an effective method of pre-
venting conception.
The mental and physical
suffering and the human trag-
edy that has flowed from this
ignorance, are an ever-present
reality to the teachers, social
workers and health officials
who have to deal with the
problem.
Highest VD Rate In US.
Once every IL minutes, a
teen-ager in the United States
contracts a venereal disease.
Twenty-Five per cent Of the
babies born In the District Of
Columbia last year were illegi-
innate.
In the District Of Columbia
in 1861, the gonorrhea rate was
1882 per 100000 persons-by
far the highest in the United
States-and the syphilis rate
was S074 per 100000 persons,
second only to New Orleans.
Last year. tn ere were ITO
cases Of syphilis in infectious
stages and 1909 cases of gon-
orrhea reported among per-
sons under 10 in the District.
Why Parents Shun Topic
Mr.. Blaisdell, whose speciality
is giving brief, intensive courses
in huma n reproduction and
venereal disease in the schools
and to youth groups, has made
it q point to find out from his
audiences why they felt their
parents were not telling them
the facts of life. He lists their
replies In this order:
/. Our parents don't know.
2. They don't know how to
tell us.
3. They are embarrassed.
They think sex Is something
nasty.
4. They think If they tell US,
we might try 1t.
5. They don't think their boy
or their girl needs to know.
The most perceptive reply.
he said, came from one girl
who said:
The reason our parents ha-
vent told us is that they feel
that once we have this know
ledge, it will change our image
of their relationship to each
other"
Erroneous knowledge
Most educators feel that the
basic details Of the sex act are
fairly common knowledge
among children.
when I was going to
school," recalls Mrs. Juanita
Vim. supervising director Of
elementary supervision and In
struction, "a girl who lived on a
farm filled us in. We knew, but
we didn't tell our parents. We
had TO protect them"
Children are apparently still
protecting their parents-and,
because they have some know
ledge, however erroneous, about
sex, they don't ask questions.
Mr.. Blaisdell said he finds
only one youngster in 10 who
has asked his parents questions
about sex and reproduction
because they think they al
ready know the answers. But
when he gives them a simple
test, "they fall on their faces"
Many of the adults who have
become aware Of the conse-
quences of the lack of know
ledge are deeply concerne d
about it-but they are even
more concerned about the fail
ure Of the older generation to
pass on to their children a code
Of life to govern their actions.
Were not t teaching sex"

FROM EMBASSY ROW
The Glad Tidings Come
In Variety Of Accents

greetings and best wishes for
the New Year"
Some ambassadors use
prints or photographs from
their homelands for their
seasons cards. Luxembourg
Ambassador and Mrs. Georges
Heisbourg have sent out
reproductions of a charming
painting of a walled city,
entitled Luxembourg, circa
1840," with seasons greetings
inside. Finnish Ambassador
and Mrs. Richard Seppala
use the gold Finnish crest
and blue ribbon for the out
side Of their card, but inside
is a lovely cloud and water
scene Of Kaldo, their beloved
island In the Baltic.
Embassies Pictured
Other ambassadors choose
sketches of their embassies.
Both the Turkish Ambassa-
dor and the South African
Ambassador choose their
Washington residences. The
Turkish Ambassadors card
shows a sketch Of the embas-
Sy ON Sheridan circle, and q
drawing Of the South Afri-
can Embassy is on the front
of the Naudes' card with
greetings in African, French
and English.
There are religious cards
from ambassadors from
countries with predominately
Catholic populations, and
there are cards from organi-
cations whose membership is
composed Of a number of
countries. For instance, the
card of the Secretary Gener-
al of the Organization of
American States and Mrs.
Mora has flags of member
nations in red on a grey
background on the cover and
greetings engraved in grey
on the inside.
But whichever the country,
or whatever the card, they
all bear wishes for a happy
holiday and all good things
for 1864.

others Indian classics.
Chanukah. the feast of

Collectors Items

Christmas cards that al
most certainly will not be
pitched out by their recip-
tents after the holidays are
those designed by Mrs. JAG
qneline Kennedy, then First
Lady, to raise money for the
National Cultural Center.
The Hallmark Co. which
agreed to give its net profit
to the Cultural Center on
the more than a million"
Kennedy cards, has reported
the cards were already
breaking sales records even
before President Kennedy
was killed.
After his death stores in
this area were cleaned out of
the cards in a few days. 1t
was too late to print more
for this year, even If this had
been considered desirable,
which makes the cards COL
lector's items.
Some WashingtonianS
known by their friends to
have acquired a supply have
been receiving not-so-Subtle
hints to ''be sure I'm on your
card list this year"
This is what the cards look
like, in case you'd like to
watch your incoming mail:
One, entitled "The Journey
Of the Magi," shows the
Three Wise Men on black
camels with gold trappings
on a magenta background.
The other, titled "Glad

EDITORIAL TG@
MAJORITY RESPONSIBILITY
TO THE AVERAGE listener Or reader the behavior OF
the Senate as-1t opened this session might be just SO much
news, good reading, and then it was all over. No such thing
A legislative body is a public group, the most important and
distinguished body in any city, state, or nation, and its every
act is under constant scrutiny.
TWO MOST significant considerations arose as this new
Senate set out to make history. First, there is the unfortunate
realization that the majority party, fresh from its neW-tound
victory at the polls, is most anxious to preen its feathers and
remind one and all of who is boss. This kind Of statement
seems Almost lmfar, yet it could not dare have been said
except for what took place.
THE SECOND consideration is the deep, perhaps LAST
ing damage which our behavior might have brought about
Aner all, we are in the process of seekngt the fullest measure
of Selt-govenment. That can come only by Congressional
action, and Congress will be most hesitant to move graciously
in that direction if we work SO hard to convince it that we
are not ready.
IN ANY PARLIAMENTARY system, the majority has
a great and delicate responsibility. That responsibility is to
the entire community because that community has placed
its confidence in the majority. But more, since it has the
power to do practically anything it wishes, the majority
responsibility is that much greater. 1t must therefore act with
humility and sobriety, wearing its cloak with dignity and
understanding.
NOTHING WILL raise danger signals quicker than the
conduct OF a majority which wastes little or no time in show
ing its anxiety to Haunt the power it has. Then, even going
a step further, an attitude OF completely diSmiSSing the rights
of the minority is a sure telI-tae mark, and Washington will
become alarmed, and begin to exercise ctnbs which will III
timately turn back the hands of the clock, and postpone the
time wnen full self-government reaches these shores.
THE HOP HERE is that all of this walking out OF

Traffic Official
Tells How to
File Complaints

A Washington traffic official
urged city residents last night
to channl complaints about
traffic problems through their
neighborhood citizens aSsocia-
tions.
Speaking at a meeting Of the
Connecticut Avenue Citizens
Association, Joe F. Rice. chief
Of the city's Traffic Operations
Division said traffic complaints
received from neighborhood
organizations carry more
weight than complaints from
individual citizens.
Mr.. Rice told association
members a study is being made
of the Signal-lighting system
on Connecticut avenue to
provide adequate synchroniza-
ton. He also said that asSocia-
ton complaints about made
quate pedestrian protection at
intersections near schools in
the neighborhood would receive
prompt attention.
Members voted to change
their monthly meeting date
from the first Thursday to the
third Thursday Of the month

After reporters telephoned
Marine headquarters to ask
who wrote the profile, the in
formation officer showed up in

but many reporters had already
left with theirs.
The corps then went ahead
with the distribution.
The spokesman explained
that the corps had planned to
release the profile on January

from the present commandant,
Gen. David M. Shoup.

the profile was assembled"

that mo one wrote it."
Did Gen. Greene pass on it

Marine sources indicated he
did.
