Gwen F. 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

there come those morning

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.
