For instance. 16 per cent of

1t is interesting to note that
only II per cent of the un-

the choice of words was altered

munity from job criticism at
home. Their independence was
curbed somewhat by parental
estimates of their success.
Six out of every 10 boys and
more than one out of every two
girls said their parents did not
consider them successful in
their jobs and were disap-
pointed with them.
This disappointment is sur
prising in the light of another
survey question that showed
less than As per cent of the
parents expected their children
to do as well or better in life
as they have done. If they
didn't expect too much. why
we're they disappointed?
But despite the curfews. job

StreakS of sternness and inter-
ference prevailing at home, SO
per cent of the young men and
sc per cent of the young women
enjoyed doing things with their
families, took delight in the
comradeship of Nom and Dad.
Did they feel close to their
families?
That was another matter en-
tirely, one that hit closer to
home than mere enjoyment of
f2mily activities. The answer,
which should give many parents
reason for heavy thought. is
that SO per cent of the boys and
So per cent of the girls do not
feel close to their families.
They may be living at home,
but already they are beginning
to lead their own lives. They
want love but they also want
life. and the latter is apt to
win in a family tug -of-war.

Pretty Girl Unfair to Boy

is not in my class socially.
What should l do?
SHERRY.
Dear Sherry:
You are being unfair to this
boy. II he is not in your class
socially" and you are ashamed
to be seen with him, you
shouldn't accept his invita-
tons for dates and let him
spend his money on you.
1 may be wrong but it ap-
pears to me that you are still
shy and self and that
Is one reason why you are
going with this boy. You feel
socially superior to him so you
are at ease when you are with
him. 1t is my guess that the
boys who are in your class
socially" still make you feel
uncomfortable. Therefore. you
are willing to settle for second
best rather than to try to learn
how to get along with the
kind Of people you really want
to know.
My advice is to play fair and
stop dating the boy for his
sake-and your own. Since you
are ashamed to be seen with
him your relationship will
probably not last very long.
Then you will have the same
old problem facing you and. in
the meantime, there may be
other girls who would not be
ashamed of him. So. give him
a chance to find them and give
yourself a chance to learn to
get along with people whom
you do consider your social
equals.

In the suit. Virginia seeks to
have the court set aside legis-

last spring which voided terms

In the agreement, Virginia
gave Maryland free access to

exchange for free fishing
privileges on the Maryland
owned Potomac.

Federal Constitution. Federal
laws superseded half of the
compact and opened the Chesa-

contract remained unaffected.
Last April Maryland passed
laws which REQUIRE virginians
to obtain Maryland licenses to
fish in the Maryland-controlled
Potomac. Maryland Law also
prohibits oyster dredging
