SIDE-STEPPING
RESPONSIBILITY
EMMA GARY WALLACE

Hilda is about three years of age.
There is now another baby in the
family, and so her charming young
mother has her hands quite full.
Hilda very early must have under
gone some experience which initiated
a tendency to disclaim responsibility
When anything unpleasant happened
even when she knew she was really
and truly to blame. Of course no one
remembered this unfortunate occur
, renee.
} Mrs. Thornton, the little girls
mother, was worried now because
Hilda SO often told an out t-and-out
wrong story to establish an alibi for
herself. When water was spilled on
the rug, she was quite likely to look
up sweetly at the one who was right
there and saw her do it and say, "My
mummy did that! Hilda sorryn'
In fact, her power of invention and
resourcefulness is getting out of
things was quite amazing, and often it
was almost impossible not to laugh at
the rapidity with which the child
could side-step that from which she
wanted to be free.
At first, relatives and friends ad-
vised Hilda's mother not to pay any
attention to the little ones readiness
to get out Of things.
"That's just a passing phase" one
after another of them assured the busy
young mother. at is a good plan not
to pay any attention to what Hilda
does about such things. Otherwise,
you'll be likely to impress upon her
mind that what she says and does un-
der such circumstances will receive at
tention, and then she may continue
simply to secure that attention. She'll
soon get over the habit of concocting
those queer little yarns"
But it didn't work out that way. In
stead of that, the child seemed to de-
velop an even greater faculty for in
vention for the sake of denial.
Even when her face was smeared
with berry pie, she looked up serenely
and declared, "Hilda good girl. jamie
Cher little cousin) eat berry pie. say
no, no. but jamie wouldn't listen."
AS Hilda's mother thought the mat
ter over, she could bring to mind sew
eral Of her own acquaintance who
never, according to their account,
were to blame for anything. Those
persons were not looked upon as de-
pendable, and as Hilda's mother saw
it, they must have formed this habit
when they were young and kept on
fostering it.
1t did not seem sensible to her to let
Hilda continue to develop this habit.
So the next time her little daughter
told fairy tale" of this kind, Mrs.
Thornton at once brought her to ac-
count
"No, Hilda," she said firmly, "Janie
didn't break the glass tumbler. You
let it fall and it broke. Don't you re-
member"
"Janie broke tumbler," Hilda insist
ed, looking straight into her mothers
eyes.
What was to be done? No one had
actually seen what happened, but
jamie was not at hand when the glass
fell.
Mrs. Thornton took her small
daughter by the hand, led her into a
side room and placed her in a chair.
"Please stay here, Hilda," she said,
"until you are able to tell Mother the
true story about the tumbler. | want
you to think about what really hap
pened, and then come and tell me

Because live in democracy, am free to write as see and hear. No Gestapo agents jogs my elbow when my soft, black pencil writes what have heard for you. No OGPU spy silences my battered typewriter's keys as they chatter out the story nave wit messed for you Few men and women own this precious freedom today. I must guard it well,
 write-fearlessly. dispassionately, with out prejudice whatever see and hear. It isn't quite history, and it isn't quite itera- ture, but it has living blood. sift the grain of importance from the chaff of unimportant detail in what one man says or another man does-hoping that will impart to you a true picture of what goes on in this peculiar world of ours.
 THAT'S why, at high noon or at bleak mid
 night, am ready at the jangle of tel phone bell at the Staccato chatter of the news tickers' keys, at the gruff bark of the city editor.
 That's why I'm always at the scene-when lire engines roll: when men can't wait for the law, but turn to knife or gun or bludgeon: when orators debate; when men with pow CT meet to shape destiny.
 That's why may seem hardboiled, callous tough when snoop around and ask imperti- nent questions.

Ninety per cent we're for overtime
