Boyd practically had his bags

to ring in Boyd's ears late that

1t was then that his mind
turned back to last years race. He
vividly remembered the fans
cheering him on to the Glass B
championship and how he lost the
city crown by only half a length
/ That settled it. Florida, he de-

Much to Boyd's surprise, the
racer was still at Hicks, in the
warehouse behind the agency at

it delivered to the school wood
shop. But a close inspection
showed the racer had a heavy
coat Of rust and body too warped
for use.

time after school working slowly
and carefully on a new racer he

says.

He considers himself lucky to
have had the Glass B champion
ship last year and advises others
against waiting until the last min
ute to build a coaster. Boy, I
was plenty nervous driving down
the track in that racer of mine.
I never knew when it might fall
apart" he said.
Boyd, who lives with his mother,

Ithusiasm over the prospects of
his 1851 racer, he's making 1t

Give Your Teenoge Daughter
The Independence She Deserves
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

Mrs. A. wants to keep the con-
fidence Of her 16-year-old daugh-
ter. st feel she is drifting away
from me rapidly" she writes. "She
does not confide in me any more,
hesitates to discuss her problems
with me. but seems rather to be
guided by the Judgment OF her
friends, who are just as immature
and inexperienced as she. How
can I build up a better relation
ship with her. DR.. Popenoe?"
I don't think, you are doing too
badly, Mrs. A. Your daughter
ought to be breaking away from
home, learning to stand on her
own feet. and making her own
decisions. Otherwise she may
never grow up. But I passed your
question along to Jean, who came
into the Office to get some ma
terial for a high school essay.
Read this letter and tell me the
answer" I asked. "You are about
the age of Mrs. AS daughter"
Jean read the letter carefully,
with an occasional frown. and
then replied. Mrs. A. is trying to
make a child out of her daughter
when she ought to be making a
friend, instead"
How"
by not scolding her or con-
tinually pointing out her mistakes.
Every year now. the daughter
should be given more and more
independence. Mother should ask
her opinion now and then, instead
Of always volunteering her own.
She should allow her to choose
her own clothes-even If she
makes a few mistakes. That's the
way a girl learns. She should be
encouraged to take part in house
hold duties as an equal, not as an
inferior or a servant"
IF a girl learns home-making
in that way she'll certainly be
more prepared for marriage" I
agreed. What about special in
formation that she needs?"
Both parents ought to be open
minded in the matter of sexual
knowledge" Jean replied. IF they
can't discuss the topic freely and
without embarrassment, they
ought to start in by educating
themselves"
You think mothers can break
down the barriers between them
selves and their teen-age daugh-
tiers in such ways?"
I'm sure Of it and If they do.
they'll be able to command the

A study of the close working
relationship between the courts
and social welfare agencies in this
country is one of the prime in
terests of a japanese woman jurist
now visiting in Washington.
She is Judge Aiko Noda who,
at 81, is one of only three women
judges in her country.
I'm Japan" she explained,
"there are no schools for social
workers. They must learn from
those more experienced in the field
or go to your country for profess
sional training. There are nc
social workers, attached to the
domestic relations courts, though
the juvenile courts have probation
officers. Consequently. those of US
in the legal profession, particular
ly in the field of domestic rela-
tons in which I am interested,
feel handicapped by not having
enough knowledge to handle the
cases that come up before u.s."
The visiting jurist plans to dc
something about 1t when she gets
home.
Judge Noda arrived here last
week with six other judges from
Tokyo on a mission sponsored by
the Department of Defense as part
of its program for reorientation
of japanese leaders.
