THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE * PAGE NING SATURDAY, MARSH 17, 1951 Activities Of The Young People Of Oshawa ACTIVITIES By DON HOULDEN THIRD OBHAWA "A" CUBS ht meeting found os osafreated Ww thirty or more busting sii over with energy in order because was lined up with a HWuat." Rd sharp we were all in indee y for inspection. The for the night was clean and not many points were weted which ls very good. Ross lw oizer of the e six led we ie ¢ Howl while Garny Gunn . and Wallet lopsk conducted Flag Break. Weil done beys. Then came the Scavenger Hunt which proved quite satisfactory but little too easy because although the Cubs were given fifteen min- wies most were back within ten and with all the articles they set out to find. That is for the exception of the Red Six. Come on Alan, you had better give your six a nice big pep talk. It seems quite obvious that the blue six must be working * just & wee bit harder than the rest because they were not only tied - with the white six for winning the Scavenger Hunt but their total points for this section proved to be just above the rest. As their re- ward they have decided to take in a hockey game Monday night. A new section has started, so let's see who wins it this time. The Father and Son Banquet is on the fourth of April. We have three meetings before that which really ° fsn't giving us too much time as we have a lot to accomplish by then, so fellas let's all come with the in- tentions of again 'Doing Our Best." See you all next week. Good night and Good Hunting. AKELA. dows, 7 "B" CUB NEWS You'll have to be in perfect condi- - tion for next week's meeting or your * Sixer will really jump on you. It's * the last inspection before we add up the total points in the contest and as you already know the six that wins have a REAL treat in store. At the last meeting Na npuncel ' there were two weeks ®efore final * gotals are made up, but we forgot the Easter holidays, and that will eliminate one meeting. Be on your toes! Grand Howl was led by Lawrence Allen and Ed Russell assisted in Flag Break; we repeated the Cub Prayer in unison. Inspection was s and good deed for the day. It quite evident the cubs scuff up their shoes on the way to each meet- ing--so try to be a little more care- ul. Bagheera led a game, Stalking the Bear, and some of those bears were really cunning. Instead of Instruc- tion Period we had an Observation Test. The Black and Green Sixes both won for achieving an almost perfect score. Good going, fellows! George and Walt led a Reef Knot Relay, and it gave everyone a chance to brush up on their knots. The Black Six proved to be the best group for tying knots. Ronnie Stuart received his Collec- tors Badge, and Don Hodder his 1st Year Service Star. We hope you will keep up the good work boys, and try for more honours in the k. Peis led a Buffalo Hunt through canyons, rivers, and waterfalls -- whew, what a hunt! Grand Howl was led by George Bennet and Ed Russell took Flag Lowering. Keep saving paper boys, we want to help out the Scouts as much as possible. Good hunting, Pack, BAGHEERA. STH OSHAWA "A" PACK Our meeting opened with flag break, Grand Howl and our cub prayers. Bagheera took the cubs on a lion hunt. As none of them had. ever been before, they enjoyed it very much, Raksha took over and led them on another hunt with him.. Akela dispensed with instruction riods this week and she instructed Be cubs in a game of book bal- ancing. Akela and Bagheera are g the cubs one of the jungle dances and we think the cubs will like it once they learn how to do it. Our game time was over so Raksha took the lead in a sing-song. He is teaching the cubs some new songs which will be very useful at camp this summer. After this a few announcements were x oi and some colour patches were given out. The brown six is being awarded a show this week for havi the most cubs out at the last church parade. this week went to the hunting. BAGHEERA. 14TH OSHAWA WOLF CUB PACK Here we are back in the news again. We have really been very active at the 14th the past 2 weeks. This week's meeting we had a large attendance at the Cub Hall which all of the leaders were pleased to see. Akela chose the smartest looking senior Cub for Grand Howl which was Bobby Porayko. You oth- er fellows, take note. After Inspection, we had a candle relay taken by Rikki. ints which are as follows: Red 16, rown 20, Green 18, Grey 20. All of the Sixers were brought into the centre to form the spoles of a game of blocks suggested by Kim. Sorry, we have to end the fun but | instruction is very important and is also good fun. Remember, a point for every test passed. The Leaders were proud to see so many of those First Star Tests marked off the re- cords, Here are the boys to be con- ratulated: Cleanliness, Steve Peter. obby Porayko, Dale Anderson, Tony Chunick, Maurice Wiakett; | Union Jack, Steve Peters; Leap Frog, Maurice Wickett, Steve Peters, Bobby Porayko; Knots, Donaie An- drews; Skipping, Gary Deroches; Bock Balancing, Bobby Porayko. Akela Pieaented Donnie Andrews with his First Star and Paul Porayko with his Collector's and Artist Badges. Congratujations. Good work on" your Homecraft, Eugene, you certainly deserve that Badge. That's all for this week. We knelt one knee and lowered pur heads r Cub Silence and Prayers. Good Hunting, lights out and | Bagheera called out the! FIRST OSHAWA SCOUT NEWS The meeting opened at 7:10 with a prayer and then Mr. McKnight read some announcements. Mr. Smith gave a talk on uniforms. Let's smarten them up, eh fellas. Inspection was taken by Mr, Smith with the wolf patrol again taking it for the fourth consecutive time. Instruction period was next with the following results: Carl Vande- walker, knots, salute, law and prom- ise, Cecil Wright, salute, knots, first ald gadgets and camp bed; David Adams, all of the tenderfoot tests; Martin Payne, knots, salute; Ronald Connell, salute, first aid, camp bed; Murray Halliday, semaphore; Jack Germond, salute; Millan Gdovec, salute; Lawrence Perry, salute; Glenn Hornsby, camp bed; Glen Parks, compass, trees, cooking. Nice going fellas. . A sing-song was next led by Mr. McKnight and Mr. Smith. Some of the songs were: I've been working on the railroad, Clementine, 'Tne band played on. It was kind of flat most of the way through it. The meeting closed at 9:30 with the Lord's Prayer, then the Scouts broke off. NEWS AND VIEWS FROM THIRD Hi Scouts. While you "chickens" are reading this column, there are about twenty- | five "men" at camp enjoying the week-end of scouting. The meeting this week was one of the best we've had in a good many moons, We had two distinguished gentlemen down for the meeting. A big welcome goes to Charlie Ander- son, leader of the 8th Rover Crew who watched the meeting from the back of the room; to Alton Dunk, who has long been ted with about, and if you should hear our chests expanding from time to time, then it's just a little troop spirit overflowing. The "and" is for those who are not under the Seventh ban- ner; preceding the "and" is enough evidence for the boys to use as chest-expanding material. There you have it; so shall it be. A note on the Rover crew; thev are very earnestly working toward the end of a comfortable Den (re- ferred to as the "Roc," or a charge of 5c). Work is progressing very well, and in time, the cold bare walls that once stood, will have a new, 'homey' appearance. They plan to have a hdrd times dance on April 6, which is very interesting to note. Next week there will be more un- GIRL GUIDE ACTIVITIES By DORIS L. COLDRICK '1ST BROWNIE PACK this The meeting week was well attended with two Brownie# being absent. We do hope you will soon be back with us Gayle. After the der the heading of "Seventh Osh Scout News." SNOOPY, 6TH OSHAWA SCOUT NEWS This week's meeting proved to be a good one. S.M. Ross Aselstine was late, so P.L. Noel MacDonald and T.L. Bert Hutcheon led in a review of the work to be known to pass our Fireman Badges next week. The majority of the boys have a good memory, thus all went quite smooth. Our S.M. arrived when the quiz was about over. He called us into the horseshoe. Bert Hutcheon broke the flag and then we were ordered to our patrol corners for the collection of dues and registra- tion money. There are still a few to be handéd in, so bring them next week, Following this we were lined up for inspection and snappy drill. As- bled in a h hoe again, S.M. Ross Aselstine announced to us that Noel MacDonald is from now ony troop patrol leader, therefore in charge of a different patrol each meeting, and on hand if needed to assist in leading the troop. Also, all patrol reports should be handed over to him. This is quite a hand- ful for one fellow so let's all do our best to help him. Seeing that the troop is broken down to 20 Scouts, we have now only three patrols, Bulldogs, Cougars and eavers, Their official leaders: are, Duane Richards for the Bulldogs, Jack Brown for the Cougars and Jack Stredwick for the Beavers. It looks like we're really going to start to roll, doesn't it? A few ceremonles were next on the program. Gary Taylor and Bob Legette, both Coug- ars, received their tenderfoot. Bob has set right to work by passing his lashing already. A trio were award- scouting in Oshawa. Mr. Dunk's story at the campfire was very exciting and I am sure that he will be joyfully welcomed if he should happen to come back for another meeting. The Rattlesnake's skit was very short and none too convincing. Put a little more "oomph'" into it next time eh fellows. The Eye hears that there have been two or three patrol meeting in the last week, Good work fellows, you will surely be the ones who benefit in the competition now in progress. The Wolf patrol had three or four scouts in full uniform at the meet- ing this week. You looked very im- pressive fellows and might open the way for other scouts doing the same, Shorts; it seems are too cool to wear yet. But why not wear your longs over them and remove them at the meeting. Well thats about all for this week. So until next Saturday remember the Eye sees all. Au Revoir, THE EYE 4TH OSHAWA SCOUT TROOP At 7:15 the basketball players in the gym were told to get ready for the opening horseshoe. We met at the church and had a good turnout. Mr. Halloway mentioned that there are several boys who can receive their 1st or 2nd class by the ban- quet if they would get down to work. At least six boys could receive their 1st class. How about it fellows? S.M. Holloway also mentioned that he was going out to Camp Samac and if some fellows would like to pass a few tests while he was out there he would be glad to help them. During the games period we ran a relay race and after that played "steal the apple' in which many a fellow ran into a farmer minus a shotgun, to their luck. Mr, Nicholson came down at 8:00 for he had to work. Mr. Crandell and Mr. Taylor ran a Kim's game but none of the fel- lows could remember 16 out of 24 objects. After patrol corners a game of "Pat and Mike" or 'have your brains (if you have any) smashed in." We then were led in prayer in the closing horseshoe by Mr. Nicholson. Until next week good Scouting. THINE, NOSEY, (and the nose knows). 5th OSHAWA SCOUT NEWS Hi fellas! Well I bet you were wondering where we've been in the scout news. You'll sure hear from us from now on, This Tuesday's meeting was one full of a lot of enthusiasm, although it was not a full house. +] We were glad to see our od | friend, Ron Bryant walk in the door. After some competition games, we began our instruction period which this week was lashing. Our new Scout, Bob Sandford, was invested into cur troop, and we all know that he will make the 5th even better than it is. As you know last Friday was our Father and Son Banquet which was a great success, with the main speaker--Murray Johnson. You fellows don't forget to whip those ropes and have them in by next meeting, and don't forget the Scout Laws and Promise. . BUTTER-BEANS 7TH OSHAWA SCOUT NEWS To be invested means to have a lasting memory. Next to becoming a King's Scout, investiture is the most important event within Scout- ing's career, the difference is that one happens at the first, the other near the end. Ralph Day ' stood alone last Friday to take his prom- {ise and to be officially welcomed into the Troop, thus stepping from | the darkness of the jungle into the | bright field of Scouting. Congratu- | lations Ralph. A | One big future date of importance | to the troop will prove itself on | April 27, when "'Parents Night" or 'Open House" is, to be held. Past years have offered the Mothers and Fathers a typical program of a typ- ical Scout meeting, but this year the leaders are going all-out to spe- cialize with something very territic. We won't describe it now, we'll be very commercial about it and ask you to be there to find out for your- selves. But when a troop sincerely | under construction, | It seems that the number Seven within Oshawa's Scouting boundar- | ies concerns very many people. Two | large Gub Packs, a Scout Troop of | | 65, and a' Rover Crew of about 15, ed their second class badges, Kings. ley Taylor, Cougar, and Ron Hut- cheon and Noel MacDonald, both Bulldogs. This was topped off by Donald Heaslip receiving his first class badge. Good work Don! The meeting came to an end with flag lowering by Gary Taylor. All be on hand next week. HERMES. STH OSHAWA SEA SCOUT NEWS The 8th were almost in heaven last meeting night, what with the grand companionship of our broth- ers, the 15th Scouts, and the com- bined power and beauty of the Al- bert Street United Church choir wafting in from above us. Yes, it's true, the 8th were down at Albert St. Church, as guests of the 15th Troop. Highlight of the evening was the guest speaker, who obliterated all heavenly thoughts with a talk on Firemen, and fires. Mr. E. G. (Eddie) Sinimons, the 8.M. of the 15th was too scared to show up I guess, what with almost 80 Scouts together there, so he took sick leave. Hope you're fit as a fiagle and as tight as a drum soon sir Mr. Harrell and Dave Collins, with the staunch help of P.L. Danny Kocho of the 15th held the lime- light, as A.8.M. Al Dickson of the 15th worked the boys hard in a Stave Shift relay, There Was enough food to_feed the regiment, and by the tine the evening was through, the 15th and 8th regiments had downed all. It is 20 that everyone got home well. The skits were true-blue. The 15th Scouts staggered the 8th boys with a rough-tough gangster thriller, while the 8th boys bounced back with a riper isod behind the Iron Curtain. Sing-song left Skipper Houlden hoarse as a colt (joke) but with spirits running high. Skip Houlden | helped to end the meeting with a] short snappy to-the-point talk on | Friendship with which everyone agrees whole-heartedly. 1 guess the 8th are next on the inviting list, so stand by 15th! 8th boys are reminded that next Thursday the meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. Congratulations to Crait Railton who tucked away his Second Class! P.S.--Thanks 15th for the swell time! AQUARAT NO. 2. 11TH OSHAWA BOY SCOUTS Last Friday the competition got well underway with out SM taking off points here and adding them there--but mostly taking them off, it seemed. After inspection we marked the books and then had two staff games of right-left; Ron Oke won the first, and Jim Connolly the second. Then we were given ine structions about our Spring camp, and after that we had a talk on how to make hike maps and reports. Then we went "merrily" into our Scoutwork. Ed .White reviewed the second class first aid ready for the test, and Grant Stonehouse struggled with the tenderfoot lads. Lloyd and Ron did more work on the Ambu- lance Man's Badge. When this was over, we had a game of slapball to close the meeting. Those who could stayed for an- other game of slapball--and what a game! R-I-P ,.. what was that? Oh, just Crimsgn "Arrow's skin get- ting ripped to shreds by ome of David Reeson's flying tackles. Then Jack Nicholls came in for his brotn- er, Donnie, but Donnie seemed to have disappeared. Oh, there he is . . . coming out "innocently" from behind his hiding place, the mighty Ronsun Oakmeat. We carried on playing for a while, and then re- tired heme. On Saturday the HEagles were out on a hike. CRIMSON ARROW. OSHAWA SCOUT TROOP Honor Ante Gloriam Camping days are here again!

STEWART, Brown Owl. 12TH BROWNIE PACK Our meeting opened in the usual way with 28 girls present. Brown | Owl had a specif] duty to perform this week in dppointing Judith Broadbent Lixer of the Tylwyth Teg Lix and Marilyn Hagerty as the sec- onder and I am sure both these girls will care for the Lix very well. Ball-throwing, skipping, balancing and knots were tried while our ig Golden Hand Brownies helped Lambert, who is our rep of the Brownies to the local asso- ciation. Mrs. Lambert helped with the Tweenies in practising tying their tie and all did very good. The Golden Bar Brownies went for their Safety walk, with Brown Owl and Gloria Glide a Golden Hand Br . Phyllis Bo was bus- ily engaged in helping Judy Ward with her Semaphore. With some practice on it at home you will be ready for your test. All come in 'uniform next week as three Brown- jes "are to be presented with their Golden Bar as they have completed their required tests. Donna Gangami tucked the squeeze in her sleeve until next Tuesday, so don't lose it Donna. 'Taps ciosed the meeting, 80 see you all again next Tuesday and try and come a bit earlier as we have been late in starting lately. 4TH BROWNIE PACK Our meeting opened in the usual way with twenty-five Brownies an- swering the attendance call. Wenow have four tweenies, Darlene Amey, Gail Cook, Trudy Smith and Mary Campbell, who all made a very good job at braiding. Golden Bar Brownles to 8 their skipping test were, Gwen amilton, Virginia Warrington, Carol Virgin, Kay Martin, Harilyn Rychkoski and Mary Bonnetta. The test for cleanliness was pass- ed by Carol Hogel and Jean Bur- leigh. Knots were also passed by Jean and Sandra Gaskell. The Golden Bar Brownies were real busy shining shoes, it would be a good idea for all the Brownies to shine theirs for next meeting. We didn't have any time for games as our time seemed to go so quick- ly, learning dancing. Four Brownies decided to go and try their "Skaters Badge" on Fri- day 16th at the Arena. Meeting closed with the Brownie Prayer. JEAN GASKELL, Brown Owl 10TH BROWNIE PACK A very nice meeting was held, but we certainly missed our Packie and Mrs. Godfrey, also some of the Brownies who are still on the sick list. Being short handed, the girls who hed passed their Golden Hand work, helped to instruct some of the others, while Tawny Owl and Brown Owl, were instructing in other work. During the Pow-wow Brown Owl told a very nice story of the Magic Necklace and it certainly was quiet for awhile. Brownies are making their own place cards for the banquet. Hope next week Brownies are all better, as there is plenty of work to do, Glad to have Carol back again. The meeting came. to a close with the singing of Brownie Taps and the Magic Squeeze was put away this week by Joy Cooper. So long until next week. 3 11TH BROWNIES How very nice it was to have so many Brownies out to the last meet- ing. Only four were absent, and Gayle was the only one of them not well, so perhaps these nasty germs have gone away from Oshawa for a while. Joan again was the "engine" on the Inspection Train, which enjoyed a merry chug around the toadstool. But would you believe it? Not one six won a seal for the uniform scene this week. Immediately following the opening, each Brownie made for herself a shamrock, to be worn in Pow-Wow, in honour of St. Patrick's day on Saturday. Then everyone joined in the new dancing game "Captain Jinks." Before we knew it, the time had crept around to Pow-Wow time, and there was so much to talk about that everyone was very busy. Some of the Golden Bar girls are going after school on Friday to try their skater's test. For next week's Easter celebration we plan to have each bring her lunch to the meeting and we will have our even- ing meal together. Don't forget to have in mind an Easter bunny story up and down between 7:30 and 7:457) After a short get acquainted per- fod everyone joined In & game of Staff Circle. Following-this we had a test game on Laws. "lkky" doesn't know which troop knew them the best. Mr. McConnell of the Fire Depart- ment gave us a talk which was very interesting. "Ikky" thinks it would have been better if he had not used s0 many big w 8.M. Houlden opened a campfire and led us in a couple of songs while the skits were being prepared. The Fifteenth's skit was about a "Thing" in a box. The "Thing" turn- ed out to be a menu for our camp. The Eighth's skit took place in Rus- gja with 3 kittens being * True Red 'Kyssian" until they had their eyes opened. : A few more songs and then food! There was plenty for all and then some. Mr. Houlden had a few remarks and voiced the thanks of the 8th 1:00p for the evening. "Ikky' thinks it was a lot of fun and -nopes the two troops get to- gether again soon apd often, Apparently, the Fox Patrol Box was delayed by P.L.

In Pow- wow we tried on 'Little White Duck" for size and it went very well. A story was heard of a Brownie who often said "I love you' to her mother and father, but we discovered that her feet and hands did not always rdinate with what her lips were saying. I do so very much hope this is not the case with any 12th Brownie. Our meeting closed with Taps. A magic tunnel was then formed and as the girls travelled through it "'Goodnight Brownies" was sung. Looking forward to sééing you all next week. Thank you Mrs. Flath and Marion for your help. MRS. WILSON, Brown Owl. 4TH OSHAWA GUIDE NEWS' The meeting was opened with the Guide Promise. Fees and attendance were taken, and inspection was taken by Miss Winter and Miss Thompson. The tickets for the Mother and Daughter Banquet on April 8, were distributed. Don't for- get your money for them girls! The inspection marks were good, but there was so much talking that each Patrol lost a mark. The marks were: Thrush 9, Swallow 9, Robin 8, Oriole 9, Scarlet Tanager 9, and Canary 9. The three groups in Patrol Cor- ners were, Semaphore, District Knowledge and First Aid. A game of 'Musical Chairs" fol- lowed led by Miss Pierson. In Camp-fire the program for the Banquet was discussed and the meeting was closed with 'Softly Fades the Light of Day" and "Taps. The girls then indulged in a game of "Grab your Rubbers". One girl was left with three rubbers which didn't fit her and another left with only one. I hope you were able to retrieve your rubbers and I think it would be a good idea if you put your name in them so that it won't happen again. ELINORE PIERSON, Lieutenant. 6TH OSHAWA GUIDE NEWS The meeting was opened shortly after seven o'clock. Easter Black, Irene Lang and Linda Leigh broke the flag. Mrs. Fox and Roberta Saunders took the inspection while the girls were still in their patrols. Two patrols (Mistletoe and Blue- bell) had perfect attendance (what happened to the other two patrols.) While the girls were in patrol corners Mrs. Fox took a group for hemming. A game of Saint and Dwarves was enjoyed by all. The girls were divided up into four groups of five. Mrs. Fox gave each group a line. This line was. to be the last line of a skit. After fif- teen minutes of practising, the skits were presented at the campfire. All the girls agreed the last skit was the best (sev. Millman, iderelyn Snowden, Claudia Manning, Irene Lang and Diane Spencer). We had a short sing-song and the meeting was closed by the singing of Taps and the Guide Prayer. It looks like the girls have been putting forth a greater effort lately. Mary Ann Sodden and Joyce Wright passed their health, Carol Weir, Janice Gibbie and Cindy Mc- Viety their knots and Janice Gibbie her square lashing. A number of Guides were chewing gum this week so let's leave it home next week girls. On the whole the meeting wasn't too bad (did I say too bad!) We were a little noisier and rambunc- tious this week. As for Mrs. Fox I think she was glad to see the last of us. Well girls, I guess we will have to be extra good next week to show her we really didn't mean it. RUTH ROBINSON, Patrol Leader. 10TH GUIDES First, I would like to thank Mrs. Langfield for taking charge of the Guide meeting, last week when I was unable to be there, thank you. After captain took roll call drill and the collection of fees, the com- pany marched into horseshoe for an enrollment ceremony. June McEach- ern was enrolled. The company then went to their patrol corners. Helen Phair passed her darning and bed-making for her Second class, We are pleased to welcome Mary Wood into our company. Mary pass- ed her law and promise. We then had a period of skipping. This must be a sign of spring. Meeting. was then closed with Taps and prayer. » PAIRS, McEACHERN, Captain. ------------------ TODAY'S QUOTATION "The day is over when business can ignore its 'publics'--its share- holders, dealers, customers, the public at large.

The girls were reminded of the special evening next Monday, March 19, when they are to be the guests of the W.M.S. of Simcoe Street Church, full uni- form for those who have them, and a white blouse and skirt for the rest. We are to meet at Al- bert Street Church at 7 o'clock and go up with the leaders. So be sure to be on hand and enjoy this spe- cial treat.

Another inventor lived in Brantford, how- ever, and while his invention also is known all over America most people have never even heard his name. Thomas Burnley of Brantford was a craftsman. He was a skilled cabinetmaker, carriage maker and designer. He should be one of the best-known of all Canadians but his greatest invention still travels all over Canada and the United States bearing the name of another man. In 1869 the Prince of Wales, later to become King Edward VII, was making an official visit to Canada. During his Canadian visit the miles to vist all the principal towns and cities, and travel in those days was very slow and very tiring. The Governor General therefore called upon Canadians to design a rail- way coach which could be used for travel by night as well as by day. Thomas Burnley submitted .a model and was given the contract. A group of expert builders and mechanics began work in Brant- ford under Burnley's direction and built the first railway car equipped with beds. Inside and out the car was perfect and the Prince of Wales used it for all his trips throughout Canada and even in the United States. It was one of the sights of the year and attracted al- most as much interest and enthu- siasm as the Prince himself. Unfortunately, Burnley did noth- ing to protect his invention. He | | could, of course, have applied to Ottawa for a patent, which is a certificate that would prevent any- one else from copying his inven- tion for a period of twenty years, But he made no application and so both the name and the profits of his invention went to another man, George Pullman, who worked on the Buffalo and Lake Erie Railroad. Pullman visited Brantford:frequent« ly on business and one day he saw the workmen building the royal car. When he returned to Buffalo he built a sleeping car of his own and called it @ Pullman Car. To- day, no matter where you travel on this continent, whén you sleep in a berth or a room on the train, you must have a Pullman ticket. Pull- manfi the imitator, became world famous; Thomas Burnley, the in- Prince would travel hundreds of | ventor, is the unknown. i, EEE | DET: = -- TIPS FOR TEENS:- When Father Is Adamant How can a girl make the right a chance to be married --if she's choice in a husband -- or even have not allowed to have dates when she's in the late teens? It's a tough problem for this girl and others like er: "This letter is about one of those fathers who don't believe in letting their daughters have dates? I am 19 years old and haven't had fun at all . . . just go to dances and shows with my married and little sisters. I am the 5th girl in my family; several of the others are married. Can you help me?" You are certainly old enough to have dates --and should have be- gun to have them in high school, if you're trustworthy about coming home on time, etc. Sometimes it helps convince parents you've reach- ed dating age if you behave in a grown-up way, helping around the house, taking the responsibility of the care' of your clothes and belong- ings and plan your time wisely. If you see that your father has a chance to meet boys who ask you for dates, perhaps he'll be more willing for you to go out with them. It's time you were hgwing normal boy-and-girl fun, and getting ac- quainted with them in a wholesome way. If you never have dates, how can you ever know what kind of boy you really like best? Explain to your father that you'll never have a chance to be married -- or to make a wise choice in a husband -- unless you begin to have dates now. Be sure to have your date call for you at your home and introduce him to your parents ., . then come home on time, proving you're a big gir now. ; (For help with personal problems, write to Elinor Williams in care of this paper, enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envelope for a reply.)
