CHILD GUIDANCE Eisenhower's Early Training ' Is Outlined By Columnist By G. CLEVELAND MYERS The' five Eisenhower brothers, "including Dwight, the President of the United States, had a family life and upbringing that were signif- "icant. © They shared with their parents in worship 'of Almighty God. They "learned home obedience. Not only did they have effectual restraint in their early years, but they were also required to do regular chores and to do them well. They learned to take responsibility when effort was required. They learned to work hard and be thrift.

Every 15 minutes somebody thinks | up something that will get pat- ented -- and thousands more have dreamed up gadgets they've never marketed. February Reader's Digest tells how the Gadget-of-the-Month Club helps amateurs develop and market their inventions. It gives some tips on which fields are wide-open for new ideas (and warns which are overworked) . . . and gives a glimpse of the money and fun to had many opportunities to make choices of their own, their, parents believing that they should. So one gathers from the book, "General Eisenhower, Soldier of Democ- racy," by Kenneth S. Davis. PARENTS DEEPLY RELIGIOUS The Mennonité parents of the Eisenhower boys were deeply re- ligious, and lived their faith in God. The father read the Greek Bible. The mother and boys used the King James Version. The parents never quibbled philosophically over nar- row shades of difference between right and wrong. Some things were clearly and eternally right; some were always wrong, and the boys met decisive punishment for de- liberately doing wrong. The boys were not harmed by too many luxuries. While the father earned a very modest wage at the creamery in Abilene, Kansas, where they lived, the family had sufficient income to supply their simple needs, and they never lived beyond their means. They had a garden and some fields from which the boys sold considerable produce over and above what the family neéded, This money helped supple- ment the father's wages. There was a horse, some cows and other live- stock, which the boys cared for as soon as they were big enough to do 80. RIGID DISCIPLINE Chores began with sunrise in summer, and long before sunrise in winter. Definite chores outdoors and indoors were required. The family discipline was rigid. If a boy failed to do a good job of, say, hoeing the corn, he was at once sent back to do it over, even though it might be late in the evening. Any attempt to play hooky from an assigned chore brought swift, and generally, corporal punishment. Each one knew, therefore, that dur- 'ing work time he must give all of | himself to work. But there was enough tine for play. As soon as he was old enough, each boy went to work in the Belle Springs Creamery. Quite a contrast with the modern theory that the way to get children to learn to help at home is to make the chores so attractive the children will beg to be allowed to do them!

MARY HAWORTH'S MAIL When Infantile Mother-in-Law Insists On Stealing Spotlight Dear Mary Haworth: I would like to give Christmas back to the children, where it belongs, instead of dancing attendance on an infan- tile grandma. How can I do this next year? I want to be prepared. For 23 years my mother-in-law's system of celebrating Christmas has made the day a nightmare for me. Each year I've had to take our children, as they came along--one at the age of two weeks, in 20- below-zero weather--to a Christmas tree at her house, where she un- wraps mountains of gifts, while we examine our two or three exchan- ges. Then a quick trip home for naps and to tidy up our tree, and back again to grandma's for dinner at four--a groaning board that she Slaves over, as she emphasizes to all. 4 The children are severely repri- manded if they don't behave--ex- cept for the littlest one, who is always her favorite and can do no wrong. The older children are so tired and bewildered at the day's end that a visit to my relatives, en route home, is out of the ques- tions. Indeed to get home for an early bedtime is almost impossible. Then for days grandma complains that her work wasn't appreciated. I'd love to have a family dinner for "just us. And her daughters would love to take turns entertain- ing the grandparents--and so would I. But always there is her tearful annual reminder that she wan't be with us many more Christmases-- and back we are in the same ordeal. I am nearing the age when the tensions and horrid remarks are unbearable, and to top it all, my husband, her only son, says these awful celebrations must endure as long as she lives. Can you suggest a humane deliverance? V. Y. ACT YOUR AGE! Dear V. Y.: The truth is, you don't have to dance attendance on the infantile grandmothe:, to the extent that you describe-- even if Henry (let's call your husband) feels that he must. The fact is, you simply haven't the adult character and common sense (as yet) that would permit you to chart a reason- able course to accomodate your circumstances from year to year. Your mother-in-law's Christmas policy means that she is trying to blind herself and her children to the passage of time and the alter- ations it works in relationship. Each Christmas she strives to turn back the clock to years when her children lived under her roof, their hearts centered on her--hence the annual summons to a full Christ- mas day with her. The secondary aim of this pro- cedure is to absorb her children's children and their co-parents into her family circle. Thus she seeks to establish dominant claim to them, in a kind of campaign of rivalry against the in-law grandparents' co-equal relationship rights. BE FONDLY FIRM Your mother-in-law is a "mom," by Dr. Edward A, Strekcer's éom- passionate definition in "Their Mothers' Sons' (Lippincott). With- out really loving her children, she clings to them as to the coin of "emotional security," fearful of losing their attention if she relaxes her coercive demands. My advice is to give her sympa- thetic evidence of filial interest the | « | year around, and then at Christmas | cut your visits to one a day--either | morning or afternoon, as you think best when the season arrives. If Henry insists that morning and afternoon visits are binding on him, let him go freely, with your bless- ing--but invoke more leisure for the children and yourself. M. H.

HOLLYWOOD HIGHLIGHTS New Gadget Called "Telemeter" Could Revolutionize TV Business By BOB THOMAS PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (AP)-- This desert resert is the guinea pig for a new gadget that could revol- utionize the movie and TV business. It's called telemeter. Many leaders in the film industry say it's the way to make new movies pay off royally on TV, How? By having people pay to see the pictures the same way many pay for electricity: putting a coin in a meter. The telemeter people needed a locality to prove to doubting Thom- ases that their device could work. Palm Springs was chosen, It had been out of the TV picture due to topography. Nestled at the foot of Mt. Jacinto, the town was hidden from the unbending waves of the seven Los Angeles TV sta- tions. Other resorts 20 miles farther into the_desert could get TV re- ception and advertised accordingly. This was bad for Palm Springs' business. One trailer camp opera- tor reported losing 50 potential cus- tomers in a week. The trailer own- ers drove on to TV areas when they discovered they couldn't get reception on their sets. So the town welcomed telemeter's plan to set up a community an- tenna system. The company's en- gineers rigged a coaxial cable from the highlands down to the town. Facilities now are available to all comers. Installation charge is $150, and telemeter expects to do a land-office business, But bringing TV to blacked-out areas is only part of telemeter's ambitious program. In a month or two, the company plans to equip the Palm Springs sets with meters. Set owners will receive an extra channel with a scrambled picture. By plunking some coins in the meter, they can unscramble the picture and see a new movie or a top sports event.
