GROWING WITH YOUR
CHILD
When They Close the Door.

No sooner had Helen finished the
supper dishes than she ran upstairs
and into her room, closing the door
behind her with finality. Her father
looked up inquiringly after a few mo-
ments from the game of checkers he
was playing with ten year old Ross
whats the matter with Helen?"
he asked his wife, who had settled
down to her knitting after helping
Helen clear up and put away the food.
"I'm sure I don't know" replied
Helen's mother, with frown of con-
centration. "She spends more time
alone! 1t bothers me a little"
"Helen!" called her father, and
when she opened the door to respond,
aren't We good enough to associate
with? Why are you off up there alone"
ooh, don't know. It's quieter up
here to read, that's ALL" the fifteen
year old replied, pleasantly, but with
hint of reserve.
Such an incident, which might seem
odd in a younger child, must be looked
upon as a commonplace in the family
that boasts a teen age child. Boy or
girl, the time comes when the desire
for privacy, the Impulse to hold back
from constant association with ones
family appears. From the spontan-
eous, bubbling child energies gradually
the more reserved adolescent, who has
a life and thoughts of his own, that
he must protect from the too-loving
and intimate scrutiny of his family.
The door that he closes when he
enters his own room symbolizes his
need of becoming an individual, of
standing alone, or thinking his own
| thoughts and imparting them to his
parents only when he chooses.
Sometimes this Impulse toward seclu-
sion from the family is misunderstood.
Parents may criticize or even chide
| youngSter for behavior his age and
stage of development have made per-
fectIy natural. Parents who would
Indignantly deny wanting to pry into
| their ehildren's affairs are neverthe-
less often guilty of what looks like
| lust that to the sensitive young
creature who is engaged in the mys-
terious business of getting acquainted
with himself as a person. Because
| some of his ideas and feelings are so
new and strange to him he is very
ready to be suspicious of what looks to
him like curiosity--though of course
in reality it is the same loving in
terest his parents have always shown,
but which he has never before re-
sented.
When a boy or girl shuts his family
out of his room from time to time it
is foolish to feel hurt. A parent
who tries to have real understanding
of the life changes that are going
on will refrain from comment, and
will realize that only by respecting the
growing individuality of the youth will
he keep the bond of sympathy strong
through this period when it is so
important for his child to become
| acquainted with himself.

George A. Selke, president of St.

meeting of the Virginia and Ely clubs
at BURNSIDE Lodge last evening.
Governor Selke is recognized as one

Fall weather is approaching, and
with it we can expect, fog, rain, and
sleet. Streets will be wet and slippery,
and windshields will be coated with ice.
Driving under such conditions makes
extra precautions essential.
In these articles I have tried to stress
the Importance of constant attention
when driving-not one second should
be given to any other matters while
you are driving. Long strips of straight
pavement encourages higher speed;
driving becomes more or less monot-
onous and invites inattention. Just
one moment of inattention, especially
when weather conditions are not very
favorable, may put you out of circu-
lation forever.
Don't let anything distract you! Pay
attention to your driving!

That doctrine, as unsound doc
trines always must, has given way
to a better one. The modern bust
ness man, if he expects to remain
In business and warrant your pat
ronage year after year, doesn't ex-
pect you to protect yourself.
He assumes the obligation of pro-
tecting you. He makes sure that
his quality is high. He religiously
subjects his product to tests. He
introduces improvements. And he
establishes price which is the min
imum on which he can remain in
business.
For this change, which is one of
the most important Improvements
In business, advertising has been

Something unusual. Three thou
sand miners quit their jobs at the
Lansford, Pennsylvania, colleries, as a
protest against increases in dues and
assessments levied by their union Of
ficers. Maybe they thought the OF
ficers were getting enough and maybe
they objected to having the dues COL
lectible through their employer who
made deductions from their wages
mandatory and placed the workers in
a closed shop arrangement. In the
face of all the closed shop and check
off systems being preached by the
heads of the coal miners this action in
Pennsylvania comes as surprise and
as a protest against the heavy dues col
lected by the heads for the work OF
running the financial affairs of the
workers.

ness. A man who advertises must
be scrupulous in his integrity. He
cannot write lies. He has to live up
to all claims. This means that you,
as a customer, can buy from such a
man with absolute confidence.
Not long ago Owen D. Young,
one of Americas clearest thinkers
and great business executive, de-
clared that:
Dishonesty in various forms is
becoming rarer in business. When
ever it occurs it is exploited in
newspapers, because it is the I'M
usual, not the common, thing.
"A store keeper may short-meas-
ure or short-weight his customer
and make a little. He may even in
duce clerk to short-measure or
short-weight. But he cannot build a
big business on that basis. Honesty
and uprightness must exist in great
business organizations.
And it must also exist in smaller
business ganiZations, which expect
to grow large.
Whenever a business man adver-
tises, it is sign that he wants to
operate an honest business, one
from which you can buy with con-
fidence and trust.
Advertising is thus the guiding
light which you can follow in getting
more for your money.
Daily it leads millions of Ameri-
can customers to better values, to
greater satisfaction, to the serenity
which comes from dealing with men
and organizations they know they
can trust.

President RooSevelts address of Sep
TENDER IL was another strong indica-
ton that it is the Chief Executives
hope to accomplish this nations OBJ
jectives and stop aggression without
involving the United States in all
out war.
His order to the Navy to clear
the sea lanes to our defense of Nazi
raiders and submarines fits into the
pattern of his previous moves: the
destroyer trade, the neutrality patrol,
the occupation of Iceland. That pat
tern appears clearly to be to do what
ever is essential to keep the Nazis
from strangling freedom of the seas
and to keep communication lines to
our own ouptosts and to England clear,
but to go no further.
The Presidents attitude as expressed
in that talk should do much to allay
the fears of those who have dreaded
the possibility of another expedition
airy force to Europe. The President
stated clearly the grave nature of the
step he was taking and the risks it
involved. But no one listening with
an open mind to his calm, almost sad
recital of the events which led to his
decision could escape the conclusion
that he had reached it reluctantly
had in fact almost driven to it by the
remorseless march of events.
Of course it would be too much tC
expect those leaders who have blinded
themselves to everything but their de-
termination to force their views on the
American people in opposition to oul
elected leadership to give the Presi-
dent credit for any sincerity, and their
comments next morning went right or
echoing the NaI propaganda that
Roosevelt is a "warmonger."
Most ridiculous comment was that
of Senator Nye, who branded the
speech the "most Hitleresque" the
President has yet made. Makes one
wonder if Nye ever read Hitler's rant
ing and raving about incidents In
Danzig, Poland and the Sudeten wher
he was trying to whip up war hysteris
in Germany. The calm, dispassionate
tone of the President was quite con-
trast.
The flood of anti-Semitic propaganda
which has come into my office in the
past month, all from sources oppos-
ing the Administrations foreign policy
is one of the most disturbing devel-
opments of this whole controversy
These propagandists who pick on the
Jews as an easy and popular target
seem to forget that once persecution
of minority groups starts, it spreads
like a prairie fire and no minority
escapes. And we have scores of min.
GRITTY groups here in America, botf
religious and racial.
More startling was to have Lind.
bergh, chief spokesman for the America
First committee, use the anti-Semitis
material in his speech at Des Moines
We hardly expected him to stoop tt
such tactics or to ape so closely the
Nazi propaganda line.

WHAT OTHERS SAY

Grand Rapids Herald Review-Be-
ginning about ten years ago the ma
tional administration and the politi-
clans said that everything was wrong
with American industry. 1t lid every
thing in its power to discourage it
1t added to it's burdens. 1t planned
political persecution of it. 1t laid all
the faults of the nation on its factory
steps. Now the nation is paying the
price. Industry, not encouraged to
expand and discouraged to improve
cannot meet the requirements laid upon
it, At the same time the politicians
said that the American workman was
doing too much. He worked too many
hours. 1t should not be necessary to
work but a short time each week anC
have the rest of the time for beautiful
leisure Today the work of the nation
cannot be done. So it is in nearly
everything. America has had no policy
of any kind except the crazy ideas Of
few unstable politicians.
