QUESTION: My father

promised me two years ago’~

that when I graduated from
high school, he would give
me a Corvette. I was to get it
this August.

I've been looking forward
to it and like a dumbbell,
I've told ail my friends about
it. Now what happens? Well,
my dad says he's sorry but
his business has gone into
hard times and that he won't
he able to keep his promise.
Just like that. I thought a
promise was a promise
especially when it comes

QUESTION: Have you an
opinion you would care to
share with us about the
movie, Caligula and about
the opposition to it that is
being spear-headed by
Bernice Gerrard?

STEWART: I have not seen
the movie. I have heard very
litle about the opposition

from your own father and
mother.

My mother knew about
the promise and she went
along with it. Now they just
back off and act like a
promise has mo importance
at all. He says he'll get me a
little cheap car instead. I
feel like a fool just imagining
how my friends will give me
the old hee haw when I tarn
up with a Mini Minor or
something. Do you think
that's fair?

STEWART: I am sure it is
very difficult for you to feel

you refer to. So, that
establishes me as being
unqualified to respond in-
telligently to your question.
However, I am quite willing
to respond unintelligently!
Having heard one review of
the movie, only, and having
heard only one commentary
regarding Bernice Gerrard’s
reaction to it, I might guess
that were J] better informed,
I would probably dislike the

But he promised a Corvette

the same way your dad does
about how things have
worked out in his business.
But for some people, these
last few years have brought
about some awfully difficult
ratuations. It must be terribly
hard for your dad to go back
on his*promise, but ap-
parently he has to do that.

is carrying. Give him a

Gerrard’s way of dealing
with it. In all probabality, (if
I were better informed) I
would prefer a rotten movie
to Bernice’s way of opposing
it, (and = incidentally,
promoting it.) As I say, I am
speaking from my comfy
position of ignorance. That
rumbling you hear comes
from the enthusiasts of both
sides of the confrontation,
fervently saying AMEN!

‘promise just to hurt you, but
because he has to. If you
have passed your grade XI,
I am sure you are smart
enough to see that.

About your friends, I feel
sure that most of them will
understand. The ones who
don't are not very good
friends anyway. Let them
have their day of acting like
grade 5 people instead of
young men and women with
some feelings and under-
standing.

A Mini Minor is a lot of
fun. But even a Corvette
would not give you as big a
charge as being a feeling,
warm, loving daughter who
understands the facts of life
and is able to be grown up
enough to put her dad at
ease and be grateful for his
being willing to go the Mini
Minor route when he
probably can’t afford it.
