LOVLORN COLUMN

Dear Mr. C:
My pet dog and rabbit just don’t seem to jive with each other. How can I make it work. - Mixed-Up Joe.

Dear Mixed-Up Joe:
Did you ever try a wedge.

Dear Mr. C:
They call me the great "French Lover". Can I help it? - Shook-Up Theriault

Dear Shook-Up Theriault:
If you girls will wait a minute he’ll give you all a break (Pull a McDougall).

Dear Mr. C:
I’m recently married and afraid the bottom of my shortie pyjamas will come between me and my wife. How can I convince her I got them in a "panty raid"? - Henpecked Gus

Dear Henpecked Gus:
Family affairs are hard discussions. Talk it over with your Padre or Doctor.

Dear Mr. C:
All day long at my work I must wear an apron and wash dishes. Do you think this makes me less a man? - Frustrated Hunter.

Dear Frustrated Hunter:
I’ll have to refer this question to Snooks. I’ve never seen your performance.

Dear Mr. C:
Is it true what they say about my dog? - Disillusioned Dot

Dear Disillusioned Dot:
A little more variety for your dog would seem like the answer. Try it and let me know the results. Enclosed is a copy of "Proper Breeding for Fur Bearing Animals".

Dear Mr. C:
What is the answer? Whenever I wash my hair I just can’t seem to do a thing with it. Besides, I’m a "Newfie". Any suggestions would be appreciated. - Forlorn "Al" Lacey.

Dear Forlorn "Al" Lacy:
Go back to "Squid Jigging Ground". Newfie Screech is the best I can recommend.

Dear Mr. C:
My problem is that I can’t dance. I just sit by while the other guy walks off with the girls. - "Clumsy Weber".

Dear "Clumsy Weber":
Try Arthur Murray’s School of Dancing.

Dear Mr. C:
I’m 20 and still a bachelor, so you think some bright girl will soon see the light? - "Darkened Jack Plant"

Dear "Darkened Jack Plant":
Keep a flask of whiskey in your dash compartment; it sometimes persuades them.

Dear Mr. C:
Why must I be a teenager in love? - Amorous Snooks

Dear Amorous Snooks:
It happens to everyone until the age of twenty, after that have no fear because you’ll be a teenager no more.

Dear Mr. C:
Is it true gentlemen prefer blondes? - Puzzled Cathy H.

Dear Puzzled Cathy H:
Some do, some don’t.

Stu Weber reports that the sun is awful hot at Clear Lake, but a girl with blonde hair assures him it’s not really as bad as he thinks.

Cpl. Mel Baker has departed for Montreal Hospital and then he goes on leave. Good holidays Mel.

Our dear MASTER Cpl. Ed Sollows is wondering whether it’s cheaper to fly or walk to New Brunswick. Can anybody help this poor unfortunate?

Jerry Amyotte and Marg Bernard are still going strong and always happy.
