1t was, as Mr.. Stergos well
knew, a rhetorical query. In
Suburbia, children turn into
decision-making adults over
night. Just like that. The event
occurs on a quite specific and
predictable day. 1t is the day
when they begin to drive a
car. The power of this mechan-
ical contrivance is rarely rea-
lized by parents until this event
is upon them. The social prep
aration for it is usually cor
respondingly meager.
Authority to drive on their
own removes the children's re-

first time in their lives. from
the more or less effective regu-

been working like beavers dur

The lady In mink stepped
out Of the convertible at the
supremely expensive Miami re-
sort hotel, so the story goes,
and gave the doorman firm
instructions. She wanted all of
her suitcases removed from the
ear with care. She wanted spe-
eial attention paid to her hat
boxes. And she wanted her son
carried upstairs to his room.
The doorman looked at the
boy, estimated that he was
about 13 years old and said:
But, Madam, can't the child
walk?"
The lady in mink replied:
"Of course, but isn't 1t nice
that he doesn't have to?"
I'm certain that this apocry-
phal lady was vacationing from
the rigors of Suburbia. I'm sure
Of it because overprotective
mothers rule the roost in the
suburbs, and it is sy-and
somewhat unfair to lampoon
them. For their attitudes, like
those of their husbands, are to
a considerable degree the in
evitable consequences Of sub
urban circumstances.
Let's first remember the en-
yironment in which the moth
ers operate. Not only is 1t
bland. 1t was painstakingly de-
signed in the dreams Of its res
idents to be bland. They
wanted life to be more quiet"
Clean" "fresh," and new"
Even their kids use these words
when they are asked to describe
Suburbia in contrast with the
city.
I trust 1t is no longer nee
essary to fe-emphasize that we
are not merely inspecting High
land Park and Bellefontaine
Neighbors. We are exploring
the suburban soul. Highland
Park and Bellefontaine Neigh
bors are our laboratories. But
Just to be positive that we are
not begging down in detours
away from Suburbia's main
stream, it is instructive to
glance northward from time to
time to check what the Ca
madam explorers found in
Crestwood Heights.
Mom's Battlefield
So here is what they have
to say about the setting Of
their laboratory and its effects:
"The thermostat Of the
Crestwood house maintains an
even temperature within the
house, and the child is pro-
tected from the elements when
he is outside by raincoat, snow
suit, station wagon coat and
the like - which are provided
without effort on his part. :.
He must, it is true, learn the
hazards Of automobile traffic,
but these are gadget-derived
threats, and hence, to him, ul-
timately controllable. To this
child, nature Is seldom either
beneficent or threatening. His
milk comes out Of q bottle; his
fruit out Of a basket. :"
This, then, is Mummy's bat
tlefield. 4
Let us next recall that she
has been deprived Of much
husbandly support. At the same
time, as we shall see later, she
has a strong inner need to pro-
tect her brood from the harsh
realities which she herself con- |,

allowed to cross the street" :"
The story by now has attained
something close to folklore
status. To me, the significant
aspect is that it could never
have been told about a kid on
the lower East Side Of New
York.
When groups Of children are
involved, the concern over their
safety does not diminish. On
busy Green Bay road, near
Highland Parks Edgewood Jun
ior High School, there is an in
tersection protected by a traf-
fic light. The light is equipped
with a button which the chill
dren can push, thereby making
all cars stop. No one can re-
member a serious accident at
this location. Yet the parents
kept insisting that a patrol boy
be stationed at the light to
pust the button at appropriate
times.
Edgewood's principal, Arno
Wehle, who happens to be the
rare kind of realist who has
managed to retain his perspec-
tive in Suburbia, refused to
furnish the additional protec-
tion. But the continuing
clamor from some mothers
gave him pause. when kids
get to be seventh and eighth
graders and can't cross Green
Bay road without getting killed,
there's something wrong" he
said.
Indeed there is.
What for?'
When it comes to exposing
kids to more distant segments
of their world, the caution
curve climbs further upward.
Rarly do they set foot in the
city, much less in small towns
or rural areas. What for2"
goes the suburban chorus.
We've got everything right
here and in the shopping CEN
ter"
Characteristically, the age
at which suburban children
should be certified to venture
into the city without parental
escort is a much-debated point.
