TO KISS OR
NOT TO KISS !?
IT DEPENDS
AP Newsfeatures

Dating season is in full swing
again, judging by the letters from
puzzled types. These questions are
from students 16 to 1S years of
age. Here goes:
60. Our group has decided to
put a controversial question up to
you. It is this: Should girls kiss
on first date?
A. First-date-kissing depends en-
tirely on the boys character. II
he is just kissing you goodnight,
it is okeh. If he is using the kiss
ing with parkin with necking
technique, it is definitely mo" Dit
to if he acts like he expects to be
kissed goodnight or complains be-
cause you resist his advances.
@. My best friend dated a boy
all summer. then they broke off,
and have not seen each other for
several months. Now he has called
me and asked me to a big dance.
She will be going also, with anoth-
er boy, do not know whether to
accept the invitation in the circum-
stances.
A.. You should not worry about
past friendships if you like the boy.
It would be different if be had
dated your friend until a recent
quarrel, but since they haven't
seen each other for a long time,
the companionship seems to have
come to a halt.
Q. How often can you see a boy
without giving the impression of

Phil Silvers.
In most cases. as ratings drop
there are fast maneuvers to find
new writer's to produce new and
hopefully better material. Failure
of the material is usually blamed
for rickety ratings.
Mort Sahl, a rising young Chi
cago entertainer. suggests that this
is a lot of baloney.
"They didn't have anything to
say in the first place." Sahl insists.
And unless you have something to
say, all the material in the world
won't help you. There's no reason
a comedian can't go on forever and
ever on TV."
High-BrOW VIII Rogers
For devotees of Sahl, the bushy-
haired, slightly unhandsome young
man comes across as a super-intel-
lectual VIII Rogers. In the cult
rising around him, comedian is
dirty word. To them = and to nu-
merous critics-Sahl is a humor-
ist.
Thus, Sahl on stage, or before the
TV cameras-does not employ gags
with socko punchlines. For in
stance, here is Sahl talking about
go-now, pay-later travel:
We'll, the problem is that when a
lot of passengers get home, the
trip is no longer read to them and
they stop making payments. But
now some of the travel agencies
have worked out ways of reposs-
essing the trip. If you're prestige
ridden, they can take the stickers
off your luggage, which is the end.
Or, if you're an incurable domantic,
they can brainwash you, so, you
don't remember Paris"
For this sort of material, a man
doesn't necessarily need a writer,
just mind able to take telling
bite on any sensitive part of the
body politics.
TV Oddities
This quality has made the 30
year-old performer an e2ticing
though perplexing piece of pro-
perty for TV. He is one of those
TV oddities-a performer who re-
ceived $4,000 for a one-year NBC
contract yet appeared before cam
eras so seldom even his mother

Busy Teen
Thrilled By
Capitol Trip
By VIVIAN BROWN
AP Newsfeatures Writer

Every youth should be given the
opportunity to visit the capital of
the United States" says 17-year-
old Camp Fire Girl Betty Chicky of
Grand Rapids, Mich, who had that
wish realized recently when she
was chosen to represent some sew
en- million teen-agers at a plan
ming session for the 1860 White
House Conference for Children and
Youth.
Travel should be an essential
part of our education" says brun-
cite Betty. There is no way to de-
scribe the thrill of sitting on the
steps of the lighted Capitol at night,
the grandeur of the Washington
Monument and Lincoln Memorial.
Every young American should see
for himself"
Betty discussed that junket while
enjoying another one-a trip to
New York to attend the First Youth
Conference of the National Founda-
ton for Infantile Paralysis, to help
drum up teen-age interest in polio
shots.
Betty was and is on just about
any committee you could dream of,
from heading up the first teen-age
traffic safety conference in Michi-
gan to being an active member of
the Girls Union Club, an athletic
association, and Latin clubs. And
you'd think from all that, perhaps,
that she has little else to do.
Actually I start my day at a.
m.," says vivacious Betty, whose
mother died when she was IL.
That's when | prepare breakfast
for Dad, my older sister and my
baby sister Carole, who is Is. After
that comes bed making and dusting.
Then Carole and I walk off to
school together. On the way home
/ pick up the groceries, then pre-
pare dinner, and do the dishes. By
that time it is Z o'clock and I can
settle down to study and school
club functions"
Betty had planned to enter Mich
igan State this fall on a scholar
ship, but her older sister is getting
married, so that put a damper on
that plan. Betty must be nearer
home, so she'll attend Grand Rapids
Junior College, also on a scholar
ship.
You'd think Betty would never
have time for dates, but she does.

Descendants Honor Timothy Downing
At Luncheon At Home OF Mrs. Chance

The officers and state officers

lumbus, National Society, u. S.
Daughters of 1872 attended a
luncheon and special October
meeting at the home of Mrs. Jesse
E. Chance, North Oak Street, re-

appointments which graced the

der, the first white settler in Mad
