Does a girl always have to let a guy beat her in sports to make him happy? I've always loved to play tennis and it's especially fun to play with my boyfriend. But he gets so mad whenever I win that he ruins the fun. I don't like the idea of letting him win just be­ cause I'm afraid to hurt his pride, but then again, I'd just as soon save our relationship! He doesn't play tennis all that often and I try to play at least twice a' week. So it's obvious that I have more practice and should play better. But he still throws his racket and pouts whenever I win. I enjoy the game and want to con­ tinue playing but if we're going to get into fights everytime I win maybe I should find another game. Not His Racket Dear Not His Racket: Your boyfriend is still living in the 1950's. Tell him to straighten out his forehand and get in tune with the times! There's nothing wrong with you beating him in a game of tennis and if he's going to have a temper tantrum over it, maybe you should find another partner. If he objects to the idea of you playing tennis with other men, maybe he'll learn a lesson. Stay swinging! Confidential to Shamefaced in Alabama: You've got to stop feeling sorry for yourself and make an effort to get out and meet people. Nobody will ever get a chance to know you if you keep treating yourself this way. Remember, you've got to think highly of yourself before anyone else will. And you better get the self confidence you need or else resign yourself to a lonely life. (If you would like Col lean s comments on your particular situation or probtam. write COLLEEN. Box639. Frankfort. Ky 40601 ). Watch Out On Georgia's b7S Summer travelers had better be especially careful of con artists on Interstate-75 through Geor­ gia. That is the word from some sources that usually would be denying rumors about rip-offs at gasoline stations: the Georgia's governor's office, the Wall Street Journal, the American Automo­ bile Association, and the major oil companies supplying the questionable outlets. No one seems to know how the bad practices got started, but all seem to agree that along that particular throughway, an un­ usually high percentage of ser­ vice station attendants scare motorists into replacing perfectly good parts--and then charge out­ landish prices for the repair work. Warnings that fan belts or shock absorbers are shot are the most common ploy, with tires a cloee third. The state Office of Consumer Affairs has brought charges against dealers for nine different oil companies so far. They "typi­ cally pick on people who really don't need tires, but who appear to be wealthy enough to pay $300 or $400 for them," says Timothy Ryles, administrator of the Of­ fice. The oil companies whose signs fly over the stations are so unhappy over the surge of decep­ tion that they have been trying to close down the stations and have even in some instances reim­ bursed the gullible motorists. The warnings that parts may soon fail are not always false, in­ vestigators say--some station employes deliberately damage pails while checking them out. Drivers get advice from some familiar with the area-- stretching from Chatanooga through Atlanta and down to Florida--not to allow any under-the-hood checks while get­ ting gas. • * * « * e * Work may be a great blessing to man, but there're times when we have doubts. .American Viewpoints DIAL PRAYER 385-1234 Sir, I had rather be right than be president. Henry Clay A rre if Woman For Stabbing Death Of Husband A 30-year-old Harvard woman was arrested and charged with murdering her husband Friday night outside a tavern in Harvard. Held in county jail without bond is Mary Ann F. Morris of 406% N. Garfield street, Harvard, who allegedly stabbed her husband, Richard H. Morris, in the abdominal area.

A preliminary court date for Mrs. Morris has been set for Thursday, July 28. / Don't expect everyone to agree with you; variety of opinion makes the world interesting.
