TEEN ETIQUETTE
It's Best to Be Direct
In Breaking Friendship

and expected her to do the
same. She agreed-but still
she was so devoted to Jim
that it embarrassed him. So
Jim asked his friend, Bob, to
invite Betty to a dance. Jim
also told Betty he'd be out of
town the night Of the dance
so she would accept Bob's bid.
She did.
When friend Bob brought
Betty home from the dance.
he kissed her goodnight. Next
time Jim saw Betty. he quizzed
her. She admitted Bob had
kissed her. Jim used this to
start the fight that ended in
a split-up. Betty has not
dated Jim or Bob since. Unless
she happens to read this, she
might never know that this
was a plot-connived by both
boys-so Bob could help his
friend Jim dream up a reason
for giving Betty the go-your-
way!
AS soon as any boy or girl
begins to feel that something
is wrong and things are not
going well, start then to talk
about it! Here are the ways
DR.. Kirkendall has suggested
to many to help them to get
to more fairness and honesty
in their dating. And to find
more self dissatisfaction, too
since they then can feel they
have tried to do what was best.
Try it, you'll find it works.
/. Find a place and a time
where you can talk together,
privately.
2. Think ahead about what
you want to say. Don't just

blunder into it. Think Of
phrases that suit the situation,
like: II don't think that our
friendship is right lately" or
II don't think the way things
are going can make either of
us happy"
3. Avoid the unkind phrases
like I'm through with you"
Don't try to throw the blame
to the other person. It's bet
ter to share the responsibility
I'VE have made some mis-
takes"-and indicate that the
decision will be to the advan-
tage of both.
4. Tell the truth-much as
1t might hurt for the moment.
In the long run, dishonesty
hurts more and leaves the
hurt one bewildered. with self
confidence shaken. long after
the breakup" The greatest
kindness is to be direct. and
say what you feel. The hon.
est approach shows you do
the other person the honor of
assuming that she has enough
maturity to understand and
accept and respect you for
telling the truth.

Successful Banker

Besides doing an excellent job in
helping to improve the economies of I'M
derdeveloped countries, the very business
like World Bank is making good deal of
money for itself. In fact. according to the
report it has just issued on its far-flung
operations, its net profit for fiscal 1856
was 1922 millionaire biggest since its
founding 10 years ago.
The primary reason for this fine
showing is that the geographically
known as the International Bank for Re-
construction and observation-disclosures
strict nonpolitical standards when it adj
vanceS money to any country. Its loans,
in other words, are made only on the
basis of whether or not they can be justi-
fed in terms of technical and economic
feasibility. No project is approved or
financed until after thorough investiga-
ton shows that it is sound in that sense
So it is not surprising that the bank
which has membership of SO nations
and which has loaned close to So billion
to 43 countries-has produced highly
profitable results not only for its Dor
rowerS, but for itself as well. In that
respect, it is enviably unique among all
international financing enterprises.

Under Street PARKING

1t is encouraging to learn that plans
are being made to provide large off-street
parking areas in connection with the

Failure to provide adequate parking ia
cilities in the Federal Triangle led to an
invasion of handicapped reservations by

this dissertation of Federal park land by
automobiles is to be seen back of the
District Building. A unexplained grand
plaza there has become an unsightly
parking lot.

with appropriate foresight, is studying
the need for new parking facilities near
the new apartments and public buildings
scheduled to go up under the zeckendorf

Is This Where We Came In?

Everybody, more or less, believes in
arbitration. The diSagreementS begin
over what is to be arbitrated, and how.
That is the sort of disagreement that
seems to be keeping Mr.. Chalk and the
transit union apart-temporarily we
hope.
Mr.. Chalk and his associates believe
In arbitration In the middle of March,
Morris Fox, one of the Chalk associates,
conferred with the union officials and
issued statement. The statement said
Mr.. Fox had assured the union people
that he and his group, upon becoming
owners of the transit system, will ac-
cept impartial and binding arbitration
as the method for resolving any disputes
that collective bargaining negotiations
may fail to resolve" In letter to Sena-
tor Mcnamara, late in June, Mr. Chalk
and Mr.. Fox repeated this assurance,
adding that they shall agree to for
mula for the selection of three-member
board of arbitration to make sure that
no impaSSe could occur in the setup of
the arbitration machinery"
This language, however, does not get
down to brass tackS, although Mr. Chalk
and the union seem to have got there
now. Mr.. Chalk wants the union to
extend the existing contract with Capital
Transit which expires when he takes over
the property Tuesday midnight. Later
on, when he gets his new operation under
way, he will be in a better position to
negotiate new contract. The union, we
understand thinks that is reasonable
provided there is agreement on the pre-
else type of arbitration that will govern
future negotiations. Mr.. Chalk seems
willing to agree to arbitrate differences
arising under a contract. The union
wants arbitration of neW contract, in
case it cannot agree with Mr.. Chalk upon
its terms. These two types of arbitration
are about as far apart as the poles. In
fact, that is where Mr.. Wolfson came in
and it is one of the reasons that he is
going out.
We suppose that if Mr.. Chalk cannot
agree with the union, the Commissioners
will want to seize the transit company
and run Mr. Chalk out of town. That,
at least, is established precedent. But we
are Fundamentally opposed to history
repeating itself, and we hope the union
and Mr.. Chalk are too.

the anti-Nixon barrage almost

that other people" do not like

some hidden reason why they
