My husband does not under
stand that a girl can grow up
fast. Our daughter has been a
little babyish till recently, but
she is now quite mature for her
age and is becoming a woman
under our very eyes. She GER
tainly does not seem out Of
place when in the company Of
the 23-year-old boy, but I think
it is much healthier that she

for marriage in the near future,

Jim is surely justified in being
concerned, but the mother also

What about the young man?
Is he looking for an easy con-

Or is he, like the girl, retreating
from his age group. preferrine

Jim Our daughter, Is. has
met a young man who is seven
years older, and has suddenly
decided to drop all her boy
friends because they are mere
"babies." I would like to put a
stop to this attitude. but my wife
seems to agree with her.
Our daughter is the youngest
child in our family and has
always been quite a bit spoiled
and babyish herself, but she has
become very impatient with the
girls and boys of her own age
group. It seems to me she is
running away from competition
and seeking shelter with older
people who may find her cute
and patronize her.
I am disturbed about thc
latest turn, because ] cannot
imagine a young man Of %
finding her interesting, unless he
feels she is naive enough to be
easily misled. / know that when
I was % I would not so much as
have looked at a girl that young.
I cannot seem to convince my
wife that 1t is dangerous for
our daughter to seek the COM
pany Of much older young men.
Belle-I think ! am being real
istic. Our daughter is the kind
Of girl who will want to be mar
ried by the time she is Is, and
she certainly cannot hope to
make a good marriage among
the boys Of her own age group,
who face the prospect Of mill
tary service and may not be able
to earn q living for years to
come.

and a boy Of % can be quite
Wholesome and enduring, given
the right combination Of quail
tiles.
Father and mother should stop
generalizing broadly and get
down to cases. Facts should be
brought out in conversation.
Both parents should abandon
fixed attitudes and seek enlight-
eminent. If this boy persists in
dating the girl, it will become
necessary to draw him out and
to determine whether the rela-
tionship is q good one.
We strongly advise against
telling the girl that she is too
young to go out with q 23-year-
old. That would be a challenge
calculated to antagonize her and
move her to persist. because she
would want to prove that she
can manage older boys.
If the relationship seems UNI
desirable. it should be attacked
on specific, supportable grounds,
but the age issue should not be
the basis.

one of interference, but would
merely be a ban against undem-
ocratic, or Illegal union elections.
The government has no more
right to set up standards for a
union election, in detail, than it
has to set up standards for a
corporation board election.
However, the government regu-
lates business very strictly, and
there is justification for regula-
lions which would prevent Com
muniStS, crooks and other unScru-
pulouS persons from using unions
as 2 blind, and a vehicle for their
operations.
The question is how unions
can be cleaned up. Certainly, the
answer is not to give to business
greater authority in dealing with
unions. Nor is the answer for
the government to interfere in the
rights of free men to organize.
Rather, the answer lies in the
passage of a law which would
require free, democratic elections
in unions, and periodic financial
.accountings. 1t seems that it will
be difficult to get a Congress to
pass such a law, since labor is
becoming a more powerful force
in the country each year, and
many labor bosses would probably
oppose such legislation.
Therefore, it becomes obvious
that the solution lies in support
of such a law by union leaders
who first of all are patriotic
Americans, and secondly, good
members.

CAN UNIONS BE

The growing strength OF or
gained labor in this country
makes if almost mandatory that
labor unions be regulated, and
cleaned up, in some instances.
Labor unions have become big
businesses, and memberships
should be given certain democrat
ic guarantees.
For example, unions should be
required to give regular financial
accounting, in detail, which would
be made available 30 union mem
bers. In addition. union election
should be thoroughly democratic,
and should be regulated by law
to insure a democratic process in
the naming OF union officials.
