Get a HIGH Choir

To Mrs. r, F. H., Arlington.
BY all means get your
daughter a high chair II you
are interested in having her
eat with the rest Of the
family at an early age. My
two children have used q
high chair and loved being
part Of the family mealtime
group since they were very
young. They always aSso-
ciated the high chair with
eating while some children
with the more versatile chair
table seem to have difficulty
knowing for which purpose
they have been put into the
chair--to play or to eat.
High chairs are wonderful.
With the tray removed our
high chair can be used at
the dining table until the
child is ready for a big chair.

A. everyone who has read OF

severe. They may include ex-

Geological disturbance of the
I .ctim can only be imagined.
Yet in many areas the Law
does not provide punishment for
this kind of thing beyond a 10
year prison sentence
Virginia Penalties Light
Virginia provides a good ex-
ample. There the law provides
penalties of from one to 10 years
for malicious mayhem--one to
five years. plus fines up to $500,
\ If the assault is classified as not
malicious. There is no Federal
law covering such crimes. but
District of Columbia statutes
also have maximum penalty OF
10 wears Imprisonment.
Virginia. however, is one OF the
States which promises to lead
the way in making the penalty
for acid-throwing commensurate
with the crime. It's special legis-
'lative advisory committee in
Richmond is already IN session
to consider needed changes, and
recommendations are expected
very soon.

Shirley d. am a l5-year-old
girl with a real problem. At my
high school 1t is the custom to
start going steady when you are
a sophomore. This is very good
system because it means that
every boy and girl who make Up
d couple can attend all the
dances and social functions and
do not need to worry about
finding dates. Once you have
a steady he's yours through
high school,
My parents are much much
against this. They think If you
start going steady with a boy,
YOU have to marry him or some
thing. That isn't true. OF course,
it often happens that these
couples do marry, but most OF
them split up by the time they
get out of school.
Just because I'm not allowed
to so steady I've been left out
Of lot of things. I've beer out
with one boy three times and
nov he says he's my steady, but
my parents don't want me to go
with him any more.
Mrs. X. D.-My husband and
I feel this steady" system is
very bad, In the first place, most
of the boys are too young for
the girls. don't mind Shirley's
going out with one of them occa-
sionally. but they aren't old
enough to be responsible and
would like to see her usually
going out with boys two or three
years older.
In the second place. we don't
think that this constant con-
tact with one person is very
healthy. ! know for a fact that
there have been cases in town
where the youngsters have got
ten into serious trouble. Besides,
a couple Of very bad marriages
have been made as a result of it
I know of too many early
marriages that have gone sour
70 want to see Shirley get her
self mixed up in anything like
that. 1t won't hurt her to be a
bit isolated for the next two
years. Then she'll go 10 college
and, l hope, meet many boys.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
A system that has the effect
Of virtually enslaving the boys
and girls who enter it is certa inly
q bad one. The going steady
system is far less rigid in some
areas and offers teen-agers the
advantages Shirley points out
without such stiff restriction. A
couple goes steady for several
months and then it is taken for
granted there is a shift.
Nevertheless. it seems cruel to
Isolate Shirley during her high
school years. II can't have a very
good effect on her and certainly
spolls her fun at present. Since
Mr. and Mrs. K. D. have so many
serious and reasonable objections
TO the system, they would do well
TO take the initiative and try to
encourage other parents to pro-
test as they do.
The negative position of OBJ
jecting to this system would not.
however, be nearly SO good as
the more positive one of present
ing the youngsters with an al
tentative. If groups of parents
can get their boys and girls TO
give informal parties to which
anyone can come with or with
out a date, the youngsters will
begin TO see that there is much
more fun in this easy circulation
There is no doubt that the
