Dear Mrs. Kicker:

Dear Mrs. Kicker:

me but at our age l don't

meaning of love. / cry over
him constantly but I don't
love him.

but 81 don't want 10 hurt
him. 1 couldn't face my
family II I did break up
with him because they
adore him. l can't talk II
over with my parents or
sister because they don't
understand how I feel.
Please publish my letter as
soon as possible and try 10

being trapped In a situation
which you are not emotion

blame. Just because they
approve OF the boy. they
should not encourage you TO
go steady with him. At your
age, whatever limited dating
you do should be with two
or three nice boys and in
groups.
My advice is this: Talk 10
The boy and tell him you are
fond Of him but you think
you are too young To 70

Now, about not kissing on
a first date. I have already
discussed the subject with
two large groups Of teen
ayers whom / sponsor. This
is not a rule" or "regula-
tion" of mine. 1t has been
adopted as proper dating be-
havior by the majority OF
teens themselves-and I be-
lieve they are right.
Kissing is considered a way
OF expressing affection and
II is obvious that real affec-
ton is hardly possible on a
first date. In other words,
Jack, 1t takes time 10 get
acquainted with people. A
girl with good Judgment
would not consider telling a
first date intimate details
about her personal life, 10
why should she become in
volved In something as in
innate as kissing?

Out On Some Limbs
You Can Win
20 in Cash
By Fiji GORSKA
Editor Of TEEN

Did you ever wonder what some celebrities legs
look like?
You may have seen these persons on teevision
or in the movies or heard their voice on records or
on the radio. You may have seen their pictures in
the newspapers and magazines-but still you
wonder: What do their legs look likeP
You'll notice in some movies that the camera is
careful not to focus on some actresses legs. And
newspapers and magazines often crop pictures so
that headshotS are what you end up seeing AS for
men, most times their legs covered in customary
If not custom made, trousers.
So we dug little in picture files and found some
legs that are often hidden from the publc's view.
We also found some that are often IN the pubic's
view.
Teen-agers have always been an observant
bunch. Nows the time to see what kind of "leg men"
they How we'll have the teen-agers been check
ing their national figures?
Just because some of the legs pictured are so far
removed from what even teen-ager might imagine,
there's hint under each photograph.
So get busy and see If you can match the names
below to the legs The teen-age winner will get
$40 The first teen-ager chats somebody IS through
19 who correctly identifies the legs will win In case
of a tie, the earliest postmark on the envelope and
the deciding factors.
The entry blank for the leg contest is in the
lower left hand corner of this page Clip it. Fill 1t
out and mail to TEEN in care of The Star, Wash
ington 8, D. C.
Maybe you'll win $40 for Identifying the legs
Here's your chance to make up for some of that
bread you put out during the holidays For 500 your
guess may be better than anybody else's.
The names Of the leg owners are in the follow
ing list. Match the correct name with the legs
and $40 will be yours. Happy picking!

In addition, Secretary Nc.
Namara has only begun X
twist European arms to gel

NATO conventional force. Here
he can expect opposition from
others besides France.
Canadian Problem
Closer to home Is the Cana
dian problem. Prime Minister
Diefenbaker, who was a sort
Of forgotten man at Nassau
approved the Kennedy admin
istration'S opposition to pro-
liberation of nuclear weapons
and 1t must have looked to him
like . vindication of his policy
of refusing to accept United
States controlled nuclear arms
on Canadian soil.
Then the frustrated State
Department, which had been
living quietly for years with
Canada's refusal to honor its
commitments to take nuclear
weapons in the common de-
Tense. suddenly attacked the
Diefenbaker government in a
public statement. Secretary of
State Rusk apologized two days
later but the Diefenbaker gov
eminent fell amid cries of
United States interference"
Secretary Rusk, summing up
the first two years Of the Ad-
ministration's activities in the
foreign field In a recent speech,
touched only lightly the trou-
bles in the NATO Alliance. He
emphasized instead the hopes
for developing military and
economic cooperation on q
satisfactory basis. Even his
critics share that assessment.
Rusk Cites Record
In the rest Of the world. Mr..
Rusk claimed this two-year
record for the Kennedy Ad-
ministration:
LaOs-Threat of a Red take
over has been STAYED off-a plus
which his critics would not dis
pute.
South Wet Nam-Increased
United States effort has caused
guerrillas to "be losing ground. +"
MANY observers on the scene
doubt that there has been
either gain or loss in the
struggle there, despite the in
creasing American effort.)
C0ng0-Mr. Rusk claimed
American policies have kept
communism out and laid the
foundation for economic re-
covery and political stability"
but skeptics we're not ready to
concede him so much. They also
criticized United States and
United Nations interference,

militarily and politically in the
internal affairs Of the Congo.
West Berlin-The Secretary
noted modestly that West Ber-
lin continues to thrive in
freedom" without mentioning
his own considerable role In
keeping the Russians talking
about Berlin for most of his
two years in office instead Of
acting as they threatened.
Cuba-Secretary Rusk re-
sisted the temptation to boast
about the Kremlin backdown
last october but claimed Cuba
will not become . base for
offensive military operations
against other countries Of this
he misphere." Castro, he
claimed, Is on q decline. Stili,
Soviet influence has greatly In
creased in Cuba In the past two
years and Republicans have
concentrated most Of their fire
on the Cuban problem.
Alliance Fer Progress - Mr..
Rusk touched only lightly on
this program for economic and
social aid to Latin America
which has been one of the
great disappointments of the
Kennedy administration. Few
countries have been willing to
take the stern measures Of
nation-building the President
requires before American aid
could be we'll used.
Nuclear test ban--Mr. Rusk
avoided mention Of the hard
negotiations his associates have
conducted with the Soviet
Union. The nuclear powers may
be nearer agreement than ever
before, but whether this is good
or bad could well become q
matter Of major dispute in the
months ahead.
There were many who feared
that too many concessions were
being made to the Soviet posi-
ton to make the test ban eff
fective In stopping Soviet nu-
clear development. Others,
however, saw 1t as q first step
toward the dream of disarm-
ament.
For as devoted q practitioner
Of quiet diplomacy as Mr.. Rusk,
certainly the noisy quarrels
with Americas allies as 1868
opened were incidents he would
have strived hard to avoid.

our house and all the fur
nishings. This will bring our
total savings close to $4,000.
We think that then we would
like to start out in the car
with no particular destina-
ton and with only one trav-
cling bag each. When we ar
rive in a place that appeals
to us we can stay in an
apartment until such time as
as the appeal wears off or we
decide to stay. In our travels
we will inspect the various
homes for the aged, with an
eye to our ultimate residence.
Since our income is ade-
quate, we are thinking of
spending a portion of our
savings each year in our
travels until finally they will
have been spent :"
This plan comes from a
successful businessman in the
central part Of the country.
1t represents the sort of
dream most of us have for a
time, and one which retired
people without much money
must regard with wonder.
For this man, and others
thinking along the same

out that the plan this man
