I. - She's making a terrible mistake, wasting her charms. e Yolanda R. - My sister has a lot of old-fashioned ideas about men and she seizes upon every opportunity to lecture me. She knows I don't agree that a girl must "save herself" for the man she intends to marry. On the contrary, I be lieve I'll make a more suc cessful marriage if I have a few premarital sex experi ences. Right now I'm seeing two fellows. One of them appeals to me so strongly that I've accompanied him to his apart ment. With the other I go no further than some heavy neck ing. In this way I'll really learn all about love before I marry, and neither my hus band nor I will be disappoint ed the way many newlyweds are. Mrs. D. I. - After the care ful upbringing our parents gnve us, Yolanda must be out of her mind to think she'll find happiness by living an immoral life. The trouble Is she's been listening to those artists and beatniks. Yet she can't show me one of that bunch who has wound up really happy and healthy, surrounded by a lov ing family, the way my par ents did, and the way I hope to turn out myself. I keep nagging Yolanda while there's still time for her to stop her madness. Even now, I wonder whether a really fine young man will still want her as his wife. Wouldn't it serve her right if the fellow she likes best should be one of the "old fashioned" ones who wants to marry a virgin? Th Council: Those who condemn t h e "old-fashioned" codes Justify their stand by claiming that - choose one or more - times, values, codes, viewpoints, practices have changed. Our overall and coverall rebuttal: True, but people haven't! And in particular men still have the old primeval urge to roam, while woman, the natural home makers and mothers, have an old built-in yearning to settle down. Mar riage, as we know it, insists on the "old-fashioned" idea that man and woman must stay put, and must concentrate upon each other until they become, as the Bible puts it, "one flesh." Yolanda lias been listening to the wrong drums. As Mrs. I. indicates, the one man Yo landa goes overboard over may like her fine as a fun pal, but when it comes to marrying he may hold out for a gal "just like the gal who married dear old Dad." And that gal waited to learn all about love in the slow school of wedding anniversaries! We don't mean to go blue nose here. But we add our warning to Mr. I.'s that it's a dangerous gamble for a girl, and the odds are against her. In the first place, despite the testimony of the sensual ists, any resemblance between clandestine sex and martial sex is coincidental. One form may satisfy, but the other cements! The relationship of husband and wife is coin pounded of more than desire. Also present is the sort of solicitude which looks many years ahead. It is love-linked as part of a strong chain, not a disconnected lightning-flash. Furthermore, what's t h c percentage? Hiding in your boy-friend's apart m e n t, Yo landa, there's none of the re laxed and "right" feeling which contributes to the best sex experiences. Won't you be left with guilt feelings, and with a distorted idea of the sexual phase of marriage? Above all, won't you be jusl left? We hope not. "Saving" yourself would be safer, to say the least.

YOU DOHT WAVE "5n to WOQBV ABOUT 5- -07V LITTLE DOGGIE WHOD fT 5 ff Soons No Slugabed West Denies Claims That Congress Has Been Slow Washington -IUPII- There has tions. In one resolution, it notified the President that a quorum was present on open ing day. In another resolution, it notified the House that a quorum was present. The point I'm trying to make is, the fact that nothing much has happened in Con- too been a lot of talk this year about the system under which Congress op era t e s and whether it needs to be modern i z e d. Some deep thinkers seem to feel that the legislative ma c h i n e r y a s presently w constituted is cumbersome to permit Congress to meet its responsi bilities in the space age. In support of their position, they point out that although approximately two months have elapsed since the current session began, hardly anything has happened. I have no intention of get ting involved in this contro versy, but I would like to do my bit to keep at least one aspect of the record straight. Not Very Noticeable Contrary to the way it might appear to the naked eye, Congress actually has been rather busy this year. It's just that it hasn't done anything very noticeable. I have been looking over the legislative calendar and I find that, going into the last week of February, the House of Representatives already had passed a total of two bills. One of them extends the time for filing burial expenses for veterans. The other author izes the armed forces to pro vide equipment and other sup port for the annual Boy Scouts jamboree. Neither is exactly earth shaking, but they certainly should quash any complaints that Congress is prone to dal liance or is composed of slug abeds. Senate Less Productive The Senate, it is true, has not been quite as productive as the House. By that I mean that the senators haven't passed any bills as yet. This is not a sign of ennui o r lackadaisical behavior, however. The Senate has been having some trouble getting organized. I can appreciate its problem because 1 often have trouble getting organized my self. Even so, the Senate has managed to pass five resolu- grcs doesn't necessarily mean that Congress has been stand ing still. Anyone who has spent much time around the Capitol can tell you that it's possible for nothing to happen even when Congress is going full blast. New Farm Worker Guide Available San Francisco-Farm work ers in California and other western states may for the first time move on a schedule from crop to crop. The U. S. Department of Labor has pub lished a new guide v to help them plan their employment itineraries. A. J. Norton, regional di rector of the department's Farm Labor Service here, said that one feature of the 1963 edition of "A Guide to Sea sonal Farm Work in the Far Western Slates" is that culti vation and harvesting time tables for crops in each state listed are shown in numerical order. "This will enable domestic farm workers to pin - point their movements from one employment situation to the next. Wide use of the guide should alleviate some local labor shortages at critical periods and also make it pos sible for more growers to har vest highly perishable crops with dispatch," Norton said. State employment offices in Arizona, California, Ida ho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington are being sup plied with English and Span ish versions of the guide. THE NOSE KNOWS Los Angeles-lUPP-Lawrence Allen used his nose to get out of a bind. Robbers Tuesday handcuffed the 58-ycar-old hot dog stand operator's hands and legs and taped his mouth closed. After, a three-hour struggle Allen managed to telephone his home for help by dialing with his nose. Soviet Scientist Denies Stories of Revived Tritons Moscow -tUPD- A Soviet Pro fessor, whose name was linked to a claim that 5.000-year-old lizard-like Tritons had been brought back to life in Si beria, said today the story was "pure fantasy." "The author of this tale should be punished," said Prof. Lev Losino Losinsky, head of the cosmic biology laboratory at Leningrad's In stitute of Cytology. Losino-Losinsky, said in an interview he had warned the writer of the revived lizard tale ahead of time not to por tray scientific fantasy as fact. The claim that a four-inch amphibious salamander known as a Triton had been revived after being frozen 5,000 years in Siberian soil was broadcast Tuesday by Moscow Radio. It triggered a storm of phone calls from cor respondents here and abroad seeking more details. Eyebrows are Raised Overseas a host of scientific eyebrows were raised when the report was given wide cir culation. In New York, Dr. Charles M. Bogcrt of the American Museum of Natural History attributed the reports to "some sloppy scientific ob servation." "My guess," Bogert said, "is that these lizards reported by Moscow either fell into the excavation or went down a rodent hole. Salamanders are active right down to the freezing point but at a couple of degrees below that they die. I do not know where tha permafrost extends where they were found. I am doubt ful it would be freezing at 13 feet." Bogert said some salaman ders "Can be frozen in ice and thawed but there is no record, of their being frozen for pro longed periods and reviving." Taken from Magazine Moscow Radio reporters finally admitted they had taken the story from a 3-month-old issue of the Lenin grad magazine Neva. A Neva article written by G. Baldysh claimed that one Triton found frozen in Si beria by Geologists had re turned to life when thawed out in a warm room. Tha article claimed the creature had lived for three weeks and even eaten from people's hands. It said another revived Tri ton had lived a whole sum mer. The Neva article linked the stories to the work of Prof. Losino-Losinsky who has dona considerable experimen ting with the problem of keeping creatures alive by deep freez ing. Losino-Losinsky said nona of his experiments had been successful. He was convinced the Siberian Triton story was just "legend."
