Salem, Oregon, Thursday, May 2, 1957 Pajje 6 Section 1 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL DOROTHY DIX COLUMN Ma Protects Son From Grabby Girls DEAR DOROTHY DIX: For two yean I have been corresponding with soldier, whom I had met briefly before t his induction. At j first his letters were friendly, then they be came warmer and finally he said he knew I was the girl for him. I areswered j that I had high regard for him, but that was all. I sent him cake and cookies and wrote cheerful letters, but left no doubt in his mind that 1 was not serious. As his homecoming drew near, he wrote that he was anxious to see me, but when he returned home I didn't hear a word from him. Being curious, I called him. His mother answered and said I was to quit chasing her son. I have an excellent reputation fend my behavior has never met with criticism before. What Hianged the boy's attitude, and what has his mother got against me? - Lorna DEAR LORNA: Reverse the or der of questions and 1 Ihlnk you'll eome up with an answer. Here, roughly, Is the scenario as I pic ture It. Son comes home, tells Mora about the lovely girl who cheered him up, Mom Is overcome by Jealousy, sees girl as a siren who Is luring her son away, sheds tears, son agrees to give up girl, girl calls, and Mamma lets her position be known. Curtain. End of play and romance. Fortunately, yo u r emotions weren't too Involved. You enjoyed a pleasant correspondence and cheered a lonely boy. So, In the final summing up, you're ahead of the game. You handled the situa tion very well. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Yester day after work I met a girl I know and asked her if she'd like some coffee. We went into a res taurant. While we were having coffee another girl I know came , and we invited her to join us. What I'd like to know is, which girl should 1 have taken home? The first one lives quite a distance away, while the second girl lives on my block. D.A. I , DEAR D.A.: Actually there was no obligation to lake either girl home, since this certainly wasn't a prearranged date. If you were especially attached to one or the other, there would be your clue. Since both were casual, acquain tances, your duty was done when you paid the check. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Three boys like me but I don't care too much for any of them. Ttiey keep asking which one I like best. Should I tell them frankly how I i eel? I'd like to keep them in re serve if possible. Deb DEAR DEB: There's no need to be blunt about It. Instead of say ing you dont like them, say you like them equally and would like to be friends with them all. Send your problem to Dorothy Dix. Or write for her free leaflet D-22, "Don't Be Lonely." In ail cases, be sure to enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope, and send request to her, care of this newspaper.

After waiting more than four years, the Roman Catholic pri mate of Poland is going U re ceive his cardinal's red hat per sonally from Pope Pius XII. Three of those years were spent in confinement in a country mon astery because of his outspoken criticism of the Red government. That the cardinal is finally aDie to leave his duties here illustrates the achievements of the church since a new uommunisi regime came to power in Poland last fall. The 55-year-old churchman was called to the College of Cardinals Jan. 13, 1953, in the midst of the church s blackest year in this pre dominately Catholic country. But the new cardinal refused to attend the 1953 consistory at the Vatican, fearing the Communists might not let him back Into Poland. His last visit to Rome was in April 1951, after he had beei made Arch bishop of Warsaw. I Since last Oct. 28, when the new regime under Communist Party Secretary Wladyslaw Gomulka or dered the cardinal's release, the church has won back the right to teach in schools and work among the sick. Churches are crowded with worshipers, and the cardinal has said the wrongs done the church are being repaired. "The shepherd was lost." the cardinal says of his three-year confinement, "but the flock did not scatter." Cardinal Wyszynski will leave Saturday for Rome, to report to the Vatican. Just before his de parture he will appear before pil- rtnime at ractnnhnwn Ihp Polish Lourdes. At three-day ceremonies beginning there tomorrow hun dreds of thousands of Poles will pray before the "Black Madon na," a mystic portrait of the Virgin and Child to which this country's Catholics attribute mi raculous powers. In sermons to packed congre gations in every diocese, the car dinal has been urging patience and "sacrifice of work" as means to a better earthly life. shop Friday 9:30 'HI 9 p.m CLUBBERS COMPETE MT.
