One Of the phonieSt of as

worthwhile items have al
ready been collected and
are reposing quietly in the

of our marriage. 1t is my
husbands terrible temper.
Perhaps I shouldn't call it
terrible because he has never
done anything more violent
than swear, bang a door or
slap a child, but there is fe-
rocity behind these gestures.
He often flares up at silly
things and his facial express
sions are sometimes fright
ening.
He simply must discipline
himeslf so it won't happen in
front of the children. They
are really afraid of him at
times.
Jeffrey S.-Marge knows
that have the children's
interest at heart but there
are times when you have to
let a child know what's what.
If you're afraid to frighten
him or leave a bad impression
on him you get absolutely no
place.
Our kids are pretty loosely
disciplined. Marge is excep-
tionally patient and never
even yells at them. Someone
must take a strong hand.
According to Marge. you
should never be anything but
sweetness but how many peo-
pie can be like her? I don't
think it does the kids a bit
of harm to be afraid of me
when they do wrong.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Like the alcoholic, who is
convinced his drinking is en-
tirely under control, jeff re-
fuses to entertain the idea
that there is something amiss
in his conduct.
1t does children no harm to
see a bit of well-timed, right
eous wrath on the part of a
parent, but it does them no
good to see frequent, IRA
tional f1are-ups. The violence
behind the f1areups may be
controlled, but the signs Mar
garet notes are also seen by
the children.
Eventually. we think they
will become unafraid of these
f1are-ups. They will come to
realize that their father can't
control them and that they
represent weakness rather
than strength.
jeff should try to look at
his behavior more honestly
Possibly he merely wants tc
discipline the children, but
we think it more likely ne is
simply giving vent to his owr
fury or irritation, which may
arise from causes having
nothing to do with the
children.
This may call for the helr
of a psychiatrist.

LONDON, Dee. 8 (AP) The
British Treasury announced
today a cut in the Bank oi
England lending rate-from
5la per cent TO 5 per cent.
/. The Bank of England rate
sets the pattern for interest or
loans by all British banks and
other lending institutions.
One immediate effect Of the
cut should be to slow down the
flow Of "hot" money from the
United States seeking the
higher interest rates available
here.
This should help stem the
serious recent outflow oi
Americas gold reserves to for
eign banking centers.
The bank rate reduction
also represents a relaxation oi
the conservative governments e
severe credit squeeze.
This has been blamed for ex.
tensive layoffs in the automobil,
industry. The industry's ex.
ports have dwindled in recent
months and the credit squeeze
made it difficult to sell tn,
