Advice to
Girls
BY NANCY LEE

nEAR NANCY LEE:
IL Not long ago I went to a
dance and met a cute boy. One Of
my best girl friends was there. too.
In trying TO win this boys friend
ship she called him over the phone
and gave him the idea II was me.
Now. Nancy Lee. / see him at
least twice a day NJ school. Please
tell me what I can do to win his
friendship back. Also. I would
like Il very much. indeed. II you
will answer the following questions
for me: l. Which Is correct for
the boy or the girl 70 speak first?
2. Do you think a boy cares any
thing about a girl when he quits
having anything TO do with her be-
LUIS she won't let him kiss her?
3. What kind OF girl do most boys
like? =. Do boys like girls who
try 70 help other girl friends In
winning beaux?

DROWN EYES: The only thing to
do is TO explain the whole
matter 20 the young man and
TO drop the friendship OF a per.
son who acts as your girl friend
did !. It all depends upon the occa.
sion. Usually the lady signifies her
desire 70 talk. especially on intro
duction. 2. The boy cares only for
himself and is not a FRIEND. The
girl is well rid or such a person and
should do her best to forget him rs
quickly as possible. 3. That Is an.
other difficult question. my dear.
only say that all worthwhile
men care for girls who are
dignified. well-bred. sympathetic and
charming. Quite a big order. YOU
may think. but not difficult al al:
70 iii. II YOU make up your mind 10
be a thorough young lady. 4. I think
that such tactics. however well meant
they may be, brighten the average

gin 70 wonder II they were not 50

natural persons operating their own
farms. The high percentage of ten
ancy which occurs in the valley-a
percentage that applies both 20
number of farmers and to acreages

available business.
furthermore, it is doubtful, in
view of the wide publicity given
the valley in connection with Boul-
der Canyon Dam, whether this bank
could at this time reopen the dis
trict to loans without adversely af,
fecting its bond market, resulting in
still further raising interest rates,
which in turn must be passed on

TEN. Under the circumstances, such
action by this bank should be sup.

Agriculture in the valley is rela.

Evidence is lacking as to whether
the erop-producing power of the

showing a lowering in crop Yields.
Long term loans obviously can be
placed with safety only in localities
where the agriculture is established
on a semipermanent and stable
basis.
