Dear Joyce:
I definitely think all liquor should
be put away if you are to have a
teen-age party. Certainly you or
your parents would not want to be
guilty of tempting any boy or girl
to take a drink Then, too, if a
youngster went home and his par
ents learned that he had had a
drink of liquor at your home they
would blame your parents-and
rightly so.
OF course, if your friends we're
0ell-mannered they would not take
anything in your home which
wasn't offered to them. But. as you
point out, some youngsters like to
show of and might have the mis-
taken idea that it was a smart"
thing to do.

TO have shown common sense
