Problems Today
By MurieI Nissen

A few weeks ago. two stories
appeared side by side on the
front pages of many newspapers
across the country. One told of
the conviction of manslaughter
against a man who had allegedly
caused the death of his child by
forcing her to perform dangerous
physical feats; the other was
about a man accused of de-
frauding parents by promising
lucrative modelling jobs to their
children. Both these stories.
though dealing with entirely
different charges, had a common
angle-the exploitation of chill
dren.
When stories like these appear
in the newspapers, they are read
by parents all over the land and
quite naturally they wonder how
any father or mother could be
guilty of such practices.
Yet many parents do exploit
their youngsters, either for A.
nancial gain or because they
take pride in showing off their
children. little realizing the harm
they may be doing them. Though
their actions aren't criminal the
consequences may be disastrous
to the children.

Children are entitled to their
childhood; they shouldn't be
robbed of it to further parental
pride.
While in a very few cases chill
dren are exploited for financial
gain expected by their parents,
these instances are exceptional
and usually reach the attention
of the proper authorities. Some
youngsters are forced for the
qualification of personal pride,
or. more often. to satisfy a frus-
tration of their parents youth.
People who have been denied a
college education, for instance,
often insist with autocratic in
tensity that their children go on
to higher education.
The theory of course is, Since

college, you're going to have
them whether you want to or
not +" This pernicious reasoning
is responsible for many insists
in schools of higher learning.
Eventually, these reluctant stu
dents are forced to leave school
anyway. causing them and their
parents humiliation that could
easily have been avoided. The
same rule applies to the lad
vantages" so many families foist
on their young. Mamma never
could take piano lessons. so her
offspring must satisfy the
mothers musical bent by proxy.
That the youngsters have little
or no aptitude for music doesn't
matter; they must have the ad-

Youngsters natural abilities

these must be ascertained by

made tests for this purpose,
which are so readily available
that no parent has an excuse
either to ignore the possibilities
of mis- offspring. or to magnify
them.
If you think you have a tall
ented child, do make sure that
he is truly gifted before making
plans for his future. especially
if these plans involve work. or
perhaps stress beyond the
young ones capacity.

Aphids - or plant lice - often
infest flowers and shrubs at this
time of the year. Serious damage t,
both ANIMALS and perennials may
be wrought by these small, soft
bodied insects if they are not con-
trolled, warns J. N. Roney, ex-
tension entomologist for the Uni
verSity of Arizona.
The insects are of various colors
and have a sucking mouth resembl-
ing a hair-like beak. When the in
sects become crowded a certain
number of them develop wings and
fly to anothed leaf or plant to
start a new colony. The sucking
mouth is used to suck juices from
leaves and stems of the plant.
A spray of one and one-half tea
spoonfuls of black-leaf-40 and one
and one-half teaspoonfuls of
household ammonia in one gallon
of water will control the insects
The new insecticide, malathion,
may be used, too. Use the liquid
at the rate of 2 to 3 teaspoonfuls
per gallon of water. This material
gives very good results and is very
easy to mix. Be certain to appy
the insecticide so that the material
will come in contact with the in
