made her aware of an added pride in her own unit and the entire Eleventh district, and grateful for the won/l£-:ul help in Poppy day donations, blind vets' coupons, patronizing rummage and bake sales and many, other services performed by members. Mrs. ^Strojny reels that membership can mean a great deal to those who receive and those who are performing the services, and for this reason she asks eligible women to join the Legion auxiliary or the Legion post.
