Light Nearby May Ease
Seven Corners Jam

Traffic tie-ups at busy Seven
Corners on Lee boulevard at Falls
Church may be eased by installa-
ton Of a new traffic light at the
Willston Apartments, the State
Highway Department believes.
The office Of Fairfax resident
Engineer o. T. Aichel said the
light will be installed at the inter-
section of the boulevard and Pat
rick Henry drive.
Although the signal will be sew
eral hundred yards from Seven
Corners, highway officials expect
that commuters using Leesburg
Pike going west toward Seven Cor
ners will be encouraged to cut
of the pike, go through the apart
ment area and get onto the boule-
ward at Patrick Henry drive.
Traffic using Wilson boulevard
also could use the drive as an ac-
cess to the boulevard, instead Of
going to Seven Corners.
Highway officials concede that
the seven-Way intersection is one
LOT the worst traffic bottlenecks in
the State. A major traffic sepa-
ration. probaly including an over
pass, is considered the only per-
manent solution.
Converging at Seven Corners
are Leesburg Pike, Wilson boule-
ward, Hillwood avenue. Sleepy

Judge BIames Parents
In Many Cases When.
Children Go Wronq
BY the Asseeiaied Press

VIRGINIA BEACH. Va, Oct. "a.
When Johnny strays off the
straight and narrow. the basic
blame probably is with the par
ents, the Virginia Parent-Teacher
Convention was told last night.
Judge James H. Montgomery of
Richmond said far too many par
ents just don't know how to raise
children.
They push them forward by
punishments and prohibitions" he
told the 600 delegates at the Cava-
lier Hotel.
Emotional Needs Stressed.
This does not mean that chill
dfen do not require wise correc-I
ton. They do. But it is also
necessary that emotional needs
and desires of the child are ade-
quately satisfied, otherwise we find
the maladjusted human being
the child who gets into difficulty
with the law" the speaker
asserted.
Judge Montgomery, associate
judge of Richmond's Juvenile and
Domestic Relations Court, listed
some faults of parents.
He said they either don't give
the child enough love, or they
dote on him too much. Or the
parents have too many outside
lntereSts-"too much golf and
bridge"-when they should be
providing happy home for the
child.
Tragedy of Divorces.
He thought divorce one of the
most tragic occurrences affecting
children.
The effect of divorce upon
children is the worst plague that
ever struck this country" he de-
clared. Fifty to. 80 per cent of
juvenile delinquents are from
broken homes"
Another speaker at yesterdays
PTA session was DR.. r. O. Nelson,
Newport News school superin-
tendent. who scored those who
blame the school system for any
