the squabbling and quarreHng that
mars so many families.
I believe, above everything else,
that you can't rear a family rightly
without religion. Especially a big
family.
Big families seem natural to my
husband and me. He comes from a
family Of eleven children. come
of a family Of twelve children. And
both our families were devoutly re-
ligious as we are devoutly religious.
Not Religious Fanatics
But we try hard not to have our
children become religious fanatics.
We want them to be what we think
they are, normal. healthy, fun-lov-
ing, game playing boys.
The back yard Of our home looks
like a school playground. Baseballs
and bats, basketballs and goals, hori-
zontal bars and parallel bars, ira
pezes and rings are all about the
place. We've got a baseball nine

family.

think it's probably easier to bear and
rear eleven sons than 1t IS to tell
how to rear them.
I have to laugh when people ask
me what my prescription is for a
happy family. I haven't any pre-
scription. haven't any clever
phrase that covers it all.
All I know is that I've just gone
ahead and had eleven sons and
reared them the best I knew how,
with their fathers help.
I've spanked them when they
needed spanking-and every child
needs spanking some time or other
in it's life. If in youth that child
doesn't get a necessary spanking of
which the pain quickly passes but
the memory of the principle of right
conduct remains. that child later is
going to get from life itself the sort
of spankings that never stop hurt
ing. Some Of those late-in-life
spankings bring complete wreck.
Spanked When Necessary
Yes, I've spanked where spank
ing was necessary. But I've reasoned
with my babies where reason served
better than punishment. And I've
worked for them and with them, and
loved them always.
If, there is any real secret in rear
ing children you'll be proud of,
guess that is it; loving them always.
If you love them and they love
you and you both know it, you'll
find astoundingly few reasons for

DEAR MR.. FIXIT: There are two
dogs in the 300 block on S. Walcott

PASS without one or both Of them
chasing or barking at it. They even

One IS a white dog of some sort
and he has bitten two little, girls in
the neighborhood.
Is there some way in which the
owners can be made to keep them
tied up?

Parents of the children who
have been bitten may swear out
warrant at the police station. This
will enable legal steps to be taken.
