THIS N THAT
by hazel
underwood

Some time ago l talked with a
young wife and mother who SEEM
cd TO think her mother had failed
in teaching her to stand on her
own feet.
Now she feels her mother Is
doing all she can to spoil her
grandchildren in the same way.
and the young wife and mother is
as determined her children are TO
be taught to learn to help them
selves. She also plans to teach
them TO do a little work around
the house so they win take more
interest in their home.
The young wife and mother
loves her parents and she really
appreciates their tender care and
love, but she feels she should have
been taught TO be part Of the
home.
For instance she told me. I'VE
didn't know what II was TO be
taught to hang up our clothes
when we took them off. II never
occurred TO us to offer to help
with the dishes, take out the gar
bage or clean up our own rooms,
II we wanted some money or
wanted to 20 some place we knew
n we begged long enough we al
ways won out,
I'VE used to jump all over the
furniture. climb on the chairs
and tables and rs long rs we
didn't get hurt we were not
stopped because my mother said
we were young Just once and her
children were going 10 live a

Now | am married and have
children Of my own. I was very
fortunate to marry a man who was
reared az wish I had been. He
loves me enough to try to teach
me what my mother should have
taught me, am a good pupil be-
cause I want our children to be
reared as he was.
| With my children, my husband
is teaching us we can't have every.

Top Ten Rhythm and Blues
Artists Of 1856

1. Fats Domino-Best Male Vo-
calist. Fats received some strong
competition from guys like Clyde
McPhatter and 3. b. King, but
the New Orleans-born Domino's
sensational "Blueberry Hill" and
I'm In Love Again" helped to
push him far ahead in voting.
2. La Vern Baker-Best Female
Vocalist. Laverne's big one like IT
Can't Love You Enough" "s''H",
and IRA La La" placed her in a
class all by herself. No female vo-
calist even came clo' to her in
voting.
8. Bill Doggett-Best Instru-
mental Group "Honky Tonk"
made this group top them all.
4. The Platters Best Vocal
Group. With consistent hits like
Great Pretender" Magic
iOutHf MY Nidy0Is II 1911 I
Right" and ION My Word of Hon
or" this group was a natural
choice in best vocal group class.
5. Solomon Burke-Most Prom
ising Male Vocalist. A 17-year-old
newcomer, Burke was a big hit
because of his walking In A
Dream" and mo Man Walks
Alone"
8. Dinah Washington Most
Promising Female Vocalist An
odd category for veteran blues
singer Dinah, but voters seem to
indicate that her new choice Of
tunes and her new reduced look"
win make her the vocalist to
watch in ST.
7, Sill Austin-Most promising

THE LOWDOWN"
By MAsco Young

New York amp - Several
weeks ago flour columns ago to be
exactJ we announced our poll to
select the Top 10 Rhythm and
Blues Artists Of 1866" and we in
uted The Lowdown's readers to be
the sole Judge and jury in the
naming Of winners in each Of the
ten categories. But before we get
into he actual results Of our first
r G. B polls, we'd like to pass on
10 you what we considered one OF
the most interesting letters we re-
ceived in connection with the Top
10 Rhythm and Blues Artists Of
1856 poll. This letter Is from Miss
Lucille Fraurk Of Tampa, Florida,
rabid rhythm and blues fan who
reads the Lowdown each week in
the Florida Sentinel
Said Miss Fraurk: Il am a r g.
3 fan. / enjoy them very much. ]
dig b b. King for breakfast, w.
DRY Joe Hunter for lunch and
Count Basic for dinner. 1 dig them
all the most
After listing her nominations
for top honors, Miss Fraurk then
closed her letter by saying: "Ex-
cuse this bad writing. / didn't
write II, my right hand did. SO
later CATER; after supper huckle-
bucker. Dig?"
How about that

a pie or cake in the oven too
"she wants daddy and Monte to
taste her cooking too. That part
is not done gracefully since we
saw her pick II up from the floor,
give II a pat and put in in the pan.
(She did not know / saw her, and
having no more dough to give her,
I had to overlook it,
I'VE are teaching our son a re-
spectful way of speaking to
grownups. We demand that he be
courteous to grownups, and as
soon as our daughter is a little
older, she will be taught how to
wash and dry dishes, properly.
Now she will ask for a tea
towel and after she has dried
few dishes, she will say goodbye
and be gone. But each month,
her stay with the dishes is longer,
II don't want to push her, but
with a little encouragement from
me and making 1t seem like fun,
my child knows more about little
chores around the house than I did
when l was married!
MY mother thought she was
giving me a good life. She said
she had to keep her children babies
as long as she could because they
grew up so fast. That is not fair
to the child because when he is
old enough to get out on his own
he is helpless with the crowd. He
is not able to add anything to II.
He has been taught the world was
made for him and him alone. His
friends give him rude awaken

he may not thank you now, years

Life Story of Lody Montogu
Leaves More to Be Told

Italians. We learn for the first
time, in Robert Husbands
book. that her hitherto mys-
FERROUS 20-year-long sojourn in
Italy was to seek permanent
companionship with an un-
scrupulous. homosexual Italian
who preferred the Prince Of
Prussia. She finally came home
the mother-in-law of a Prime
Minister and a source of much
nervousness to her respectable
daughter.
Mr. Halsband anticipates
there will be criticism that he
has not sufficiently interpre-
tated Lady Mary's personality
and character. From this re-
viewer there is. Lady Mary
does not lend herself we'll to
this formal, full-length type of
treatment. in which her daily
life is documented and such
