ONE FOR ALL

Those pho are lucky enough to
be born into a large family haze
the advantage Of companionship
missed by those toho must gro,o
up alone. But they also have the
disadvantage, if you choose to
call it that, Of having to learn
uery early to compromise. They
must often sacrifice phat they
,ount for something that is better
for all. Giving up a chance to see
the last thrilling chapter OF
"Deadeye Dan" to take care OF
little sister is a major childhood
tragedy. But it makes so much
easier the process Of gro,oing into
a generous, unselfsh adult.

Search for Star

Last Christmas eve, as shepherds
did nearly 1000 years ago, wise
men, schooled in augury, searched
the skies for a sign. But the mod
ern magi searched not for the bright
star that heralded peace on earth,
good will to men. They not only
looked but listened, with ears alert
ly tuned. For a gleam against the
zenith and the zoom of distant mo-
tors might herald the vanguard of
winged hordes of death.

over the management of his own
home out in the country. But he
insists we leave my mother behind.
He will see that she always has
plenty, and of course I can come
and 60 as I please, but he will not
consent to her coming to us. He
says that any one of a score of fine
nurses will gladly rent the extra
rooms in my mothers house, which
is across the street from the big
hospital. But when I only suggest
ed this plan, my mother was so
agitated and angered that she told
me not to allow him to enter the
house again. I am distracted be-
tween the fear of losing the man
love and respect, and destroying
my mothers last happiness in life,
for she is not club or card-playing
or even church-going woman, her
one child has been her world, and it
take away her grandchildren and
myself she will very probably never
forgive me, or wish to see us again.
"Please tell me where my duty lies
and what my course ought to be-"
Here, Ann, is a perfect example
of the predatory parent. Your moth
er never gave you brother or Sis
ter, a background of old friends and
a circle of young ones. She kept
you selfishly her own, trying to shut
away everything that she could not
control and share in your life. When
young love came to you, she must
| make the conditions under which
you might accept it; you say it was
a condition of your marrying at all
| that you live at home, and I can
imagine exactly who made that stip-
ulation. Now, old and cranky, and
cut away from all the normal inter
ests of age; books, friends, clubs,
games, charities, war activities,
having seen your first marriage
wrecked because of her selfishness,
she would calmly deny you another
and a more promising union anc
condemn you to the position of q
servant to her and to the children
Move to Home of Own.
What you ought to do and what
know your good sense will promp
you to do, is to marry your George
quietly, paying no attention to the
scolding and whining at home, move
your children into younger anc
more normal atmosphere in the new
home, resent nothing, remember
nothing disagreeable, constantly
come to see your mother, bring tht
children in, and so wear down he,
resistance and win her to the nev
order of things in spite of herself.
And when the time comes, Ann
and it comes fast, prepare yourself
to treat your own children with gen
erosity and understanding. Get
through your head once and for al
that young families don't like Il
have old men and old women quar-
tered upon them. There are eXcep
tions of course; there are mother
whose services to sons or daugh
ters' families are simply indispensa
BILE; there are old fathers and moth
ers who are the most beloved an
essential members of the group.
But the old persons themselve
know perfectly well when they ar
troublesome and unwelcome. Whe
the grandchildren make too muc
noise and Grandpa snarls at them
when Grandma is sure that girl j

the old people can't find chair c

HITLER INFLUENCE

II Hitler moves in on Spain, he may
accomplish at one blow what we
have failed to do in nine months OF
diplomatic discussions with Argen-
tina. He may force that South Amer
lean country into break with the
Axis.
It was Argentina which principally
gurnmed the works at Rio de Janeiro
last January, when astute Sumner
Welles, undersecretary Of state, was
trying to line up all 81 Latin-Amer-
lean countries behind resolution to
break relations.
There Argentina Foreign Minister
Ruiz Guinazu insisted on neutral
ity" and Argentina remained on the
fence.
Rsiz Guinazu is a great admirer
of Spain, is proud of his own Span
ish blood. Furthermore, he points
to Spain's tradition of neutrality"
as the best guarantee of peace.
So if the Germans now attack
Spain, the Argentine government
would almost be forced to come to
the defense of the mother country
by breaking relations with the at
tacking country.

War Minister Tonazzi, friend OF
