FEEL RIGHT" 95 Ontario St. By GEORGE LILLEY NEW YORK, N. Y.--At 32, Ralph Edwards, operator of ra- io's dizziest quiz show, "Truth ¢ Consequences" (Satur day nights, NBC), takes down for his silliness $7500 a week. This bald- @ ing, red-head, ex- intercollegiate boxer (welter- weight, Uni- versity of Cal- ifornia) started out as an Eng- lish professor. Turning to fra- dio, he = once had, as an in- timate voiced commercial an- nouncer, 44 shows a week, among them Ben Bernie, Tony Wons, Major Bowes, Fred Allen. A party game called "forfeit" gave him the idea for his jackpot quiz. Ralph Livingstone Edwards, crazy only professionally, thinks up his stunts quietly at home with the aid of his wife, Youngstown, Ohio's Barbara Sheldon, his le- gal business partner. For recrea- tion, they attend three or, four movies a week, weep copiously at the sad ones.

Most people think of them as only good for business purposes, but a neat arrangement of your name and address on a rubber stamp is very handy for many purposes. For instance, where you would like to have an inexpensive way of putting your name and ad- dress at the top of your-letter, a return address on the envelope. This same stamp could also be used for placing your name and address on your books. Full particulars gladly furnished on those suitable for your particular purpose.

I used to live on a farm until my Dad got married again. I am very lonesome here, where I don't know many people. Lately a fellow that works where I do has been dat- ing me. He is a widower. I like him a lot, only for two things. One is that he swears every time he speaks. The other is, he tells nasty stories. I just don't laugh because I feel embarrass- ed and angry. Should I ask him not to do these things or not go with him any more? He is fifteen years older than I. RUBY, Answer: Well, Ruby, I think a girl like you would soon find a more suit- able boy friend than this man, so much older. It would not make so much difference if he were uneducat- ed, even totally unversed in the nice- ties of life. He might still have a gentleman's heart of gold. The fact that he has no instinct to tell him a nice girl is offended by profane lan- guage condemns him. The "nasty stories' bar him completely from the company of respectable girls. I hope you will let this man look for someone of his own type. INA ST. JOHN. HER GIFT LIST Dear Miss St. John: Iam an invalid. I have never earn- ed any money. My folks are good to me, but they haven't much money, so I never use any money for Christ- mas presents. For months I make things. Other years I liked these make-shift gifts, but this time I don't know. I have a nice boy friend. I knitted a scarf for him. I just learn- ed to knit this past fall. I have been wondering if I should | just write a little note to each of my friends and skip the home-made pres- ents. What started me thinking that is my friend's presents. She works and makes good money. She just goes down and shops around one Sat- urday afternoon and spends the next one getting the things all done up lovely. Now I don't think my stuff is worth giving after seeing hers. Please $25,000.00 To be given away!

One works, while the other helps her mother at home. The first girl buys nice Christmas presents for her family and friends. The home girl knits, sews and knows various hand crafts. Her gifts are all hand- made. They are received with de- light. After all, anyone can buy a present, but very few spend time and thought and ingenuity to produce something for a loved one. No doubt your gifts are truly appreciated and valued as much as anything you would buy. INA ST. JOHN. TRUTH OR FICTION ? Dear Miss St. John: Do you know if the author of a cer- tain best seller (about. China) was married to a Chinese poet? This marriage was not recognized by Amer- ican law so she was free to marry an American. I heard this at a dinner recently. No one appeared to see anything amiss. Do you think this story is true? SHOCKED. Answer: There are good and bad in all walks of life, Shocked. A per- son who writes a best-seller may be as "shocking' in character as any other woman might be. Probably the story is authentic. INA ST. JOHN. AT A DANCE Dear Miss St. John: This, maybe, is a silly question, but please answer. Is it all right for a fellow to cut in on a guy that took his girl that way in the same dance? SANDY. Answer: No, Sandy, the first young man must not cut back. No question is silly that concerns young people.» INA ST. JOHN.
