riters Differ n Opinions on issing Problem
me Throw Bouquets and Some Throw Bricks at ‘Indignant Girl.’
This discussion SO started by “Disappointed” who complained that his girl friend would net kiss him after he had earned the right by spending money on her. “Indignant Girl” replied that a boy should place the girl on a pedestal ‘and not expeet kisses in return for - money spent on a date. *
EAR JANE JORDAN— = I'm proud to say that I side with “Disappointed.” ho is this “Indignant Girl”
who is afraid that love is being put on a monetary basis? ‘After all, this is 1936, not 1890. 1 believe (and pray) that my gizl friend and I are the best of pals, and I did kiss her the first time I had a date with her, (and not just when I said ‘g 0 0 d night”). This girl is a normal, decent American girl and I know she would detest being put on a ped"estal. As for “Miss Reader,” who agrees with “Indignant Girl,” I am afraid her sacred ideas are the same ones grandmother used to ad- ~ here to. Why don’t they snap out of it? This is the Twentieth century, gals! MR. ALABAMA.
BNSWER Peale the attraction between you a 1d your girl was stronger than is usual on a first date. Here's a letter from another
boy.

DEAR JANE JORDAN—T think |
“pdignant Girl” fell off her pedestal on her head. Why should a fellow be expected to buy friendship or company? A kiss in payment does not take near the time and it’s over. But trying to be:a friend just to get a good time, well what kind of a girl is that? As ‘far as love is concerned, I
don’t think there is a girl who !
even thinks about it any more. I know because I'm one fellow who did think so and married. I love my wife more than anything in this world, but after six weeks of married life she left. We are still good friends but I would not believe another girl on a bet, for * they are all looking for suckers. AN INDIGNANT.
ANSWER—What you say is not
true. When your bitterness dies down, you’ll see more clearly. Now for another boy’s letter.
” ” ” DEAR JANE JORDAN—“Indignant Girl's” contribution I read with interest. “Hitch your wagon to a star, marry money and there you are,” appears to be the motto here. 1 come of a poor family which
couldn't afford a pedestal, but the |
indignant one would be surprised at the quality of its women folk.
GERRARD B. DUNKERSHANK.
ANSWER—I am a little bit amazed at this interpretation of “Indignant Girl's” letter. I did not gather that she was looking for money but only objecting to paying for an expensive evening with kisses. Now for some letters
from girls.
DEAR JANE JORDAN—I read your reply to “Disappointed” and I agree with you so much it almost hurts. I've had a few dates with a I don't think there is anything wrong with Kissing a fellow good night but my how this fown talks! When out with another boy T refused to kiss him and he said, “Well, you kissed Blank good“night.” How I wish I hadn't for
young fellow.
every one thinks it is a crime! : UNSIGNED.
/
ANSWER—Never kiss a member
of the Kiss-and-Tell Club. "na * DEAR JANE JORDAN-I think kissing is absolutely ridiculous. Why is a girl compelled to kiss _ every boy she goes with? Some
boys feel offended if the girl
doesn’t kiss. Others respect the girl who doesn’t. DISGUSTED.
DEAR JANE JORDAN—I would: love to throw a big bouquet at you

‘Other Children
Parents Advised to Avoid |
Acknowledgment of Physical Defect.
‘| What would you do; dear moth-
| that the question must be faced.
There are a legion of mothers in the world silently working out their problems, but of whom we hear little. One such mother has put her experience on paper and told of bravely meeting the crisis.
Atly one who has read “My Son— |
Handicapped?”, recently published, must have been eply moved. This grand boy, sturdy and strong, was a victim of infantile paralysis. What his parents did to remove him from the realm of self-pity and discouragement, and enable him fo build a self-confident life and a happy one, is the most commend-~ able account of its kind I have ever read. Sh Difference Never Admitted
They had to make a decision, when they knew he would live, but live with a shriveled leg that would never develop. It was excruciating for them, but they treated him as though he were like When he recovered enough to take his place in the world, and was otherwise husky and well, he was even punished. Anything, to break up the sheath of “Gifference” that could form so easily and dangerously to surround
his spirit. His life went on as any |
other. boy's. He found his place and made the most of it, as though nothing was wrong. This, to me, is the crux of dealing with the undermanned child. For any reason whatsoever. By no word of his parents or any one else, should the fact of his difference ever be emphasized by too unusual treatment. : They did not cry out against
| the ' immutability of fate and let
it ruin them or the child. Courage? That is the word for it. I quote this brief survey to -encourage other parents who have succumbed to grief because of defect or physical weakness in «a child. Whatever the cause, all such parents are confronting the hardest battle man has been called upon to wage. They need all the help and co-operation from others that it is humanly possible to give. But “pity” is not what they want. They need encouragement to keep up their courage, and their courage goes into the child. And they want our attitude to their child to be right. ; ? Record Runner Was Cripple
Never say ‘you poor little thing” to a lame child, or make too obvious concessions, however kindly meant, to his infirmity. The chances are that he will eventually be quite
'|a person, with usual pride in do-
and the confidence of any normal child, if he is not forever reminded that he has a handicap. Don’t pull a long face when he approaches. ' And don’t be too artificially sweet. He will know. Talk to him as though he were going right out and win the race. And why not? One running record is held by a boy with a very Jame leg. He practised until he could get over the ground faster than the next fellow, although it took several years. . : Only sensible sym thy should shape our actions. The world should give a hand-up to ‘parents of handicapped children in every way it can, both morally and spirjtually. And economically. (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service.’ Inc.)

Pudding Good
For Appetite
First Class Vegetables Should Be Selected For Preparation.
By NEA Service . Ever try a sweet potato pudding
lwhen the family appetite acted a
little bored? Use either 2 large cans of sweets, or 10 medium cooked potatoes. It's a simple dish—but a rich invention. 2 ; Peel the boiled potatoes, or drain the canned ones. Then butter a baking dish liberally. Place a few slices of potato on the bottom, dust with brown sugar and dot with’
{ butter. Repeat these layers of sweet | potatoes, brown sugar and lots of
butter. To finish off with a royal gesture, stick the prongs of a fork down through the pudding making many little channels to the bottom. Over the top pour about 3 tablespoons rich milk or cream. It will seep down and down and add a smooth grace to your dish. Dot the top with butter and place in moderately hot oven. Cook for one hour. The butter will melt and go places with that brown sugar and in the end you will have such a fluffly mass of hot sweetness that no southern fried chicken could resist.
Select Good Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are good when they are smooth, well shaped, firm and of bright appearance. Get potatoes that are uniformly well shaped. Oddly shaped ones will cause waste and also offer cracks which invite decay. One decay spot can spoil the entire potato. It may show as a soft wet spot, or else the potato may be discolored, shriveled or have sunken spots. Those are signs of decay; so also are any dark greenish spots. Remember this little nutrition fact: sweet. potatoes belong in the yellow-orange food class and as such are an excellent source of vitamin A and have a fair amount of iron. In baking a sweet potato, allow less time for it to become soft than you would for a white baked potato, Scrub the .skins until they shine and bake in moderately hot oven, They adore brown gravy.
