would be more appropriate for
the father to set UP a fund for
the education Of the grandchil-
dren.
There is certainly nothing
wrong with the father helping
the boy in the manner he asks,
Eif he wishes to, but there is no
good reason why he should be
compelled to do so against his
own wishes.
If the son and his wife have
the courage of their convictions,
they should be willing to make
some sacrifice for the teaching
career, and they should not be
bitter about it. Neither should
the father be bitter, but he is
mot obligated to buy his boy a
home.
Because the boy has raised
this issue, there is good ground
for suspecting that it is not love
iof teaching that motivates him
as much as dread Of respon-
lsibility. We sympathize with the
mothers viewpoint. 1t is q pity
to deny the boy advantages that
the father can well afford. But
| it is wrong for the son to make
this proposition and put his
father on the spot.

T he FAMILY
COUNCIL
THE PROBLEM

RI. Why son demands regular subsidy.
MRS r. L. Vile deserves it and we can afford it.
Evening star., 1956-03-05

r. L. WI am a well-to-dc
business man, own a considerable
amount of property and securi-
ties, and have two sons. The Older
boy is married and his wife
lis about to have a baby. He
turned down my offer to take
him into the business because he
preferred to be a school teacher
and his wife agreed with him.
Now they have made me the
darndest type of proposition
They want me to finance home
for them that they cannot pos
sibly afford. They argue that
probably intend to leave them
something and that it would be
wrong for me to make then
suffer hardship most of theil
lives and then give them a big
windfall at some future day after
their lives will have been mar.
rowed and cramped by difficult
living.
I think this is outrage, but my
wife thinks they are being
sensible and that I ought to &c
along with them. Why should
have to surrender and subsidize
my son in his refusal to entel
the business upon which he still
wants to feed?
+; Mrs. r. L. WI do not fee
that our son means to be dis.
loyal to his father or that hi
means to be a parasite. All his
life he has grown up in the ex-
pectation that his father coul6
and would help him financially
His becoming a teacher is like
another boy in a well-to-do fam
lily getting an expensive gift, like
his own boat. Our boy is happy
teaching, and he is overawed by
his fathers business.
He is being quite modest in
his request. He merely wants us
to help him now to acquire the
home that he will be able to af-
ford out of his own earnings
when he has risen to his top sal
airy. In my husbands circum-
stances, the amount Of help
would be a pittance, but it would
enable my son to raise our
grandchildren in a decent style,
instead of subjecting them to
poverty. 1 feel that it is not right
to raise a son in luxury and then
abandon him to poverty just be-
cause he cannot bring himself
to go into business.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
The attitudes in this situation
all seem too sweeping. Mrs. r. l..
w. has quite a point when she
argues that she wants advan-
tages for the grandchildren. 1t

many elderly patients who were
emotionally distur b e d. They
thought they were unloved and
unwanted. They were sure they
were a burden to their children.
Sometimes they were resentful;
at other times, lonely. 1t almost
seemed as if they, by not eating,
were taking an unobtrVsive way
out" They said they were tired
of living and this seemed to be
their way of ending it all.
Starts q Circle
In turn, this vitamin def
cheney itself produced a vicious
circle. The less they ate. the
more detected and unhappy they
became. 1t seems reasonable,
therefore, to be aware-espe-
lcially in the elderly-of the
Importance of proper vitamin in
take. If you can't supply it by
food entirely, then better have
your doctor suggest the proper
vitamins. He will detect any de-
ficiencies better than you can.
Vitamin treatment should not
be "hunch treatment" It should
be based on clinical findings.
1t is remarkable how well vita
min therapy works when used
for specific needs. For example,
I recall many people over SIS
who complained of disinterest,
fatigue, irritability, tenderness
in the calf muscles, forgetfulnesS
and general physical letdown.
Examination was essentially neg
ative. Vitamin B1 deficiency was
suspected. After a few weeks on
thiamine. their symptoms dis
appeared.
In a similar way Riboflavin
has often helped patients with
sore tongue and inability to with
stand bright light. Niacin has
aided loss of memory, depression,
irritability and sore, red tongue.
Pyridoxine (B6) has helped
chronic dermahtis, sore tongue,
nausea, vomiting and vertigo.
Vitamin BIZ is of course known
to most of you as a specific in
the treatment of pernicious
anemia.
| Folio acid is used in the treat
ment OF certain anemiaS and in
the control Of diarrhea. Ascorbic
acid helps fight against infec-
tions by increasing body resist
ance. Many people who bruise
easily, have bleeding gums and
loose teeth, are deficient in this
important vitamin. You know OF
Vitamin AS Importance in over
coming night-blindness. And OF
the necessity of sufficient Vita
min D for bone growth.
I have only given you the high
spots. 1t is true that in some
persons the vitamin intake Is
unnecessarily high, much more
than they actually need. But il
is also a fact that thousands
are not getting vitamins in suf
f1cient quantities. Let your doc
tor be the one to decide.

necessary. V1tamlnS are essen
tial to good health"
But they must be taken for
specific reasons, otherwise you
may be spending money need
lessly. Too many Of us, when we
are feeling "below par" take it
upon ourselves to take. vitamins
without rhyme or reason. We
become SPECTATORS. We hope the
money we spend on the pills and
Ipotions will bring large dividends
i in health. Often we win. Some
times we lose.
When vitaminS are unneces-
Sary to our well-being all we are
doing is putting good money in
a large kitty" to no avail. 1t
would undoubtedly be more prac-
tical and humanitarian to drop
these contributions in a box for
the heart or cancer funds. The
answer is apparent. Let your
doctor decide if you have a vita
min deficiency. If he says there
lis, then you can go marketing
for your vitamin supply without
feeling that 1t is a racket" as

that is often overlooked is that
of our senior citizens. Often they
suffer vitamin lack.
Symptoms Masked
The symptoms are masked;
we need to be on the alert to
make the diagnosis. Vitamin
deficiency in the elderly, as in
the rest of the population, is
due to inadequate intake OF
sufficient and proper foods
Quite often this is caused by
physical, social and economic
changes which confront the
laying individual" as stated by
T. E. Machella. MD, Associate
Professor of Medicine at the
University of Pennsylvania.
In his experience he has found
that poorly fitting dentures or
insufficient teeth result in the
elderly patient avoiding foods
that are difficult to masticate.
For example, meat, which is an
important source of the Boom
lplex vitamins. Limited economic
status is another important fac
tor in causing vitamin def
ciencies in the aged. They can't
buy a variety of foods such as
meats and citrus fruits and
vegetables. They often take the
easy way out and exist on canned
food alone.
Another cause of vitamin de-
Ificiency in the aged is that they
may have cerebral changes
which make them childish in
their stubbornness to resist
nourishment. 1t then becomes
the duty of the younger men,
bers Of the family to spoon
feed" them if they expect them
Ito be healthy.
