Speaking as a parent who's continually yanking
children away from teevison to say, Here, read
book" it's hard to beieve-but librarians and book
sellers tell that children reading than
these days Stimulated by of the things they
Tv. they actually go hunting down books related
to the subject.
One mother told me- MY sons Perry Mason fam
He got started watching the program, and gobbles
up every Perry Mason book he get. Sure it's only
Perry Mason-but it's reading And in time he'll turn
to other books"
Perhaps the most charming story about getting chill
dren to read told by Miss Lahuna Hoowe sixth grade
teacher at Takoma school MY uncle used to read to
every night And shortly before the book finished
he'd buy and bring home which he kept wrapped
the shelf We not allowed to open the package
know what the book about until the book we
were reading finished.
The lesson being-you don't discard the old just be-
you have something And to this day can't
stand to book wrapped up I'm so curious so filled
with anticipation"
If other parents or teachers have suggestions about
getting children to read they would be most welcome

 Prepared by the Police Department of
 Houston, Texas 1. Begin at infancy to give the child everything he wants. In this way he will grow up to believe the world owes him a living. him. This will make him think he IS cute. 3. Never give him any spiritual training. {. Wait until he is 2l and then let him I" "decide for himself".
 4. Pick up everything he leaves lying arourd-books shoes, clothes. Do every- thing for him so that he will be e2zper- fenced in throwing all responsibility on others.
 5. Quarrel frequently in his presence. Tn this way he will not be too shocked when the home is broken later. 6. Give a child all the spending money he wants. Never let him earn his own. Why should he have things as tough you had them? '. Satisfy his every craving for food, drink and comfort. Denial may lead to harmful fro1s trations. 8. Take his part against neighbors, teachers, policemen. They are all pre- judiced against your child. 9. When he gets into real~t trouble, apologize for yourself by saying, IT never could do anything VII th<f1imk 10. Prepare for life of grief. You-~ are bound to have it.

DEAR ABBY
What Is q Good Loser?
By ABIGAIL VAN BUREN,

DEAR ABBY: My son is
on the high school basket
ball team. He's a good stu
dent and is well liked. His
team hasn't won many games
this season. Anyone in sports
doesn't expect to win all the
time, but our son is such a
hard loser it is making me
sick. When his team loses, he
comes home and cries like
a baby. No one can talk to
him. His father and I think
we should make him quit
sports if he can't take a loss
any better than that. Would
it help if we punished him?
He should learn how to be
a good loser.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
husband has just come from
the doctor. / was surprised
that he was told he is all
right. It's true he may not
have any physical illness.
His observation-disclosures, lung
X-rays and other examina-
tons are all negative. But
I still think he's sick. Isn't
there such a thing as
emotional illness? He has
been worrying terribly about
his business. He has lost his
appetite. doesn't sleep well,
and has been depressed.
Under those conditions would
you label a patient as being
"all right?"-Mrs. v.
Some people can be phys
ically well. yet be sick be-
cause their emotions are
causing disturbances. A
doctor can learn about this
only If he takes the time to
talk to his patient and tries
to assess how the man or
woman is reacting to his en-
vironment (Which includes
his home and business life).
Physical examination and
the use Of various new
tangled examinations are not
enough to establish whether
or not a patient is "all
right"
It's so important to OBJ
tain a complete history
from a patient. For it is
true that we should become
suspicious of emotional dis
turbance in any patient who
has some, or many, Of the
following symptoms: Taking
more alcohol drinks than
usual; eating too little, or too
much; insomnia, which per-

What q Pity!

The business agent for Local $50
Of the international Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers said last week that
he hoped the electricians who have
been on strike at the RedStone Arsenal
will 60 back to work. He read the union
members court order requiring them
to call off the strike and similar di-
rective from the IBEW president. But
the business agent, James Haygood,
wasn't overly optimistic. 'Ive acted in
good faith" he said, but don't know.
The strikers "are not happy"
This is a great pity. The strikers
have been unhappy because two or three
non-union men we're working at Red
stone. The strikers thought these men
should be fired or forced to join the
union. Meanwhile, the two-week strike
has held up work on the Saturn rocket,
our big hope in trying to overcome
the Russian lead in rocket booster
power. The consequences were so seri-
Gus that both President Kennedy and
Secretary Of Labor Goldberg felt i'm
PEELED to condemn the strike. But un-
happy strikers are unhappy strikers.
