always give consideration to a
spade opening. Naturally you
will not open & spade if the bid

It would not be two aces. In all

Therefore West knows that if
he opens a diamond, in all like

Parents Need
Some Rights
OF Their Owr
BY RUTH MILLETT

1t has come at last and it
was long overdue. An educator
has come out in favor of par
ents having some rights of their
own.
parents must be people in
their own right, not just thu
stock figures of the hard-work-
ing father and the self-sacri-
flcing mother" says Miss Edna
Marion Hill, headmistress of a
New York school. "Otherwise
children will get to feel thew
are the center of attention."
So move over, Junior, and
give the grown-ups a chance to
develop their personalities for a
while.
You've had it all your own
way far too long. Your poor old
Nom and Pop are nervous non
entities from worrying about
getting you off to the right start
in life, happy and uninhibited.
Now, maybe, they can occa-
sonally tell you to stop doing
something without giving you a
long, involved explanation or a
coaxing wouldn't you rather
play with the nice red wager
than with Papa's shotgun?"
Given time to develop then
personalities a little, perhaps
they will even stop being afraid
of you.
They may even stop being
afraid of the child experts.
So be quiet, Junior. Yol
aren't the only member of the
family whose personality mus
be allowed to expand. Nam;
