THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C., August 7, 1969—6-B j Dear Sally j BY SALLY SHAW What do you advise? MAKE BE LIEVE. DEAR SALLY: I’m a girl of 16 and am having a little run-in with my father. A certain boy has asked me to go with him to a big dinner-dance at a country club, and this was all right until my father found out that we are to go with another couple in the other boy’s car. Seems my fa ther has seen this boy driving and thinks he drives much too fast and recklessly, and he doesn’t want me to “risk my life" in that car. So what can I do? Must I give up this won derful dinner-dance just because of my father’s silly notion? DODO. DEAR DODO: Your father’s objection is NOT a “silly no tion." It’s good common sense, stemming from his love for you and his concern for your safety and welfare. Surely there is some other way for you and your boy friend to travel to this dance. DEAR SALLY: I’m a bachelor of 40 and have been going with a very nice woman of 38 who like wise has never been married. We both have been very happy and satisfied with our single status, but since we both feel very much attracted to each other we have been discussing the idea of mak ing a stab at marriage with the idea that if after a year or so we don’t like the setup we can in a perfectly friendly manner dissolve the marriage. Don’t you think this is a level-headed way of handling thing? under our cir cumstances? HAL. DEAR MAKE BELIEVE: Stop the shenanigans and stop thinking it’s a disgrace to be a non-drinker. Simply ask for gin ger ale or any other soft drink in the first place, and you’ll have a much better time at these par ties. DEAR SALLY: A young mar ried woman next door seems sud denly to have contracted a mys terious physical ailment that re quires the attention of a young, good-looking doctor. His car is parked in her driveway two or three times a week and he’s in side her house each time for a very long "consultation." Since she and I are on quite friendly terms, don’t you think I should speak to her about this and warn her that she is leaving herself wide-open for undesirable gos sip? ONLOOKER. DEAR ONLOOKER: Undesir able gossip is started by peo ple like yourself who poke their noses into other people’s busi ness. Instead of keeping such a close watch on your neighbor’s activities, try concentrating more on your own! Eggers To Address Greenwood Mills Supervisory Stcdf Dr. E. T. Eggers, Professor of Management at Georgia State College in Atlanta, will address a luncheon meeting of Greenwood Mills supervisory employes Aug. DEAR HAL: Indeed not! Mar riage is not something one makes ‘a stab” at. It involves a solemn promise by each of the persons concerned to love and cherish each other for a lifetime. . .with no conditions attached. Unless you two can enter marriage with the idea of permanence, forget it! DEAR SALLY: I don’t care for liquor, and can’t handle it either. So, whenever I attend a party where drinks are served and one is put in my hand, I just carry it around pretending to sip it, and then when no one is looking I dump it and fill my glass with ginger ale. So far I haven’t been caught at this, but sooner or later I’m, sure* somsop^wULspotijm, and I’ll tje)terfibij»B»bar.rxss»d. This all makes for big tension whenever I am at one of these social functions. 16.

With melted paraffin and used candles. Pour the wax into milk or cream cartons, or tin cans such as frozen-juice cans, or other containers of various sizes. Let it set, then remove the carton which has acted as a mold, and decorate the candles with drippings of other colored candles, sequins, metallic paper, etc. Apply the decorations with straight pins. : 4 ' t Q. How can I remove stains from plastic dishes? A. If conventional detergents and soaps fall, soak them for 20 minutes or so in a gallon of wa ter that is warm to which a cup of bleach has been added. Wipe with a dishcloth, then wash in the usual manner. You may also try rubbing the stains with dry bak ing soda or with salt. Many other such helpful cleaning hints are included in my new house-hold manual. Q. What is a good way to baste barbecued meat or fowl? A. A splendid basting tool is one you can make yourself. Tie a bit of clean white cloth to along- handled fork or stick-and you have a perfect swab. Q. Is there any way I can pre vent my bathroom mirrors from clouding up when I bathe or shower? A. A light coating of glycerin over the glass will usually keep your mirrors clear. Q. How can I quickly cure chapped hands? A. By rubbing into them, after washing, cornmeal or oatmeal. It absorbs the mixture and tends to heal the cracks in your skin. In the course of a week your hands will be soft and in good condition again. Q. How can I drive a nail into a wall without crumbling the plaster? A. By dipping the nail in hot water or melted paraffin. Or, put crisscross cellophane tape over the spot before hammering the nail in at the intersection of the tape. Q. What is a good way to cool angel or sponge cake baked in a tube pan? A. Place the tube over the neck of an empty soft-drink bottle. This raises the cake high enough to allow the air to cir culate all about it Q. Any tips for the loosening of tight screws or bolts? A. Try placing a few drops of peroxide on them and letting this soak in for a few minutes. + * * Davis, Waldron Complete Camp CHARLESTON - Citadel Cam pers Joe Fuller Davis, son of Mrs. Arthur Copeland, Old Mil- ton Rd., Clinton, and Charles Waldron, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles F.

INTERESTING FACTS By Tom Pbudco Did you know that postage stamps were not used anywhere in the world until 1840. The first country to issue postage stamps was England, and the first stamps showed a portrait of Queen Victoria. The first postage stamps in the U.S. were not issued until 1847. There were just two kinds then —a 5c stamp showing Benjamin Franklin for let ters going less than 300 miles; and a 10c stamp showing George Washington for letters going more than 300 miles. And here’s another interesting fact . . . It’s only six more weeks until the 1970 Chev- rolets c ome out. Present indications are that there will he no major change in style, but that prices will be higher. You’ll be smart to buy a 1969 model NOW while our selection is good. At this time of year the quality of manufacturing is TOPS; so you have nothing to gain by waiting. See us TODAY.
