Dear
Pam:
There's
a very fast girl
in my neighborhood
who gets all the
boys by flirting
with them. I like
one of the boys
who hangs around
her. How can I
get him to pay
some attention
to me? |
|
Heartbroken |
|
Dear
Heartbroken:
If
the boy you like
has any character
he will grow tired
of being rounded
up like cattle.
Cultivate a little
patience and be
ready to corral
the fellow when
he starts to stray. |

Dear
Pam:
Do
you think it is
necessary for
parents to wait
for a 14 year
old daughter to
come home from
a date? Mine do,
and I find it
very embarrassing.
What time do you
think I should
be in on weekends? |

Dear
Not-an-Infant:
Your
parents will undoubtedly
feel secure about
your dating habits
when you have
shown them you
are a responsible
person. You may
find your parents'
waiting for you
embarrassing,
but just imagine
how you'd feel
if they didn't
show they cared.
The
hour at which
you should return
home on weekends
should be determined
by your parents,
and might depend
on what you were
doing on your
date. You might
be allowed to
stay out later
if you are at
a chaperoned dance
than on a movie
date. |

Dear
Pam:
My
father is very
old fashioned.
He doesn't allow
me to dance, or
wear shorts, or
to date. What
can I do to prove
that his attitude
is ruining my
life? |

Uncomfortable |

Dear
Uncomfortable:
Papa
sounds
on the
strict
side,
but at
your age
too much
freedom
rather
than too
little
is what
might
ruin your
life.
Try
to make
your father
see reason
about
these
matters.
If he
doesn't,
console
yourself
with the
knowledge
that very
soon you
will be
on your
own, and
making
up your
own mind
in these
matters. |

I.G.Y.
is science's
greatest
challenge.
Outer
space,
with its
many mysteries,
invites
modern
man to
investigate.
There
is still
much we
have to
learn
about
the moon,
the stars,
and planets.
From
the bottom
of the
ocean
to the
stars
high in
the sky
is the
scope
of man's
laboratory.
Unanswered
questions
face us
on all
sides.
This should
be the
year of
great
discoveries
in science.
The
geophysical
year began
on July
1, 1957
and will
end on
December
31, 1958.
Already
the Russians
have invaded
outspace
twice
with satellites.
Some Americans
may resent
the idea
of the
Russians
beating
us to
outer
space.
But science
should
rejoice. |

The
gum chewing
students
and the
cud chewing
cow,
Though almost
alike are
different
somehow.
The greatest
real difference,
as I see
it now,
Is the thoughtful
look on
the face
of the cow.

I
feel like
the pooch
in Muttnik
Destined
forever
to roam
Through
outer space
At a furious
pace
With never
a message
from home. |
