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. See
us for the lowest prices ever.

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.

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.

any of your business. Your son
