Gunman Fires | On Players In Muncie

By IRVING LEIBOWITZ | mes Staff W.

riter MUNCIE, “Bef. ““13—This| city, with a nationwide repu-| tation as the typical Amer-| ican town, was shocked to its] core today as wide open Se bling erupted into a shooting war, killing two citizens and leav-| ing four wounded. The shooting took place early! this morning in a Walnut St.| poker establishment and cigar] store when one man opened fire! on a group of poker players as the cigar store manager grappled with the gunman’s companion. | Theodore W. Raines, 45, was found dying beneath a pool table and Dewey Willis, 52, was killed instantly by a bullet through the; head as the gunman backed out| the door, gun blazing. { Shot By Pal The gunman’s- companion, George Gratzer, 27, of Bedford! was found in the getaway car six blocks from the scene with a gun-| shot wound in the stomach, He had been, shot by his own com-| panion while store manager Ralph Frazier, 40, was wrestling with him. Two other customers of the establishment, Glenn Castile and| Thomas Cook, were wounded. Mr. Castile was shot through the thigh and Mr. Cook’s wrist was shattered by a bullet. < Origin of the shooting was no clear this morning. Muncie police first said the gunman and his companion, Gratzer, were| bandits trying to hold up the group of men playing poker, | A later statement from police indicated that Gratzer and his unidentified buddy, who left him wounded and kept on running, might have been in the game, too. Seek Local Police Aid The automobile in which Gratzer was found wounded was traced to Donald Dalton, 25, also of Bedford. Muncie police asked Indianapolis and Indiana state police to aid in finding him. Dalton, according to Muncie detectives, was sought for questioning in a Bedford shooting. Detective Chief Mervyn Collins instituted a widespread search for the trigger man, believed to have also been wounded. Police theorized that he had deserted Gratzer and the getaway car because he was hurt and could not drive, “They're just punks, hoodlums cruising around hunting holdup]

Teen-Ager Advised to Date Boy Friends

By MRS. MANNERS LIKE ALL teen-agers, “Miss P. W.” lived for the day when she could have real-for-sure dates. She dreamed of party dresses, phone calls and popularity. The day came when her parents agreed she could start dating. Now “Miss P, W.” has the phone calls and party dresses-—she’s very popular. But dating isn’t nearly so much fun as she expected. It's complicated. “What shall a girl do?” she asks me. “How can a girl find a nice boy and feel safe around him? “What should a girl do when she goes out with a boy? She has to sit there during the date and try to see what kind of a boy he really is before she has any peace of mind. She doesn’t know whether she should trust him or not. By

the time she finds out whether to trust him, the date is over. She has had an evening of worry. She still has to worry whether she'll get home safely or not.” “I shall be very grateful to you and your readers for suggestions. I hope you can solve this problem of a lot of girls like me.” : » ~ ” ALL RIGHT, “Miss P. W.” Here goes: Have you accepted dates mainly because you

looks. dogh

With Ideals, Interests Like Her Own

You can find the right boy friends if you look for the right mutual interests and right

family backgrounds.

You can find the right boy friends’ in families and in youth groups having the approval of

your community.

Find boys with interests out of the area of petting. Look for companions—boys with ideals and ideas similar to yours. If a boy is interested only in petting he wouldn't be a good marriage partner. Give up the boys you like but don’t ap-

prove.

A healthy boy has healthy ideas. But he has healthy ideas outside of petting. You can show him that you like him and prove you enjoy his company by absorbing and promoting some of

those other interests.

If he talks basketball or football, don’t fidget.

~ Learn to talk intelligently.

» s ”

TRUSTING HIM completely would be foolish, but you can bring out his best by making him

think you trust and admire him.

Keep mutual interests alive and develop new ones—interests that require double-dating and

oodles of parties.

Check yourself. Be sure he knows what you want, Maybe you're flirting boisterously, laughing at vulgarity, overdoing your make-up, palling around with girls of questionable reputation, ap«

pearing too anxious to win a boy.

A boy who really likes you doesn’t want yo

to be common, or appear common.

Get your parents to help. Have parties at home. Show your guests that your parents are “good fellows.” The boy who has to face mother and dad—a friendly mother and dad-—is more apt to take good care of you than the boy who asks you to sneak out and meet him, Most of all, be honest with yourself. If you like a boy, find out about his family and friends

before you get interested.

If he adds up, include him at parties. If he has good training and good intentions he'll go

on properly from there...

He'll come into your house em every date and he'll know how to act from: the time he

arrives until the time he leaves you at the front
