Have yen ever tlum.iiht alumt how liard it. is for some hoys to get a date? For some, it’s as easy as falling oft’ a log. and to orhers. it’s a long, painstaking task! So to the unfortunate pleasure - seekers, we dedicate these ert’orts to lind a remedy for this trouble. First of all, do not display a streak of hash- fulness while asking that fearful (piestion. "t'ould I have a date Friday night’f” For. after all. the girl may he just as nervous alamt the whole thing as you art'I Secondly, reinemher that Uome wasn’t built in one day. and neither can ytiu expect to .secure a date if you wait until the last min ute. Hoys rave when they ask ONE girl for a date and she has another. This causes males to go into wild tantrums and hate the wtifd "girl" for a day or so after. Hut listen, you handsome heart-throbs, there are always nnu'e tish in the sea, and who knows’? Perhaps yon didn’t use the right kind of technique the first time. Ihirfl and last, don’t let "her" know you are over-auxious for that date, although she is lu'ohahl.v just as anxious as you are. Hon’t be under-anxious, either: nothing is quite as disturbing to a girl as a boy that acts as if he doesn’t care whether he gets the apiiointinent or not. Eastly. many girls are just as nervous over the appointment as you. so act accordingly. Remember, you are only young once.

Xcw frend.'^ of swing may cmne and go. bur thy power dive of King Benny Good man's "Down, Down, Down" and "Soft as Spring" creates a new swing .sensation which is here to stay. Harry James gives some superb swing in his famous "Due o'clock Jump" and "Two o’clock Jump." Also, " I Guess I’ll Have to Dream the Rest" and "I’ll Never Let a Day Go Hy" show that extra distinction by James. Recent recordings which deserve your at tention are “I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire" by Tommy Tucker, and two record ings. "Hack to Boogie" and "Narcissus’’ by Larry Clinton, on a Victor record. In a room piled high with records, there should be discs of America's greatest dance band. Will Bradley, featuring Ray JIcKin- ley. is probably the most popular maestro on Columbia labels. Classics All the world loves a waltz, and one of the greatest is "Wiener Hint" by Johann Strauss. Currently famous, and played by Riener and the Pittsburgh Symphony or chestra it is one of Columbia’s most notable finds. >'ext to the "Surprise Symphony.the "Cock." No. 101 in D Major, playetl by How- aid Harlow, is probably the greatest concert hall favorite. With the singing of "Yours Is My Heart Alone." by Franz Lehar. Columbia boasts a thrilling record. Dn the lighter side, you might like the ■spine-tingling reading of Tchaikowskv’s "Marche Slave" by Arthur Rodzinski and the Cleveland Orchestra.

He Got Away It iMaybe it was his Ipana smile or his Palm olive complexion, or possibly just bis being a stranger in town. But, anyhow, the first day the soldiers arrived in Greensboro, one of them came down Market street on a motorcycle and paused at the square. A,« he signalled to turn down Elm, the officer on duty whistled loudly and cried, "Hey. Buddy, you can’t turn here!’’ The dough boy, misinterpreting the move, smiled, waved at the cop in a friendly greeting, and non chalantly replied in his Fort Dix brogue: "Oh. I think I can make it, thank you.” And he did. leaving a dumfounded police man and an amazed citizenry gazing awe struck as the Yankee soldier gaily putt- purred down Elm street.
