She also reported receipts received for gifts sent to the Heart Foundation. Under the chairmanship of retiring president Chris Mills, plans were made to welcome the newly confirmed youth as members of the League at the next meeting, which will take the form of a hayride and cook- out. The topic for the evening was presented by Pastor A. C. Black - by using a film strip and re- cording, "This Is the Mark", •depicting Christian concern for the needs of people in a rapidly changing world in which big- ness of farming, industry, leg- islative programs, and even big- ness of church, tends to dwarf man's significance.

I am DEAR DORIS — For years I only five foot three inches, but have greatly admired young women who have the ambition and qualities for entering beau- ty contests. I recently finished an inspiring book by Miss America of 1965, too. I know events like these have been greatly glamorized, yet it has always been my secret yearn- ing to enter one.

I used to (and still do, I'm afraid) suffer from a personality that is more intro- vert than extroverted. Such an involvement as this might bring me out of my shell. At first I felt very cheeky about writ in g you regarding this, but my interest will only be appeased with your reply. I hope I have not sounded un- duly conceited. Business Girl DEAR GIRL—If you couldn't swim, would you dive into deep water as a good way of learn- ing? A beauty contest calls for the ultimate in poise and self-confi- dence. Don't do it; if you failed you'd be devastated. Start with some easy ways to learn sociability; learn about posture and good grooming; with a year of coaching, learn- ing deportment and how to mix with ease, you might be ready next year.

Well, I'm here to tell brother a clear view of the ridiculosity of many of our moral, social, political and economic fairy tales. model Don Quixote who tilts at windmills with a typewriter, forces flowers on strange ladies, and thinks of life and love in capital letters. He's a literary burglar and a bellowing non- conformist. Interesting fellow. But he has a couple of blind spots. Be hates the educational system and has a blatant con- tempt for today's young people. Sounds psychological. Perhaps he was turfed out of school, or dropped out, or had some rotten teachers. But he despises the whole business. For him, the educational sys- tem is a vast, soul -less monolith, whose sole aim is to crush the spirit of youth, indoctrinate it with all the wrong ideas, and fail to teach it anything about LIFE. He's great on LIFE. For him( teachers are a bunch of dull clods, whose only de- sire is to stuff kids with useless information and promptly squelch any signs of initiative or creativity. For him, modern students system for the benefit of the students. Sure, teachers are dull clods. Some of them. Just as some doctors, lawyers, ministers and columnists are dull clods. But the great majority work their heads to the bone, shoving, urg- ing, exhorting, encouraging and leading the youngsters to adult- hood. And the students? Are they a sad, beaten crowd, cowed by authority, eager for security. afraid to think for themselves? This is what Mr. Needham, with his Victorian view of schools, would have us believe. Hah! A few are. But the majority are just the opposite. They are rebellious, daring, adventurous, and just busting to have a whirl at life, as youngsters have been since the time of Socrates. Right now my son, who is 19, is either hitch -hiking across Canada, on his way home, or headed for Mexico. We're not sure. Right now, my daughter who is 15, is belting out folk songs which she wrote herself, to keep her mina off her sore ears, She had them pierced yesterday, for earrings. And right now, all over town, 1,200 kids from our high school are ignoring their homework and watching TV, or shooting pool, or gassing on the phone, or falling in love, or riding mo- torcycles. They're certainly not cowed by authority, or squelch- ed by the system, or indoc- trinated by anything, except human nature. Don't be naive, Mr. Needham...

My husband put me in the back seat and puts the company in the front seat with him. This burns me up. I think my place is in the front seat with my husband and the company in the back seat. Just why should I take a back seat to anyone? Please give me your opinion on this. Mad DEAR MAD — It's all the way you look at it. If ,the visitor is an older woman, you act the gracious hostess in seating her up front. If it's a man, why not all three of you coil packed in the front? When your guests are an- other couple, the men are often in front, the girls behind where they can talk woman -talk. I'm betting it's the way hubbie does it which makes you ; feel you are figuatively taking a back seat, as well as literally. Talk 'it out with him. DEAR DORIS—Where could I get a child's coaxer for people who are very round-shouldered like me? Please do help me. Next week I'm going to a dance where I must wear a formal and just think what I'll look like in it! Roond•Shouidered DEAR ROUND-SHOULDERED —Is a child's coaxer the same as shoulder braces? If so, you'll find them in a drug store or a mail order catalogue. But improvements in -posture, come slowly, as muscles and tis- sues have to be retrained or reshaped. Practice in walking erectly, exercises for chest de- velopment, all help. Could there be a medical rea- son for your round shoulders? Ask your doctor. And when he O.K.s an exercise program, or the use of braces, you'll be on your way to an improvement.
