Rivals Push

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Three rival candidates were out
wooing voters today for the Demo-
cratic governorship nomination
while Florida Republicans were
still hunting some man to bear
their party'S standard.
The contest will get formally
and officially underway at noon
Monday, the deadline for qualifi-
cation of candidates.
AS the Democratic campaign
warmed up, it appeared unlikely
that all three candidates would
get together on any of the three
joint appearance opportunities arts
ing next week.
Acting Gov. Charley Johns and
Bradley Oldham will speak one aft
er the other in Sanford Saturday
night but Johns aides said he
won't accept the challenge Oldham
sent him for a debate.
The other candidate, Leroy Col.
Inns, said he would cancel his
North Florida appearances Satur-
day if a three man questionable
answer session could be arranged
but his campaign director said the
Tallahassee senator wouldn't do
it "just to be in town at the same
time as Johns"
Collins and Oldham will appear
together on two televiSion pro-
grams next week, Wednesday over
WITV at Hallandale and Thursday
over WTVJ at Miami but Johns
schedule will put him in St. Pc
tersburg and Jacksonville those
nights.
Collins, campaigning in West
Florida yesterday, hit back at
Johns complaint thai the ITALIA
hasseean had "criticized me be-
cause l gave small raises to the
lowest paid workers" of the State

''The biggest business in Flori-
da is your state government" Sem
ator James A. Franklin told the
Junior Chamber of Commerce at
their regular meeting last night.
Sen. Franklin is a candidate for re-
election to the senate from the

Senator Franklin pointed out that
about $275, 900, 900 in taxes.
''This great sum of money, along
with other funds appropriated by
the federal government will be-
spent by state agencies for opera
ton of the state and for the main
tenance of the various services
rendered by government to its CT
ITEMS" Sen. Franklin said.
Each of you, therefore, has an
interest in your government and
who runs it," he added.
"The Senator went on to say that
the state legislature determines
what taxes citizens will pay and
the manner in which tax money
will be spent. 1t meets for a period
of go days every second year and

3142 bills were introduced and con-
sidered by its members. Many of
these bills contained hundreds of
pages. Each member of the Senate
is assigned to several committees,
some members serving on as many
as many as a dozen committees.
During a short go day session,
a member of the Senate must at
tend committee meetings, sessions
of the senate and should read and
analyze the numerous bills that are

each bill.

DEAR MISS NISSEN: I am

2 years older. He Is q lot Of
fun and takes me to many
interesting places-if we go
alone. He will not double
date. I like to double date
with my girl friends but every

ANSWER: The middle teens
is the time for having fun and
making friends--not alternating
them. It's bad practice for q
15-year-older to shut herself
off with just one boy friend
thereby depriving herself OF
other companionship. Bert's
attitude may be due to several
causes. including q feeling of
insecurity with another couple
or jealousy of you.
Seventeen is an age when
masculine poise is not at its
best and he may think that in
appearances or behavior the
other boy will outshine him.
Or. he might just dislike the
idea of sharing your attention
with any one else. Both ideas.
of course, are immature, but
then, he is in the growing-up
stage. and will probably shed
them along with the down on
his chin. A little fiattery
might win your point. Tell
him after the next double date
how well he looked or behaved
in comparison with the other
lad. how proud you were to be
his date" and how you enjoy
showing him of before your
friends. A bit OF boosting is
wonderful tonic to the male
ego. and viii help the lad over
the rough period of adoles-
cence.
