Dear DR.. Popenoe:

Dear DR.. Popenoe:
Il am 16 years old, my boy
friend is Is. know We are
both still very young; but may
be should start from the very
beginning. I have had many
boy friends in the last few
years. But this one is, I am
very sure, different. Ed and I
have gone steady for quite a
while now. At first we went
out together just for fun,
knowing sincerely that we
didn't care very deeply for each
other; but suddenly after our
fifth or sixth date he kissed
me quite innocently and
after that I knew I was in love
with him. I am in my last year
of high school and must admit
that my classwork is suffering
badly. I can't sleep or eat. and
I am losing weight rapidly. be-
coming nervous and jumpy,
and worrying my parents for
these reasons. But I haven't
wanted to tell them my prob
lem until I know how serious
it is. DR.. Popenoe, we don't
want to go wrong. We want to
work and save and marry in
about three years; but right
now we both know we won't
last that long. When we are
with each other, it is as if we
were being pulled together by
the most powerful magnet. All
that we do is talk about the
day when we will belong to
each other. Every time we are
together it's like a step nearer
to Destruction with capital
D; and when we are apart it
is twice as bad can't sleep
or eat. What are we going to
do? We need advice fast be-
fore it is too late! Please help
us gain our goal of waiting
three years and entering our
marriage with purity and
grace. Please try to do the
best you can for us"
You need to keep a cool
head, plan carefully, and carry

BREAD RECIPEo

MRS. M. A., Washington
AS a child in Michigan, we
were able to buy at a small
bakery a loaf of bread which
the baker called salt rising
bread"
I should like very much to
make some of this bread, but
to date I have not found a
recipe for it. I seem to recall
a yeast flavor in the dough.
/ hope some kind reader can
help me out with this particu-
lar problem.

QUERIES
mrs. c. A. S., Falls Church,
Has anyone tried the kit
used to replate silver and
were the results satisfactory?
Has anyone tried the plastic
foam mattress toppers sold
by a mail-order house with
local stores? Is it as COM
Portable as the foam rubber
ones? Does it wear better?
After about two years, ours got
hard and crumbly, although
it was always protected by
the mattress pad. Why? Will
the same thing happen to

niture?

Charles County
In Bid for CIA

The Charles County Md
commissioners have invited Gen.
tral Intelligence Agency officials
to consider location Of It's pro-
posed new headquarters in their
county.
In a letter to CIA Director
Allen w. Dulles, John L. Sulli-
van. president of the Charles
County commissioners, promised
the county would cooperate in
every way possible to provide the
facilities needed for operation
of the new building.
Milton B. Canter, owner of a
4,000-acre tract OF land In the
county fronting on the Potomac
River 80 miles from the Dis
trict. has offered the CIA as
much of his property as is neces-
sary for the new headquarters,
However. CIA officials have
stated a strong preference for
locating on Federal property
overlooking the Potomac at
Langley. Va, eight miles from
the White House. One of the
agency's criteria in looking for a
site was that it be within 10
miles of the White House.
Prince Georges County is also
waging a vigorous campaign for
location of the CIA on Federal
property at Greenbelt, near the
new Baltimore Washington park
Way.

Teachers 10 Get
Job Assurances

Alexandria's teachers today
had assurance they could begin
their summer vacations with a
binding commitment for their
jobs next fall, even though con-
tracts are not issued until late
July.
This came in school board
discussions last night. preceding
a vote to continue the present
practice of issuing the teach
erS' employment contracts after
budget adoption by the City
Council makes it possible to use
the exact salary in the contract.
Such Council action tradition
ally never takes place before
June, and clerical work on the
contracts holds them up until
late July.
School Supt. T. c. Williams
had been asked to study a sys-
tenn whereby contracts could be
issued earlier. perhaps on a
continuing basis, to give teach
ers a greater feeling Of job
security.
He reported to the board that
several alternatives existed, in
cluding continuing contracts,
but that none of them is fully
effective as to salary until the
Council has acted.
However, Mir. Williams noted

Procedure at
Milk Hearings

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. II
(SpeciaD - Attorney for Highs
Dairy Products Co. today
charged the Virginia State Milk
Commission had got away from
generally accepted legal pro-
cedure' followed by administra-
tive bodies in holding hearings.
Israel Steingold appeared be-
fore the three-man commission
in Richmond today on an appeal
that the Commissioners recon-
slider a recent order fixing higher
prices than those requested by
Highs Dairy Products Co. of
Northern Virginia.
The commission is also con-
sidering request for further
consideration by Safeway Stores,
Inc. which has indicated it will
stand on its previous testimony
and await the commissions de-
cision.
The commission set prices
early in the fall some 20 cents
a gallon higher than the price
requested by Highs and a cent
a quart higher than the price
requested by Safeway. Both
chain store distributors have
asked further that the commist
sion withdraw altogether from
retail price controls.
Just before the hearing began
today, Mr.. Steingold said that
his charge that the commission
failed to follow legal procedure
would be the key one in his argu-
ment today.
THE commission should make
all matter available so that all
interested parties may have ac-
cess to the information on which
the commission acted that they
may cross examine witnesses or
produce information in rebuttal.
Mr.. Steingold said. He added
that the commission after hear
ing testimony, closes its public
bearing. then receives such con-
fldential information as it finds
necessary and reaches con-
cluSion. ...

Ibers who will recommend meth

board asked that parents from
each elementary school set UP a
committee to consider reporting
methods. and to report to the
parents Of their own schools.
The board at that time also
proposed the countrywide study.
After some parents critized
lack Of A-B-C type report cards,

school was using the A-B-C type.
