FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

COMMOTION-At an i'm
presSive ceremony in his
home town of Worcester,
Mass. Humorist Robert
Benchley was made an hon.
orary fireman and was pre-
sented with q helmet. To
Benchley, 1t was . childhood
dream come true.
When he returned to his
New York ONCE he put on
the helmet and gazed admir-
ingly into the mirror. 1t was
still perched on his head as
he sat at his typewriter. He
was pecking away absently
when he heard the hum of
voices and the sound of run
ming feet. He raised an in
Quiring eyebrow; then his
curiosity eVaporated and he
dismissed the sounds from his
mind.
Downstairs the commotion
grew In volume. To the con-
fusion was added the clang
Of bells and the blowing of
whistles. Oblivious to it all,
Benchley finished his humor-
Gus piece and tripped down.
stairs. his helmet still on his
head.
When he reached the floor
below he discovered the ONCE
under his had been demolish-
ed by fire.

Opponents Of plans to widen

the District Commissioners to
reconsider their approval Of the
project.
The Chevy Chase Citizens

at its first fall meeting re-
questing the city heads to defer
the widening until further

lions like, 'Tn what way?",
what would you like to
happen?" or, do you mean
In the next five years-or
later?" The question, How
many dates should a girl have
before getting engaged?"
could beget questions like,
What do you fhink?",
"What makes you suddenly
ask that?" or, How many
dates would you like to have
before getting engaged?"
These questions should lead
to still more until Bernice
is able to bring out her con-
fusions q little more fully.
Bernice should be treasured
that she probably doesn't
have more problems than
most teenagers. The girls Of
her age who appear wise, flip
and self-posseSSed are often
just as uncertain and fright
ened underneath as she is.

LAW IN THE NEWS
Everyone's Entitled
To His Day in Court
by Walt Disney

that he had been arrested
three times for drunken driv-
ing and his license was later
revoked permanently, after
he had been in an accident.
As you might suppose, this
kind Of case is pretty rare,
and chances are the offended
motorist will have trouble
In court.
One big barrier to success
in such instances is, Of
course, the contribution Of
the complainant to his own
fate. District attorneys are
usually quick to emphasize
this angle, and they have q
time -honored legal princi-
pie to fall back on-namely,
that you cannot ignore your
own responsibility when you
seek to put the blame on
the other party-particu-
larry If you we're the one who
initiated the circumstances
being complained Of.
In other words, the law re-
quires every adult citizen to
Cd know what is expected Of
him under our laws and (2)
assume responsibility for fol-
lowing them. II he fails to
do this. he won't be excused
even though outside" forces
contribute to his downfall.
Nevertheless, this case
won't be taken lightly by
public agencies, private char
ity organizations, public util-
titles, etc. For it suggests a
line Of legal reasoning which
conceivably may place in
creased responsibility on
them by imposing liability
for their mistakes Of judy
ment.

because I have nobody in
whom / can conflde. / have
many problems, maybe more
than most teen-age girls, but
I can't go to my parents be-
cause they are always busy
with their own affairs.
All the girls tell me they
discuss their problems Of
dating and petting and such
things with their mothers.
My mother doesn't approve
Of my being interested in
such things. She never even
really told me any of the facts
Of life--just gave me a few
hints. I learned the rest from
friends.
I would also like to talk to
my father about my future,
but he just laughs at me
and tells me to do my school
work now and be a good girl,
and the future will take care
OF itself. I have an older
brother. who happens to be a
real jerk, so he's no help at
all.

. got lots of attention, Bernice
did. She's the only girl
in the family and has always
been dotted on by both of
us, especially by her father.
Yet she always has COM
planned that nobody under
stands" her.
Some of Bernice's uueS-
tons are just silly and inn
possible. She'll ask. "What is
going to become of me?" or,
How many dates should q
girl have before becoming
engaged?" or equally silly
questions about sex. The fact
that she has gotten answers
doesn't stop her from ask
ing again.
1t is not true that I did
not tell Bernice the facts Of
life. ! told her as best I could.
She seemed very embarras-
sed and did not ask any
questions, so / didn't 60 into
unnecessary details, but she
knows / would have been glad
to answer all her questions
and didn't want her going to
friends.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
> Bernice appears to have
many fears and uncertainties
about her first steps into
womanhood. 1t is very prob
able that she doesn't know
exactly what she is afraid
Of, but would like to be re-
assured by her parents.
1t would be a good idea If
Bernice's parents got into the
habit of answering some of
her questions with another
question, instead Of a short
answer. There is something
pressing behind her silly
questions and her parents
may be able to help her to
expose some Of those dark,
simmering problems"
The question, What is
going to become Of me?" for
example, should beget ques-

DEAR ABBY
Why Shouldn't Scouting Begin at Home?
BY ABIGAIL VAN BUREN,

DEAR ABBY: Scouting is
wonderful, especially when
you have two sons growing
up. But shouldn't Scouting
begin at home? There are
screens to put UP. painting
to be started and yard work
to be done. My husband and
sons think Scouting means
to pack a lunch and 60 for a
hike. Their intentions are
good but our place is q dis
grace to the neighbors. What
do you say to that, Abby?
NOM
When I was q Girl Scout
Troop So, Sioux City, Iowa,
l learned that q good Scout
had to do q good deed every
day. Charity begins at home
and there Is no better place
to be q good Scout.

DEAR ABBY: What do you
think Of a sister-in-law who

starts housekeeping? She

She's one Of those fuss-budget
types who can't stand to see q
Speck Of rust anywhere or q

torn apart my cupboards and
closets till I think I will go
nuts looking for stuff she
either threw away or put
somewhere else. She's my

I can't tell her of. What can
I do? GOING NUTS
This Is one battle you will

DEAR DIR. STEINCROHN:
I am a young mother Of a 20
month-old boy. Until he was
10 months old he was sweet
as the proverbial apple pie.
Lately he has become un-
manageable. He is stubborn
and has frequent tantrums
ard won't mind. I am wor-
ried. We keep wondering how
awful Nto manage he will be
when he grows UP. ! hope you
can reassure me. Mrs. d. B.
MUCH WILL DEPEND up
on how you and your hus-
band react to your sons
apparent straight course
toward delinquency" Believe
me, 1t is not so serious as you
think.
Perhaps the following quote
can straighten out your
thinking in the matter. It is
from a delightfully."- written
article called the Irritable
Child" Originally 1t appeared
in the Ohio q. P. News.
Written by James L. Dennis.
M. D., Medical Director in
charge of Graduate Educa-
ton at the Children's HoSpi-
tai Of the East Bay, Oakland
Calf:
Between Is months and 3
years Of age, irritable chill
dren must be considered
somewhat normal. This Is the
little stinker' age during
which a parent is likely to
feel that he has sired q con-
genital Dead End kid.
THE loving, pliable, and
completely dependent baby Of
only q few months ago sud-
denly has developed ability
to run in several directions
at one time. He Is like q hot
rod with no braking mech
aniSnn.
His resistance to adult
domination Is manifested by
anger, tantrums, resentment,
stubborness, and refusal to
conform. This resistance is
often met by counter-resist-
ance and the home becomes
q battlefield.
In this respect the 2-year-
old is much like the Adde'S
cent. and this period is some
times called the FIRST adde's
cence. Major disobedient
children are unhappy and
irritable children.
Here again, the family
doctor can be q key figure
in preventing major disasters
by helping parents under
stand the child's early behav-
ior. In fact. the parental at
titude calls for no less than
that given by an animal
trainer to his young pets-a
loved novice in need Of gentle,
firm. persistent, and repititouS
guidance" Therefore, Mrs.
d. B.. I suggest that you con-
slider this nothing but q
passing phase" Take your
son to your pediatrician or
family doctor to rule out
any other cause for his ir-
ritability.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Headed for Delinquency?
BY DR.. PETER J. STtIhcRoHN

THE SALICYLATES (aspi-
rim, etc. are still considered
the drugs of choice. Not only
do they work by lessening
pain and fever; they seem to
exert direct effect on the
disease itself by lessening
Joint swelling and decreasing
both the pulse rate and sedi-
mentation rate.
In conjunction with these.
the physician will prescribe
ACTH or cortisone II neces-
sary. They help to cut short
the infection and prevent
complications. Antibiotics
(penicillin, sulfa drugs. etc.
are used, not only during the
acute infection, but are given
daily in small doses over
months and years to prevent
recurrent attacks.
But drugs are not enough.
There must be rest during the
attack. Two kinds Of rest:
physical and emotional. For
example, when a small child
is forcibly kept in bed Ito
rest" he really overexerts
more than II he were occa-
Sionally allowed up in a chair
for q short while.
And If too much of a fuss
is made about possible heart
complications, this anxiety of
the parents is easily commu-
nicated to the apprehensive
child, and you have an emo
tional problem on your hands.
With the newer concepts of
treatment I have just OUT
lined. patients are having
fewer heart complications
and are less likely to get
repeat attacks of rheumatic
fever.
