Practically of the teen-agerS concede that the
United Nations might be threat to national patriotism,

building a better world

HIS MONEY WON'T BUY HIM DATES

driving your offspring around
has just acquired his first
driving license is not very
comforting either. So I can
readily understand why so
many parents are worried
when their youngsters first
start car dating.
However, there comes a
time when parents have to
allow their teen-agers to try
their wings. Those who have
had proper training at home
and have been taught to
choose their friends wisely
seldom become involved in
headline accident stories.
Most teen-age girls start
car dating at about Is. Cen
orally speaking, I think this
is all right IF a girl has
proven she is trustworthy
and IF her parents know and
approve of her dates as in
dividuals and as properly Ii
cenSed drivers. From your
brief description of yourself
I would say that you prob
ably measure up to the above
Qualifications for car dat

introduce a boy to my par
ents. Thank you!
Dear Evie:
There is nothing difficult
about making introductionS If
you will remember these two
rules. When introducing q
couple always mention the
girls name FIRST, and when
introducing older to younger
people, always mention an
older persons name FIRST.
For example: "Sally this is
Jack Brown"-(then to Jack)
sally johnson" Mother Cor
dad) this is Jack Brown"
There is no need to mention
your parents last name unless
it is not the same as your own.
In sucn a case you should say,
Mother, this is Jack Brown"
(and to Jack) my mother.
Mrs. King"
I have a leafiet, How to
Work Magic With Manners"
which explains how to handle
introductions and other social
situations which seem to bother
teen-agers. If you would like
to have it, just send a stamped,
self-addreSSed envelope with
your request to me in care of
this newspaper.

Dear Mrs. Kicker:

Dear Mrs. Kicker:
/ am an 18-year-Old boy
and / have a '58 convert
: ible and a good job. l don't
mean to sound cOnceited
but / have been told l am
very good looking. My
problem is that every girl
1 have ever dated will not
60 out with me after the
first date.
/ take them everywhere
they want to go and spend
quite a bit of money, some
times as much as five dol
lars. I've tried all kinds
Of techniques but they still
won't go out with me the
second time. The last time
I took a girl out l fell in
love with her. That night
1 spent $40 on her and
didn't mind it a bit. L
would like to ask her out
again but I'm afraid she
will refuse like all the
others. Will you please
help me?
MORT.
You seem to be confused
about what it takes to be
an interesting date. Having
a car, and money to spend,
is helpful when it comes to
dating, but a date still can
be very dull if there is
something lacking in the in
dividual.
There are many boys who
are not really good looking,

Mrs. Ricker's mail

do not have a car or much
money for dates, but the
girls think they are tops
just the same.
According to my mail, a
boy who has a nice per-
sonality, good manners, a
good reputation, one who is
clean, fun to be with and
knows how to treat a girl
is rated higher as a date
by the average girl than a
boy who has only material
things to offer. ! suggest
you check yourself on all
these points.
You see, Mort, we cannot
buy true affection or respect
and I believe that may be
where you are making your
mistake-your sense of values
is topsy-turvy.
I have a self-quiz, "How
Do You Rate AS A Date?"
which I believe will help you.
It is free! Just send a

DO TEEN-AGERS SUPPORT THE u. N?
By EUGENE GILBERT
Gilbert Youth Research Co.

Who's discouraged about the United Nations?
Not Americas teen-agerS.
Nearly a thousand of them, questioned by our young
investigators in Nationwide survey have told three
to one, that they think the organization is making
progress.
They feel it has, and will continue to assist in
efforts to bring world peace and strongly that the
United States should continue to support it.
Although only quarter of them expressed any
preference for u N work. 46 per cent of the
boys actually state they would be willing to serve in
U. N. police force.

TEACHERS SAY SCHOOL GANGS ARE RARE

They're far vicious and sadistic. Cyrus

They have unworthy detectives and acleguidance"

"An are not harmful but some seem to thrill at re-

"They cannot be controlled, their behavior is I'M
practicable" *. E Wright, Provo, Utah.
Their presence prohibits development OF lndlVldual
thinking"-C j. Olson, Green Bay, Wis.

resort to daeS indicates their motivation Numbers make

clobbering them.
Here are some typical answers to the question How
do you think youth gangs can best be combattedP'

For some reason not explained in the survey COM
ments small town schools seem more prone to adopting
regulations against gangs than big city schools
For instance when it came to rules against wearing
gang Jackets in class SIS per cent of the small town
schools had adopted such regulations compared with
only Al per cent of the metropolitan schools.
In any case, the important thing, 1t seems Is thaS
action of some kind has taken in the areas where
it was and is needed The problem, though smaller than
most folks think, has not been Ignored.

From time to time, people tend to dismiss the teen

thing you can do is to avoid
her since she is not satisfied

Not Many Exist

In national survey of nearly 900 school teachers,
we find that only per cent have encountered any KIND
of gang problem in their schools The survey was con-
Quoted in both large metropolSes and small towns and
covered teachers in all grades
On the other hand few teachers diSSented from the
view that the modern teenage where 1t does exist
is far more sinister entity than the boys clubs that
muShroomed in past generations.
Undoubtedly few of prevention explains
the absence gangs the schools of 95 per cent OF the
teachers interviewed Nearly half of them-45 per cent
saw their schools already rules against wearing gang
land Jackets sideburnS military belts and other outward
signs of gang membership.
Were the rules helpful in controlling the problem?
Yes answered 40 per cent, compared with only per
cent who thought the rules did more harm than good
The rest didn't know.
Proper dress engenders proper conduct says

logical suggestions I might
offer. However. because you
are fond of this boy. I doubt
that you dated others for
very long.
MY advice is-don't be so
available. When he does get
around to asking for a date
why not be "busy' several
times in a row? 1t might
give him a jolt to realize
you do not intend to become
a bowling widow" While
bowling is a fine sport it is
possible to get tired of doing
most anything if we do it
ALL the time.
So, I suggest you give the
boy a little more time to lose
some of his enthusiasm for
his hobby. When you do see
him. give him the impression
you have been having a WON
derful time and haven't
missed him. Above all, don't
nag. He might suddenly de-
eide that bowling every night
isn't so much fun after all.
Try tit just might work!
Good luck!

Handy Gipson Was
Last Weeks Barber

Last weeks old photo, showing
an unidentified Negro barber
standing in the doorway of his
shop, has been tracked down by
several readers as that of Handy
Gibson, who operated a barber
shop prior to 1890 on Railroad
street in Oakland.
In the advertising columns of
local newspapers of the period,
Mr. Gibson advcrtiscs his services
as Handy Gibson, shaving, hair
cutting, &C.
From a newspaper clipping of
July IL, 1889, we find that James
son and Shartzer have built a
walk extending from the depot
platform near Gibsons Barber
Shop to their store"
The spelling of the name in the
various newspaper references
varies from Gibson to "Gipson,'
and it is believed the latter to
be correct.
Mr.. Gibson Tor Gipson) did not
enjoy the new walkway for long,
however In August of the same
year, under the heading, Death
of Handy Gipson," we read:
Handy GIBSON, colored,. the well
known barber of Oakland, died at
Johns Hopkins University Hospital,
Baltimore, on Monday, August 5th,
at 8 p. m. Deceased was at the
hospital under treatment for can
Ger of tongue and throat. The can
Ger was successfully removed on
July q, and he stood a good
chance of recovery, and on the
morning of the 5th inst He wrote
a private letter to a friend in
Oakland stating that he was in a
fair way to recover. But at 6
O'Clock Monday he became worse
and died from the swelling of
the CLOTHS. He was about 40 years
old, and had been resident of
