("Teen^' Ay Newsfeatures Few people can get along with out friends?one reason why some of us become "joiners." members of social clubs, professional so cieties and church organizations. Most young people when they sign their name to a membership card hope that their new affiliation will help make new pals. Some young people are puzzled about friendships. Either their best gal doesn't live up to their expectations insofar as expecting loyalty from a true friend is con cerned or they find it impossible to make really good friends, no matter how they try. Dr. William C. Wenninger, writ ing in the Life Adjustment Book let. "Making and keeping friends." stresses that it is a good idea to take occasional inventories of your friendships to examine what your friendships mean to you. and whether you can improve your re lations with others. lie suggests this friendship checklist, offering a number of questions to start you on your quest for friends. Answer each "yes" or "no." ... 1. Is your main feeling toward your friends one of affection rather than superiority or envy? 2. Do you enjoy the successes and achievements of your friends? 3. Do you stick up for your friends and defend them from the unkind words or acts of others? 4. Do you go all out for your friends in times of difficulty and ofrer sympathy and understanding 1 when needed? 5. Do you always keep confi- ' dences? i 6. Do you stand by your own convictions and opinions, and res- ' pect those of your friends? ; 7. If you promise to do some thing. do you always follow j through? i 9. Do you think of considerate 1 things to do for your friends? j praising a new dress or an A in | algebra, showing appreciation for i a favor, remembering birthdays'1 10. Are you as courteous to your ( friends as you are to your casual j acquointances? If you answer "yes to most of tha*r\ ^HMtianar wnNfHlMV | you probably don't have much to l worry about in the friendship line. If ypu_'ve found some "no's" you ^ can irrtprove your score! It's easy | to make friends once you learn the t things that are important in friend- ( ships, he says. Even after you make a friend. , you are likely to have your ups , and donws.

(International SoundphotoJ Hold On, Ladies - Man Admits He Has Smart Wife - r Sometimes you expect too much from a friend and become impatient or disappointed in her when she doesn't come through; Another time you may discover that you dor.'t care for your friend any more. But more often, he says, "the explanation is simply that moods and interests change from one day to the next. You may feel right now that you couldn't get along j without Celia. but there were prob ably times when you didn't care if you ever saw her again. . . " Such ups and> downs shouldn't I alarm you if they happen once in a while. Everyone experiences them, he reminds us. But if the Friendship is worth while we should try to keep the "downs" to a mini mim. Reasons why you can't make Friends might be: a selfish "what's in it for me" attitude, a desire to have endless compliments, praise and applause from friends, a fear of making frWnds. "Brr-^'infeTiortty complex" (a feeling that you're not as good as other people), a re pulsive aggressiveness due to an , insecure and inadequate feeling, :oo many acquaintances which pre cludes having real friendships, rhen there are home handicaps such as that faded slipcover or >vorn rug that you are ashamed )f. Or perhaps your family is well to do but doesn't enjoy the com-: pany of young people. These things suggested by Dr.; Vlenningerare worth thinking about. It is only by knowing where By JANE EADS WASHINGTON ? Jack Pfost says he's no speech-maker and no politician, but he claims to know a smart woman when he sees one and says his wife Gracje, the new congressman from Idaho, is* such a one. "She's one of the most outstand ingly brilliant women I've ever met," he told me in an interview in his wife's officer "She'll make a good law-maker. She believes in legislation that will help all of the people, not just a few." Mrs. Pfost, a Democrat, shape ly, auburn-haired and hazel-eyed, is one of the "glamor girls" of the 83rd Congress. Born in Harrison, Ark., in 1906. she grew up on her father's dairy ranch in the Boise Valley and -married Jack Pfost (pronounced Post) in 1923, She had gone through Idaho's schools and worked two years as a chem ist before serving for 10 years as treasurer of Canyon County. She ran for Congress two years ago, was defeated and got into the real estate business at Nampa. where the Pfosts have a home. She gives her husband, a retired mas ter mechanic, credit for the suc cess of her second try. "He need led me into making al all-out ef fort last summer," Mrs. Pfost said. " 'Gracie,' Jte said, '.vou sowed a lot of grain tyo years ago. Are you going to let it go to waste, or are you going out this fall and harvest it-' " Pfost said he told his wife that it should be her last try for Con the trouble is that the "no-friend" sickness can be treated. When you've found the key to the door of friendship, it is easy to make friends. vStuWu Smoky Mtn. DRIVE-IN THEATRE "Western North Carolina's Newest."

Junior Senior Prom which was held Sal- j urday night, February 14. at the Elks Lodge. This was the first Junior-Senior Prom ever held by Wavnesville High School students. Sponsoring the dance was the new ! |y formed Key Club, a junior branch of the Kiwanis, which is headed by Wiiburn Davis. All de tails were made and carried out by these boys alone, and speaking for the entire Junior and Senior Classes. I want to extend to the members of the club our sincere appdeciation for making the prom possible.) "What a night" is the only ap propriate thing that can be said a hout the Junior-Senior Prom The couples began arriving around 8 o'clock, just as a light snow fall began. Not only were you greeted by strains of music from Charles Alley's orchestra, and the receiv ing line composed of various Key Clubbers, but some of the most un usual decorations, all in red and white hearts and streamers. At the entrance were large red hearts and streamers leading to a huge wooden frame which bore the words "I Love You". After check ing our coats at another decorated room we entered the ball room and received one of the many sur prises the Key Club hed for us. Revolving in the middle of the room was a gold cvlinder bearing Cupids, and encircling the room were streamers bearing clustering hearts in all sizes. It is something I find impossible to describe, you would have to see it for yourself. Individual tables weer marked with pipe stem hearts of red and white. The punch table was cen tered with one big red heart, and tiny ones around it. Incidentally. Jimmy Davis gete all the credit for making the punch and believe me. he made gallons of it, during the evening for the one hundred, fifty students who attended. I wish there was room here to describe all the lovely dresses the girls wore, but it is impossible to mention all of them. I hesitated to mention any but Rose asked me to please describe a few. We (tress if she should fail, and that she'd "better get out and work." He helped by taking turns driving the family ear some 20,000 miles eriss-erossing her district, tack ing up posters, sometimes monit oring her speeches. "1 didn't make a?y speeches myself but when I met someone on the street natur ally I would speak well of her," he said. "I looked forward to her swear ing-in ceremony ever since the vote was counted. Now that she's elected. I guess I'll have to be the dishwasher of the family. I can keep Graeie from starving and she has an appetite. But she's a mighty good cook, so I'll iust stick to get ting breakfast." Piece de resistance of the Pfost breakfast is the mining country's favorite sourdoueht hot cakes. A housewife hack in the mountains 85 miles from the oiled roads gave Mrs. Pfost the sourdought "start er" during the campaign last August. "You add to it every night, and it grows and grows," Mrs. Pfost exnlained. "When you're ready to make the hot cakes, you mix the starter with ; flour and water." Hits Low Bowling Game DETROIT (APt ? George Steib er scored the amazingly low game of nine in the General Post Of fice League here. He gets some consolation, however, in knowing won't exclude the boys on purpose, just let me say they all looked especially nice, too! Mary Ann Bvrd had a perfectly beautiful winter white organdy floor-length formal, whic'.i was strapless ana encircled around the skirt by silver sequins. She wore tiny silver earrings and a corsage of red roses. Patsy ? Blalock wore a nylon strapless, ntuHberrv colored ankle length dress. She also wore even ing shoes in the same color. Her matching stole was drawn across the shoulder and extended in a bustle effect at the waist, where her corsage of white Camellias was attached. Wearing a quite different dress was Julia Ann Stovall. The top was black, with the skir\ a radi ance of colors In stripes, with green predominating It was a floor length dress with yards and yards of taffeta. This is hardly a beginning de scription of all the lovely dresses I would like to describe, but as I said before, I can't mention them all. Leaving the Elks Club, the couples were amazed at how the snow had made getting their cars out practically impossible. Every one was having such a good time that they never realized how heavy the snowfall actually was. > Around 30 people then made their way out to Spaldon's Rest aurant, where the dining room up stairs was reserved. Everyone was tired, but after eating, they were ready to start all over' again. Stanford Masise started the ball rolling with a number of popular songs, and the group sang until finally we just couldn't go on This was really one night to re member. 1 wouldn't dare get per sonal, but it would be a wonder ful idea to make this an annual affair! Thanks Patsy, for a complete de scription of the Junior-Senior Prom. I feel as though I had act ually attended the prom myself I too, think it would be a swell idea to make the prom an annual affair, and I'm sure most of the underclassmen will go along with this idea. Dempsey Praises Rickard In Texas HENRIETTA. Tex. (API ? Jack Dempsey says the dreams of Tex Rickard. famed promoter of the "golden era" of boxing, are going to be realized soon. Rickard predicted that boxing would draw million dollar gates. "People laughed when he said that." asserted Dempsey. "but with television and radio rights as well as admissions we will see million dollar gates in our lifetime." Dempsey spoke here at the dedi cation of the $100,000 Te* Rick ard Memorial Bowl ? a tribute to Henrietta's most illustrious citizen. Rickard was once the sheriff here and the first day of the Clay County Prisoners Reunion was giv en over to Tex. That's why Demn sey was invited to make the speech at the dedication. The former world's heavyweight champion was the first to draw the million dollar gate under the nromotion and direction of Rick ard. .A that he now holds an ABC league scoring record. If is the lowest total ever reported to the ABC. Steiber didn't bowl last year but the previous year he maintained an average of 157. Following that low nine count.

Women Played Big Rofej Election, Columnist SaJ By JANE EAPS WASHINGTON ? Women cant claim full responsibility for the results of the November elections, but they played a major role in "conditioning and softening" in dependent and apathetic citizens toward voting Republican. This is the opinion of Mrs. Car I roll D. Kerns, wife of the Repub lican congressman from Pennsyl vania and new president of the National Federation of Republican women. Between 500,000 and 600,000 federation members, in more than 4.000 clubs in 42 states, Alaska, ; Hawaii and the District of Colum 1 bia. did "volunteer yeomen's jobs" I in stirring up interest and en i thusiasm for the Republican ticket, especially in Southern areas, she said. "We represent the largest group of organized Re publicans in the United States," she added. "The federation exists as the educational unit of the party. Our job is to train volun teer workers, to enlarge our mem bership, to encourage the active participation of women in politics and to keep informed on all leg islation." Mrs. Kerns who also is president of the League of Republican Wo men of the District of Columbia, succeeds Mrs. Joseph R. Farring ton. wife of the Hawaii delegate to Congress, who has served as na tional president for the past four jjears.
