MARY HAWORTH"S MAIL:- Girl's Attitude Disrupts Household Dear Mary Haworth: I live with my husband's family and get-along fine, as his mother vowed when her sons married (she has four) that she wouldn't interfere in their mar- riage, as her mother-in-law had done. The problem that troubles us is her daughter Kay, who is said to be very spoiled, as her parents sent her to private schools and tried to give her the best of every- thing. My husband and I are help- ing with the upkeep and taxes on their house, which is big enough to accommodate three families. The father had assumed that Kay would help financially toc. if things got bad in their declining yéars, as she is employed at a very good salary. But she refuses to give them money. Kay rejects their appeals for help by saying they always had money enough before, and can't be short of money now, especially if dad can afford to drink, which Kay detests. To which the mother replies that they do need money, and Kay could help a lot if ghe would; and that when dad dr which isn't often, it is because of Kay's attitude. Kay threatens to leave home, and says they would get by if she took her life. Things have reached a point where the parents can't talk to Kay now, but she gets along fine with John and me, and confides in us, when we ask her to supper, or to have tea with us occasionally. She stays in her room most of the time she's not at work. She tells me she would like to have some of her friends in occasionally (she has two that I know of)--but she thinks the house isn't nice enough. When I try to persuade her to give a little something to her parents, she insists they den't really need her money. I know she isn't happy and I'd like to help her--if you'll tell me how. F. B. DEMORALIZED ATTITUDE Dear F. B.: In condensing your letter I've tried to distill the true picture of Kay, which you haltingly present in vague outline. All I get the picture, spoiled is hardly the word for her. Kay's attitude towards parents, acquaintances, etc., seems more negative and withdrawn than wil- fully headstrong. She is stoically unfilial and timidly unsocial. This suggests that her outgoing impul- ses were consistently thwarted, and her charactér growth stymied, by insisent authoritarian manipula- tion in formative years--at home and in school. And I surmise that she finally lapsed into static rebel- lion against prodding and chiding --hence offers passive resistance to parental demands of any sort. In trying to give Kay "the best of. everything" from their view, the parents may have done her an unkindness. They may have thrown her to the lions, figuratively, in the sense of forcing her to com- pete, unarmed as it were, with, schoolmates of far more advanta- geous background, insofar as money, family prestige, social con- nections, etc., are concerned, And meanwhile they may have been nagging her for demonstrable evi- dence of gratifying achievement-- as due return on their investment. This essentially self-serving type of pressure, applied by ambitious parents to a hamstrung child, may damage the mainspring of person- ality--namely, self confident zest for life--and lead to defeat all around. , SICK SITUATION Considering the profound antag- onism and sick stalemate that exists between Kay and her par- ents, it would seem mutually bene- ficial for her to live elsewhere. And if she were psychologically able to make the break, she should move out--and find work and lod- gings in a disant community. Thus situated, she might in time, with psychiatric help, recover emo- ional balance, and develop a ma- ture compassionate acceptance of her parents' frailties. As a wage-earner living with her parents at present, Kay owes them regular payment for room and board--at the prevailing rate in your area--and she should meet these payments, whether or not they "need" extra money. But jf the parents are trying to squeeze addiional special donations from her, just because she's home and unmarried, their behaviour is un- fair.

Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood (AP)--The dancing champions--Marge and Gower-- offer this advice to help stop the rising divorce rate: Husbands should take their wives out dancing more often. The couple have certainly made dancing pay dividends. They think that foxtrots and waltzes can prove profitable for any wedded pair. "Why should romance stop after marriage?' argued Marge. "A boy and girl dance their feet off when they're courting. As soon as they step before the préacher, they give up dancing entirely. It never occurs to them that dancing could be jus as much fun after they're married." "The .most romantic thing a couple can do is dance," Gower countered. '"There's no other way they can get so close." DUBS CAN LEARN What if the husband's foxtrot is the kind that might be considered grounds for divorce? '"There are plenty of dance schools that could cure that," Gower replied. Although they spend a good many of their workday hours dancing, the champions still like to flit around the dance floor when they g0 out at night. "I enjoy nothing more," Marge. said Here is a simple trick to soften butter in a hurry for sandwiches. Fill a small china bowl with boil- ing water and let stand until the bowl is really hot, Then pour out the butter. In a minute or two it the water. It a minute or two it will be just right for spreading. Consumer Section, Canada De- partment of Agriculture.

HOUSEHOLD HINT Clothes that are stained with perspiration can often be restored by sponging the stained area with warm water to which has been added a few drops of vinegar, Then sprinkle with baking soda, or powdered pepsin, and work this into the fabric. Keeping the stain moist while the soda remains in the fabric, let this stand for a cou- ple of hours. Brush off powder and rinse thoroughly. Another color res- toration method for perspiration stains is to dampen the area and hola it over an open ammonia bot- tle, THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Wednesday, February 27, 1952 7 4 CHILD GUIDANCE:- A Psychological Problem By GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.D, Occasionally bedwetting in a child over four aor five has a phy- sical cause needing medical atten- tion. It might be well, indeed, for any bedwetting child to be carefully checked by the physician. But most bedwetting causes warped personalities. . UNHAPPY EMOTIONS Bedwetting in itself hardly could harm personality. But the unhappy emotions ¢ ted with it b of parents who don't understand the child and can't manage their own emotions, can do no end of harm. Many a child from four to ten or twelve has for years been rebuked, punished and shamed for wetting the bed, and angrily re- minded by his mother of the extra work he has caused her, feeling himself surrounded by a cloud of disgrace. : ' How can he. feel he is loved as he would like to be loved? He jus! won't get a normal amount of ap proval and affectionate compane ionship. And if 'there are other children in the family, he will be sure he is less loved than they are. This increasing jealousy and inse- curity renders him the more un- stable emotionally, the very best condition for furthering his bed- wetting. YOUNG SON CURIOUS When our youngest son. now the father of four children under seven, was about nine, he came into my study and said: 'What are you doing, Daddy?" "Writing fathers and mothers about their problems with their children," I replied. Then he wanted to know what some of these problems were, and I read him a letter I was answer- ing from a mother worried be- cause her son seven, was still wetting the bed occasionally. The mother revealed that she and the father had often grown vexed with the lad over this matter. "We think he is big enough to know better" she said. My little son replied: "That's nothing to get worried about. The boy doesn't do it on purpose. He's asleep when it happens. Why don't you tell her to put a rubber sheet under his regular sheet and call him up once or so a night, or get him an alarm clock the way you did for me? EXCITED OR WORRIED YMaybe the boy has an accident after a day when he was excited or worried about something. I think that is what used to happen to me. When it did happen I would just get up and get some dry LILLIAN MAE MARSH SCHOOL OF DANCING Saturdays © Character Masonic oe Ballet Temple ® Toe ° ® Barre Wednesdays ® lep 18 Patricio For Information Phone 3-7253 clothes, and if I couldn't find them Mother or you would help me find them.

Says Flour Bleach No Health Menace London (CP)--Lord Horder, phys sician to the royal family, has assured the British public that bread from "agenised" flour has had nothing to do with the out. break of nervous or other diseases in the country. His assurance followed an attack in the House of Lords against the use of agene, a chemical agent employed by British bakers for more than 25 years to give = whiter and larger loaf. Charges had also been made by a Hull practitioner that thousands had died and the health of many more had been endangered by eat ing the chemically-treated bread. Replying to those who demanded instant abolition of agene, Lord Horder said: "We don't say, be- cause chromium has been used in motor car manufacture for the past 20 years, that therefore the ine crease in road accidents is due to chromium." The same "fallacy'" in elemen- tary logic entered into the current bread-whitening controversy.
