ELVIS PRESLEY Continued from page 21 have plenty in common. It’s strange how you wonder about these things after so long. I want a quiet home-coming, like any other soldier . . . just a small get-together with my friends and family in Memphis. I don’t want any fuss or a brass band waiting for me. Other soldiers don’t get one, so why should I? I’m looking forward to seeing the street where I used to live . . . going to a neighborhood movie . . . understanding, again, what folks in the street are saying . . . eating in my favorite restaurant . . . playing ball with the old gang again . . . even getting to know the new people who moved into our neighborhood while I was away. . . seeing all the many little things I remember about my home . . . and, of course, the usual Saturday night date. Yes, these are the things I’m looking forward to. Do I want to marry? I’m flooded with letters from so many people asking me. Sure I do. People have said, “Don’t you think you could spoil your happiness by not getting married?” Well, I do want to marry . . . but maybe not just yet. The reason why I don’t expect to get married right now is because I believe life would be too hard for two people in love. I’ve taken out many girls — fans too. Why shouldn’t I go out with fans if I like them individually? There have been many girls who’ve said to me, “If you can’t marry me now, I can’t wait for you.” I don’t think that’s the right attitude. If a girl can’t wait for you, you don’t want her anyway. Find a girl you love and want to marry and, if she really cares for you, she won’t want to hurt your career. That’s how I see it. I believe that if two people are really in love, they should marry, come what may. But when there are difficulties, a girl must be prepared to wait and understand. If a girl gets over-anxious and marries someone else — it has happened to me — the only thing to say is: “Oh well, that’s how the ball bounces.” I took girls home to meet my mother because she wanted to meet the people I liked. And the girls wanted to see how young people lived in the Deep South. I don’t mind whether girls are redheads, blondes or brunettes as long as they are truly feminine. A boy once wrote to me saying that girls gave him a rough time and he wondered if it ever happened to me. Yes, it has — but a girl doesn’t want a man she can lead around by the ears. If the man makes it clear that he loves her, but not so much that he can’t get along without her, then he’s right. If a girl starts making excuses when I ring her for a date, I don’t bother any more. The more you try to get them to like you — the less they do. You can’t force love on anyone. I learned that a long time ago. I don’t like sophisticated girls who pretend to be something they aren’t. The girl I like looks up to me as a man, but I guess most guys feel like this, don’t they? Maybe it will feel strange, at first, when I take out a girl back home again. But, then, a lot of things feel strange after so long. But it’s good to be going home . . . I’m crossing the days off my calendar. I can’t wait. — ELVIS AFTER HIS RELEASE FROM SERVICE, ELVIS IS TO MAKE “G.I. BLUES” FOR PAR. BE SURE TO CATCH HIS OLD FILMS WHICH ARE BEING RERELEASED. HEAR ELVIS SING ON RCA VICTOR. Let’s talk frankly about 4 internal cleanliness Day before yesterday, many women hesitated to talk about the douche even to their best friends, let alone to a doctor or druggist. Today, thank goodness, women are beginning to discuss these things freely and openly. But— even now— many women don’t realize what is involved in treating “the delicate zone." They don’t ask. Nobody tells them. So they use homemade solutions which may not be completely effective, or kitchen-type antiseptics which may be harsh or inflammatory. It’s time to talk frankly about internal cleanliness. Using anything that comes to hand . . .“working in the dark”. . . is practically a crime against yourself, in this modern day and age. Here are the facts: tissues in “the delicate zone” are very tender. Odors are very persistent. Your comfort and well-being demand a special preparation for the douche. Today there is such a preparation. This preparation is far more effective in antiseptic and germicidal action than, old-fashioned homemade solutions. It is far safer to delicate tissues than other liquid antiseptics for the douche. It cleanses, freshens, eliminates odor, guards against chafing, promotes confidence as nothing else can. This is modern woman’s way to internal cleanliness. It is the personal antiseptic for women, made specifically for “the delicate zone.” It is called Zonite®. Complete instructions for use come in every package. In cases of persistent discharge, women are advised to see their doctors. Millions of women already consider Zonite as important a part of their grooming as their bath. You owe it to yourself to try Zonite soon.
