Hardin New Manager Hardin's Atlantic Station Complete Car Service Come By And See ATLANTIC BY SALLY SHAW DEAR SALLY: I’ve been kept on the brink of matri mony for over three years, but my fiance keeps shying away from the final plunge. We’ve had the marriage license so long the paper has yellowed with age and I’m not even sure it's still good. Also, we have borth taken three blood tests, but everytime at the last min ute he has come up with * an excuse for postponing the nup tials. Now he has suggested that we go for another blood test Do you think I should do this once more? DANGLING. DEAR DANGLING: You can If you wish, but if I were you I’d give my blood to the Blood Bank and find myself a fellow with integrity. DEAR SALLY: I met a beautiful girl at a cocktail party last night. She was seated on a sofa and I sat beside her, we got along famously, and she gave me her phone number. But then later when we both got up from the sofa I was stunned to discover that she is at least two inches taller than my five feet eight inches! She did’t seem to make anything of this and even said, “I'll be seeing you/ when we parted at the end of the party. But I still don't known whether to call her or not...whether she’ll be interested in going out with a guy as short as I am. What do you say? DUBIOUS. DEAR DUBIOUS: She' saw your height before you sat down beside her, and still she gave you her phone number, didn’t she? And now it could be that she’s wondering if you would be interested in going out with a girl as tall as she is. If you are, get on that phone imme diately! DEAR SALLY: Normally my husband is the nicest, kindest, most courteous, most person able man you’d ever want to meet...until he climbs behind the wheel of our car. Then a metamorphois takes place,... he beomces a “My. Hyde.' He rages over every apparent error on the part of other drivers, he swears at them, fumes and frets, and even em barrasses me sometimes by Sis (i rt itk iti S.i\r it’ HUGE 8x10 Color Portrait ONLY 98* * •HANDLING CHAROI LIMIT ONK PIN SUG- JKCT ROUPS tl.W P|R PERSON FAMILY GROUPS A SPECIALITY!

DEAR SHATTERED: Have a little talk with your husband about this, and If he’s as nice, courteous, kind, and person able as you say In other things, he’ll listen to what you have to say about this bad habit of his and how It’s wrecking your nerves. Tell him that, unless he does something about con trolling himself, you’ll be com pelled to stop riding with him,, anywhere. DEAR SALLY: Even though I myself do not smoke, I’m not in the least opposed to other people’s smoking. However, I am opposed to those thought less and inconsiderate people who puff on their fags at crowd ed luncheon counters in such close proximity to their neigh bors and practically asphyxiate others who are trjdng to enjoy their food. What have you to say about this? GASSED. DEAR GASSED: You’ve made a good point, but about the only corrective measure you can take is to avoid eating at crowded luncheon counters. DEAR SALLY: Last Saturday evening as we were preparing to entertain some guests in our home, a couple who are good friends of ours dropped in un expectedly. Before they could seat themselves in our living room, I told them as kindly and regretfully as I could that I was very sorry, but we were ex pecting company. They left immediately, but looked very hurt about it. Now lam wonder ing if perhaps I did the wrong thing. Did I? MRS. G. DEAR MRS. G.: No. people who drop in unexpectedly are taking a chance of running in to situations like this, an<tthey should not resent it This is why it’s always smart to phone in advance of such visits. DEAR SALLY: I’m in misery because of the activities of some loose-tongued person in our community who has started a horribly malicious bit of gos sip about my morals. Now, al though I’m a girl who has always lived good principles, I feel that everyone is looking at me with tongue-in-cheek and uplifted eyebrows. I don’t know who my false accuser is, but she or he has really made me unhappy. Is there anything at all I can do about this? MALIGNED. DEAR MALIGNED: Stop punishing yourself The creator of the false rumor Isn’t worth it, and neighter are any of the people who have listened to it. Your real friends pay no at tention to this kind of talk. So continue to live as you always have, the kind of girl your friends know you to be. H0W CAN IV0TMIN65 WEIL 1WPECT ME TO WHEN W hi FAIL-?

Boycott, Fortnight All About Worts Boycott is usually thought of as applying to any organised effort by a group to force a change in policy on a particu lar firm by refusing to do business until certain demands have been met. But the term can also be used correctly to describe such incidents as a student ban on attending clas ses or the abrupt refusal of one party to meet again at the negotiation table until the other side yields to some dis puted point. All three of these instances fall within the con text of the original meaning of the word. The first boycott, which proved a highly successful one, was staged in the year 1880 by an entire Irish community against Charles Cunningham Boycott, an Englishman who had been hired earlier by the Earl of Erne to manage his estates in the County Mayo. During this century a lot of farmland in Ireland was owned by absentee landlords who hired agents to look after their property. These agents were usually a hardboiled breed who showed little pity for the plight of the poor peasants on the land But if most of these were good in extracting the rent from the tenants, Boycott ex celled. In the year 1879, even with a famine threatening the land, Boycott turned a deaf ear to pleas of the tenants to reduce the rent. Those who could not pay the full amount were evic ted. The Irish community band ed together to fight back, but on the advice of Charles Stew art Parnell, Ireland’s chief Parliamentary spokesman, they eshewed violence, chosing in stead to give Boycott the silent treatment. He was left without any companionship or socia bility, no one spoke to him, his workers deserted, his mail was blocked, his food and other supplies cut off. The story of the agent's troubles and his subsequent de parture from Ireland became front-page news. The case be came so famous that boycott found its way into almost every European language. The word fortnight, which has been in use since the Eng lish language was first written, denotes a space of two weeks in time. It is actually a con traction of two words, “four teen nights.” — Broad St. Plans Study Series An eight-week series of study and fellowship for all age grotgps will begin at Broad St. UAltad Methodist Ctrarcfe oft ; Sunday evening, September 13.
