nut Miss Lloyd's mind at
rest by assuring her that the
"stone-age" behavior that she

certainly not condoned by
the teen-agers Of Alexandria,

SO low an opinion. She is, no
doubt, a Yankee.
Dear Miss Lloyd. If / may
be so bold, exactly which

recommend that I consult?

Hynan Rickover. father Of
the nuclear powered sub:
Booth Harrington. the
celebrated American author:
George Washin gton. the
father Of our country;
Waslaw Nijinsky, the greatest
male ballet dancer Of all time.

can see that one is not re-

Top Tunes of the week in

However. I'm sure there

selection Of those tunes.
How are they rated by the
disc jockeys? Are they rated
by the number of records
sold, or by the number Of re-
quests to hear them on the
radio? Or could it be the
disc jockey that makes q
record popular?
