Be Bh Me Lal J0 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, July 19, 1961 MARY HAWORTH'S MAIL Girl, 14 Discouraged At Parents' Strictness . Dear Mary Haworth: I have a peculiar problem which both. me greatly. I am a girl 14 will be allowed to have in another year, but I am I won't have any. . reasons for thinking so are : My parents believe it is . to go to movies, any or to dances or swim- ers and ovies, We have a record player but all our records are religious music and I am not allowed to have rock-and-roll records, I am permitted to go roller skating, but only when my par- ents accompany me, because they say "There are so many big kids there," and I "might get hurt." I have tried talking to them but it doesn't help. As dating is an important part of life, I feel that my life will be wasted, because people are supposed to marry but you can't marry if you don't date. SR. THERE'S HOPE Dear S.R.: Your parents turn thumbs down on dancing, swim- ming and going to movies, you say. From this I gather that they were brought up to avoid such recreations. Still, they found each other and got mar- ried, and they seem to share the same values. So isn't there hope in this picture for you? It takes many kinds of people to make a world. And all the kids who are dancing, swim- ming and going to movies today, and listening in droves to rock- and-roll records, aren't neces- sarily heading towards good or useful or happy lives. I might mention also that early dating for teenagers, say at 13 or 14, is at least as likely to lead to trouble as to jubila- tion. You will be dating quiet soon enough if you start next year, at age 15. You will only appeal, in any case, to people who have the taste and discern- ment to appreciate you, so don't knock yourself out trying to be Miss Average, or trying to please everyone. The modern custom of 13- year-olds and 14-year-olds be- ginning to date routinely is wrong, I think. The spectacle of youngsters as gangly as new- born lambs pairing off to "go steady," seems to me an un- healthy one. It suggests, among other things, that their parents don't have the wisdom or devoted con- cern to make a major project of keeping them safe in the fold of learner activities, in group array, for a few more years, while they grow up a little. Just consider that the h life span is about 70 years, ap- proximately, which allows 50 years for being grown (man or woman). Then ask yourself what's the hurry about trying ot get your whole future under full sail at age 14? The most regrettable aspect CHILD GUIDANCE How To Teach A Child To Handle Toys Carefully By G. CLEVELAND MYERS An Iowa mother writes: | "I'm wondering how I may) teach my children, three, five| and seven, to take better care of their toys. They don't care if they get broken and are care- less with them. They really don't have to many. dren and for them to enjoy one another. PARENTS' QUESTIONS Q. Often quarreling among our three children, six, seven and 11, leads to a hit or pinch or a chase through the house. A.
