DEAR ABBY: I have q best
girl friend named Joannie
and she and / agreed to tell
each other the honest-to-
goodness truth about each
others faults. She told me
all my faults and then when
it came my turn to tell her
all her faults she said she had
to go home. Do you think
this was fair? We are 10
years old.

JOannie wasn't a very good
sport, but she Is typical Of

Mother interested in getting
her own apartment. but she
is really too old to be so lone
ly. She has no friends of
her own and depends on me
completely to provide her
with entertainment.
l am trying to get Edna to
realize that she must have
respect for the aged-that she
too will be old and unwanted
some day.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
We're all for respect for the
aged, but we do feel the aged
also owe some respect to the
young.
1t is the moral duty of the
young to be patient with
physical and mental infrmi-
ties in the aged, to offer COM
fort and affection, but we
don't feel it is necessary or
right for them to accept the
tyranny of the aged.
OF course Edna is all wrong
to talk back to her grand
mother, but it is not unrea-
sonable for her to want some
privacy or to take offenSe
when her grandmother in
trudes on areas that are not
her province. 1t is asking
quite a lot of a l2-year-old
girl to force her to swallow

He was happy. His life's work
was done. Instead of devoting
his solitary energy to God,
there were three Quigleys
working for His greater honor
and glory.
I sat one sunny afternoon
in the rectory of st. AnaSta-
STA Church in Teaneck, New
Jersey. Father Sylverius
Quigley told the story to me.
The 50th anniversary of his
priesthood was approaching
and he was reminiscing about
his father.

Its just the story of a poor
boy who lost the toss of a
coin"

Young QuigIey had lost his
hearts desire before he was
a week out of Ireland. "I'll
get a position somewhere" he
said. land I'll keep in touch
with you. AS much as I can
afford is what you'll be get

The disappointment was
enormous. God had called
the coin and had selected
McDermott. Quigley resigned
himself to it. He got a Job
in New York and he sent
money to McDermott. The
young loser moved west to
Pittsburgh and got a lob
there. He sent money to Nc
Dermott every week. He pro-
Spered. In time, Quigley
bought his own green grocery
and bought a house.
Always money was sent to
McDermott. First there was
a little. Then a little more.
Soon seminarian McDermott
had nothing to worry about.

Yes, it is difficult to change
the habits Of the aged, but
in all fairness to her family,
Mrs. L. L. should make the
effort. She must get her
mother to understand that
this household and family
belong to her alone, and if
the elderly woman wishes to
be part of 1t she must accept
a minor role.
We believe that If Mrs. L. L.

States. They stood at the rail
and they saw the green head
lands of Ireland fade into the
blue of the Atlantic. There
was, they knew, a great civil
war going on in the new
country, but they wanted no
part of it.
Day after day, the big ship
creaked as it headed into the
long summer ground swell.
They spoke, shyly at first. and
then with confidence. Quig-
ley said he wanted to study

Like two Englishnen who

Grandma.
Mrs. L. L.-She must show

THE DETAILS
Edna LII am a i2-year-

run away.
It's all because of my grand
mother. She came to live with
us recently and ! have to
share my room with her. It's
just awful. / have no privacy
at all. When my friends come
in Grandma just deliberately
walks in and starts fussing
around the room.
But that's not the worst of
1t. Grandma bosses our whole
house. She even bawlS out
Mother for talking too long
on the telephone or for not
wearing the right clothes or
not fixing up the house the
way she would like it. She
tells Dad he ought to get a
different job and get Mother
more nice things. I'm the
only one with enough nerve
to- talk back to Grandma.

always been the domineering
type and / don't think any
thing can be done to change
her at her age.
I have a brother who would
be willing to have her visit
with him for at least half
the year, but she doesn't get

Preparation
Needed for
Retirement

Dear DIR. SteincrOhn: My
father has worked for the
same firm for almost rs years.
He Is 50 and faces automatic
retirement next year. Al
though he will have a small
pension, You never saw q more
unhappy man in your life.
He Is worried and getting
actually depressed.
Isn't II awful for healthy
man TO be put on the shelf
when he still has many more
years Of good work in his
system? I hate 10 think Of
how my father will react
after he Is asked TO leave.
Mrs. L. L. j.
Here is what Bernard M.
Baruch said: Compulsory re-
tirement Is no boon to those
who despite their years are
both willing and able to con-
tinue working. Nor does 1t
serve society to be deprived
of the talents of these ex-
perienced people. Compulsory
retirement often forces peo-
pie into lonely, empty lives
and often forces society to
bear the burden of their sup
port. Retirement should be
based not on age but on abil-
itys'
Ueople fall into two main
categories: those who want
to keep working right up until
the very end and those who
dream of retiring early so
that they can pursue their
hobbies.
Preparation for retirement
should begin earlier in life.
Whether it is enforced retire.
ment at SIS or willful retire
ment at so or SIS, we should
know how to fill spare time
and overcome boredom. You
can't develop a day-filling and
absorbing hobby overnight.
But there is always time for
a beginning. Perhaps Mrs.
l.. L. US father can salvage
the coming years by finding
one, AS I see it, that is much
better than medicine in pre-
venting depression.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Don't
you think doctors. are stress
ing the mind too much in its
effect on the body? Mrs. IF.
In the fourth century B. C.
Plato said: For this is the
great error of our day in the
treatment Of the human body,
that physicians separate the
soul from the body" Plato
and Hippocrates and a few
others recognized the close
connection between mind and
body, but it took medicine al
most 20 centuries to realize
its Importance and actually
treat physical illness by a
consideration of the patients
mind.
I would hate to see medi-
cine regress by again releRat-
ing the mind to a back seat.
Many's the case of stomach
and duodenal ulcer, diarrhea,
intestinal spaSm, diabetes,
coronary disease, hyperion
sion. etc., that improved only
after the physician attacked
the problem through the por-
tails of the mind.
