Dear Henry : f Since I got a job at the neighbourhood drugstore {after school and week ends) my father has decided that I must pay for clothes, entertainment and books. Is this fair? I waned to save the money. I am 15. should also start to share in his upkeep. Pay for half of your entertainment. But that‘s all! I am a girl of 16 who has never been kissed by a boy. I have had quite a few dates but have never been kissed. Most of my friends have been kissed at one time or another. Is there anything wrong with me? There is one group of people opposed to making gambling legal everyâ€" where: The Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce! Dear Henry : _ The results are often wery pathetic. Dear Kissless: Gambling like everyâ€" thing else is OK if it is within sober limits. But many people think that they were chosen by gamâ€" bling machines to win and so they try . . . and try aâ€" gain and again. Dear Henry : I don‘t think that gambling is bad at all. I think that people who are against gambling are money lickâ€" ing tightwads. People aren‘t forced to gamble. They do it on their own free will. I think that everyone would like to see gambling made legal, everywhere. t LAS VEGAS Dear Las Vegas: It was here that he was treatâ€" ed with dignified hospitality, sharing the meager meal of "‘large yellow beans cooked in water.

At times Griffin felt the menace so strongly in the very air around, that he feared for bis own life. It was on one such night that he found himâ€" self alone in a Mississippi swamp with nothing to eat, noâ€" where to stay. A venomous white man had given him a yide only for the purpose of obscene curiosity and venting his own race hatred, climaxing his tirade with the threat : "We kill you niggers, toss your bodâ€" ies in the swamp, and nobody knows the difference." In the fall of 1959 an Amerâ€" fean writer John Griffin underâ€" took a personal assignment. Disâ€" tressed and curious about the Negro‘s life in the Southern States, Griffin decided he would find out for himself in the best way possible â€" by being one. In New Orleans he located a doctor who agreed, though dubâ€" jously, to give him the necessary medication to darken his skin. From there on he walked, hitch hiked and roge buses through Alabama, Mississippi and Georgâ€" ia, fihding rooms in the colored part of town*in cheap hotels, boarding houses and in the simâ€" ple, desperately poor homes of megroes who took him in when there was nowhere else to stay. by CLARA BERNHARDT "Black Llike Meâ€"" When a son starts to earn his own money he K@ haelgr rY From _ _ ,, Where I Sit ‘"‘Why haven‘t I yet been kissed?"
