Mr. Boyer said the main question confronting people today concerns the course Ws country will pursue.

The speaker emphasized the duty of all as American citizens to write to congressmen and tell how they feel about the matter.

Mr.

Boyer also dealt with the possibility of attack here in America, stating, "The European people believe Russia will attack America before they will overrun Western Europe." Mr. Boyer asserted, "Our foreign policies have been mapped for years without the influence of enlightened public opinion. "Our people have ignored foreign affairs, leaving them up to state department and administration, too often in recent years headed or influenced by international lawyers, brokers and communist influenced intellectuals." He continued, "Our present policies have been seeking to bring about world peace, in effect, the brotherhood of man, by means of politics and economics dollar bills. instead of through religion, the basis of our western culture. Brotherhood of man is spiritual, and cannot be brought about except through religion, spiritual means." The speaker defined isolationism and intex'nationalism, the present issue, as expressed by former President Hoover, who advocated withdrawing support from western Europe unless west Europe shows its cooperative spirit by raising a strong army "before we send our troops over."

Writing to the boy while lie's away Wouldn't do any harm that I can see as long as ou keep your letters full of 'til you get home for serious stuff." Your letters could cheer him and keep him in touch with home. If you could convince yourself, that you should wait and see, too, you might get your family's permission more easily to correspond with him.

And that waiting would leave you" free to date boys your family likes better. Holding everything would give you time to make up your own mind, would give you time to with and understand your family's point of view about a future husband for you, and would help you get your own standards straight.

It didn't go over one bit with Bill, my steady boy friend for three years. He asked me to stop writing and I did for a long time, but I kept getting letters and pictures from this boy and I didn't see any harm in answering as I've never seen him. I received a letter today saying he was on his way to Korea and that he was sending me his radio to keep. I don't know whether I should tell Bill or not. It's too late to keep my pen pal from sending it lie really should have sent it to his folks.

So what should I do I certainly don't want another fuss with Bill." Your pen pal and his pictures and his possessions mean nothing to you in comparison to your Bill; so don't let them cause any more fusses. When the radio arrives ship it on to your pen pal's folks if you know theft- address. Say nothing about it to Bill since keeping it will be no problem to you. It should therefore be no problem to worry Bill. If your pen pal writes again, write him just once more to tell him that the radio arrived and that you've done with it since you really can't keep it and why.

That will end that correspondence as a problem, WAIT AND SEE DEAR MISS WOODWARD "A year ago I started going with this boy and we went steady for six months. He's 18 and I'm 17. My patents don't like him though, they don't know him very well. He's in Korea now and my parents won't let me write to him. We're planning to marry when he gets home and when I get through school this year.

When I get a letter from him my folks won't let me have it until they read it first. What can I do to i make them see it my way?" When you get that serious over a boy it's really a family affair. Talk of getting married and all that ought to be with their, blessing. So why not talk IBCOG! FRESH PORK SAU SAGE FRESH PORK SAUSAGE GROUND BEEF Fr BEEF STEAKS EASIEST POSSIBLE TERMS!
