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.

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.

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.

VISITS HOSPITAL - G. Mennen Williams, temlty ward of the Congolese Jesuit Uni
Assistant Secretary of Stale for African versity hospital located just outside Leo

Now it's regarded as a col
lector's item. 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.
