FRIDAY. APRIL 27, 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON 14 A Social Events Women s News El Going Steady Said Going Out of Style By GAV PAULEY UPI Women'i Editor New York - Going steady Is on the wane with teenagers. Going steadily goes steadily , On. If you 11 hold on there a minute, we will explain the difference between the two as it has been spelled out to mp by some pretty hep young Gay Pauley ladies. "Going teady," they explained, means you confine your dat ing for the movies, the junior prom, and sodas at the local drug store to one boy - or girl. All other competition is ruled out so long as the young cou ple agrees on the steady plan. "Going steadily" though means dating frcqucnlly-two, three or four time a week, with two, three or four dif ferent fellows - or girls. This currently is "in" with the younger set. The subect of teen agers' social habits came up during the recent America's Junior Miss Pageant in Mobile, Ala., where I was one member of the panel of five Judges who interviewed, separately, the 51 . finalists, all high school seniors. The 51 had been winners among the 18,000 girls enter ing the contest at local and state levels. They said the steady plan Is moving out of favor, not because of parental objec tions, but because of tho growing practicality of the young people. The consensus of the 51: Certainly, there is the advant age of knowing you'll have a date for that important oc casion coming up. But you're also confining yourself. How is one girl or boy to know all the potentials in her or his social group by dating one person?

Former Valley Resident Describes European Trips (Editor's Note: This is the third in a series of letters from Dr. Donald Barnes, a former resident of Phoenix, and son of Mrs. Cornelia Barnes, Phoenix. Doctor Barnes is coordinator of cur riculum for the American Air Force schools in Europe and North Africa.) The family has had many individual and group projects under way since it last report ed to you. Of special pleas ure was a trip to Paris about a month ago. I was request ed to participate in a teach ers' conference involving Air Force schools of Central and Western France. I traveled by car and took the family along. We drove south on the auto bahn to Saarbruckcn and turned west on route N-3 to ward Paris. We passed through Melz, Verdun, Chalon, and Montmirail en route. This happens to be the famous in vasion route for army after army from the east driving toward the fertile land of France. All along we saw statues commemorating famous bat tles and generals of the 19th and 20th centuries , . . and especially those of the War of 1870 when Bismarck's forces pushed through to Paris. It was quite a thrill for me to see signs indicating that it was only a few kilo meters to such places at Etain, Valmy, Reims, Chateau Thierry, and Armentiers. A close family friend, Ira Can field of Medford, Ore., fought in this country during World War I and I vividly recall his description of the country side and the battles. We stayed at the Litre hotel in Paris, a hotel reserved for members of the United States For Dryer A new kit modernizes all hand dryers, fixing them to dry hair in half the time, the manufacturer says.

GLASS STAIN REMOVER 'fvfi 'f tjin dCIVMH hom irtoowi, SPf d.vf, tlf. chrO'f, fO'iff bc's At your HARDWARE and PAINT STORE Armed forces on temporary duty in the Paris area. While I worked on the conference at Dreux, some forty miles away, Betsy and the children spent the day visiting the Eiffel tower, the Arc di Tri- omphe, and in general sight seeing. We then had two days free in which to take in the many sights of Paris. Things were relatively quiet during our stay, al though on the first evening as we were passing through the city to our hotel, we were slowed down to a snail's pace , at one point and had to move slowly between two pair of soldiers with submachine guns at the ready pointing toward one car after another -they were looking for trouble and j gave every appearance of be-1 ing able to handle same! At ! about 6:15 a.m. on Sunday! morning we were preparing to leave the hotel and return to Germany when we heard a i heavy blast in the distance. I We speculated as to whether this could have been the de-! tonation of a plastic bomb, i Later in the day we heard j over the radio that such had i actually taken place in the ' new office of Le Figaro. Sue, our youngest, contin ues her German kindergarten and enjoys it thoroughly. She has a whole roomful of little friends and they all get along beautifully. She Is very happy there and the other youngsters seem to accept her completely, j Much "Guten Tag, Sue-Sue" when she enters and hands are shaken all the way ; around, with all the girls ; curtseying. Sue converses , with them in a wild mixture ; of German and English which j seems to do the job, although i I know not quite how. Billy and Carol are busy with school work, but attend the local German school each Sat urday morning and have made a number of friends through this contact. At times our house seems to be nearly overrun with members of the younger set happily engaging in the ac culturation process. The "per son to person" business one hears about seems to be un der way in this house-albeit at a highly informal level! "0r MAR YOUR APPEARANCE WITH BIFOCAL SHADOW!
