By DOROTHY KICKER

Dear Mrs. Kicker:
About five months ago I was
dating a wonderful girl. She was
crazy about me and 1 told my
buddies that whenever I didn't
have a date, all 1 had to do was
call her at the last minute and
she would come running. She
heard about IL somehow and
wouldn't speak to me. Soon after
ward 1 was shipped across the
country II am \ sailor and 1
didn't have time to apologize
before 1 left.
While 1 was away I realized I
loved her very much and wanted
to write and tell her was sorry
but 1 never got around to it.
Recently, while I was home on
leave, 1 met her at q party. She
treated me with cold politeness
and spoke only when IL was nee
essary. 1 am going overseas soon
and would like to be friends with
her and maybe have her write to
me. Any advice would be greatly
appreciated.
-BIG-HEADED SWABBY.
Dear "Swabby":
If you love this girl very much"
you would have found time while
you were away to write to her.
Now. since you have been home you
have even had the opportunity to
talk with her, but you still haven't
tried to apologize. My advice is.
first Of all, to learn how to treat a
girl. You see. you were dead
wrong to brag to your buddies about
the girl running" at your call.
And, since you have let months slip
by without trying to contact her
she would have to be a mind reader
to know you even liked her.
It seems to me that your whole
attitude is wrong and shows you
do not want to put forth the effort

Ambitions Mocked
Dear Mrs. Kicker:

Dear Mrs. Kicker:
Recently we have been working
on q vocational unit i'm school.
I tried to discuss il with my
parents but 1 didn't get very far.
My ambition has been to get a
thorough education. After high
school I want to get a college
degree and then 60 into Home Ec
or nursing. Also, i have always
looked forward to marriage.
hope to raise a good Christian
family and want my husband and
me to be good, outstanding
citizens.
But my parents brought me
down to what they called "bare
reality" In short, they said nurs-
ing Is q lOw-class profession and
that anybody at all can be mar
ried any time they so desire.
They also said that neither Of
these aims were worthy Of an
intelligent person. Are their
standards distorted or are mine?
Please help me to either rebuild
my dreams or to forget them.
Thank you. -Carla.
Dear Carla:
Your parents are entitled to
their opinions. Of course. but it
seems their opinions are definitely
distorted" II they really believe
that the desire for a happy mar
rage. and q fine family, is UNI
worthy Of an intelligent person"
their own marriage must be a
dismal failure.
AS for nursing, it is considered
a very fine profession. The work
is not easy but it pays well and
certainly is dignif1ed and worth
while.
My advice Is to keep right on
dreaming your dreams and. If pos

Gordon Carr bears the nickname

fellow that he just laughs about it.

1S6-pounder.
Gordon is a transplanted Cali
fornian who has thrived since he
came to Washington temporarily

aunt and attend Cardozo High
School.

'Twirp Dance Rules
Dear Mrs. Kicker:

Dear Mrs. Kicker:
We're having a "Twirp Dance"
The women are required 70 pay.
I'm only a freshman and I don't
know much about II. Some Of
the girls say the girl is supposed
to do everything the boy Ordinari-
ly does. Others say differently.
would like to know just how
far a girl has to 60 at this type
of dance. Who provides trans
pOrtatiOn? Does the girl buy her
own cOrsage? And, what type Of
clothes does she wear? What
about n bOutOnniere for the boy?
Who takes who home? And, how
should a girl 60 about asking q
boy, in the first place?
A TWIRP.
Dear Twirp:
If the dance is a girl-ask-boy
affair, the girl should invite the boy
of her choice by saying something
like this: THE girls are asking the
boys to the "Twirp Dance" and I
would like to invite you to go with
me-" The boy. or his parents.
should provide transportation and
take the girl home. If the dance
is formal he should buy the girl q
corSage.
If it is customary for the girl in
your community to buy bouton-
nieres for boys when they attend q
formal dance it would be all right
to do so. And. naturally, the girl
would wear an evening dress to q
formal dance. She would pay for
the admission tickets but If they
go out to eat after the dance the
boy picks up the checks.

construction of eight to ten cot

will provide living facilities for
Is boys and a cottage parent FAM
lily. Along with these will come
dining hall, laundry, school gym,
athletic field and a chapel.
Robbie said district judges in

The ranch board has received
letters from a number of district
judges. Among them are Guy c
Derry, E. E. Fenton and Ben Har-
wood of Billings, who jointly
wrote:
I'VE want you to know we
heartily approve of this project
and feel it is an effective and
practical means of combating jul
venile delinquency.
1--WE have watched this project
grow from conversation to reality
and feel Boys Ranch will meet
a real need in our two states.
Further, we feel that such a
ranch will provide an excellent
foster home and that the super
vised care available at the ranch
will in many instances eliminate
the necessity of a commitment
to the State Industrial School,"

Great Falls, said, Ever since /

He added that quite a number
OF individuals, clubs and churches
have inquired as to Boys Ranch
needs along the lines of live
machinery, furniture and
household needs, and also about
helping to share in the keep" of
a boy by the month.

already offered to give three head
Of registered Black Angus breed

He added, there have been 9TH
definite promises concerning
bedding and other small items.
One family and one business firm

'eady people are developing the

On the matter of material con-

TORONTO. Sept. THE
artificial moon to be shot into
an orbit around the earth from
Florida as part Of the Interna-
tional Geophysical Year pro-
gram hardly can be launched
before next March because the
necessary system Of tracking
stations around the world can
not be set UP earlier.
This was announced by DR..
Lloyd Berkner. director OF the
Bro0khaven, L. J., Atomic En-
ergy Laboratory at the Inter-
national Union Of Geodesy and
Geophysics here Thursday. At
least IL optical tracing stations
will be required as well as q
large number Of radar stations.
At q meeting in Washington
starting September 80 with
Russian delegates present, the
problem Of the different orbits
to be followed by the American
and Russian satellites will be
ironed out. Russians announced
here that their artificial moon
would follow q different path,
more directly circular around
the world, than that proposed
by the Americans.
Meanwhile. it was announced,
the ICY set up at Fort Belvoir
proved itself 100 per cent two
