DO point out Johnny's best feature. Say something like: "You have hands like a doctor's, strong and efficient."-March 1946

DON'T ever let your irritation show on your face. When you're angry, sit still, be quiet, smile if you possibly can, and start the conversation moving in the right direction with "I'm sorry."-March 1946

AND REMEMBER
Don't jump all over the room. A girl should have pep, but not be explosive.-April 1946

Dating Dilemma:

"If Johnny is overseas in the army, what kind of Christmas present would be most useful to him?"

Buy him something that is compact and durable, that he can take with him when he's on the march. A cigarette lighter that will light in a strong wind, a pipe and some tabacco for it, rustproof razor blades, soap, steel mirrors, a waterproof wristwatch. Guys in the Navy want foot powder, saddle soap, and sun lotion. Your gift must weigh five pounds or less, and it can't measure more than 15 inches in length or 36 inches in lenth and width combined.-September 1945

Quip from a guy:

"The girl who's always yapping for a Coke or a hot dog ought to bring her own nickels."
