Midiam S. 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.

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.

Feller just as he was about to touch off a home-made

Fidel Castro was speaking in New York's Central Park.
Feller says he was just doing it "for kicks."
