An annoyed hostess asks: "Just
what is the proper function of

I line these towels up in a con-
spicuous place so they can easily
be noticed and invariably find not
a one used. But-and here is
where my chief complaint comes
in do find signs that the large
family towels have been used. So
there's nothing to do but throw
all these in the laundry, and put

considerably more laundering
than to wash a few little towels.

Dorothy Dix
Mother Doesn't Always Know Best
% In Choosing Careers for Children

DEAR MISS DIX: I believe that
parents should guide their chill
dren in the choice of a career. I
am determined that nothing shall
interfere with my own plans for
my daughter, to whom I have
given the best of care and up
bringing. Very few children really
know what they want to do. For
instance. my daughter at the age
of 16 aspired to the stage because
her best friend wanted to be an
actress. Then later another
friend enthused her about being
an artist. Still another wanted
her to be a reporter. Another
nurse. And each one in turn had
q temporary influence upon her.
So who is better suited to choose
a career for a child, the mother
who knows her child's every fail
ing, every good point. or the child
herself who hardly understands
her own needs?
A READER.
Answer: A mother has q right
to influence her child, but not to
dominate her. She has a right
to guide her child into the path
she Is best fitted to follow, but
she has no right to force the child
into it against her strong disin-
clination. Every child has a right
to its own life and to live it in
its own way, provided it does no
harm to anyone else, and no
mother has the right to take. this
away from it, and make it con-
form to her pattern.
I fully agree with you that par
ents should help their children
to decide on their careers and
that they are. or at least they
should be, better fitted than any,
one else to steer them in the right
directions because they have had
the children under observation
ever since their birth and should
know in what directions their
bents lie.
But it is amazing how few par
ents are able to do this, and how
many fathers and mothers can be
with child 20 years and never
even notice whether it is deft

with its fingers or awkward;
whether it is. good at figures or
bad. In the generality of cases,
unless a child has some over
whelming talent that knocks his
parents over, they apparently
never notice his individual traits
of character.
1t would be all to the good If
the parents followed the child's
lead in choosing it's career for it,
but the trouble comes when they
want to make the child what they
want him to be instead of what
nature intended him to be. Mother
doesn't always know best, because
she isn't the girl and can't enter
into her thoughts and desires. She
is a different personality and what
might suit her may not suit
daughter at all.
In the end children have to
choose their own way of life, and
all that mother can do is to stand

The decision on sending Ameri-
can troops to Europe should not
rest with Congress but with the
military, Representative Hale, Re-
publican, of Maine, told the Dis
trict League of Republican Women
yesterday.
IF we go to the point where
we say we must have resolution
or bill put through Congress every
time a shipment of troops is sent
to Europe. we might as we'll give
up" Representative Hale declared
at a meeting at the Mayf1ower
Hotel.
Let's not imagine that Senators
and Representatives are strategists
and that this kind of decision is
the subject for public debate" he
continued. "The essence of mill
tary action is uuickness and
secrecy. and you can get neither
through Congressional debates
Representative Hale recon-
mended a policy of keeping the
Soviets engaged, involved an6
anxious" in Asia as the "best
security of Europe" He expressed
the opinion, however, that "we
have not yet done 1.-THE of what
we could do and must do to
Illustrate Communism in Asia"
At the same time, the speaker
hailed the belated action of the
U. N. in designating Red China
an aggressor as "a diplomatic
victory" but called for economic
sanctions against Red China as
a further measure to weaken the
Mao regime. II realize that
economic sanctions may not be
easy to work out" he added
"but certainly an attempt should
be made"
On the home front, Representa-
tive Hale warned against optimis-
tic and defeatist extremes OF
thinking in regard to the Soviet
threat. Unless we can escape
both these attitudes we cannot
hope to do any sound thinking
about the problem" he declared

Decision on Troop Use Should Rest
With Military, Hale Tells League

The speaker expressed the opin-
ion that 'even now 1t may be said
that there was too much pessi-
mism" when the Chinese Commu-
nists made their entry into the
Korean war. Our troops, even
when outnumbered," he continued.
"can make the course of the Chin
ese Communists anything but
easy. There is evidence that the
cost of the enterprise already
far exceeds Soviet expectations"
The speaker expressed the con-
viction that very important sue
cesses" can be achieved through
guerilla activities on the mainland
of China. IF Chang Kai-shek's
armies can be permitted-not to
say encouraged-to fight on the
mainland of China, and given such
assistance as is necessary" he as
serted, II feel fairly certain that
they can create at least enough
OF a diversion to keep China in
turmoil for many years."
Representative Hale also ex-
pressed his belief that continued
resistance in Korea might well
save Yugoslavia"-as he referred
to predictions the next Soviet
move would be against that coun-
try.
How we may best assist Yugo-
slavia is a matter which I hope
is receiving the most careful study
by our military authorities" he
declared.
