Steve keeps after me! Mrs. L. S. His mother hould know he'i off his rock er. . Miriam s. I am a 16-year-old girl and I'm in a muddle about what to do about a par ticular boy. Steve is 17 and really very nice. We went steady for about a year, but my parents thought I was tying myself down too young. So we broke off-that is, I broke off. Steve keeps after me all the time, asking me for dates. He says he won't object if I go out with others but that he doesn't care for anyone else, I keep telling Steve that my parents don't want me to see him and I have asked him not to bother me, but he keeps coming around and calling me up. I told him off good and proper a couple of times, but still he keeps after me. My mother wants to call his mother, but I swear I'll never forgive her if she does. Mrs.- L. S. I feel that this has gone too far. It's a moth er's business to know if her boy is making a nuisance of himself. Somebody needs to tell this kid off. I have heard Miriam on the telephone with Steve and I know that she has told him off in no uncertain terms. She was downright insulting. But the following night, there he was again, asking for her as if nothing had happened. I would be willing to let Miriam go out with Steve from time to time-as long as it wasn't on a steady basis. But now I am beginning to think that this kid is a little off his rocker. Somebody ought to tell the parents in a case like this. I'll tell that mother her boy needs a psy chiatrist. The Council Hold your horses Mrs. L. S. Don't go telling other women that their children are mental cases be fore you understand your own. This isn't the first case in which a girl's anger spurred a suitor to more persistant ef forts. Anger is often rightly taken as a sign that the girl feels a bit helpless against her own attraction to the male. But there is no mistaking po lite and cool disinterest. That discourages nearly anyone. Miriam gives herself away completely when she says she told Steve "my parents don't want me to see him." The im plication is, "but I feel differ ently I'm just trying to obey my parents." Now what red blooded American male is go ing to give up because of a couple of parents? The evidence here indicates that Miriam is pushing Steve away with one hand while she retains a firm hold with the other. Probably, she is afraid to be left without this steady beau and feels that she wants to keep him to fall back on if others don't turn up. Most teen-agers are more rebellious than Miriam and would fight the "break it up" decree. This is a better re action because it helps to air out the problem. Miriam shows a rather childish de- pendance on her parents when she accepts their word as law without asserting her own feelings. Miriam should be encour aged to express her attitudes and feelings. This will open the way for a discussion about the importance of her getting to know many different boys so that eventually she'll be better able to make a perma nent choice. Once she under stands and accepts the rea sons for breaking off with Steve, she'll find her own way of getting rid of him with out anger or insults. If Steve persists after get ting a real brush-off from Miriam, it will be time enough to tell his mother that he' is being a nuisance only that and nothing more. (Copyright 1959 General Features Corp.) Mouse Escaped Mowing Machine., World Gone The little field mouse was content in his meadow. It had been a glorious summer. Copi ous rains had accelerated the growth of the clover and oth er grasses, now they towered over his head like a great forest; so thick that even his enemy the hawk could seldom see the network of passages and runways he and his kind had made in and among the stems. Along these paths he knew so well, he and his mate, as well as his numerous chil dren, scampered and played in this Lilliputian forest at the level of the grass roots. He didn't know it but he and his kind occupy a rather unique niche in the world of living things. Next to the shrews, the mice are the smal lest quadrupeds in North America. And of all the fam ily of mice, the Vole or mead ow mouse, is probably the most adaptable. He can ad just himself to just about any environment. Of exceedingly vigorous stock he is usually sleek and well fed under any and all conditions. Short Tail He has a short tail, a blunt head and ears so short they are nearly hidden by the long fur. His thick-set rather chub by body is dust-gray or brownish in color. Like all the mouse family he and his mates are extremely prolific. The morning of the great adventure was warm and sun ny. Darting rays of sunlight flashed tirough the grass cover, dappling with lights and shadows the labyrinth of runways over which the meadow mouse colony played and traveled. Suddenly the mouse felt something on the naked soles of his feet. A faint tremor came through the earth. He froze, his nose twitching. Then along with the ground tingle, came a noise; a crash ing, grinding sound growing rapidly in volume. The mow ing machine, beginning at the far end of the meadow was cutting a wide swath in the clover field. Long before the meadow mouse had his thoughts col lected the mowing machine was close. He was paralyzed with fright. The ground vi brated. His pounding heart shook his entire body. Above him the chattering blades were cutting the grass barely two inches above his quiver ing back. It was the most frightening moment of his life. The machine and the noise passed. The mouse raised his head, blinking his eyes in the unaccustomed brightness of the sun. The grassy cover jiingle that had sheltered him for so long was gone. The labyrinth ' of runways and paths was now exposed. A hawk sailed on stiffened wings over the shorn meadow.
