abilities. Social insurance and related
benefits may prevent starvation, but
they do not provide this basic emotional
need.
Job retraining can, for many older
people, mean new incentive, security,
and new status in the eyes Of their
families and communities. For others,
the solution may lie in part-time en-
ployment at reduced wages. thus main
tanning the individual as worker with
earning power. Those chronically i'll
may be able to benefit from rehabilita-
ton programs.
At the turn of the century, our popu-
lation was young and vigorous. One
out Of every two persons was under 20.
Sparked by high birth rate and great
numbers Of young immigrants. America
personifled youth hexing its muscles.
Today a different picture meets the
eye. In the interval, immigration has
almost ceased and the birth rate has
declined. While in 1900 one person in
Is was over 65 today the ratio, is one
in 13. The entire population has doubled;
but those 65 years and over have al
most quadrupled!
Our society has changed, too. Rural
and agricultural in 1900. che Nation is
today an industrial giant, and more
people live in cities than ever before.
Families have altered in character and
manner of living-becoming smaller,
more widely dispersed, and housed to-
day in compact quarters. AS result,
they are less able to support the grow
ing number of older relatives.
Like all our natural resources. the
day Of abundance of our human re-
sources is fast disappearing. With global
commitments, we can no longer afford
the luxury Of frittering away the valu-
able skills and abilities possessed by our
aging population.

Weekly Family Councils Help
Toward Establishing Horn1ony
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

The L. family wants to estab-
lish a family council.
"The P. T. A. recommends 1t"
Mrs. L. explains, land you have
also spoken highly of the plan.
Please tell us just how one goes
about it,"
There's no one way Of doing 1t.
Mrs. L, but the general idea Is
to give the whole family chance
to talk things over. Mabelle
Brooks, who is counselor in a
Chicago high school as well as a
parent, gives her own experience:
"Once a week the whole family
Cat the end Of a meal or some
other convenient time) sits around
a table and talks over some par
ticular problem. One week it may
be the work of the home and each
person (even the littlest) chooses
the task he or she will be re-
sponsible for-during the next
week. We write the jobs chosen
on a blackboard or paper and
have them up where every one
can see them.
Another week the family may
discuss plans for a weekly party,
or a trip to a museum, or the
use of the television set. What
ever rules on any subject are
agreed upon are in effect until the
next meeting. This helps to keep
the home free from nagging and
pleasant for all members.
Allowances, family budgeting
etc. are good things to work
out at a family council, too.
Mrs. Brooks continues. "They
show the children what problems
father and mother face. They
see what makes the family "a

preparation for their future home
life.
"One person can be chairman
for one time or for a week or a
month. another can be secretary
to write down the decisions.
The beauty Of it Is that each
family can adapt the family
council idea to suit their own
needs but 1t helps the group to
work together for something
worth while. They have more
fun and show more affection for
each other"
Parents sometimes resist the
idea Of a family council because
they think it would take the
decisions out of their hands. In
sense. that's just what it is
intended to do, Mrs. L. Naturally,
the children's judgment isn't as
good as that of the parents,
when it comes to the choice of
a new automobile. But how are
the children ever going to improve
their judgment unless they have
chance to talk things over and
hear from their parents just what
reasoning leads to a final choice?
Actually. the interests of chill
dren are much more mature than
we parents are sometimes willing
to admit; and if we want to help
them grow up. we'll develop this
maturity instead of continually
pushing them aside with the as
sertion that, you're too young
to understand"

GOOD PUBLICITY

OUR CONCERN with the tourist trade has been most
pronounced, and the reason is obvious-t is one of the surest
ways of helping this island solve its economic problems. And
that is why attention is frequently called to one phase or
another of the trade as it progresses. The latest step in this
direction is the publicity being given this Island by Pan
American in its nationwide advertising campaign in well
known magazines. Recently scenes of old sugar mills, and of
hotels and beaches have appeared in these magazines.
TO A SNOWBOUND American, chilled by sub-freezing
weather, a picture of his fellow Americans dining on a veranda
in these Islands, or splashng about in the warm crystal-clear
waters OF the Caribbean, stirs up a yearning which can only
be satisfied by a trip down this way. And that is what we
want. Tourists will want accommodations. They will want
to see the entire Islands, take pictures, buy souvenirs, and
greatest of all will take back word Of what it is to be vaca-
tioning in an atmosphere of friendliness and hospitality.
AS | PASSES, and as we become more accustomed
to the tourist trade, we will make better and more complete
preparations, and thus be able to capitalize on the trade to
our advantage. 1t is for this reason that it was good that uni
form fares for taxicabS were set, and more and more other
endeavors will be brought up to standard, to the greatest good
of all
TO MAKE sure that Americans see all there was to be
seen, the Government of Puerto Rico poured seven millions
in the new, luxurious Caribe Hilton, and made sure that cee-
Prfties were on hand for the spectacular opening These are all
lessons to us, and if taken, we, too, will be ready. No such
sum can be spent, but between private capital and loans by
the Federal government, we can offer accommodations to the
greatest number commensurate with our ability to handle
them.
WHILE PAN AMERICAN no doubt, is thinking Of its
own traffic, we are nevertheless grateful that they include.
tempting and enticing scenes of St. Croix, so that Americans
will want to enjoy the wonderful climate and mexcened seen
cry which these Islands offer.
