Pop Had Better Get
Back Into the Act!

Another expert on raising other peoples
children has hoisted petard in field where
too many experts already exist.
This one-a New York social worker late
" in the news and delving into emotional
problems of teenagers-has come up with this
bright theory The model child-the studious
and obedient one-is the No. l candidate for
sudden outbursts that result in-among other
things-murder. The model child, according
to the experts not model at all but is seeth.
ing inside with parent-directed resentments.
This resentment, (the result of exacting obed.
ience from ones children), when it breaks
through transfers itself to complete strangers
and says the social worker-"there is no
telling who they will attack"
This particular expert is of the opinion
model children slated to become, among other
things, murderers, are produced by dominant,
over-solicitious parents who want to direct,
pet and protect them"
Great Balls of Fire! What next?
We have the experts who damn the par
ents for indifference or neglect of their off
spring and say the result of this is delinquent
cy Now we have this new school crawling
out of the woodwork which damns the disci-
pline and the affection and claims it fosters
a flock of young monsters well fortified for
a rash of killings.
With so darn many experts damning i'm
so many directions, parents are confused
1t will be small wonder II there isn't a mass
uprising where parents tell the experts to
mind their own darn business and allow par
ents to get on with the job of bringing up
their families.
1t would appear in this enlightened age
even the experts would subscribe to the fact
that civilization holds together by disciplines
exerted at various levels. The adults ability
to-and capacity for-passage through life
without being thrown for loss depends to
a large extent upon ability to cope with disci-
plines-whether they be self-imposed or inn
posed by society generally. Even the rugged
individualist is not totally exempt.
Roots of adjustment to discipline rest in
earlier years. If the roots are not well.ground-
ed, stone wall is hard place against which
to beat the head.
Be these things as they are To the sta
tistics, opinions and various schools of
thought on causes of delinquency. including
murder, now there is added this expert opin-
ion which may send the real experts scream
ing into the night. At the same time, it may
rally the forces subscribing to emancipated
womanhood and send Them charging like Ben
gal Lancers, in the direction of this unexpert
expert. II even may cause them to hire halls
for panel discussions to deal with this break

The simple truth Is: Roots of sO-called de.
linquency today, whatever form 1t takes, are
matted in the emancipation Of women. When
females rushed from the kitchen in hot pur-
suit of the polls, careers, civic committees,
and committees to raise other peoples chill.

mites crawled in the embroidery hoops
The American Male with thought or
two on the cute little woman and bit of ro-
mantle Difference in his makeup, let her go
and she went and she kept going
In her strides forward = among other
things-she managed to displace the male as
head OF the family and to her hands were
transferred the reins of discipline. She never
was and never will be qualified for either Job.
When these things occurred father took a
back seat that is, he took a back seat when
ne wasn't busy whipping out the homework
or washing Johnnie's diapers
About year ago, a well-known iurist con-
cerned with juvenile delinquency on world
wide basis made personal survey in a num-
Der of countries to learn about causes. He
found the lowest rate of delinquency in Italv.
He found, too, Italy was the sole country of
those surveyed where papa banged the table.
bore down on young behinds and mama said
Yes, Sir" when she said anything at all In
short, in Italy papa is BOSS
Let's face it, In this country, mama rims
the show, dallies around in the theories of the
experts on child raising, and rocks papa back
on his heels If he is bold enough to challenge
her supremacy.
Let's face this too: Mama wears the
pants but she also holds on to her role of
little mother and homemaker. In this. she is
encouraged by the commercial vendors of
songs greeting cards, and merchandisers of
gifts on certain holidays

he's no longer the No. l Boy. Aided and
abetted by popular teevision shows. he is
something of a comic character whose fun.
bling, weak, MISUNDERSTANDING approaches
to being papa are over-ridden when mama
comes home
The conclusion to be reached from this
unexpert opinion is this: When Papa comes
out of the kitchen and assumes his rightful
authoritarian, head-of-the.household Mace in
the American family; when mama and the
children learn papa is more than whimsical
half-comic character when the Youngsters
and mama learn papas word is law and the
law cracks down in the right places; when
papa becomes man and not mouse in family
raising, then-and only then-wil statistics
change will the experts take up their beds
and walk, and will the country settle down IN
normalcy

this law, the defendant would be not guilty be-
cause had the defendant in fact been Napoleon
and the victim, in fact, Wellington, the
killing would have been justifiable under the
rules of war and the defendant would have
acted reasonably within the framework of
his delusion
But suppose this ill defendant, thinking
himself to be Napoleon, suffers delusiOn in
which he thinks his victim is Josephine and
thereby kills her. Here "had the delusiOn
been reaT' the defendant did not have the
right to kill the woman because Napoleon did
not have the right to kill Josephine.
Thus if the insane man acts reasonably
upon his insane delusion he will be forgiven,
but it, having an insane delusion, he acts un-
reasonably, he will be executed.
All of this sounds like nonsense. 1t in
deed is. But the same judges who promul-
gated this idiocy are the very ones who pro-
duced the fright and wrong" test of criminal
responsibility as it exists in Maryland today.
There may be something to be said in
favor of the fright and wrong" test. But there
is one thing certain; that if the right and
wrong test is valid it is in spite of the ignor-
ance of the judges who wrote it and not be-
cause of their wisdom.
Furthermore, considering the source OF
the present rule of criminal insanity in Mary
land and considering the abyss of ignorance
from which it was extracted, if it is a good
rule it is the most miraculous coincidence
since the little Chinese boy had the good luck
to burn down his house over the roast pig.

City's Appearance

nOCKVILLE residents and the many persons outside of
n the city who interested in proper development of
the county seat should consider the launching of serious
study to weigh the desirabty of enactng ordinance
that would set compulsory architectural standards for
city buildings particularly those in the general of
Court House Square.
One recently -competed office building at N Perry ST.
and E. Montgomery ave. probably the most conspicuous
of the city and located directly from the
Court House. is beautiful example of how building
be erected with those responsible apparently having little
or no interest in esthetics If utility and drab appearance
were their goals, they succeeded admirably
On the other hand recent completion of the jefferson

wildly how financial interests by exercising imagination

Spending Time

When the weather is brisk.
the trees are red and yellow and
green, and the autumn flowers
are still blazing with beauty, it
is a temptation just to enjoy
them.
But most of us know that
conditions are not so gorgeous
as they look here, and there are
many stretches in the world
which have not even gorgeous
looking spots.
Do we take the time, when
we are not pushed with per-
sonal or business needs, to find
out what is going on in the
rest of the world, above and
below us here, and part way
round the earth, too? Or do we
leave that to the other fellow
to take care of?
Sometimes we are so pushed
that we can barely get by our
selves. We would sink if we
tried to concern ourselves with
the distant people.
But there are great stretches
In many lives when there is
room for something new or diff
ferent, some variety in our
point of view. Do we spend it
all playing juke boxes, watching
television, fishing, or on some
hobby, rather than reach out to
those other people who govern
us, or are governed by us
perhaps even people around the
world from us-who live so diff
ferently it would not seem like
life to us, people who may
struggle to live without really
knowing which way is ahead.
Which way is ahead? Not Just
for you and your small group,
but for all of us? Because a
small group cannot survive
alone. Some day we will have to
learn to head in the same direc.
ton in our different ways. The
sooner we start thinking about
which direction. the more
chances we have of choosing the
way, instead of having someone
choose 1t for us.
