I ideal men and women? They want
you TO act you age and be your
self mot as II sounds), but they
want you to be neatly dressed,
have your hair kept neat and be-
coming to you
They like to see you keep
youthful by reading and keeping
up with all the current events.
They are proud Of you when you
have a grand sense Of humor and
II you can be cheerful when they
bring their young friends home.
They would like you to know
their friends before you criticise
them. They would like to have
you smile more often. They COM
pain that you are always tired"
and that you do not want to be
bothered" with their friends
when they bring them home, yet
you complain when they choose to
spend so much time in their
friends homes.
You want TO learn why that is
so? One young lady said, I'VE
love to go TO her house because
her mother is always so happy to
have us" That mother had learn
ed from experience that when her
children preferred to spend so
much time away from home II
was her fault. She talked to her
children and learned the gang
thought she did not like them or
their noise and she never had I
snack for them!
The youngsters want you to be
interested when they come to you
with their problems, however
trivial they may seem to you. If
they can't talk to you now, they
will talk to any one else who win
listen. You have shut them out,
and it win be very hard to win
their confidence later.
They want you to be broad and
not see all their little faults nor
close your eyes to their good |
points. BE fair and if one Of their |
friends is very courteous, tell her
so.
Above all, the young people like |
to raid" the refrigerator. Not |
often, but when the gang makes !
the rounds Of the other homes,
please make your child happy by |
doing the best you can when they !
come to your home. They will not |
criticise you If you just meet them |
halfway, but oh, you will surely |
come in for a roasting" If you |
don't. They do not mean to talk |
about you, but in the general con-
they win casually men |
ton your name as being unfair to |
the kids"
Keep the rights of others up
permOst in your mind. This is
the key 20 gracious living.

THE WEEK IN
RECORDS
BY Albert Anderson



Much controversy in the past
has been given to the rather dyn-
annie art Of jazz by any number Of
persons who have injected their
ideas, theories, sentiments and
PHILOSOPHERS on the subject. out Of
this maze OF talk, there is still no
set pattern Of describing jazz
since II is mainly an art Of impro-
yised music, set TO rhythm by the
feelings Of the particular artist.
In this vein, Riverside Records
has released a talkathon called
Coleman Hawkins, A Documen-
tary." The album IL free from
music and concerned only with ex-
cerpts Of speech about modern
jazz For the disciple Of modern
jazz, the LIP offers the opinions.
reflections and reviews Of Haw-
kins, a man who has been associa-
ted in music for many years,
boasting a career filled with ele-
ments that illumine music in gen
eral.
In this track, Coleman emits his
ideas Of jazz, It's birth, its direc-
ton OF travel and some Of It's uni
que offerings The well-versed
mind Of the veteran saxophone-
disciple gives forth a well-rounded
eulogy In jazz, pin-pointing many
issues currently under debate in
some music circles. Opinionated
and fun Of philosophy, the track
represents something definitely
