4, S : ' J! £ . INTERESTING FACTS By Tom Plaxieo Ever wonder what was the biggest thing ever built by man? Answer is the Great Wall of China, which oddly enough, was started long before man had any of the high-jpowered building equipment he has today. The Great Wall, begun in the 3rd century B.C., stretches more than 1,600 miles long, averages about 22 feet in height, and is up to 32 feet thick. Isn’t it strange that the biggest structure ever built in the history of the world was built many centuries ago, and man has not built any bigger structure in modem times! And, here’s another interesting fact . . . Chevrolet trucks come in sizes small, medium, large and king-size. We can sell you a truck to fit just about any need you may have—pleasure, light hauling, local delivery, long distance, etc. We have a good selection of 69’s read for sale today.

His wife, Ann, lives in Annan dale, Va. Dear BY SALLY SHAW _^PEAR SALLY: I’m a fellow of 17 in the doghouse with my girl’s father. A couple of evenings ago she had a baby-sitting job and since it was on a school night I figured she would be home at least by 11:30. So I phoned her home at that time, just to chat and say good night But her father answered the phone and really blew his fuse! He told me that any fellow who would phone a girl at that time of night wasn’t fit to have anything more to do with his daughter -- then he hung up on me. So what do I do now? This is a wonderful girl, and it’s going to tear me to pieces losing out with her this way. OFF LIMITS. DEAR OFF LIMITS: Your girl’s father had a very good point. Your phoning her at 11:30 was way out of line. I suggest that you go to him immediately, admit you were wrong, and tell him how sorry you are. Let him see that you really are a young man of principles, man enough to admit your errors, and maybe he’ll relent. Good luck! DEAR SALLY: I am planning my wedding, and have a little problem in protocol that puzzles me. My parents were divorced about 10 years ago, and although my father still lives in this city I have seen him only about a dozen times all these years and have no feeling of love or re spect tor him. I certainly do not want him giving me away at my wedding, although for the sake of old times and the fact that he is my father, I should like him to be present as a guest. Would this be all right, and would it be all right for me to have a very dear bachelor friend of mine and my mother’s perform the rite of giving me away? OCTOBER BRIDE. Sally and his wife evidently consider their daughter perfectly capable of handling the job, and the par ents who hire her must think the same way. So, rather than being so dubious, I think you should be proud of your grand daughter. DEAR SALLY: Ten months ago I married a widower with a son of 17 who lives with us. He’s a very nice young man and we get along fine, but the thing that bothers me is that my husband and I never seem to go any where without his son’s tagging along -- to a movie, a country club dance, a drive in the coun try, or even on weekend trips. My husband Is a wonderful man, affectionate, devoted to me -- if only he would realize that I would love going out with him some times ALONE, just the two of us. Have you any advice for me? CHAPERONED. DEAR CHAPERONED: How about discussing this with your husband, just as you have writ ten to me? Maybe he’ll feel flattered over the knowledge that you want him alone . . .and will do something about it. * * * CREDITOR’S NOTICE All persons having claims a- gainst the estate of Mayme Little Todd, deceased, are hereby noti fied to file the same duly veri fied, with the undersigned, and those Indebted to said estate will please make payment likewise. Adelaide Little DuPre Executrix 408 Greenville St. Abbeville, S. C. Aug. 28th, 1969 SU-3c-S25 DEAR OCTOBER BRIDE: Yes . . .to both questions. DEAR SALLY: I am very much concerned about my son and his wife, who permit their 13-year- old daughter to take baby-sitting jobs. It’s my idea that a girl of 13 is quite too young for such an important and responsible job as caring for small children while their parents are away. Do you think it would be all right for me to try to reason with my son and daughter-in-law about this, or isn’t it any of my busi ness? GRANNY. DEAR GRANNY: No, it ISN’T any of your business.
