THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C., April 30, 1070—6-C
Dear Sally
Quietly, Politely
BY SALLY SHAW
DEAR SALLY: Last night I
took a very lovely girl to a
very exclusive restaurant, and
at the end of the meal I was
handed a check on which I Im
mediately noticed an error in
addition, an overcharge of $3.
Rather than create a scene in
front of my date, however, I
said nothing and paid the bill.
Now I’m having second thoughts
about this, I'm thinking it was
stupid of me to shell out $3
too much on a bill that was al
ready very high. What do you
Say? TAKEN
DEAR TAKEN: You’re
right ... it WAS stupid! With
out creating any scene at all,
you were in perfect right to
call the waiter’s attention to
the error . . . quietly and po
litely.
DEAR SALLY: Will you
please offer some good advice
to a young girl who is exceed
ingly shy and tongue-tied and
never seems to be able to car
ry on a conversation with young
men? Some of the long, silent
periods during the dates I’m
lucky enough to have are plain
torture: SPEECHLESS.
DEAR SPEECHLESS: You
probably don’t have enough in
terests to draw from. Read
more, and take stock of the
subjects you do know which are
endless sources of conversa
tion . . . movies, TV, sports,
community events. Also, a good
conversationalist is a good lis
tener. Draw your dates out with
questions about things you hap
pen to know they are interested
in, and they’ll be certain to say
things which will provoke re
marks from you.
DEAR SALLY: My husband
and I recently moved into a
very nice apartment building.
The °nly thing about our new
setup which annoys us is the
habit of the neighbor across
the hall from us who is always
draping articles of laundry over
the stairway railing to dry.
This is a very unattractive
sight not only to us, but to
any guests who call on us. I’ve
hinted something about this to
the neighbor, but without suc
cess. Is there anything else we
can do? MRS. V.
DEAR MRS. V.: Since the ap
pearance of the corridors is
one of the responsibilities of
the building manager or land
lord, aim your hints in that
direction.
DEAR SALLY: I’m a young
man who has been dating a girl
whom he likes very much, but
who is the possessive type and
who has been spreading rumors
that she and I are inseparable.
I’m not yet ready for anything
permanent, so how do I remove
her clutches without removing
her as well? IN A CORNER.
DEAR CORNER: Try dating
another girl or two and taking
them places where you’U be
seen by other friends. Make
sure she sees you with other
girls, too, if you want her to
get the picture. But keep on
being nice to her and dating
her as always.
NOTE TO LIZA: At 27, you
are more than old enough to
make your own decision about
your own life. Tell your pa
rents firmly of your plans to
marry this man and that you
hope earnestly it will be with
their blessings -- but either
with or without, the marriage
is on.

TIP
One tool that should be in
every home is a plumber’s
plunger — a bell-shaped rub
ber cup mounted on a wood
en handle In the case of a
slopped-up sink drain, place
the open plunger over the
drain opening, with enough
water to cover the edge of
the plunger so it makes a
seal all around Work the
plunger up and down. The
alternate compression and
suction of the plunger will
generally dislodge any ob
struction in the drain
Activities involving Queen
and Talent contests, public re
lations, information, promo
tion, safety, citizenship, youth-
power and other subjects came

ing of the Piedmont District of

retaries held at the Mary Mus
grove Hotel in Clinton last Wed
nesday morning.

German,
Measles
German measles and “reg
ular" measles are running a
race in South Carolina to de
termine which disease can first
reach epidemic proportions ac
cording to the State Board of
Health.
State Health Officer Dr. E.
Kenneth Aycock said most of
the race during April has been
taking place in Richland and An
derson Counties. Forty cases of
German measles and 30 of “re
gular” measles have been re
ported this month by physicians
In Richland County. Anderson
doctors have reported 57 cases
of German measles and 14 of
“regular” measles.
“Actually we are already ex
periencing mild epidemics of
both diseases,” Dr. Aycock
commented.
What can South Carolinians
do to avert major epidemics?
“They can take their children
to their family doctor or coun
ty health department for im
munizations. Only two shots are
needed - one for each disease.”
Although the German measles
vaccine was not licensed until
June, 1969 fourteen S. C. coun
ties have already completed
mass campaigns and others are
planning them.
To date, 303 cases of German
Regular'
Racing
measles have been reported in
the Palmetto State this year.
There were 306 last year.
The total of “regular” or
“red” measles cases reported
so far this year has doubled
that for last year. In 1969, 130
cases and two deaths were re
corded. This year’s total is
272.
