How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Behavior Problems of Children
By DR.. PETER J sTElNcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: /
am coming 10 you with q
problem l can't seem 10 solve.
II concerns my little boy
who Is 10 years old. From
the time he could crawl he
was disobedient, and would
not listen. When he was that
age I thought he was too
young 10 understand. He
seemed 50 determined TO do
what y0u told him not TO
do; and determined not 70
do what you told him TO do.
In other words he was stub
born and contrary.
"As time went ON this dis
obedience became steadily
worse. I've tried all ways Of
furnishing him. but none Of
them helps, and he's always
in trouble because Of his
failure 70 listen. Then, too,
he seems 20 have q deep
hatred for people. He's al
ways talking about doing
harm 10 someone. Never
thinks Of doing anyone any
good.
HE has no friends. No one
10 play with and has to stay
In the house almost all Of
the time. As soon as he goes
out there's 4 disturbance be-
tween him and the neigh
bors. When he's ON the street
he's continually throwing
rocks at people: and calling
children names, and yelling
and meddling. As q result
everyone In the neighbOr-
hood hates him. I've lost all

the dishes. even though I have
lots of homework.
I know that Maureen and my
father are very disappointed in
me. but they didn't even give
me q chance. They got dis
gusted with me the first time ]
lost my temper and have never
forgiven me-
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Hector and Maureen should
recognize that their problems
with Loretta are not at all UNI
usual. II Maureen were Lo-
retta's real mother. she would
be facing very similar problems
with her at this time.
Il Is unfortunate that they
have taken Loretta's ontbursts
so seriously. because the girl
genuinely feels unwanted and
disliked BY her father and STEP
mother. Even II she were easily
forgiven. she would probably
nurse such feellngs--to q lesser
extent. II Is rather hard for her
to adjust to Q new mother after
q brief period Of being her ia
theirs only girl.
Loretta, Of course. does not
realize that Maureen's appar-
ent "grudge" comes out Of q
sense Of failure In dealing with
her. Maureen should not te
SO easily discouraged. She
should be willing to accept the
fact that this child can't al
ways be sweetness and light,
mo matter how much love il
shown her. She must rebel at
times. II Is inevitable that
she'll have attacks Of Jealousy
and irritability.
Maureen can easily win back
Loretta's love by playing up the
woman-to-woman angle. She
should show that she and Lo-
retta have q very special kind
Of closeness that excludes 9TH
ers in the family. She should
show how pleased and proud
she is TO have q teen-age
daughter. She should show
that she understands Loretta's
feelings and can easily for
give q mistake.
Hector. too. should 60 out OF
his way to show Loretta that
she hasn't entirely been re-
placed. She still occupies the
very special position OF his
daughter-and there can be no
substitute for that.

Children. like many grown

they are due to nervousness.
Sometimes they are uncon-
scious methods Of getting the

You seem to be greatly con-

concern unquestionably Is
transferred to him. Thousands
Of children develop habits that
are q trial to their parents.
But the sooner the parents
learn to control their own

about it alb the sooner do the
habits disappear, never to re-
turn.

the police than for his paper.
Sooner or later. the old time
city han reporter begins to de-
fend the mayor against the in
quisitive questions Of the city
editor. Sooner or later. even the
reporter In the local hospital
finds himself taking 1--WE and
ten dollar bills from the acct
dent lawyers.
From the moment q story
breaks. until 1t is locked into
q page form. the city editor
Is on top Of 1t. When q third
alarm comes in. for example.
1t is only one Of many stories
on which he is working. but he
will usually. at this moment. do
these things:
ID Detail a good man TO
cover 1t: az ask the picture
editor to assign a photog-
rapher; go tell the makeup
man to leave some space up
front for the fire: 90 pick up
the phone and tell his editor
that there is a big fire going.
that three alarms have come
in. and that the fire is still out
Of control; 80 call an artist to
his desk and ask him to draw
a street map showing the site
Of the fire: 90 call the re-
porter at the nearest hospital
and tell him to be alert for
victims and injured firemen:
90 send the early wire service
copy to the rewrite man who
will rap the story out: order the
rewrite man to phone the Fire
Marshaps Office to find out II
this one is incendiary; (8) ask
the morgue for clippings on
recent big fires.
Besieged on All Sides
While he is doing this the
phones are ringing. The court
reporter is waiting to ask the
city editor how much material
he wants on today's trial: an
other who has been working for
a week on a possible political
scandal wants TO know II he
can take tomorrow of; the pub
fishers sister wants to ask him
why he cannot assign a reporter
to a ladies' luncheon for the
suppression of horror comics: a
racket lawyer wants to give him
an exclusive on a scandalous d.
vorce: a columnist wants TO an
nounce that his copy will be
late: another reporter wants 70
talk about a utilities hearing; a
crackpot wants to give a flash
to the city editor and nobody
else but the city editor; a
stringer at the airport wants TO
know II he would be interested
in an interview with Miss Bub-
bles LaVere.
No matter how good he is. the
city editor never stops worry
ing. His moment Of truth comes
each day when a boy comes in
with the opposition newspapers.
Always the city editor pretends
TO be casual about IL. He con-
tinues TO shout his orders as his
eyes search page for a good
story which he hasn't got.

REPORTER
TribuIotions of q City Editor

The city editor Is q man with
no feelings. no friends. His
stan Of reporters Is never as
good as he would like, seldom
as bad as he fears. A good
one seldom thinks. He worries.
He worries about the city: he
worries about politics. church.

somewhere at the bottom Of
the list. his family.
There must be an old city
editor. I've never seen one, but
then, I don't know all Of them.
The ones I knew: Frank Car
son. Edward Mahar. Harvey

George Clarke. Harry Nichols.
Paul Schoenstein. George Nc
Donald. Warden Woolard.
Gene Farrell were all pretty
young and were burdened with
hearts and consciences-the IL
abilities Of the craft. Worse
yet. they had friends.
The city editor makes me
think Of the driver Of the 90
mule Borax team. He cracks
the whip over his reporters be-
cause they are his eyes and
his ears and. through them.

men are on the far side of

The city editor knows ap-
proximately what time the big

the witnesses are expected To
be and. quite often. what they
will testify. He knows who is
on the skids at police head
quarters and who. at this time
can do no wrong. He knows
things about the mayors pri-
vate life that Mrs. Mayor
doesn't know and. usually. he
knows which men on his staff
are paying alimony and how
far behind they are.
He knows the policies and
the politics Of his publisher
and. although the city editor
may not subscribe to them. he
will defend them, in print, TO
the death. He understands the
weaknesses Of his own men and
he. above all others, knows that
