A good bit of intellectual nom
sense about an adult child's
responsibility to a retired par
ent is being peddled around.
The giSt of it is that a child
shouldn't have any.
And it seems to be coming
from well-educated experts who
base their opinions on statis-
tics. and from people who want
the problems of growing old to
become a public affair handled
by public agencies or the United
States Government.
Let's have a look:
Retired parents in huge num-
bers need things their adult
children could supply-but
probably no more than a fourth
of them are asking their chill
dren to supply them. Some need
money. Some need a position of
some Importance in the society
of our times. Almost all of
them need companionship.
There is no question about
the needs. Seven to eight thou

always looked after his own.
There are pensions and Social
Security, but the needs are too
personal for even a Welfare
State to fill.
Adult children can fill them.
And it is difficult to see why
they think they shouldn't.
People now retired. like most
parents, had their children by
design or accident. and had
them for their own personal
joy. There's no arguing this.
Possibly to age 6 or so it was
still a matter of personal joy,
plus responsibility.
But from then on the pattern
changed. Almost every decision
the parents made was made
with an eye on what would help
the children attain a good life
where they lived, in order to
get good schools; what they ate,
in order to develop good bodies;
what youthful friends they
encouraged and discouraged.
what rules they made, what
home duties they imposed-in
order to give the children the
environment and the self
reliance that would help them
get a good life.
Love and happiness of the
parents were all mixed UP with

Surgery for Voricose Veins

The decision on whether or
not to operate often depends
upon the results of a test we
call the Trendelenburg test.
Ask a good surgeon to perform
this test. If he recommends
operation, l would abide by his
decision.
Dear DIR. SteincrOhn: / am
having trouble with thinning
hair. Many people tell me it
is due to vitamin deficiency.
Some say heredity is the
cause. Could you please tell
me why il is thinning out?
The hair itself is very poor
and will not take a perma-
nent. At times ii is very oily
and has to be washed every
three or four days. Then il
gets lifeless and l get dan
druff. i am taking vitamin
shots once a month for the
past year. Would they have
anything to do with my hair?
Mrs. p. p.
l believe that the "once-a-
month" vitamin injections are
having no effect zone way or
another on your hair. Every
thing has been used from am
monium to vitamins-not for
getting the treatments which
begin with remaining letters of

Your hair is oily, which APP

nancy is sometimes a cause of
thinning and falling hair. He

are necessary. If he finds Moth

If the dermatologist finds he

FAMOUS FABLES

BACKGROUND: At the age

Crowninshield decided to make
his mark in the publishing field
in New York. Young Crown
inshield, descendant of a dis
tinguished New England FAM
lily, came from Boston with inn
pressive letters of introduction,
which he presented to the edi-
tor of publishing firm.
The letters left no doubt
that the youthful job applicant
was of aristocrat1c lineage. The
editor waded through this ped
igree. then listened as Crownin-
shield supplied additional in

terrupted, Il am sure you
would be invaluable for breed

CONDUCTOR: The late Ar
turo Toscanini memorized
every score he conducted. He
could not understand how a
conductor could do otherwise.
One night in New York. he
attended a concert where a
promising young conductor
was m taking his debut.
Throughout the performance.
the latter kept consulting the
score.
When it was over, a friend
asked the maestro what he
thought of the newcomer.

piled Toscanini. "IIe still has
his head in the score instead Of

identity, is as rural as rural
can be. Its population is but
10000. and there are but 5000
in its chief town; farming,
fishing and vacationers are its
chief businesses.
Facilities Lacking
The procedure of the Stirling
project was generally like that
of the Manhattan survey. How
ever. there had never been a
psychiatrist in Stirling Coun-
ty; the nearest one had been q
man in a town IS miles away
who had retired some years be-
fore. So DR.. Leighton's group
had to create psychiatric ia
cilities as well as survey the
people in the county. The Stir
ling project, consequently, took
longer.
There were differences in the
actual questions asked and in
the method of tabulating the
information OBJ tain e d. But
when proper allowance was
made for these differences, two
points were clear:
The proportion of symptom
free people in city and country
was almost exactly the same
just under Is per cent.
So was the proportion of
people needing treatment-25
per cent.
In short, there was no diff
ference between city and coun-
try in the prevalence of mental
illness.
Over the next several years,
the two studies are to be ex-
tended. with the aid of a grant
from the Ford Foundation,
both to confirm the findings to
date and make them more
easily comparable. and to find
out what social factors, if any,
might have part in mental ill
ness. AS a matter of fact. the
two studies already point to one
family and other forms of
social disorganization.
I'VE haven't been able to find
any circumstances connected
with city or country cas- such
that seem significant in con-
nection with mental illness"
says DR.. Leighton. who has
been in charge of both studies |
since DR.. Rennie's death. THE /
one common d nomi tor
among the mentally i'll we have
studied seems to be inability to
make a family life or find a
place in society, and the dis
that often attends
such difficulties.
But, of course. we don't !

A few years ago, two very
carefully set up, independent
studies set out to answer,
among others. this question:
What proportion of people
are mentally i'll?
There had been numerous
counts of patients in mental

hospitals or receiving treat
ment in psychiatric clinics and
in the private Offices of psy-
chiatristS and other psyche
therapiSts. But not all persons
with symptoms of mental ill
ness were or are - receiving
treatment. 1t is important to
know how many people need
treatment, as an aid to plan
ming new mental-health facil-
tiles. if for no other purpose.
The two studies produced a
good deal of information on
the prevalence of mental dis
order Just as there are very
few people in perfect physical
health, so comparatively few
persons were found free of any
sign of any kind of mental dis
treSS whatever-no more than
Is in every 100. And about Is
in every 100 adults surveyed
appeared to be sufficiently upset
so they might benefit from
treatment.
Unanticipated Results
The two studies also had re-
suits that were not anticipated
results that cast new light on
the origins of mental illness.
In recent years, it has been
fashionable to blame mental
illness on the fast peace" ara
nervous tensions of modern
life. and to paint big cities as
simultaneously citadels of ner-
vous tension and mental illness.

late DR.. Thomas A. c. Rennie.
DR.. Rennie and his colleagues

and psychiatrists' records were
checked to track down all resi-

psychiatric treatment. Then

The Little World on q Liohtship

The sun pulled the High
land hills up over its chest and
went to sleep. To the east, the
Atlantic = Ocean lay in seer
sucker blue flecked with old
rose. Seven and a half miles
east of New Jersey, and seven
and a quarter miles south of
Long Island, sat a red cockle-
shell called Ambrose. There, a
dozen lonely men live.
In the moment before dark
ness, the men made the ship
ready for the night. On the
bridge, Boatswain Eric G.. Bragg,
a big busted nose who looks
like Ward Bond. turned the
rheostat handle and Ambrose
Lightship began to throw a
revolving white beam around
the dusky horizon. Bragg is
in command of the ship that
never sails. He looked at the
steering wheel, covered with
canvas. He rubbed his chin and
went below to test the anchor
chain.
The LightShip swings on 900
feet of inch-and-a-ha cable.
Her round red hull tugs on this
chain at the whim of the tide
and the wind. In hurricane
Diane, the green seas broke
across her deck all night long
and the singing spume plat
tered against the light, 10 feet
above the plimsoll line. She
drifted and they had to use
three engines to hold her
steady.
Beginning and End
The ship is only 1913 feet long.
She is the official beginning of
every voyage out of New York,
and the end of every voyage in
bound. The big gay cruise ships
pause here to drop the pilot,
or to pick one up. So do the

tankers coming out of Perth

one ever pauseS to wave hello
to the dozen lonely men.
The radio man was in his
