THREE IS A CROWD
Dear Helen:
I like three boys and I don't
know Which I should try for.
Boy 1. He’s 18. He was sup-
posed to call me one night and
didn't. He’s very nice, but six
years older than me. He says
he likes me.
Boy 2. He’s a hood and tries
to get fresh. My mother hates
him.
Boy 3. I’ve never dated him
because he doesn’t like girls,
so I don’t think I have a chance.
He’s just a year older than me.
But he LOOKS at me some-
times.
please tell me who I should
try to go out with, and please
don’t say “It’s up to you.”—
UNDECIDED DATER
Dear U.D.:
I certainly WON’T say, “It’s
up to you.” And if your mother
does, she’d better turn in her
“good conduct medal.”
Before you date ANY boy, wait
at least two more years, little
12-year-old!—H.
Dear Helen:
I’m 16 and a new girl in town.
The girl next door is my age
and has been just swell to me.
She’s a real sweet kid — the
everyday teenage girl: polite,
high ideals, friendly, kind.
From some other girls I met
I heard a rotten story about her.
They said she was pregnant last
year and went to another state
to have the baby. Should I be-
lieve these friends? If the story
is true, will it hurt my reputation
to hang around with her?—STILL
FRIENDLY
Dear S.F:
Your reputation can’t be hurt
by hanging around with the kind
of girl you describe . . And
what happened or didn’t happen
last year should have no effect
whatsoever on your friendship.
BUTM’d steer clean of girls
who circulate ugly rumors. They
could also spread them about you.
—H.
Dear Helen:
I am an independent girl of 14
whose parents do not believe in
strict punishment. I was never
spanked. While staying at my
brother and sister • in - law’s
I thought I could do as I pleased,
like always. I was making a gen-
eral nuisance of myself, wouldn’t
mind, talked back, etc. My sis-
in-law suggested a spanking and
I laughed. That did itl Three
spankings later, I turned over a
new leaf. When I got home m3’
parents were so pleased they
sent Linda and John a thank-
you gift. —HAPPY THAT I WAS
SPANKED IN TIME.
On SUNDAY why wait till 8 or
9 p. m. to call Long Distance ?
Your lowest Long Distance rates are in effect all day.
Telephone anywhere in the continental United States
(except Alaska) for $1* or less.

Local Artist Finding Success
In Old Oil Field Paintings
BY MAUD GREEN
Gordon Bankston, local artist
who is progressing nicely along
the Glory Road in oil painting
. . . and oil field paintings.. . has
two special events to celebrate
this week.
He left Kermit Thursday morn-
ing for Amarillo, carrying 15 of
his choicest paintings, where they
will be exhibited in a one-man
show at Enchanted Galleries.
His show opened Friday and
will continue for two weeks.
The second celebration is the
selling of another painting to Luf-
kin Company, makers of pumping
jacks, to be used on the com-
pany’s calendars.
This picture, which Bankston
calls Producer, is the first one he
did after becoming interested
in doing historical oilfield scenes
of various areas. It has proven
to be one of the most popular
of all his works.
Another Bankston oil was used
in full color for the front cover
of a recent issue of Drill Bit
. . . a publication devoted to the
petroleum interests.
Bankston, a pumper, is the son
of a retired oil field pumper. He
was born on a Gulf lease just 59
feet from a pumping well between
Smackover and Norphlet in Ar-
kansas oil country.
He drew his first picture when
he was six years old. It was drawn
with crayons, but it was an oil
field picture.
For years he has collected data
and photographs and has become
acquainted with many of the men
prominent in his particular field
of work and has also met photog-
raphers of days long gone, who
have helped him in his search
for authentic photographs.
He has done the famous Busey
No. 1 well which came roaring in
with a 10,090-barrel-a-dayflowto
open up the fabulous El Dorado
Field in 1921.
His Producer, the one recently
sold to Lufkin, was a well south
of Monahans. During the years
Bankston lived in Monahans, this
was the first well to check in
the morning. His first plans were
to include cattle which gathered
around the pump, licking the salt
water. The cattle went away and
his painting remains ... a life-
like reproduction of a lone pump-
er with storage tanks nearby.
Bankston, in his early 30s,
dreams of doing the first or most
fascinating and colorful wells in
such fields as Spindletop, Jen-
nings, Corsicana, Signal Hill,
Sour Lake, Smackover and Cush-
ing.
Already on canvas are the
Hendrick No. 1, discovery well
of Winkler County, and the old
wooden derrick near Mentone
which has been a noted landmark
through the years.
In an issue of The Illustrator,
a publication of Art Instructions,
Inc., a feature story of Bank-
ston was written by Jim Clark,
widely known oil field writer.
The Bankston painting used with
the story was an old drilling
scene, Standard of Texas No. 9
McFarland, Ward County.
If the time comes when this
relatively young artist doesn’t
have to work at a regular job to
support his wife, their daughter,
and himself . , . there’s still a
wonder-world waiting for his oils,
canvases and brushes. Should he
ever get through with all the
famous old wells of his native
land, there are still such fields
as Venezuela, Saudi Arabia or
even Malaya.
Whatever he paints and
wherever he goes, Bankston, be-
ing a stickler for the real thing,
will spend more timein research
than in actual painting.
