Dear Mrs. Kicker:

Dear Mrs. Kicker:
am Is years old Why is il
that my parents. all of a sudden,
are so critical of me? They criti-
CHE my friends, how they dress
and act and how 1 dress and act.
Also what 1 watch on TY and
what I listen to on the radio. IL
seems that everything I do is
open to criticism. There is SO
much printed about juvenile de-
linquents that they think all teen
ayers are deIinquents.
At church even our minister is
always talking about the bad kids.
This constant criticism hurts and
puzzles me-
PUZZLED TEEN-AGER.
Dear Teen-ager
When youngsters reach their
teens they gradually begin a new
life They have more contacts and
activities outside the home and as
a result, acquire new ideas and
opinions. Previous to this time
they usually have accepted their
dAA0 Off-AAsAs1AN " AiAltAb
question. So when a tecn-ager
suddenly announces that he dis
agrees with his parents about some
thing it often comes as shock to
Nom and Dad
Most parents are willing to listen
and try to understand the teen
ayers point of view But some par
ents refuse to admit that young
ster can be right about anything
and that is when serious parent
teen conflicts and criticisms usually
begin According to your descriD-
ton of your family it seems they
are overly critical. But are you
sure you are doing your part? Are
you reaSonable2 Do you choose
the right kind of friends? Do you
use good taste in choosing your
cIOthes2 Is your behavior all it
should be?
You see. sometimes it is easy to
get in a rut and We fail to see our
own faults So. my advice is to
think about YOUR conflict with Nom
and Dad. Be fair and try to de-
eide if 1t Is really all their fault.
Naturally. no parent can be eX-
pected 10 allow a teen-ager to do
anything and everything he wants
to do. But. if both sides are reason
able and willing to cooperate. most
parent-teen differences can be
ironed out and a workable cOmpro-
mise reached which is acceptable
to all.

Dear Cindy:
1t is a mistake to lend personal
Items such as combs. lipStick and
powder puffs. During the teen
years when so many youngsters
have skin trouble anyway. girls
should be especially fussy about
everything to do with their make

be kept scrupulously clean and
should not be shared with others
II you tell your girl friend that

make sacrifices for all Missions,
and those who help educate SEM
inarians in the Missions, as Bish-
OPP Sheen mentions today in his
column.
Because vocations are increas-
ing much help must be given to
educate them. Therefore he asks
the Church not to spend on Vanity
but to give to Charity, quoting
his own phrase from a discourse
given during the Holy Year, 1850:
'If charity triumphs, the face OF
the earth will be renewed"
After speaking for prayer and
sacrifice His Holiness pleads for
vocations. He clearly asks Bishops
who have good numbers of priests
to send some to the Missions and
he asks them to coordinate this
at their meetings. He asks them
also to take added interest in
vocations to strictly missionary in
stitutes and in foreign students
studying in their dioceSes.

encyclical "Fidei Donum'' on the
Missions of Africa, promises to
be a charter for action for a long
time.
His Holiness draws our atten-
ton to the problems by saying
that "the missionary spirit is the
first response of our gratitude
towards God MCWC translation,
and that the vast and varied needs
Of the Mission world urge a new
increase in missionary activities.
His Holiness then says Africa
in particular suffers from a wor-
sening proportion of priests to
laity because conversions are SO
numer0us), from dangers during
present rapid evolution of social,
economic and political situations
from the influence of Atheistic
Materialism and attraction of a
technical civilization.
The latter two titles seem to
refer to Communism for the Pope
tells the missionaries to instruct
Africans in Christian Social Or
der.
The Holy Father then directs
the order in which the Missions
in Africa are to expend their eff
forts: above all, to develop Cath
clio Action, the laity's sharing
in the apostolate of the hierarchy;
develop Christian Education with
schools at every level; develop
organizations for social action,
and finally, expand the Catholic
Press.
Then His Holiness calls on the
whole Church to aid in this COM
mon concern. He asks Bishops all
over the world to %spearhead the
solution. He asks above all for
prayers and especially that more
Holy Masses be offered for con-
versions, and public prayers at
Advent, Epiphany and Pentecost.

ton of the Faith whose members

over a hundred converts dur
