Problems OAdolescence
Believed Greater Today

strength of our American demo-
cracy is based upon the idea of the
dignity of man and dependent upon
the unity and strength of the fam
lily. Parents must be ready and
able to help their sons adapt them
selves to the unchanging as well
as to the changing things. And that
is a big job, if the parents them
selves have not grown up.
Worry and conflict can be eased
if we accept the complications of
adolescence as normal; if we ac-
cept the boys growing independ-
ence as desirable. Well have to
help along that development of
independence, instead of blocking
it. Father and mother are doing
their son no favor by keeping him
tied too long to the family apron
strings. On the other hand, there is
still place for affection and guild
ance; while the child may rebel if
he is kept thoroughly under author
ity, he will feel rejected and lost
if he believes that his father and
mother are pushing him too rapid
ly toward independence.
What can the parents do to make
| adolescence easier for their son
and for them? They can, first of
all, understand this "conflict" OF
adolescence. They can be prepared
to relax authority gradually. per
hitting the boy to make more OF
his decisions-yet letting him I'M
derstand that his parents are still
in his corner. Helping a boy
through adolescence requires more
time and thought than they have
probably given to the boys up
bringing in the youngsters earlier
years. But time devoted to such a
project is definitely worth while.
Time is needed to talk things
over-to discuss the boys prob
lens and answer his questions in
the light of 1916. 1t is futile to back
UP a parental command or sugges-.
ton or statement with the ancient
argument: when I was a boy
did so and So" The boy has a per-
feet answer: '"Times have chang
ed" They have, indeed!
One doesn't become a good par
ent automatically. Probably moth
ers of young babies get together
more, and learn more from one
another than the fathers of adde's
cents do. But that doesn't have
to be so. If you think you have a
serious problem with your growing
son, you can get some good, sound,
useful advice from staff members
of the Family Service society, the
Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Brigade
Boys club, Shaw Boys club.

Decision Reserved
In Insurance Case
BY the Associated Press

CUMBERLAND, Md, Feb. 26.-
Following hearing on a demurrer
filed by counsel for the defense,
Associate Judge Walter C. Capper
yesterday reserved decision in the
damage action instituted by an aunt
of an Army aerial gunner against
the Peoples Life Insurance Co. of
Washington, D. c. The case is said
to have no precedent in Maryland
The aunt, Mrs. Mollie Moral
asked $1,000 damages, contending
the company refused payment on a
81 900 policy on the life of S/Sergt.
Gerald A. Hevner, who was declared
dead by the War Department on
September %, 1914, after having
been reported missing in action over
the North Sea September II, 1943.
A clause stating the policy would
not be in effect if the insured en-
gagged in military action, was
changed, and a rider" attached
June 8, 1912, permitting him to en-
gage in military service, but specify
ing that the policy would be void if
he lost his life while on duty in a
submarine or plane.
Counsel for the insurance company
argued that the clause gave the
plaintiff no grounds for action, while
the plaintiff contends the defense
must provide proof Hevner was
killed in the bomber.

DR.. Brockman declared that the

Already beset with many problems,

Peninsula have a new worry-feed.
Fingers are crossed on the new
wheatless feed ordered by the Agri-
culture Department as a means of
conserving wheat for shipment
abroad.
The quality of feed already is low,
according to producers, and as a
result more feed per pound of broil-
ers must be used to maintain the
usual marketing weights

Boosts Are Sought
For Montgomery's
Welfare Workers

In move to alleviate the "criti-
cal manpower shortage" in the
Montgomery County Welfare De-
partment staff, attributed by Mrs.
Dorothy Kurtz, executive secretary
to inadequate salaries, the County
Commissioners today decided to
confer with the heads of the State
Standard Salary Board and Welfare
Department in an effort to increase
salaries of county welfare workers.
Declaring I'VE just cannot operate
welfare department under pres
ent salary scales" Mrs. Kurtz told
the commissioners the welfare de-
partment has only three clerical
workers out of an authorized staff
of 9 and IA case workers out of
an authorized strangth of 18.
She explained the salaries are set
by the State Standard Board and
that the department is able to pay
junior stenographer only $1,150 a
year and a senior stenographer
Sl,450. A Junior case worker, re-
quired to have a college degree, re-
ceives only $500 a year and a
senior case worker, who must have
two years of graduate work, receives
only 81 800, she said.
She told the board that under a
law approved at the 1945 session
of the State legislature the State
Standard Salary Board was author
lied to approve a maximum in
crease of 20 per cent in the salaries
OF Welfare Board employees when-
ever prevailing wages and living
costs warranted such an increase.
She explained, however, that the
law did not stipulate who would
pay the increase, although the

ers have expressed a willingness to
do so.

Trained Personnel
Called First Need in
Virginia Health Drive
by the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 26.-More
beds are needed for tuberculosis
control in Virginia. Miss Ellen H
Smith, president of the Virginia
tuberculosis Association. said here
yesterday. She added, however, that
beds alone will not solve the serious
problems facing Virginia in the
control of the disease.
THE Virginia tuberculosis Associ-
alton does not believe that We can
develop the full use of the sana-
torium beds we now have until the
question of more adequate salaries
for trained physicians and nurses,
as we'll as technicians and other
personnel, have been provided
There are at present approximately
$50 beds which are vacant IN our
sanatoria largely because of the
shortage of physicians.
New beds, as badly needed as
they are, would increase the acute
condition we now have at to trained
personnel unless more adequate
provision is made for salaries and
and wages.
"At Catawba Sanatorium, we un-
derstand from the health depart
ment, there is only one physician
in addition to the superintendent
to care for 300 i'll persons. Bed
patients-and these are the type
who are most usually infectious to
others-are constantly refused ad-
mittance to sanatoria, because there
is no one to wait on them and give
them medical care. AS for the use
of the most modern methods OF
treatment, under present conditions
obviously physicians do not have
the time to provide it adequately.
"The State Health Department
requested, DR.. Riggin tells us, the
addition of 100000 for the oiennium
to the appropriations bill for health
work in order to man and operate
the present sanatoria adequately
This amount has not been allowed
or at least an entirely too small
part of it,
