DEAR ABBY

DEAR ABBY: I think the
parent planned marriages
like they had in the old
country years ago should be-
come a custom In this coun-
try. Why not let the girls
marry at Is and finish their
education In an all-married-
girls high school? 1t would
save q lot Of wear and tear
on parents who have q tough
time keeping their daughters
in line. MRS. G.
Marriage Is for mature
pe0ple--nOt children. Grant
ed, some mature people make
q poor choice, but the key TO
keeping daughters in line Is
not wedlOck. When q girl
marries she should be ma
ture enough to make a home
for her husband and to rear
any children that follow.
Mixing schOOIbOOks with milk
bottles and bills Is for the
birds.
DEAR ABBY: Just exactly
what is an engagement ring
supposed to mean, and how
long should an engagement
last? I got an engagement
ring two years ago Christmas
and so far my boy friend has
made no plans for our future.
When I ask him to help me
set q wedding date, he finds
q hundred excuses. The main
one is that he is in debt. It
Is no wonder, the way he
spends money before he gets
it. Should / give him his
ring back or wait some mofep
am ~ and he is "a.
LONG ENGAGED.
Before you make that de-
cision, collar your boy friend
and ask him what his plans
for the future are. II he has
nOne-and doesn't want TO
make any-it means he Is not
seriously considering mar

New 'Crusoe'
Glad to Flee
Tropical Isle

PARIS (NANA). - Have
you ever dreamed, especially
in midwinter. Of getting away
from 1t all to your own trop-
ical island in the sun?
Well. before you paddle off.
listen to the sad story Of
Georges de Cannes Of the
French National Radio
Service.
Forty three year old
Georges talked his employers
into letting him try q Robin
son Crusoe existence for one
year on an uninhabited Pa
cific island.
And how long did his idyll
last2 just a few months ago
he stepped ashore on the
dazzling white beach Of Eiao,
a coral island in the Mar
quesas with his dog Elder. His
stores were unloaded, he built
q palm leaf hut and once a
day he sent a five-minute
broadcast on his portable ra-
dio transinitter to the people
back home in winterbound
France.
But alas, Georges soon
found ne was no natural
born Crusoe. There was too
much sun and the heat
Slapped his energy. There were
too many rocks-he sprained
an ankle and cut his feet.
There was too much coral
he kept losing his fishhooks
and anyway the fish he did
catch upset his stomach.
There was even too much sea
it got into his fresh water
supply.
He found he wasn't able to
live off the land as he'd
hoped and his reserve Of pro-
visions began to run low.
When the chief medical Of
ficer Of the Marquesas called
after four months to see how
he was getting along, he
found a very sick man who
had lost IS pounds in weight,
and promptly shipped him off
to the hospital on the main
island of the group.
Georges is still recovering
there and as soon as he's fit
enough he'll return - CRATE
fully - to the rain and cold
Of France.
Oh, there was one bright
spot. The dog Elder loved 1t
and came off the island,
sleek, hard and twice as fit
as when he went.

Ferry System Brings $98,862 In Three Months

JUNEAU R - The state ferry system carried 8,760 passengers and 1,014 vehicles during the three month period ending April 30, Public Works Commissioner Rich ard Downing said today.
 The traffic averages out to 365 passengers and APP vehicles for each of the 22 round trips com pleted by the Malaspina during that time and the two round trips completed by the Taku.
 Total passenger and vehicle revenue during the period through April 30, Downing said, Wa s $98,862.
 Al Ritchie, traffic manager for the Marine Highway System, said traffic between Panhandle con- munities, by residents of the area, has run far higher than expected.
 "It has been tremendous, he said. People are just riding the ferries to be riding them.
 All along the system, people are talking about catching the ferry for a weekend trip or for a visit to the next town"
 Ritchie said inter community travel had exhausted what the Marine Transportation Division had planned on being a full years supply of tickets for Skagway, Wrangell and Petersburg.
 Downing said that with the tour ist season picking up and the Haines Cutoff open to travel, there has been an increase in through northbound traffic from Prince Rupert to Haines and SkagWay.
 Ritchie attributed much of the inter-community travel on the fer ries during their first three months of operation to four events
 These were the Southeast AL aska High School Basketball Tour nament at Ketchikan and the Gold M e d a l Basketball Tournament State Women's Bowling Tourna- ment and Southeast Alaska Music Festival at Juneau.

all EXTRAORDINARY hIlp lively
Building. After opposing a
resolution that would have sup
ported the ''work-and-live-in-
Washington" legislation, the
federation adjourned for the
summer.
The federation's Committee
on Law and Legislation had
asked delegates to the advisory
group to support a bill intro
duced last April by Representa-
tive Schwengel, Republican OF
Iowa. The measure would re-
quire all new District govern
ment workers to live within the
boundaries OF the city.
1t was assumed by the COM
mittee that the federation
would back such legislation
since the group recently went
on record as favoring another
measure that would make it
mandatory for "policy-making
officials" to reside in the city.
Heated Debate
However, after a heated and
lengthy debate. the delegates
voted 20-l9 against supporting
the bill. Before the vote, several
delegates expressed alarm that
such legislation would lower
the quality of District en-
ployes" by eliminating outsiders
from equal job opportunities.
In other action, the fedora
