they're ready. Since I receive
many letters from boys, I can
tell you some Of the things
which nice boys like and dis
like about girls. They like
girls who are natural, attrac-
tive, poppy, congenial, enthu-
Siastic. conSiderate, good con-
versationalists, good listeners
and good sports. They like
girls who have poise, nice
dispositions, good regulations
and a sense of fair play, and
those who are clean, dress
neatly and know how to use
makeup correctly.
Nice boys do not like girls
who are overly possessive,
loud, cheap, affected, selfish,
boy-chaSers, date-breakers,
two-timers or show-offs. If
my young male readers have
anything else to add to this
list, I will be glad to include
1t in a future column.

TEENS ANSWER
Are Diaries
Dangerous?
By DANIEL POOLE
Editor of TEEN

This week. 18-year-old Ann Messer of Alexandria
began writing her fifth book. She admits it can be
dangerous assignment.
Like her other books, this sequel will have 365
chapters She faithfully writes chapter day. And she
hopes her book will have only one reader-herself.
The title Of her book, similar to that of other
teen-age authors, IS Dear Diary 1852"
For Ann, and many other teen-agers in the Wash
ington area, the beginning of year marks the
renewal of this old practice-keepng written record
Of lfe's events.
But the hazards of keeping diary, the teen-agers
agree, range from chuckles and bushes when you re-
read it yourself to embarrassment when someone else
chances upon this private book.
Sometimes you may have to chase your little brother
to retrieve this document of innermos thoughts you
may lose the key and be locked out yourself And there
could time in teen-age circles, when you might
be called upon to read page in public.

She adds, "Not too many of my friends keep diaries,
and hardly any of the boys But don't see why they
don't They're filled with many things you want to
remember in the years to come"

against them for street and

Hardest hit were residents of
Glen Hills, where new roadways
and other street work will cost
them over 100000.
Here, the front-foot benefit
levy runs to over $1,000 for
some individual homeowners.
while a community developer
holding substantial land will be
tagged for over $14,3OO.
Other communities whose
householders will be assessed
include Forest Glen Homes and
Forest Grove, Ashburton and
Rock Creek Palisades, as well as
property owners along Dennis
ave. and adjoining streets in
Silver Spring, where the bill
came to just under $4,000.
The assessments are payable
