Yolanda R, - It's my life
and my sister doesn't under
stand it.
Mrs. D. 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.

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."
