Litt OUTDOOR INSECT BITES DEAR DEBBIE: The other night my mother told . me she registered me for an all girl camp this summer because she thinks 15 is a kind of dangerous age — whatever that means. I really don't mind going to an all-girl camp but I wanted to go to the one all of my friends are going to. But she said I should think about new friends, but what this really means is that she doesn't like my friends here at home. The idea of spending summer with a bunch of snobby kids is such a turn-off I almost feel like running away once I get there. I guess the part that really hurts the most is knowing she doesn't trust me with my own friends here in the neighborhood. Now I have to look ahead to a summer in a camp with a bunch of creeps I know I'm going to hate. MISUNDERSTOOD DEAR MISS: Sometimes when parents are overly con cerned about their children, they might be less open to discussing feelings than they might be otherwise. Essentially, your mother’s heart is in the right place. Try the camp for a few weeks before passing judgment. If it is absolutely hateful, call her. Odds are she’ll do something to make you feel better. * * * DEAR DEBBIE: I registered with a com puter dating service recently and last week I accepted and went out with my first date. I am 34 years old and my date was 38. We had a charm ing evening. I think he is a sweet person, reason ably attractive and nicely built. But what bothers me is that he wears a toupee. I have a basic distrust of people who are vain. Should I go out with him again, feeling the way I do about his toupee? PERPLEXED DEAR PERPLEXED: If this is the only thing bothering you about this chap, you owe it to yourself to go out with him again. After all, he’s entitled to feel good about himself — even if that means he feels better wearing a hairpiece. If you like each other enough to form a relation ship, you might reach the point when you could tell him how you feel about his wig — if it's still im portant to you. * * ♦ is commemorating its 20th anniversary with events in several cities and a major development conference June 19 and 20 at Howard Univer sity in IVashington, D.C. “I hope many of the 80,000 Americans who have served as Peace Corps volunteers will participate in anniversary ac tivities.

Diane Holland, Acting Editor Phone 434-2740 Second Class Mailing Permit Held at Boiling Springs, N. C. Post Office 28017 DEAR DEBBIE: What can I do with a girl friend who wants to know every last detail of my life? Last week she asked me to make a list of all the girls I had made love to before 1 met her. She says knowing everything about each other is the only way we can'ever really trust each other, I don't know if she is right but there are some things I would real ly like to keep to myself — including my sex life, I wouldn’t think of asking her some of the questions she asks me, but she says that if we can’t really reveal ourselves to each other, there’s no point in having a relationship. PUT UPON DEAR PUT: Although trust, to a certain degree, is based on a sharing of con fidences, what your girl friend wants to do is strip away all the mystery so vital in keeping members of the opposite sex in terested in her. Tell her you’re tired of playing 20 questions. The sting of summer arrives when Mother Nature is at her best. Bees, wasps, hornets, mos quitoes, gnats and flies all can and do bite and sting, as do various ants and mites. Lush foliage, sunshine and flowers beckon those biting and sting ing insects. Bites and stings are for the most part only an annoyance, and rarely cause more than slight, temporary discomfort. The average, simple sting or bite, the one most commonly encountered, is accompanied by varying degrees of localized pain lasting for only a few minutes. To ward off these pests, there are of course many effec tive insect repellents, oils or waxy sticks that you can ap ply to exposed parts of the body to keep these pests away. Although these preparations do work, they protect only where they’re applied, and there is still the possibility of being stung or bitten. 'When this happens, try dabbing on a preparation like Campho- Phenique, which combines an effective antiseptic with a soothing and cooling anes thetic. This relieves the dis comfort, be it itch, sting or pain, and helps prevent infec tion. The reactions to insect stings and bites do differ, and many individuals suffer toxic or al lergic reactions to stings and bites. If there is an increased amount of swelling and itch ing, and there is a great deal of discomfort, call your physician. Dr. Jerome Z.
