What's Your
PROBLEM?
BY KAY COLYER
Addi^.a L^ttec to Kay Coiye: euro iho V tutor

If we wish to build a house
we must first deride just what
kind of house we want and
then make a plan ot sueh a
Jkotise. We would not ask a e< li-
tre tor to build a house lor us
"without gi,*ing him sprniir re-
quirements on a bluepiin We
would have to know exactly
what we wanted from the foun-
dation on to the finished pro-
duct.
The same thing is true ol our
lives; we must know what we
want and plan accordingly We
must have some definite goal in
mind and work toward it. A
person who doesn't know what
he wants to do seldom does
anything worthwhile. He is
sometimes waiting for a "call."
an urge, an inspiration, or an
opportunity, and these things
are fine, but they don't always
come without preparation.
Many people do not believe
that “good fortune" exists for
^hem; they readily accept the
lea that it is the normal ex-
perience of other people but
not for them. Perhaps they
feel inferior to other people
because of race or family or
^feply training or maybe lack of
^nucation. A little logical argu-
ment with oneself, however,
should be convincing proof that
the only limitation is that one
imposes on himself. One is not
neccssariy limited by family.
race etc Many of our greatest
people in terms of achieve-
ments had very poor begin-
nings
A p< rson who has a goal and
strives to achieve it cannot be
calleo a lailure regardless of
the ( utcome; he always gains
some hing. Knowledge, experi-
ence, and a certain satisfaction
in knowing that he has made
an effort.
Visualization of the desired
result is a must if one wishes
to make much progress in the
fulfillment of his goal. Just as
a building contractor sees the
finished house from studying
the blueprint, so must we see
and accept the fulfillment of
our dreams.
Dear Miss Colyer:
I enjoy reading your column.
Maybe you can tell me what to
do about my little brother. I
am fifteen and he is ten. Every-
time one of my boy friends
come to pick me up. he meets
them at the door and tells
them some wild tale about me.
The boys just laugh but it em-
barrasses me. My mother some-
time' keeps him from doing it.
but he runs outside to meet
them. What can I do? EMBAR-
RASSED
Its u]) to your parents to put
a stop to your brother’s bad
behavior. If he is actually pun-
ished. he isn't likely to pull
such stunts again. One reason
why we have so many rude
grown-ups is that parents have
failed to teach courtesy and
thoughtfulness in the home.
Dear Miss Colyer:
1 am a woman in my sixties.
I have been married three
times, each time a big mistake.
I finally took all I could stand
from this last husband and di-
vorced him. He drank too much
and would not work and at
times was really cruel to me.
Now. a man who is several
years older than me wants me
to marry him. He seems like a
good man and has a good
reputation. He has no home
but l have a comfortable place
ol my own. Do you think it is
wise for me to try it again?
MRS. C.
If you have matte three bad
choices, i coula hardly trust
your judgment on a fourth try.
Seems to me you are inclined
to be pretty gullible when it
comes to men. As I see it. the
plan seems better for the man
in question than for you. He
evidently wishes to marry you
for security since he is so much
older than you and has no
home. If you wish to take on
such responsibility, here’s your
chance.
Dear Kay Colyer:
My girl friend is getting mar-
ried and has asked me to be a
bridesmaid. Is she supposed to
choose what I wear at the wed-
ding? L.N.
Yes.
Dear Miss Colyer:
I don't see many letters from
men in your columns, but I
have a serious problem which I,
