Louisa's Teller
Dear Louisa:
I am a girl of sixteen and I
am in* love with a boy who is
just 20. He likes me for he has
already asked me to go out with
him but I refused because I
didn’t know him very well then.
Now he doesn’t ask me to go out
anymore. This leaves me in a
spot. How can I show him I
want to go out with him? My
trouble is that I’m the kind of
girl who hasn’t the nerve to ask
a guy to go out—what shall I
do?
B C.—CONN.
Answer:
If you can have a small party
and invite him that might solve
your problem. Or if you have
the opportunity of inviting some
person to a club or school picinic
or party you could choose him.
In that way he would know that
you would really like to go with
him.
I think you are wise not to go
with strange boys until you
know something about them. So
many foolish girls pick up with
anyone who comes along and
sometimes regret it after it is
too late.
LOUISA.
Dear Louisa:
My husband died three mon
ths ago and left me a nice farm
with a good living on this farm
but my husband was a very
good manager. My son has al
ways worked with us and had a
share of the profits. He lives in
a small house not far from ours
with his wife and two small
children. I have a single daugh
ter of thirty who lives with me.
Now my son wishes me to put
the farm in his name and he
will agree to take care of me

J. L. TODD AUCTION COMPANY
302 West Third Street
Rome, Ga.—Phone 6339
Our goal is to please each and every one. In order to do
this we are beginning Friday, May 13, at 8 p.m. a new kind
of auction for Rome and surrounding cities. We have had
numerous requests for a night auction of "What-Have-You."
We will sell anything you bring. Bring what you have and
be with us. Nothing too large and nothing too small. A
right to sell or no sale. This sale will start Friday, May 13,
at 8 p.m. and each Friday hereafter at our auction building,
302 West Third Street, Rome, Ga. Call our office for further
information, Phone 6339.
CAR AUCTION
Every Saturday, 1 p.m. at our auction building, 302 West
Third Street. There is a big demand for cars and trucks. It's
true that they are cheaper, but the demand at our sale is
still great. At our last two sales we have had more buyers
than cars. If you have a car or truck you want to sell, now
is definitely the time to sell it.
Our method of selling will realize for you the biggest
dollar for your car.
When you sell at our auction we give you a turnkey job,
put the cash in your hand and furnish you a bill of sale.
If you are in the market for a car bring the money with
you. Bring your cars and trucks and be with us Saturday,
March 14, 1 p.m.
If you have property which you have been unable to sell
for it’s worth we can help you. The auction method of sell
ing property has proved to be the most satisfactory way and
there is a reason for this.
One hundred people who want the same thing will bid
against each other and the highest prices result. Often we
have been able to realize a third more for our clients than
they expected.
We can get you the most money possible for your prop
erty.
Write or call us about your selling problem.
Our method has made money for hundreds of property
owners.
You can profit by it too.
Owned and operated by Sproull Dempsey and J. L. Todd.
Reference, any bank in Rome.
SEE YOU AT THE CAR SALE SATURDAY,

and his sister for the rest of our
lives. I don’t know much about
business and can’t decide
whether this will be a good
thing to do or net. What would
you advise?
WIDOW—N. Y.
Answer:
Don’t sign away your home
and farm for you will be giving
away your freedom as well. Let
your son have a liberal share of
the profits and the promise of
the farm at your death in re
turn for building it up and
keeping it profitable for you.
If you feel that your house is
too large for you and is too
small for him it might be a
good idea to exchange homes
for a while—at least. But un
less you get along with his wife
wonderfully well and have pa
tience with children you will be
wise not to try living together.
Too many widows make the
mistake of giving away their
property to their children and
regret it bitterly later on. Your
son might die and then your
property would be left to his
children and his wife and you
would be dependent on their
bounty and good will for your
living.
Be generous but sensible.

SAVE A BREAK
If two stacked glasses be
come stuck, ease them apart
by pouring cold water in the
upper glass and standing the
lower glass in warm water. If
a stopper sticks in a bottle, try
running warm water over the
bottle.
FIRE PROTECTION TIP
If fat in a pan catches fire,
smother it with wet towels and
turn down the beat. Never pour
water on it because water will
make the fat spatter and may
spread the blaze.
STAIN PREVENTION
To prevent metal cans from
leaving stains on damp linole
um or enamel, dip the bottom
of the can in melted paraffin.
When cool and hard the paraf
fin coating will guard against
stains.
RANGE FOR PLLLETS
Take your pullets out of the
brooder and put them on the
range when they are eight
weeks old. This is also a good
time to vaccinate them for sore
head (fowl pox).
FISH PER PERSON
When buying fish steak or
fillet, allow one-third pound for
each serving; when buying
dressed fish, allow one-half
pound, and when buying whole
fish, allow one pound.

Spring Dreams of '49
KT THIS TIME last season, the
** following facts had been rather
definitely established:
The Red Sox and Yankees were
to fight out the American League
pennant race with
Tigers and Indians
in fairly close pur
suit. The Dodgers
. and Cardinals were
I to take over the
National League
race with the
I Braves always
I threatening.
This seemed to be
logical enough. No
one knew anything
p about a kid pitcher
named Gene Beard-
Ft
Grantland Rice
en and no one could guess that Lou
Boudreau and Larry Doby would
improve to any such extent as they
did. Also, no one could figure the
Cardinals would get such little help
from their rookie crop, and the
Dodgers would be scrambling
around last place long after the
season opened.
Now at least 10 clubs are indulg
ing in early March dreams of Octo
ber cash and glory. Here they are:
AMERICAN LEAGUE—Cleveland
Indians, Boston Red Sox, New York
Yankees, Philadelphia Athletics and
the Detroit Tigers.
NATIONAL LEAGUE--Bos ton
Braves, Brooklyn Dodgers, St.
Louis Cardinals, New York Giants
and the Pittsburgh Pirates, with
Chicago's Cubs hanging around the
outskirts.
There has seldom been a time
in major league history where
so many ball clubs in both
leagues could be rated with a
healthy chance to win. Some
thing unforseen can happen to
scatter them apart, but they
could also come to the wire
under two blankets.
The best ball club in the two
leagues looks to be Cleveland. The
second best club should be the Red
Sox. We are leaning heavily on that
"should be” adjunct.
THE BEST CLUB in the Nation
al League should be the Dodgers
with their speed and youth, their
quantity of strong arms and stout
legs, plus their 1948 experience. But
it will probably prove to be the
Braves again.
If Billy Southworth could win
a flag with Eddie Stanky out of
action over two months and
Warren Spahn afflicted with an
off years (for Spahn), there is
no particular reason why be
should not win again with a few
■light improvements and more
help from these two standbys.
Also, I have a fair idea that Billy
Southworth's Braves will come
north in April the best-conditioned
team in the older circuit. South
worth overlooks few bets when it
comes to getting the best out of
what he has to work with. He
wastes less time in his training
campaign than any manager 1 ever
knew.

A Dip Into the Dark
With the first day of spring train
ing less than a week away, we here
by climb out on the end ot the limb
of a palm tree which has no limbs
to speak ot
Here are our nominations for the
early October roundup that may
prevent us from seeing the Army-
Michigan football game:
AMERICAN LEAGUE—Cleveland
Indians, Boston Red Sox, New York
Yankees, Detroit Tigers, Philadel
phia Athletics, St. Louis Browns,
Chicago White Sox and the Wash
ington Senators.
NATIONAL LEAOUE-Boaton
Braves, Brooklyn Dodgers, St.
Louis Cardinals, Pittsburgh Pirates,
New York Giants, Chicago Cubs,
Philadelphia Phillies and the Cin
cinnati Reds.
You can cut out this predic
tion, if you care to. and save It
for next October.
The two raees are the toughest to
pick that I can recall in the last
two decades. Lou Boudreau’s
Cleveland Indians are better
equipped than anyone else to win
the American League pennant.
Arizona fightes to save rich
land from reverting to desert.
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS
r
through the medium of the
Screen Actors Guild, are pro
testing the trend toward Ameri
can production of films abroad,
particularly in England, insist
ing that “every Englishman who
works on an American-financed
picture there means one worker
out of a job here.’’
Who yearns for the “good old
days?” Not Judy Garland, who
is playing in “The Good Old
Summertime.” She has to wear
long, ruffled undergarments,
several petticoats and a wasp
waisted skirt. Her blouse has
long, mutton-leg sleeves. Her
hair is twisted round and
around and over assorted puffs
and rats and held in place with
so many hairpins that her head
feels like a pincushion.”
Robert Ryan, who is schedul
ed to pt-jy John J. Ryan, of the
New York police department, in
“Gravesend Bay,” the $500,000
armored car robbery story, was
formerly a police inspector. In
the film, he will be a Deputy
Police Commissioner.
Johnny Farrow hired an ex
pert to teach Hedy Lamar, Ray
Milland, Mona Freeman and
Macdonald Carey how to square
dance for “Copper Canyon.”
However, so many others show
ed up for free lessons, the stars
of the picture scarcely got a
chance to twirl a skirt, or swing
a partner. Square dancing, by
the way, is taking the whole
country by storm.
Word comes that “Samson
and Delilah” won’t be released
until sometime in 1950. That
seems an awfully long time to
wait.

After that, we all hope he and
Bob Hope will do another “road
picture.”
Speaking of Hope, he’s making
his second personal appearance
tour within two months, doing
25 shows in 21 cities in 16 states
in fourteen days.
Esther Williams is teaching
blind children to swim and is so
enthusiastic about it, she plans
to build a pool for them when
their new home is completed.
Bill Holden has really been
busy—he’s made seven pictures
in one year. After finishing
“Sunset Boulevard,” he will go
to Columbia for “The Harder
They Fall.”
Judy Canova has options on
“Calico in Mexico,” a story writ
ten by a former high school pal.
Cary Grant’s doctor has or
dered him to spend the rest of
the year convalescing as soon as
he finishes work in “I Was A
Male War Bride.” The attack of
yellow jaundice he suffered
abroad was his first serious ill
ness.
During the last weeks of Lent,
the 600 prints of the film "The
King of Kings,” the story of the
life, passion and death of Jesus
Christ, made by Cecil B. De
Mille twenty-three years ago,
were shown in New York, in
Europe, in Japan, China, the
Philippines. It was shown in
Liberia’s jungles and from trail
ers in the Tennessee hills. Prints
of the film are standard equip
ment for many missionaries. It
is estimated that it has been
seen by close to 800,000,000 peo
ple since its world premiere in
1927.
Among the birthday gifts
Gregory Peck received on a re
cent birthday was a clock from
his father-in-law in Finland,
with this note: “You’ll discover
in time that it has a strange
talent.” Sure enough, on Greg’s
birthday, April 6, on the hour
the whole day long, the clock
played “Happy Birthday.” It
does it only once a year.
Rosalind Russell was so de
lighted with “Oh, Promise Me,”
by Louise Randall Pierson and
Lee Jason, she bought it in
stantly. Now she hopes Cary
Grant will be as excited about
it as she, so they can do it to
gether. Their “His Girl Friday”
was so good, the public has been
looking for an encore.
