The Council reports on prob lems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors. (Copyright 19H1 General Features Corp.) Edna B. - Just because 1 don't date, my parents make me feel like a failure. Mrs. D. B. - A girl of 14 should show some interest in boy friends, we believe. Edna B. - What's wrong with preferring to spend my week ends and spare time with my family or my girl friends, or even curling up with a good book or a stack of magazines, alone? My par ents, especially my mother, make me feel there's some thing the matter with me for not going to girl-boy parties, going around with boys, or -what some of my classmates do - running after boys. The truth is I'm friendly with both boys and girls in school. Out of the school, the boys my age aren't dating much. They join teams and go places together. Besides, I can't see dancing with them or playing kissing games. They're not the type. Maybe later when I'm 18 or 19 I'll go out with boys. And maybe they'll be the intellec tual type, so I won't have to bother with bop and Fabian and rock-n'-roll. Court May Review Racial Sit-ins Washington - (UPI) - The Su preme court is expected to take another look soon at ra cial sit-in demonstrations de spite its rejection of an appeal by student demonstrators in Tallahassee, Fla. Three more appeals from Baton Rouge, La., are on the court's docket and may be acted on March 20. Appeals from other states also are on the way to the high court. Eventually, the court seem ed bound to establish legal guidelines for handling the widespread Negro and white demonstrations at privately operated lunch counters in the South. The court Monday without comment denied review to a group of Negro students and to a white group. Mrs. D. B. - I'm certainly grateful that Edna does so well at school, keeps up with her piano practicing, and holds on to a few nice friends. What worries her father and me is a rather snobbish, uppy attitude toward boys, and even girls who invite her to boy-girl parties. At this early age she acts like a man-hater. Of course she's a generally friendly person and loves her father and me and young brother devotedly. But we and her classmates are no sub stitute for the social life every young girl should prepare for. Edna shies away from the opposite sex when it's a mat ter of meeting them socially, or in any situation that doesn't involve books and study. If I could only get her to dress up and attend a party, I think she'd change. The Council: Edna sounds like a remarkable girl and, since they say certain good traits skip a generation, prob ably takes after her grand pa r e n t s for commonsense! What's the rush, Mrs. B.? This mother talks as though she had a recluse of 40 on her hands, instead of a perfectly normal adolescent of 14. How refreshing to meet a teen-ager who's not yet in the three-deep crowds at the mas cara counter. Not yet for her the contest to be the "hottest" number at the dance. Edna is standing pat on her right to be young and savor the simple things around her. Time enough for sophistication and perhaps, disillusion. In an enlightened turn about, Mrs. B. can become a cheerleader rather than a needle in Edna's side, during this difficult (and courageous) holdout. How about inviting Edna to round up a few non dating girls for a pajama-par-ty, pillow fights and all, with cots and sleeping-bags for overnight a c commodations? Or insuring her fun-times via picnics and trips to TV shows? For Edna is not yet at the point - emotionally - where she cares about (or is comfort able with) the opposite sex as social delights. Trying to hurry her in what should be a natural awakening is like telU ing her to do a week's eating at one meal. r I 'V. . 4 nr " 1 . of v j. hi -. sksMsat- .. PURCHASED SLAVE-Mrs. Catherine Washington, 100 years old, shows a photo of a slave she purchased for $1.50 when she and her husband were missionaries in Ethiopia. Mrs. Washington, born 42 days before the Civil War began, sent their newly purchased slave girl to Mrs. Washington's home in Baltimore. The girl later attended a Memphis, Tenn., college and is now living in the south. According to Mrs. Washington, the former slave is now about 70 years old. (UPI Telephoto) OF SMITH & MEN Bv Jack Smith tc) I960 Times-Mirror Syndicate I'm encouraged, as would- be novelists must be every where, by the long-postponed interest in "Bartholf Street," a novel written 15 years ago. Its author, a J. Edward Day, is said to have paid $1,000 to have it published, after exhausting other ave nues of breaking into print. "Bartholf Street" fell im mediately into a deep sleep from which it did not emerge until its author was appoint ed Postmaster General of the United State by President Kennedy.

Everybody seems to think it would be amusing to read a novel about an in tellectual belly dancer and a Viennese doctor with a yen for his wife's sister by the Postmaster General of the United States. If this can happen to Mr. Day it can happen to any body. If I ever happen to get ap pointed Postmaster General the literary world is in for a shock. I wrote a novel 15 years ago called "Squid Alley, which is not the name of real street but an imaginary avenue down which the cap ital ships of the U. S. Navy used to steam in pursuit of the inscrutable enemy during World War II. It's called "Squid Alley" because one time my hero, Vice Admiral Prometheus Barley, fell off the bridge of an aircraft carrier and was carried off to a paradisical isle by a giant squid. That may seem pretty far fetched, but a lot of incredible things happened in that war, including the might a sergeant-major of my acquaint ance was arrested by an over eager shore patrolman half way up a ladder leading to the Navy nurses' private quarters at Pearl Harbor. What right the shore patrol man had to be halfway up that ladder I don't know. In any case, the sergeant-major was kept in the brig all the way to Iwo Jima, where he was let out. He distinguished himself at once by stopping a mortar fragment with his rear end, which otherwise might have hit another man. In any case, Vice Adm. Bar ley's aircraft carrier slips through "Squid Alley" un scathed, except for the loss of the Admiral himself, and a park is almost named after him in Los Angeles, but not quite. Meanwhile Barley is nursed back to health by a Viennese femme do nult who has es caped from war-torn Europe in a Mcsserschmldt she has charmed out of Hermann Goering in a deceitful inter lude, which is limned In by a flashback. It all ends In Tibet, where the Admiral becomes a high lama. He also captures an Abominable Snowman and becomes the first human be ing to climb Mt. Everest. That part of it, of course, has not been borne out by history. I'll probaby have to rewrite the whole thing. If so, I'll put in a belly dancer. There are many other in teresting turns of event, but it's not fair to divulge too much to the reader. My problem now Is how to become Postmaster General. I suppose I'll have to start out as a mailman. Subscribers To report Improper or non delivery of the Mull Tribune in Medfnrd and Aahland, phone SP 2-6141 before 6 45 pm. daily and 10.30 m. Sunday.
