He seems seri ous, but I ciin't find out any thing about him. Mrs. H. F. At her ac she shouldn't waste her time with a mystery man. Gwen F. I'm a woman of 39, unmarried, and em ployed in a supervisory ca pacity by an export company. About six month ao a friend of the boss called at the office. After spcndinR some lime talking bu'ainosR, he lingered at my desk tony, tmouKh to say he'd be back and, next trip, would invite me out for dinner. Well, there have been doz ens of dinners since then and some wonderful evenings of theater and dancing. Al is 45 and has led me to feel his in tentions are serious and sin cere towards me. The trouble is I know very little about him, not even his home ad dress. He xave me his tele phone number. When a wo man answers, he says it's his sister. 1 a?ked to meet her. You will." he said, "when the time comes." Naturally I'm torn with in decision. My mother wants me to drop him. Mr. H. F. When the time comes," that fellow told her, "that's when I'll intro duce you lo my family." How much more time does tlwen have? She'll be 40 soon and she's letting Al waste her pre cious evenings and week ends. 1 want her lo ask him during the very next date. "When will the time conic'.'" And if he docMi'l give m-r a straight answer, she'll know he's hid ing something. That some thing Is probably a wife. As Owen's mother, 1 buried my pride and spoke to her boss. Me laughed at my doubts said not lo worry, Al's a luce fellow and so on That's no answer. I'm m ore worried than ever for her. We still don't know whether lie' mar ried, divorced, lioncM or re spectable. Our own lite, and C.wen's past is an open book. He knows all about her Hut all she can wangle out of linn is his name, age and his sis ter's phone number. It's fishy and Ciwen should vah her hands of him Th Council: W h e I h e r Gwen is wasting her time de pends upon whether she looks upon Al as a pleasant date or as her future husand. As the former he seems to tie filling the hill admirably. 1 1 is leli cence implies that this is his stopping-off point. He's not planning to go the full stretch. So If il a wedding ring (iwen Is alter, she may well be on the wrong merry-go-round. Her mother is right in urging Gwen to find out whether the past six months air Prelude or Pastime. At Gwen is probably a most attractive companion poised, chipper and bright flut as time patters along, there come those morning perks in the mirror which made one port. Hubert G. Pecjk Jr , jay So many hrigG'i rl left ' O o o lo climb So much to do and see I'd better not be wasting Time, For Time is wasting me! So our advice to Gwen is lo "call time" on this I've-Got-A-Sccrct performance and in sist upon a few clear answers, more than yes and no. Where does Al live? Where does he come from? Where did he go lo school? What's his war rec ord? How does he make his living? lias he any friends lie sides Hie bos-s? lliis he any rel atives besides his "sister"? No man of 45 has lived in a hermetically sealed vacuum. He certainly has a past, as well as a present. And just to be prepared in case Al pop. the question, Gwen has a right to check up on some of his answers. If she can't do so In the open, she might a? well do some sleuthing (or have Mrs. F. do it) on her own. It's quite pos sible that a building superin tendent, for example, would know whether the telephone answering sister is a sister. There are agencies which can report on Al's credit rating. School records may be con sulted to corroborate his claims. Former employers. friends and customers may he j buttonholed to testify infor mally as lo whether Al is n man of good faith. I The mystery of Al can he j probed. Gwen must decide i whether to bother. I Brownsville. Tex -Wl -The policeman held a cocked pis tol pointed al the towering Border patrolman. "The instant you see me make a move, pull thai trig ger," the patrolman chal lenged. Then Bill Jordan's hand streaked to a holster, slapped his revolver out of the leath er, and came up pointing a gun al the startled police man before the officer could tighten his finger on the un loaded weapon. The quick draw is an eye catcher that bears out Border Patrolman Jordan's advice to law officers: "A law officer should train himself so he can draw and shoot before a criminal with a cocked and pointed pistol can pull the trigger." Jordan, who is 6 feet 6 inches tall, does not claim to be the fastest draw. He does not want the title. But what he wants-and wants every lawman to Icarn-is never lo come out second best in a gunfighl with a criminal who would ralher kill than be ar rested. Jordan is a native of Chey neyville, La., who learned to shoot with the Mississippi Civilian Rifle team in the late IMO's. He joined the U.S. Border Patrol in 1940 and served in Alabama, Cali fornia, Arizona. New Mexico, Louisiana and Texas. Short Time Since then, Jordan has shortened his reaction time on the draw about three-tenths of a second. That means he can "slap leather" and fire his pistol in about the time it takes lo say "Border Patrol." Before you try to match that, be sure the gun is un loaded, Jordan advises. He says he did not get a light ning draw overnight and does not expect anyone else to do it. So while novices learn, he says, they should be sure they do not shoot out one , of their toes. Jordan says a desire lo live to a ripe old age in an often- j dangerous job led him lo i learn a fast draw. "It was explained to me ' when I joined the Borber Pa trol that I could retire when I was 50 and get paid for doing i nothing the rest of my life," he drawled. "Right then 1 made ui? my mind to become 50 years of aue." He is ISO now and still with the patrol.
