According to Mona Grafton, librarian, Batcheldor, a former Mattooo resident, visited the library recently, inquiring about a gift he could donate in recognition of the part the library played In his younger years. Librarians suggested that the flag needed to be replaced with a new one. Batcheldor went one step beyond Just sending a flag to the library. He requested that it first be flown over the Capitol. A certificate accompanying the flag stated that the flag was flown over the U.S.

DEAR ABBY: In a recent column you said it was all right for girl to let a guy know she liked him and wanted to see him again. You said it would save time, and do away with a lot of game-playing.

My son disagrees with you. He a flight attendant with a big airline and he says he's turned off by women who are forward. He claims that men still like to do the courting, but lately they don't have a chance because womens' libbers have made women so aggressive. I must say that I agree with my son, Abby. When I was a girl my mother never allowed me to call up a boy, and I always had more dates than I could handle.

I told my son how it was in the "olden days" when I was dating, and he said, "It's too bad it's not like that today. It would be much more romantic." Just thought you'd like to hear about a young man who prefers an old-fashioned girl. MOM DEAR MOM: 11 it works for him, Mae.

Read ea: DEAR ABBY: Thanks for the terrific column suggesting how a decent woman can meet a decent man.

You're absolutely right about evening classes. They are usually loaded with aingle guys who want to get ahead and at the same time sre trying to fill up some of their free time. But your final suggestion that girls might make the first move if they really dig a guy is probably the best advice you ever gave. You'd be amazed at how many men are still smarting from a rejection they received six months ago. (Most men are reluctant to come on to a girl because they're afraid they'll be turned down.) I know from experience that the average man would be thrilled if a woman took the initiative and let him know she'd like to see him again.

Thanks, Abby, for telling girls that men appreciate hones ty snd that playing hard-to-get is passe. Your letter was just what I needed to get me in the mood to start looking for girl sgsin. I had just about given up. ERIK DEAR ABBY: I have a question and I don't know where to find the snswer. Could you ask your experts about it? Is it true that many homosexuals become that way after being seduced by older adults when they were young and impressionable? (I'm not the only one who would like to know.) J.L.
