I: THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Clinton. S. C.. Thursday, November 17, 196f» DEAR SALLY. By SALLY SHAW DEAR SALLY: I’m a g-r. of id, a sophomore in high school, and I have a terri.ic crush on my math teacher. He’s a very good-looking ba chelor, and most of the othei girls in his classes feel the same way I do about him. Of course, 1 realize he’s pret ty old — around 30, I think — hut all the same I can’t help feeling as I do about hn... He is very formal and bus inesslike in the classroom, but several times when I have gone up to his desk after clav to ask some special question on math he has acted as though he took special not. of me. What can 1 do abou. this crush of mine? H 1 Gn PULSE RATE. ' DEAR HIGH PULS' RATE: Nothing . . . except to live through it, as you most certainly will. Yours is a fa miliar kind of “hero worship’’ often experienced by young girls towards their male teachers. Certainly you know thal he’s way off limits for you. So . . . just continue to LIKE him as much as you want to, but for any personal entanglements, stick to your own generation. DEAR SALLY: I’m a young woman about to be married. Both my parents and my fi ance’s parents have announ ced their intentions of giving us rather sizable checks as wedding gifts — which poses my little problem. W’ould it be in good taste for pnc to display these checks on the table with our other wedding gifts at our recption? Some people have told me this is decidely out of the question, while others claim we would be hurting the feelings of our parents if we failed to dis play their gifts. BRIDE-TO- BE. DEAR DRIDE-TO-BE: Dis playing these checks would be in poor taste. It would be all right, however, to tell your friends and relatives that your parents gave you gfits of money . . . omitting, of course the amounts. Mrs. J. C.

But play it even smar ter Start writing other girls as well, and I’m sure you’ll find quite a few who don’t have to be presurred into sending letters to faraway sol diers.

TIMELY TIPS By The County and Home Agents DEAR SALLY: I’m a 20- year-old soldier, deeply in love with an 18-year-old girl in my hometown. When I left home she promised eternal love and regular letters to me. Then during my first ten months away I received ex actly four letters from her, even though I didn't miss a week writing to her. Finally I got mad and decided to re verse things. I didn't write to her for two months. Then came a letter from her, tell ing me how much she missed hearing from me and won dering if I still loved her as much as she still loves me. I decided to play it cool and held off writing — and then I got another letter from her still wondering why no let ters from me and asking if “the flame of my love” has died. Now I don’t know what to do — jump back into line or let well enough alone. PA RADE REST. DEAR PARADE REST: Strikes me you played it quite DEAR SALLY: When one of my buddies recently broke off with the beautiful girl he had been going out with. I asked him if he minded my asking her for a date. When he said no. I began dating her and she and I hit it off wonderfully right from the start. In fact, she tells me she likes me more than any other fellow she’s ever known, and I know I’m nuts about her. But now this buddy of mine keeps telling me that this girl is still crazy about him and that the only reason she’s going with me it to make him jealous, and that even tually she will cdme back to him. I know he’s talking through his hat. Should I tell him off? IRISH. DEAR IRISH: And what would you gain by telling him off? You KNOW how things stand, and time will eventu ally prove how right you are . . . much better than any harsh exchange of words now.
