Some 17-year- ad- be- me. My father is a colonel and my older brother is a captain. My boy friend is stationed at Great Lakes and, of course, I am dying to see him, but I wouldn't dream of going out there, even for a weekend, let alone renting an apartment for a month. i Service men do get leaves and any girl who can't wait un- olds are very mature and they/tj] her boy friend- comes home know exactly what they want out of life, : I am 17, also, and if my boy friend gets drafted I have every intention of going wherever he ig stationed, even if it means dropping out of school to do it. After all, there's a war on, in case you' haven't heard, and and every day is precious to young people in love. I can al- ways go back to school, but if Jerry gets shipped overseas I may never see him again. Dried up old prunes like you ought to mind your own busi- ness. If a boy is old enough to fight, and maybe die, for his country he is old enough to do whatever his heart dictates and) it's rotten of yew to spoil things for him. -- Fed Up On Your Crummy Advice Dear Fed: I'm sure there is nothing this dried up old prune could say that would make a dent--so I won't try. I do hope - « you will read the next letter, I Lowever. It was written by another 17-year-old girl. . Dear Ann Landers: I read . with interest the letter from the mother who was upset because * she had not heard from her teen-age soldier son for three weeks, When the mother called had better "readjust her speed- ometer" to borrow a phrase from Ann Landers,--Able to Wait Dear Able: You are also able to express yourself in crisp, forthright language. Thank you very much, Dear Ann Landers: My hus- band and I are in our 70s but we still enjoy life as much as even more. Of course, we do the old style dances, the same ones we have |done for a good many years | Last Saturday we attended a | wedding reception and the mu+ sic was wonderful. Orville and I did enjoy the dancing so much, At the buffet table I overheard some folks talking-- they didn't realize I was stand- ing behind them. Both women were criticizing' us, They said |we were old fools, that we looked ridiculous out there on the dance floor, trying to act like a spring chicken and a young rooster. I was very hurt and have been thinking about it ever since. What are your ideas?-- 'his girl to find out if she had| Bay City Heartache received a letter, she learned} ' that his girl had rented an apartment near the base for a month so she could be near her » boy friend. I liked your advice, Dear Heart: Ignore the petty remarks. I'll bet those women are green with envy because you and your husband have more pep than they have. I but I'l) bet you'll get a lot of letters from girls who didn't. » Y've been brought up around the military all my life. know of few things as heart- warmong as the sight of older folks getting a big charge out of life. CHILD GUIDANCE Teachers Get Children Talking Freely Of Own By GARRY C. MYERS, PhD We have been reading and hearing much about efforts by teachers of children in dis- advantaged areas, how timid they are about talking and how limited their apeech; how mea- ' gre, moreover, their expe- \ riences are. ' Recently we discussed the * way of good.teachers of most m in the primary grades Experiences In the future all the children may learn to keep themselves from laughing or doing any- thing else while another child is talking, which might make him feel uncomfortable. Some young children like to sister getting very angry or fly- ing into a tantrum (rage). He may tell about times when he himself. was very angry, and ! to enrich their experiences sojow he felt and acted then; * they have more to talk about. Clearly this effort is very desir- able with children in disadvan- taged areas. 'e noted that young school children often are taken to such places as an airport, bus sta- tion, farm or food stores, These children on their return to school talk about what they saw and heard. We observed that their teacher in the early grades writes or prints on the black- board some of the children's statements of what they saw also of what other persons must have thought about him then. What we are trying to get at is that many a shy and timid young child may want to talk in class if he can tell about some of his feelings. See the opportunities in these directions to help children as they begin to write, and have more to write about, and to write more ea- gerly and interestingly. PARENTS' QUESTIONS Q. Should twins be treated as and heard. Thus these children|alf a team? begin to read meaningful words, phrases and sentences. We also said we wished more teachers of these young children would cause them to talk about every-day experiences at home, and when they are able to write, to write about them, Today I want to discuss with you another item--causing the young schoolchild to tell of some of his feelings connected with the experiences he relates. How A. No; from the time they are born, consider each as an in- dividual, Betsy Holland Genman advises this in Twins: Twice the Trouble, Twice the Fun (Lippin- cott), as reported in Today's Child for February.

When he saw the animals at the farm? Did any of them frighten him? Were other chil- dren frightened by any of these farm animals? Any child in the primary » grades may want to tell of a time when his baby brother or sister was terribly frightened, what was done to help him get over his freight. Some other child may want to tell of differ- ent things his baby brother or sister was afraid of and how he helped this baby to fear these things no longer. MAY START TALKS we did 40 years ago.

There's chance of a new busi- ness opportunity, unexpected visitors from afar, perhaps an invitation to an unusually stim- ulating social function. In any event, your surprises should be exciting ones. FOR THE BIRTHDAY 1966, you should make fine progress where occupational matters are concerned. In financial affairs, however, ex- cept for some minor gains pos- sible during the coming week, do not expect too much until 1967,. The current year should be one in which all Leoites should plan expansion on the fiscal score, but not to take steps immediately, Your plan- ning should cover a period of two years, with September and October ideal months in which to map out a feasible program.

And there's also no doubt about the fact that a house with a place to grow things is a joy and that gardening can be a source of satisfaction and bene- fit that will repay the effort that goes into it. The wise gardener goes slow in his purchases. He knows that unless he is carefull a lot of money will be wasted on equip- ment. It's not unheard of, for instance, to have home-grown roses that cost $25 a dozen! _ The best way to keep garden- ing costs down is to buy only the tools that are essential and of the best quality, and to give them good care between use. It is wise to keep in mind that it's not the initial cost of the tool that is the decisive factor, but how many years it can be used. You need only buy a good garden implement once, but a cheaper tool will have to be replaced several times. To insure the best-selection, buy only the products of a re- putable manufacturer. Then you! © have the assurance that the steel| used in each tool has been se- lected for strength, durability and ease of handling. added responsibilities), the end of December, next February and May. Stars promise crea- tive workers fine periods of accomplishment in December, January, March, May and June. In your personal life, plane- tary influences will be generally good throughout the year, with especially fine cycles on the domestic front indicated in Oc- tober, mid-November, next Feb- ruary and June. Best periods for romance: The latter half of December, February, May and June; for travel: The last two weeks in October, late Decem- ber, January, April and June. A child born on this day will be endowed with a natural gift of leadership; would make an excellent executive; could also succeed as a trial lawyer or in the field of dramatics. Good mower blades, for ex- ample, should be made of high carbon or alloy steel so they are rugged, will not chip and will retain a keen edge. SHARPLY EDGED Steel digging tools should have sharp, thin cutting edges to make piercing firm soil easy. Rakes should have tought steel tines and cuttting tools should have hard edge-retaining steels. Sprinklers made of galvanized steel give more corrosion resis- tance and thus can be expect- ed to last longer. And tools made of high- strength steels are lightweight enough to be easily manipulat- ed, making things easier for the distaff gardener. A good basic set of garden tools includes: a rake, hoe, spading fork, shovel or spade, trowel, shears, sprayer, water can, sprinkler, wheelbarrow and lawn mower. Each of. these is available in a variety of sizes and styles. Buy only the basic item, and if you have a continuing need for it, then get the variations. Let your tool collection grow from year to year, and that hl costly mistakes are avoid- | Once you've purchased good| tools, give them tender, loving care, Don't forget, the cutting edges can become dull from an accumulation of dirt. Don't leave tools outdoors overnight. Store your garden tools in one place for convenience. If you don't have an empty corner in your garage, then an outdoor steel storage shed in a color to complement your house is an excellent idea. Know Your Zenith Dealer...
