Dear Louisa:-
| am a very lonely person-my
neighbors do not seem to be bit
interested in me and seem to ig-
more me.
Ny mother always used to say,
make few friends and you'll have
no enemies. Louisa, do you think
this true?
Pm not person that can
push, myself like some people. The
majority of the people today are
very forward but Pm not built that
way. Pm not a we'll person and am
not able to go much. 1t seems to me
that people just have no time for
those who can't keep up with their
pace.
| l have been reading your letters
in The Marion Progress and am
very interested in it.
A Lonely Life-Pa.
Answer: -
The way to get people interested
in you is to be interested in them,
the way to make friends is to be
friendly and willing to go more than
halfway to make them like you.
1t is a pity that you followed
your mothers advice about having
few friends because I have always
found that some of our imaginary
enemies become real good friends
when we get to know them better.
You do not have to travel the
pace Of your neighbors to be friend
ly with them. Several of my good
neighbors are people whom l rare
ly meet at social affairs. They go
with different groups of people.
But we give each other plants and
flowers, we exchange recipes, we
send each others children gradu-

To the Georgia reader who is un>
happy because the boy she goes
with also goes with another girl, I
would say: Try and not let him
see how much it upsets you.
Of course, you could give him
the choice of you alone or not you
at all. But you do run the risk of
losing him altogether.
If you are crazy about him, just
hold on and perhaps he will tire of
the other girl. It wouldn't hurt to
have an occasional date with anc-

the finest traditions of bygone era
that camaraderie between teachers

shockingly inefficient-but we can't
help but believe that in the change

worthwhile values even tho they
