Children Need Independence
AS Well AS Firm Guidance

TEN. Travelling, for instance.
All I ever want now is a chance
to live comfortably in a place Of
my own choosing. I think l have
knocked around just about enough.
Other parents who are still trying
to give their children the kind of
standards that will help them to
live their lives fearlessly will un.
doubtedly find real encouragement
in that hero's appreciation for the
firm way in which his parents
made him do what they knew was
right-even when he was too young
to unders' and their reasons.
And if they are really wise they
will also see a warning in his
words of appreciation. Just as i'm
portant as giving a child the right
guidance when he is Young, Is
knowing when to turn him loose
to make his own mistakes, and to
discover for himself what he wants
out of life.

Inc farm parents of an Iowa
boy, who received for him the
posthumous award of the Congress
slonal Medal of Honor, shared with
newspaper readers some of their
sons last letters.
In those letters the young lieu
tenant, who grew up on a peaceful
Iowa farm and died in far away
New Guinea, tried to express his
gratitude for the things his parents
had taught him and which he had
found in his years away from
nome to be important.
He wrote: Never more than in
the past year have 1 realized how
lucky have been to have you and
Papa for my parents. and the
Things that you have given me are
SO valuable as to be immeasurable
For example, the honesty that you
mad such a hard time getting into
me has given me a great satisfac-
ton, in that now no one would think
OF questioning it. I have found that
1t pays a lot to have people trust
me.
Il have looked back many a time
and seen the reason for a lot Of
the things you made me do and
would not let me do. I couldn't see
Why at the time, but a thousand
and one things have happened since
that have SHOWN me where I was
wrong.
I'm glad that you didn't force
me to stay at home. For one thing
l wasn't cut out to be a farmer
never could have been satisfied
there. Then again it gave me a
chance to make my own mistakes
and find out myself.
