Dear Mrs. Kicker:
Since I entered high school
have played the field. That Is,
until three months ago when i
started dating q new girl who
moved here from another State.
L am very much in love with her.
We are both 16 and she tJerrD
feels the same about me and we
couldn't stand being separated
But eur parents want us to
break up. We had made plans for
the future and planned to enter
college together. know We are
young but We are truly serious.
Is it 50 wrong to be young and in
love? What advice do you have
for rs? Please answer soon.
JERRI and DAVE
Dear Jerri and Dave:
Being in love" at 16 is not
wrong" But, what you do about it
-whether your attitude is sensible
or MOTIFS what counts So. let's go
over this problem together and look
at it from your parents point OF
view. as well as your own You are
only Is and have known each other
only three months. But you say
you are truly serious! So. your
parents are probably worried lest
you may go on the deep end.
They realize you might allow
your relationship to become too
involved or. even abandon your
plans for college and decide you
want to get married
II either happened. it could up
set. If not ruin. your lives And
am sure that under these circum-
stances you will have to agree your
parents concern would be justified.
Now, let's look at your side of the
problem. You are young. in love
and, at present. you feel that is all
that matters. No doubt you sincere
" believe this bliSSful state will go
on forever-and it might. But. let's
look at it logically.
At 10. you are still quite young
and obviously have some more
growing to do. / think you VIII
agree that you should. and will. be
wiser and more mature at Is or 20
than you are now In those inter-
vening years your opinions and
ideals will change about many
things. including people For ex-
ample, a 16-year-old boy may
love" a girl who is an extrovert.
But at 20 his dream girl may be a
quiet. shy. retiring girl The same
thing is true of a girl. At l6. only
q football hero may measure up to
her dreams but when she finally
marries it may be a boy who cares
nothing about sports
So, you see. even though you are
truly serious" about each other
now, in q few years Cor even
monthsl you could change from
being sweethearts to mere acquaint-
aI1ceS.
Ny advice is this. Try to accept
the fact that there is a chance

Dear Lillian:
There is no doubt that you will

the exception Of my father. Help

Dear Christine:
Some friction between parents
and their teef-age offspring is
normal and bound to happen. but
it is a pitiful thing when they just
can't seem to. understand each
other IN any way. In such a case
both youngsters and parents are
missing something wonderful and
precious in their relationship.
II each would make a sincere
effort to try to understand the
others point of view. many serious
family disagreements could be
avoided. The best way to reach
a harmonious relationship is to talk
things over together. Then. If both
youngster and parents are reason-
able and logical. they should be able
to iron out their difficulties and
each other.
Perhaps if you explain to your
mother how you feel about this
problem she. too. will see the need
of a closer mother-daughter re-
ationship-which is based. in my
opinion. on a mutual feeling OF
trust and respect.

Heed This
Retirement
DeadIine

For the ladies, 62 has been the
qualifying age for monthly social
security old-age insurance benefits
since last November.
Mr.. A. w. Boehringer, manager
Of the east-side office, at 10002
Euclid ave.. estimates that there
are still some 1900 women in this
area, between ages 62 and 65, who
would be eligible for monthly
checks if they would claim them.
He urges every woman, 63 or
older as Of next month, to in
quire about her own status before
the end of the month. Where the
requirements are met and an ap-
plication made, it will be possible
to make back payments to No
vember, 1856. The law permits the
granting of checks retroactively
for up TO. II months.
Mr.. Boehringer went on to say
that failure of an otherwise eligi-
BILE woman, 63, or over as of No
vember, to apply before the end
of the month will result in less
of benefits" The amount of the
loss will depend upon the length
of the delay in filing.
Four groups of elderly women
are affected by this change in the
qualifying age from 65 to 81: a
widows and (2) dependent mothers
Of deceased husbands and children
with established rights under the
law; 81 wives with a right to
benefits on their eligible husbands
records; and (4) working women
with rights on their own work
histories.
A widow or dependent mother,
upon applying at age 81. can re-
ceive the full 1870 due her of the
deceased workers benefit rate
each month. There is no reduction
in the amounts payable to such
widows and dependent mothers by
the three years reduction in the
qualifying age.
A wife claiming checks at the
regular retirement age of 65
would receive monthly benefit
amounting to 500 of her bene-
ficiary-husband's payment. How
ever, claim at 81 means a $3.50
reduction in her monthly check.
Where the wife is somewheres
between 62 and 65 when she files
for benefits, the reduction will be
from 2/3rds of 19o to $3.50 de-
pending on her exact age.
An insured working woman is
in much the same position as a
wife. If she requests her retire
ment checks at 81, she must ac-
cept a 300 reduction in her
monthly rate.
In concluding, Mr.. Boehringer
emphasized the point that in the
case of the wife and working wo-
man the reduction is a permanent
one. The benefit check will not be
increased when the lady attains
her 65th birthday.

Rattlesnake
Rendezvous

Back in the early 1800s the Western
Reserve part of Ohio was thickly in
tested with snakes of all kinds, the
worst of them copperheads and rat
tiers. Waggish local legend had it
that it was a snake from the neigh
borhood that had tempted Eve-and
lot of the backwoods people up
there believed it.
The rocky lowland around Slows
Corners, Summit County, was favor
ite rendezvous of the rattlers and it
was many years before they were all
killed off. Finally the settlers there
took turns in watching the rocks for
rattlesnakes just like they had done
some years before for Indians. Early
spring was the best hunting season
for that-the sunny days brought the
snakes out of their holes to bask in
the sun.
1t was on Sunday morning and most
of the residents of the neighborhood
were holding "class meeting" in their
little log church. Only "Snaky' Baker
remained away-he was out in the
rocky "gulf" nearby watching for
snakes. Baker had become SO adept at
killing them that it had given him a
nickname. From a peeled dirt spot
nearby Bakers small boy marveled
at his fathers prowess in stalking
the reptiles.
The day was warm and sunny
and Baker was lucky. One after an
other the rattlers began to crawl
from a crevice in rock ledge and
coil themselves in the sun. When it
appeared that all were out the man
dropped his coat near the crevice and
with long pole pushed it into the
opening. That was the way he had
planned 1.-THE snakes couldn't get
back inside.
Then with the long, stout pole
Baker went to work on the army of
snakes. When he could find no more
he pushed them together into pile.
counting as he did it. He had killed 65
rattlesnakes.
Bakers small boy broke for the
church to tell everybody the good
news and when he got there it broke
up the meeting. "Oh, dads killed 6
pile of snakes! Dads killed a pile o
snakes" he yelled and everybod,

there started for the rocks to see
them.
Old accounts relate that about Is
years ago the vicinity of Poland,
along yellow creek, Mahoning
County, was thickly infested with a
peculiar breed of rattlesnakes called
by the Indians Massasauga. They
usually were black or dark brown,
II to IA inches long and proportion
ately thick and had only three or four
rattleS.
The MaSsasauga appeared to be
confined to the tamarck and cram
berry swamps and when basking in
the sun looked like short, broken,
dirty sticks or twigs, smeared with
| the mud over which they crawled.
Their bite was not very venomous
and because the snakes lived in
secluded places few persons were
bitten. They were much feared by the
people of the neighborhood neverthe-
less.
In pioneer Summit County Mrs.
John Campbell placed her small child
on the floor with a cup of milk and
a spoon, closed the door and went to
a neighboring cabin to borrow live
Goals for a fire. When she returned
she looked through the window and
saw a big yellow rattlesnake coiled
beside the child tapping up some OF
the milk it had spilled on the floor.
Just as the child reached with the
spoon to feed the rattler some of the
milk the mother screamed and the
huge reptile disappeared through a
crack in the floor. When Campbell
got home he raised plank in the
floor and killed the snake. The child
was not bitten.
In Mercer County Anthony Shane
halfbreed Indian, was credited as
being witch doctor for snake bites
He always killed a black cat and
applied the flesh to the wound and the
cure usually worked, old accounts
relate. Once when hunting medicinal
herbs for a sick horse John Suttor
was bitten in the foot by spotted
rattlesnake. His foot was buried il
the ground as first aid and Anthony
Shane was sent for. When Shane
got there no black cat was to bt
found SO he killed black CHECKER
and applied the flesh to Sutton's foot
On the third application the foot wa
pronounced cured
2, Rattlesnakes were said never t
bite unless scared or molested an

the copperheads, were less consider
