?Dear Miss White: | am a CON
slant reader of your column and find
need your advice, for which | shall
be very grateful.
Some three years ago | came to
Oakland from a small town and like
it here very much. Right now | am
unemployed, but room with a girl
friend who is helping me out. Al
though | planned to go home she
wants me to stay with her. arguing
that ihere isn't much doing in
small town. We both come from the
same place and we have been such
true pals for nine years, that she
doesn't want us to part.
At home | have only sister. |
have no parents, and my sister has
family with a husband out of
work But she has asked me to stay
with her even though they haven't
much to live on, since she heard
about my girl friend helping me out.
What would you do if you were me?
Another thing, I'd like your adj
vice on. have a boy friend in my
home town. | met him through his
sister and went with him for a year.
His people think the world of me and
always say | am the girl for their
son. But he is like a puzzle which is
hard to solve. When | went with
him he seemed very bashful and did
not display any affection toward me,
but still he asked me to marry him.
| Then when | went home last summer
on my vacation he came to see me
about three times a week and often
er when he didn't work overtime
and he took me places and wanted
me to sta. But then all he talked
about was work and how tired ne
was, and he wanted to go home real
early since there was nothing he
liked more than sleep. His sister
told me that as soon as he comes
home from work he listens to the ra-
dio a while, then goes to bed, and
that he has no other girl friend but
me.
Ny Low friend cried when | made
up my mind to return to the city
and he and his sister drove me back
At parting time he only shook hands
and said goodbye.
This all happened eight months
ago and he hasn't written me line
since. and | don't write either.

he cares for me, or what do, yor

Thanking you sincerely, | am
UNDECIDED.
Your girl friend must be true
friend to help you out as she is do
ing. And unless there is something
which you have not told | can see
nothing about it to occasion any un.
favorable remarks. You might go
to your sister for part of the time
and help her out with her work.
Your boy friend may not be very
well, since he tires so easily and
seems to need sleep. Being bashful
he may need little encouragement
1t is hard to understand why he
doesn't write if he cares. But thai
may be another good reason fol

him up and see what happens HI

JUST A KID.
You must be acquainted with the
wrong kind of girls and boys. Girls
who are really good wouldn't start
leading the wild pace as soon as you
are with them. They must fool you a
little in The beginning. Identify
Yourself with some church and its
young peoples organizations where
you may meet both girls and boys,
also perhaps older persons who can
make it pleasant for you. After a
while you may be invited to the
home of some boy and in one way
and another your circle of friends
will gradually enlarge.
In the right surroundings and
with the right friends you will not
find it so hard to be good. And re-
member, too, that you can be what
ever you are determined to be. You
are young, and don't let anyone per-
suade you from the r g h t track.

you can find plenty of good COM

Italian Peasants Cling
to Unsanitary Homes

A tradition of centuries standing
Is handicapping Italian engineers in
their work of reconstructing the
buildings destroyed ty the recent
earthquake in the region east of
Naples. Dozens Of new homes have
already been constructed to replace
the loosely built old dwellings de-
stroyed by the quake recently. They
are pleasant structures with several
rooms, far more comfortable in every
way than the buildings which they
replace, and one would naturally ex-
pect the peasants to acclaim the
work and to struggle for the hand
some new homes. On the contrary,
many peasants have utterly refused
to live in them, one of the objections
being that farm animals, which gen
orally live in the same buildings as
their owners in the hilltop communi-
ties, are not furnished accOmmoda-
lions in the new structures. In many
other ways they are too ''new-fan-
gled" for the medieval-minded people
who inhabit the region. Eventually
however, simply because they have
no other habitations, the people are
expected to retreat from their stub
born position, and to accept the mag
1animity Of the government with
thanks,
