Dear DR.. SteincrOhn: A
number Of weeks ago l under
stand you had a column in
our paper on bed wetting.
I'm sorry 1 missed it. We
have that problem with our
13-year-Old boy. Did you
have anything to say about
the electrical gadgets that
are advertised? Are they
worth q try? Sincerely, Mrs.
ID. X.
I wrote at that time that any
harmless treatment is worth
o try" in alternating the frus-
trations and miserable feeling;
of inadequacy these children
have. BY all means have a gc
at the "gadget." But be pre-
pared for failure. They don't
always work. Here is a case In
which the electrical "waket-
upper" did help:
Dear DIR. .Steincrohn: I read
your column on bed wetting
some time ago and thought l
would write you about Il. !
have a boy who is now IL
and wet the bed until he was
about 10. / never punished
him. I believed, as you do.
that punishment Is not fair.
When a child is deep in sleep
he cannot help IL. / never
thought my boy did 1t out Of
spite.
l used TO get him up at
all hours Of the night. As
many as four or five times.
Then one day my mother
saw an ad in the paper about
q bed-wetting gadget that
was fixed up with a bell and
light. When the first drop
Of urine hit that pad II
would set of q bell and n
light would 60 on.
We rented II for a month.
II cost us $50. We kept II
for q month-but after one
week we didn't really have
any further use for II. He
has never wet the bed since.
Now he can 60 camping out
with the Boy Scouts and 60
visiting his friends. I never
have 10 worry about him like
i used 10. II was certainly
$50 well spent.
! know some parents who
ought TO try IL for their
children even though II is
expensive. IL Is certainly
kinder than not doing every
thing possible 10 help. Like
you, DR.. SteincrOhn, I shud-
der when I think Of how

Entertains 200 Students
More than 200 art students
at Westinghouse were re-
called with the real inside of
comic strip life by the 56-year-
old cartooniSt. When the
laughter subsidized after his an
swer to the glove query, Mr..
Smith explained seriously that
the original author of Mutt
and JEFF, the late Bud Fisher,
drew them wearing gloves
even when they were in the
bathtub - because he had
trouble drawing hands. He
said many artists do. When
Mr.. Smith took over the strip
26 years ago, he just decided
the gloves were a marking
characteristic, and he con-
tinued the practice.
Incidentally, he took the
gloves of Mrs. Mutt some years
ago to make her a little less
of q battleax. Then he drew
the new Mrs. Mutt for the
students-but when he turned
to face them. Mr.. Smith some
how had acquired a charcoal
black eye. That brought down
the house.
Earlier yesterday, Mr.. Smith
also appeared at Thomas JEFF

a widower with one grown son.
This boy. Roger, had lived
with his father until two years
ago when he went away to
college.
Roger is the apple of my
husbands eye and I was pre-
pared to treat him as a son
of my own. Unfortunately,
however, he doesn't seem to
like me. This doesn't bother
me as much as the fact that
he seems to be trying to
estrange himself from his
father.
Roger didn't come home for
his past two vacations. He
went to visit friends of his in
another city. His father was
heartbroken. He doesn't write
often in spite of the fact that
his father writes twice a week.
I want to help bring them
closer together.
Roger ST. have tried to
reaSsure my stepmother that
this thing has nothing to do
with her and that I bear her
no grudge. I don't think she
should have injected herself
into the situation that exists
between my father and me.
Actually. I have known for a
long time that my father and
l have nothing in common.
When I was younger we had
a common interest in sports.
This no longer interests me in
the slightest. My fathers talk
boreS me to death.
My father has tried to show
an interest in my books and
studies. but his attempts are
pathetic. He doesn't really care
about these things. My STEP
mothers interests are the same
as his. He doesn't need me
and shouldn't be lonesome any
more.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
There is little Mrs. M. S. can
do to alleviate this painful STU
ation-outside Of showing her
goodwill toward Roger and her
desire to make him feel at home
when he does visit.
Roger seems to be going
through a stage in which he
is trying to establish a new and
higher identity for himself. His
hold on this identity is so
feeble that he is using rather
violent methods to cut himself
of from his old self-the. self
that enjoyed sports and con-
tact with his father.
Roger should recognize that
his attitude is extremely inn
matNre. The statement that he
and his father have nothing
in common" is laughable. If
nothing else. they have in
common a thousand memories
based on daily life under the
same roof.
Rogers sudden disdain of
sports is equally foolish. It is
possible for him to lose the
great enthusiasm for them he
probably had in his teen years,
but it is most unlikely that he
has really so completely lost
interest he cannot endure any
talk at all on this subject. This
smacks of pretense and af-
fectation.
Roger does indicate he has
some feeling that his STEP
mother has taken his place in
his fathers life. If he looks the
facts squarely in the face, he
will recognize the absurdity of
this notion. Roger should level
with himself and face the fact
that his current attitudes are
way of the beam. He would
probably find 1t helpful to dis
cuss some Of these things with
a school psychologist. If one is
available.

The Catholic Welfare Bureau
extended its services to 100
children living with their par.

because their children were be.

parents felt they could not con-
troll them without help.
Some of the children were
brought to the attention of the
Bureau by their pastors or by
school authorities. Help for 9th.
ers was requested by Juvenile
Courts and other social agen-
cies. Others were children who
had been returned to their par

BRIEF SERVICE
The Catholic Welfare Bureau
helped 1877 families and indi-

Among the services in this
category are emergency grants
of money to tide families over
emergencies, shelter over night,

Included also are help in find.

this could not be blamed on

Referring to another charge
made by the newspaper, that
Negro pilgrims were made to
travel in separate buses during
their stay in London, Father
Brady said that pilgrims were
assigned to various buses ac-
cording to the hotels they lived
in, to minimize the amount of
travelling each bus had to make.

The north wing had been occu-
pied August %, 1856. The center
and south wing which had been
started as soon as the old build
ings we're vacated, was occu-
pied on October II, 1857. Dedi-
cation of the building was de-
layed until the venerable old
chapel could be renovated.
AS the year drew to a close
it was expected that the entire
building program would be COM
pleted and the building would
be ready for blessing by Bishop
Issenmann early in the spring.
The new buildings replaced
worn out, congregate style build
ings which dated back to 1875.
In their place, the Diocese has
erected modern structures suit
led to the family style living
needed by today's children.
A maximum of sixteen chill
dren live in each apartment
where their own siSter-house-
mother supervises their activi-
ties. The children attend seven
of the parish schools and take
part in many neighborhood ac-
tivities.
During 1857 st. Vincent's was
the home for l26 children, aged
two to sixteen years. The aver
age stay of the SO children who
were in residence December 81,
1857, was 1913 months. The six
ty-eight children who had left
the institution during 1857 had
been living in Saint Vincent's
an average of only 21.5 months.
ST. EUPHRASIA SCHOOL
The oldest of the charitable
institutions of the Diocese of
Columbus is Saint Euphrasia
School. This institution has been
conducted by the Sisters of the
Good Shepherd in Columbus
since 1865. In 1857 it cared for
108 teen-age girls who needed
guidance and training because
their behavior had become the
concern of their families and of
the community.
Many of the girls are not
Catholics, Most of the girls had
been referred to the school by
the Juvenile Courts of the Gen.
trail Ohio counties. A few were
referred by other social agen-
cies. December 81, 1857, there
were seventy girls resident in
the school.
