The Fomily Council consists Of o

men, newspaper editor,
women's editor and Two writers.

THE PROBLEM
MARTIN FL am a fail
ure.
MR.. D. F.-He should join
the Navy.
THE DETAILS
Martin FL am 10 years
old and q complete failure. l
did not graduate with my
class last June. I failed four
subjects.
One Of the reasons I failed
was / had just broken UP with
my steady girl friend. I dis
covered she was going out on
the sly with one Of my best
friends. You can chalk that
up as a double failure.
Everyone seems to have
some ambition. but I have
none. BY family wants me
to join the Navy. That's be-
cause they think I'll never be
able to make out at school.
But I may be no better of
in the Navy. I'm not good at
sports or mechanical things.
! don't want to go back to
school and ] don't know what
kind Of work / can do. You
need q high school diploma

! was treated very Coldly by a
doctor In whom / had great
confidence at the time, and
this plunged me deeper into
emotional illness. (And so l
took 1t out on you'll Most
doctors are dedicated ones
though, and really want TO
help humanity.
The great need now is TO
help protect the nervous sys-
tenn. Yet consider how we are
bringing up our youngsters;
think Of the tensions they are
being subjected to when so
young western killings and
murder stories).
Please, DR.. Steincrohn,
stress that people should not
be made to Withstand strains
so early. These children grow
up to develop nervous weak
nesses in their twenties -
how can they enjoy life that
way? Where will they be at
so? In a mental hospital2
Urge mothers to turn of that
horrible television program
OR better have father do 1t.
Mrs. B. A.
All's forgiven. But I don't
recall ever having received
any "scathing" letters. Most
are kinder than l deserve.
Perhaps you were Just so
angry that II was more In
your mind than on paper.
l agree that televisiOn can
become q health problem. For
example, many people over
eat because Of It; others lose
much-needed sleep: the art
Of conversation Is being lost
because everybody shuts up
like . ventrilOquist's dummy
when the set Is turned on.
As for the effect on chill
-dren-there's the rub! Few.
win disagree that our youngs-
tiers have been brought up
in q make believe-land Of
killings, terror, cruelty. Many
parents say: TITS only tele-
vision; only make believe"
True. But comes the time
with many impressionable
children when they cannot
differentiate the real from
the unreal.
Emotional sickness? Tele-
vision may occasionally play
a part. But there are often
many other causes within the
four walls Of a home which
are more important.
For example, I would rather
have q child sucked on tele-
vision provided 1t lived with
kind, loving parents: than
have one without televisiOn

arm Jobs and I'm not very
strong.
Mr.. ID. Eve are seriously
worried about Marty. He
seems to have lost all his
morale. He takes no inter-
est in anything since his
failure to graduate.
Marty isn't a stupid boy.
He has found the going a
little rough at school, but his
teachers say his 10 is normal.
! know he tries and makes an
effort to study, but he doesn't
get very good results.
My wife and / feel Marty
would be best of in the Navy.
School work just isn't for
him. He doesn't seem ready
for a job yet, either.
We're afraid all of this is
having a bad effect on his
younger brothers and sisters.
They get very embarrassed
when their friends say things
about Martyrs not graduating.
It's not a good situation for
any Of us.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
The Navy might be a help
full solution to some Of Martyrs
problems--if he, himself
wanted it. If his parents
pressure him into 1t, and he
feels pesSimistic about the
idea, he is likely to be as
troublesome to himself and to
the Navy as he has been be-
fore in other areas.
The D. F.'s now seem to
want to unload Marty on the
Navy. He certainly senses this
and it adds to his burden of
guilt and self hatred. 1t makes
him think Of the Navy as a
place of exile, a form Of
punishment.
Marty badly needs to enjoy
some success at something.
