Ans: Yes. You will go north
TO visit your sister before the
summer months. Do not con-
tinue putting off this trip as
you have done for the past two
years but get your things to-
gether and when the apprOpri-
ate time arises. go.
r. d. S.-My boy friend wants
me TO marry him but I want to
go 20 college this month. What
must I do?
Ans: Go to college. You
would be perfectly miserable
with this fellow as he is "rum
hOund". He can't leave whisky
alone and you two couldn't
find happiness as long as he
drinks, so postpone the wedding.
I. B. R.-My husbands Job is
looking funny and 7 want to go
into the chicken business and
would like to know what you think
about it?
Ans: A very good idea. Now
is the time to begin. and
since you have plenty of time
TO devote to a business of this
kind, you should make a sue
cess of IL. You must feel that
il is a job. as il takes lots
Of good care TO raise chickens
Try il.
E. H-Why is it that my hus-
band won't give me any money
when he gets paid off?
Ans: He's too darn stingy.
Evidently he doesn't believe in
sharing alike. If he doesn't
do better right away, let him
know that you won't stick to
the bargain either for you are
much too young to have a man
doing you this way.
F.. c. W-When I get troubled
in mind I think Of you. Tell me if
this friend of mind is trying to get
work. I have kept him in clothes,
shoes, food, room, rent and money
to spend since September and he
doesn't seem to try to find work.
Explain it to me.
Ans: You are certainly being
taken for ride for he doesn't
care for you at all. he just
wants what you have to give
him. He cares for the woman
wHo does his LAUNDRY
EACH WEEK. keep your
money and get rid of this man
and YOU won't be so dissatisfied

Windy March

BY REV. HUELL ]. JACKSON,
pastor Greater Elm Street Baptist
Church
Windy March is here at last,
The wind begins a fearful blast
1t shakes the window and rattles
the door,
And tries to sneak in through
hole in the floor;
The white gncW's fate is really
tragic.
1t disappears as If l.y magic:
The buds on trees are growing
green
Robins on the lawn are seer:
All this movement goes to prove
Windy March will make things
move.

L. G.-I have asked faVorS OF
you before and here I am again. I
wish to know if there is any way
that 1 can get my job back again
as ! am in dire need of work?
Ans. Apply at the employment
Office of this factory again. Ex-
plain to them that your reason
for quitting last year was the
fact that you were to have
baby. / think you will get work
there again this spring, but not
in the same department, as you
must work up again as you did
before.
I. C.-This boy 1 am going with
says he wants to marry me. Now I
am already married but both nus
band and myself have other friends.
Tell me if T should get my divorce
and plan to marry him?
Ans: A separation would be
the best for all concerned, as
neither one of you are living
true to the other. This young
man you are going with likes
you. but don't make the mis-
take of living with him before
you marry, for if you do, you
are sure to lose him out right.
S. w. J.-What do you think
about my sons marriage and will
his wife ever treat him right?
Ans: Stop worrying about
your son. He knew very well
what he was getting into be-
fore he married this girl but
he felt that he was willing to
accept her better or worse and
you or no one else could change
his views. They will get along
poorly but they would be
miserable without the other.
E. 81 have heard lot about
you and I want list of my lucky
days. Tell me which of the two
states will prosper most, Flori-
da or Georgia?
Ans: If you will send a quar-
ter for your AstrOlOgy Reading

chart for the entire year. A
change right now wouldn't
help ANY . next fall, prepare

and you will find that condi-
tiOns will be better there for

planned. I'm some cases they have
cut out scholastic grades entirely.
We haven't gone that far but we
have attempted to give a more COM
plete picture of the total growth
Of the individual"
The card is designed to give par
ents a little more information on
the child's progress, he pointed out.
For sometime educators have be-
lieved that the simple grade mark
ing system was inadequate, that it
failed to give a complete enough
picture to the parent to allow him
to help the child correct attitudes
and habits that may be damaging
later.
The report, Mr.. Olson said, should
stimulate a closer relationship be-
tween the school and parents, col
laborating to direct the student in
those characteristics best calculat-
ed to result in better citizenship.
The school Is interested not only
in that the student become
acquainted with general knowledge,
he said, but that the student should
grow into a wise and useful citizen.
I'VE invite the reactions Of the
parents to this new report system"
Mr.. Olson said.
In all the new report lists a
number of points under all sub
jects studied and under social and
work habits. Points checked are
those, under the teachers analysis
of the student, which If carried out
would tend to improve the stu
dents work.
