Going Steady Dilemma Blooms During the Summer By Paula Going steady during the school year may be the perfect answer for making the social scene. During the summer, however, it often puts a chill on a festive and warm season. The sad refrain, going steady but. is the theme song of both under twenty boys and girls whose vacations are hampered by the steady who around. What happens is this.

Steady couples are broken up at least temporarily, by conflicting vacations. Sometimes the separation lasts all summer, sometimes a few weeks and sometimes only on weekends when one or the other goes away with the family. The result Is boredom, loneliness, missed fun or a sense of guilt over a stolen date with somebody else. All too often the frustrations of such a summer are too much for a couple and the end result is a frosty atmosphere when they meet in September. Yet.

for two sensible, reasonable people the summer have to spell disaster. A logical solution lies in a combination of freedom and mutual trust. And, the time to solve it is before the problem develops, not afterwards. If you are steady and want to avoid the summer doldrums you should have a discussion with your partner now to set the ground rules which will permit a pleasant vacation. Agree to date and let date.

That way both have the freedom to enjoy the summer as it should be enjoyed while you are separated. By being open and honest with each other about summer dat ing develop a deep trust in your relationship. During vacation, interest ing visitors to your town may present dating opportunities. Being free to date them as well, can be both interesting and broadening. If you are reasonable these dates break up a steady couple.

A good relationship be destroyed by a few summer dates. Such dates can help each of you to grow a bit more as an individual and you may well find that a free summer vacation from each other has tied your bonds even tighter U. S. Senator Charges Baker Whitewash Washington Sen. John J.

Baker, a former associate of President Johnson, resigned Oct. 7, 1963, from his a-vear Senate post after Williams and others raised questions about his outside business dealings. The politically explosive investigation conducted by the rules committee disclosed that Baker had built a claimed fortune of more than 2 million dollars before he resigned.
