She feels uncomfort- ablesin crowds where her frankness and wit are often Is Frank, Outspoken Person By STEWART MacLEOD OTTAWA (CP) -- When you ask Maryon Pearson a question she doesn't beat around the bush wondering how a prime minister's wife should reply. She has a disarming tendency to be herself. There is no automatic 'I love it" in reply to questions about what it's like being the wife of the prime minister, Nor are there any "'it's so lovely being here" responses when Mrs. Pearson would rather be some- where else. Her frankness, coupled with a sharp, sometimes tart, wit, has tended to generate some criti- cism among the vote-conscious hierarchy of the Liberal party. And some Opposition strategists fairly glow with glee when Mrs. Pearson says something they consider less than prime minis- terial. In print, Mrs. Pearson's sharp comments appear harsher than of the fun. something, and the girl will say 'just a moment, Mrs. Pearson.' I feel a lot more relaxed when she goes.

(CP Photo) CHILD GUIDANCE With Younger By GARRY C. MYERS, PhD The eldest of several children may sometimes tease and bully the younger ones and try to avoid chores at home. But at work or play away from his home, or at home when the other children are away, he may excel, be agreeable and | |happy. Often you may have been im- pressed with the desirable ways of any one child while spending some time away from several brothers or sisters. A-mother writes: "My 13-year-old boy has an excess of energy and if not kept busy all the time, he is teasing and picking on his two younger brothers (six and eight) until he has them in tears. "This summer he has been going to work with his father. who owns a car lot, where he waxes and polishes and cleans cars, "Our son goes there four days a week and everything at home goes peaceful during those days. The three days he is at home he just teases and torments his little brothers continuously. WORKS HARD "While at the car lot he works hard and is always looking for Older Boy Has Trouble Brothers However, when you see your son . clearly picking on younger brothers, send him away from them for an hour or two. Be decisive on this matter. Meanwhile, ask yourself if those younger brothers don't annoy him sometimes. See that they don't impose on him or annoy him when his friends come in. Make sure the older boy en- joys sharing in the family con- versation and that you and dad listen to what he says. You par- ents should encourage him in express: his opinions and ideas, and have a share in the everyday program of the family. Your bays' ages are so differ- ent that they can't be good |playmates most of the time. |Aim to help the younger broth- ers to have playmates of their own age and for this oldest boy also to have his normal play- mates. of the Oshawa General Hospi tal, Mrs. Harry Taylor, first vice-president, and Mrs. A.

DISLIKES CAMPAIGNS She has also found that some of her: casual friends stopped phoning her when the Pearsons moved into the official prime minister's residence. '"'My close friends haven't changed, course, but others who used to call occasionally now feel that I am too busy. I have to call them." Mrs, Pearson does not like election campaigns, and she was glad that her daughter, Mrs, Walter Hannah of Tor- onto, made some trips with the prime minister during the pres- ig, Bag grog her husband is speaking, and when she utters them in the confines of a small room. The bare quotations don't carry the twinkling eyes and the wry, warm smile that usually accom- pany them. As a result, many of her friends think Maryon Pearson is one of the most misunderstood women in Canada. She has been accused of being "very private' -- although she doesn't quite know herself what that means--of being mysteri- ous, dull and disinterested. Her sense of humor has been de- scribed as overly-caustic, cut- ting and razor-sharp. LAUGHS E/SILY The Canadian .eople gener- ally, says one friend, don't really know Mrs, Pearson, "And| there is no way to get to know her in large crowds where she feels uncomfortable." After seeing and hearing about the "public Mrs. Pear- son," a reporter approached an interview in her hotel suite with consider a ble trepidation. She didn't appear to be an easy per- son to chat with. But the fears proved to be a massive miscon- ception. Maryon Pearson, away from the hub-bub of politics, is a warm, mild - mannered grand- mother whose laughter bubbles out at the slightest provocation. Any tartness in her wit is di- rected at herself, not at others. It her public frankness appears unnecessarily blunt, her conver- sational frankness appears warmly honest. "Do you enjoy the role of a prime minister's wife?" "Yes, I do enjoy many as- pects. But I do miss not having our own things around us. The furniture is all government- owned on Sussex Drive, and even the things in the cottage belong to the government. Our own things are in storage, and I do long to have them around Another thing she dislikes is being recognized everywhere oc lly will whisper to him from behind. She prefers not to be publicly recognized, and elaborate introductions em- barrass her. "She would have every right to complain," her husband has said. "When she married me, she expected a quiet life as the wife of a history teacher--I was her teacher and I think she married me to get through her final year. She did get through that year, but how she got through the last 40 I'll never know." If Mrs. Pearson feels like smoking on the platform, she'll put a cigarette in her black holder; if she feels like pow- dering her nose, she'll do that too. One of her ambitions is to travel through the Greek _Is- lands with her husband, with- out having to worry. about schedules, hats and public ap- pearances, "I'd love to spend a whole month doing that." But travelling for the sake-of travelling doesn't appeal to her. "IT just hate packing and un- packing." Mrs. Pearson loves the week- ends she spends with her hus- band at their Harrington Lake cottage, where she can romp around in slacks and bathing suit, sitting in the sun to read historical novels. She tends to dote over her nine grandchil- dren, and the best weekends for her are when all nine are at the cottage, shut off from the public eye.

Student Group Apologixes LONDON (AP) -- A student group apologized Monday night for a prank in which five male students raided Princess Anne's school and two of them claimed to have sneaked undetected into her dormitory while she slept. The apology, to Elizabeth Clarke, headmistress of Ben- eden's school, where the 15- year-old princess is a resident- student, came from the Kings- ton and district students' chari- ties committee, They stressed that the students' action was un- authorized. The five students, all in their 20s, who broke into the school during the weekend, declined the use of their names when they related their escapade to the newspapers. They said they pulled the stunt to publicize stu-| dent charity week. Beachville; Mrs. Brown, Orillia; Miss Xenia Knechtel, Hanover; Mrs. J. J. Brown, Mrs. W. W. Hollands, Mrs. V. L.
