What is 1t like to be a
teen-ager in Ireland?
ITS a lot different from

in Ansonia, Conn.

that opportunities there were
limited, so she came here to
try her luck.
At 10, she wants TO learn
shorthand and tipping. two
subjects that are considered
special coul ses in Ireland and
taught only in convent
schools.

was overwhelmed to see teen
ayers here with their own
cars. She used to ride SIX
miles on her bike to school.

Peggy.
She misses the dances.

Elvis Presley or Pat Boone.
Girls wear dresses or skirts
and blouses for most occas-
sions. Blue jeans and Ber-
muda shorts are out Of order.
Peggy likes her new life,
and has had little difficulty
in adjusting TO 1t. She looks
and acts like other American
teen-agers. She does miss her
family and her home and
would like to have her sisters
with her, but she definitely
would like. to stay here.
Once she decided to come
to America. it took a lot Of
determination to board the

DEAR ABBY: We have a
very stingy aunt who accepts
dinner invitations from all
the relatives, but never in
vites anyone to her home.
Last Christmas she won a
turkey in a raffle and 1t only
weighed IL pounds and she
had the nerve to invite SO
people to her house for
turkey. All she served with
it was cranberry sauce and
garlic bread. She has been
the talk of the whole family
ever since. My husband says
we should invite her anyway
and overlook her stinginess.
Do you think he is right or
not? ! say she should stay
home If she can't entertain
others like they entertain
her. She is in better financial
shape than any of the rest
of us, so that's no excuse.
A NIECE.
Life Is too short to bear a
grudge over anything so in
significant as what was
served at a party. Next time
offer to help her and talk
enough turkey to her to feed
everybody.
DEAR ABBY: ! am in a
spot and don't know what to
do. My friend 1--WE grew up
next door to each other is
getting married in November
and she asked me to be a
bridesmaid. She's been en-
gagged to this fellow for three
years and all the time she
went with him she has been
sneaking out to go with
others. I don't respect and
really don't want to be a
bridesmaid at her wedding
because I know too much
about her. She says she is
marrying him for security
and will learn to love him
after they are married. How
can I get out of being her
bridesmaid after I said yes?
ON THE SPOT
Merely growing up with
someone doesn't constitute a
friendship. Tell her you have
changed your mind-and tell
her why.

ing it.
Approximately SO percent Of the
country's $4,000 square miles is
covered with rich, unbroken virgin
forests.
An additional 20 percent is COW
cred with broken forests and an
other % percent with low forests
or abandoned agricultural land.
Until recent years the country
has had to import a high percent
age of its manufactured wood pro-
ducts.
The company's increased produc-
ton of finished lumber will add
considerably to the progress made
toward reducing these imports.
Already, the country has several
furniture and cabinet manufacture
ing plants using locally-manufac-
tured lumber species previously re-
jected by the cabinet-making in
dustry.
Providing fuel woods is another
national need served by the COM
pany. Fuelboard and charcoal are
very important products in Liber-
ia, since the country has no known
deposits of coal or oil.
The quantity of wood used for
fuel and charcoal is estimated to
be 400 to 500 times that used for
lumber.
Liberals forests contain more
than 235 species of timber ranging
from exceedingly light and soft
woods to heavy and hard woods
with an equally great range of dur
ability, color and texture.
Of these species 81 are consider
ed useful for furniture and inter
Tor trim; 27 for general carpentry,
boxes and utility veneers; 20 for
heavy and durable construction; 16

for tool handles and 20 for wood.
The Detroiters are operating on
$4,000 acres and hold option on
another $4,000. The group plans
to produce daily about 10000
board-feet of lumber suitable for
most lumber needs.
Liberals president, DR.. William
V. S. Tubman, realizing that two
of his country's most important
renewable resources are forests
and people, began program to
improve both.
In 1853 a national conservation
law was enacted. In 1865, a bu-
reau of Forest Conservation was
established in the Department of
Agriculture and Commerce.
Forestry experts helped the Re-
public set up a forestry organiza-
ton to conserve and develop it's
forest resources. Among these ex-
perts was E. w. Fobes, United
States Department of Agriculture
forester, one of the top experts
on Liberals forests. Mr.. Fobes
spent two-and-a-half years in Lii
IBERIA studying forests and help
ing the Liberian Government i'm
prove them.
Under President Tubman's lead
ership the country established, in
1866, school of forestry in the
University of Liberia. This is the
only forestry school in West At
RIGA with four-year course.
Noting these forestry advances
and President Tubman's Open
Door investment policy, Mr.. Bass
visited Liberia to explore invest
ment possibilities. The result was

The Detroiters then joined a

the Liberians.
The loan was granted to the sub
