Spring Is Almost Here “If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?” Those famous lines were written by Shelley long ago, in his “Ckje to the West Wind”. They are found in just about every anthology of poetry, and with good reason. The rigors of Winter bring a .longing for a mild and blossoming season. And Spring is a symbol of renewed life. Every bush, every shrub, every tree, every flower burgeons toward its maturity. It is the most gladsome of all the seasons. And it is more than that. It is a time for the healthiest, most pleasurable of tasks. The grass must be mowed. The

Our Disfranchised Citizens

In 1960, eight million Americans were, in effect, disfranchised. They could not vote for President. That startling point is stressed in a Saturday Evening Post editorial. An American Heritage Foundation study is the authority for the figure. The reason for this is that our election laws have not kept up with modern mobility. Millions of citizens change their state of residence each year, often' for compelling business reasons.* Conditions are vastly different from the old 'days,

their own lives. As a lifesaving measure, individuals should watch their driving habits meticulously, not only to protect themselves, but also other persons on the streets and highways. If it is of national importance to fight cancer deaths by not smoking, it is even more imperative to fight highway deaths by not drinking, because death is just as positive from either cause. But with auto deaths the innocent too often suffer.

LET HIM WRITE HIS OWN

Dear Amy: 1 became acquainted with this boy a few months ago and he seemed real nice. Soon he started calling me his girlfriend which was perfectly fine with me. He told me before that he had another girlfriend somewhere else, but before we started going together, he said he would write to her and tell her what had been happening except he had to wait until he got a letter from her. Well, he got one and let me read it and the girl seemed so nice and sweet from her letter that it didn't seem right for her to have to get a ‘Dear Joan’ letter from a boy, especially him. What can I do to help her? Would it be right for me to write her a letter too? Because if he doesn't write her a letter, she will feel awful "when she sees us together this summer. Feeling Sorry for a Sweet Giri Dear Feeling Sorry: Your heart’s in the right place, but don't intercede en the boy’s behalf. If there is any letterwriting to do, let him do it And if I were you, I wouldn't bet on any long range plans for this summer, or you could “feel awful.” He might just find the grass is greener in someone rise's back yard by then! ■•• • - Dear Amy: In regard to the letter from “Mrs. J. K.” about her will, I do hope she doesn’t wait a minute longer about making one. I have a cousin. She and her husband had no children and made no will. She had worked like a man beside her husband on the farm which wasn’t a rich farm. He died first She was in her late sixties. According to Kentucky law, the farm was sold. The deceased had many nephews and nieces and they came into Ute picture. When it was all over, the widow didn’t get enough to bury hersef (when she dies) and she is now receiving aid from the county. R.B.F. • • • Dear Amy: I have one of the worst problems any teenage girl could possibly have. I am 16 and my mother drinks an awful lot One night she got so drunk that she came home and beat me up. I had to miss school for about a week because
