Disclose Notes: Same story premise as "Afraid to Love" in Youthful Love Romances (Pix-Parade, 1949 series) 2 (October 1949) and "I Fell in Love with a Mama's Boy" in First Love Illustrated (Harvey, 1949 series) 4 (August 1949). All three of these stories deal with a woman who falls in love with a race-car driver and asks him to quit his profession. In all three stories the woman is dating her supervisor at work, who (in all three stories) makes a point of her not calling him by his first name while on the job.

Disclose Notes: The beginning of this story was obviously inspired by the celebrations in the USA on 14 August 1945, marking the surrender of Japan in World War II. This led to the famous Alfred Eisenstaedt photograph of a U.S. Navy sailor kissing a woman on the street in Times Square, New York.
