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.

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.

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

DEAR PARADE REST:

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.
Free Pine Seedlings—The
West Virginia Pulp and Pa
per Company is offering as
many as 10.000 free >pine
seedlings to any forest land-
owner who was damaged by
the severe forest fires. Seed
ling application blanks may
be obtained by contacting the
nearest company woodyard
manager.
To Remove Ink Spots and
Glue—Keep a small bottle of
nail polish remover and some
cotton balls i nthe kitchen.
It is excellent for removing
inked price marks either
from a part that sikept in
view or from a counter-top
where an unwanted ink mark
has been left by a package.
Polish remover will also re
move that gummy glue used
for labels on new household
equipment.
Pimiento Peppers — We
have been contacted by the
Pomona Products Company
of Griffin. Ga.. to see if our
area is interested in produc
ing pimento peppers. Several
counties in th« Piedmont are
included We are asking
farmers to call the office and
let us know if they are inter
ested in growing peppers in
1967.
Broken Glass—A safe, easy
way to gather up small piec
es of broken glass is to pat
them up with dampened ab
sorbent cotton.
A Note to Knitters—If you
take a cork and place it on
the pointed ends of your knit
ting needles, when you lay
your knitting aside, there
will be no dropped stitches
to worry about.
Mulching—Leaves and lit
ter now- being raked up
should be put in a compost
pile at the end of your garden
or some other suitable place.
This material can be used as
a mulch next summer. If the
leaves are piled up and kept
moist, they will begin to de
teriorate. Throwing an occas
ional handful of balanced
fei* '^zer over the leaves as
they are piled up, will speed
up thep rocess.
How Can I?
Q. What can I do when the
wax polish on my furniture
begins to take on a streaky
appearance?
A. Very likely it’s time to
remove that old wax which
has become mixed with dirt
and has collected on the sur
face. Mild soap and luke
warm water will usually do
the job. but don’t let the soap
remain on the furniture any
length of time. Be sure also
to polish or rewax the furni
ture immediately a.'er wash
ing it.
Q. What caul do if some oil
from my sewing machine has
spotted the fabric on which 1

A. Coat the spot liberally at
once with talcum powder, let
this stand for 15 to 20 min
utes, then brush. Repeat, the
routine, if necessary.
Q. How can I re-whitrti dis
colored handkerchiefs?
A. By immersing them in
cold water to which you've
added a pinch of cream of
tartar.

A. Try rubbing the surface
of the hat gently with steel

clothing in general, are con
tained in my new paperback
book.

our rooms has lost its gr p on
one spot and formed an un
sightly bulge on the wall.

thinned to a creamv consis
tency. Smooth the whole
thing out with a stiff brush,
and the appearance of your
wall should be improved. I

LAWN CARE — We notice
that a lot of fescue is being
sown (or lawns. Fescue
should be sown thick to make
a Pretty sod. It requires rath
er intense care. It should not
be clipped too close, and it
Should be fertilized regular
ly, but not too heavily at any

sown with the fescue, will
reduce the stand of fescue
and do permanent damage.
Filing the File—In order
to get your money’s worth
from emery boards, here is
a tip when the edges wear
down. Take your scissors
and trim the emery board off
an eighth of an inch along
the edge. The file can be used
over and over until there is
nothing left. It sharpens your'
scissors, too! . ^
