Consistent raining
Way to Discipline

the situation was finally
Strengthened out.
The obvious trouble was of
course that May hadn't
learned discipline right along.
Summer is a good time for
parents to set up activities
for their teen-agers and see
that they are carried out.
Proper attitudes towards
work prescribed by parental
authority lead to proper atti-
tude towards discipline by
other authorities in later life.
Since every law-abiding citi-
zen has had to develop toler-
ance to control, a child who
grows up without learning it
is headed for trouble.
BY nature, teen-agerS are
beginning to resist parental
restraints, but such explosive
behavior as Mays can be
avoided If discipline is built
up gradually over a period of
years.
What to Do
Here are a few suggestions
for a starter:
Boys as well as girls can
learn to cook and prepare
family meals under a moth
er's supervision.
Each child can be given
responsibility for some part
Of the greeting and enter
tanning of guests, including

DEAR ABBY

DEAR ABBY: How can
you call a woman with a pre-
fabricated family a mother
in the highest form? That
was an insult to true moth
erhood. What does a woman
who has adopted four chill
dren know about the Joy Of
first learning that she is to
bear a child? What does she
know about the beauty of
carrying a child under her
heart? What does she know
about the thrill of a child's
first cry? What does she
know about the fulfillment
of actually giving life?
MOTHER OF FIVE.
Perhaps she knows moth
ing of the "jOy, the beauty,
the thrill and the fulfill
ment" you mention. But don't
you think that the woman
who asks for the measles,
humps, heartacheS, risks,
sacrifices and the challenges
Of rearing a child, with none
of the attending blessings Of
bearing her own, is deserv-
ing Of special praise? l do.

DEAR ABBY: We have
been happily married for one
year, and my problem is my
wife, when I am driving. I
have driven over $4,000 safe,
accident-free miles in the
last nine years. My wife, on
the other hand, is a relatively
inexperienced driver. How
ever, while I'm driving she is
constantly slamming on
imaginary brakes and sud-
denly shouts warnings such
as, Watch out" BE care
full" etc. I have come very
close to having accidents due
to her comments and actions.

What do you do when
teen-agers get out of hand?
For instance, consider the
case of May.
May rarely gave her par
entS any trouble. She always
seemed to do the right thing.
She took good care Of her
younger brother and chose
her own activities so well
that her parents never felt
the need to be strict with
her.
AS a result, through the
first year Of high school,
they hardly ever disciplined
her. Then, when summer ac-
tivtties started, she began to
return from parties at l and
2 am, and her parents felt
that something had to be
done.
You will be in by IL
o'clock" they told her. You
must keep us informed where
and with whom you are, and
what you plan to do"

STOP
KILLING
YOURSELF
By Dr.. Peter J. Steincrohn

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: A
year ago my thyroid became
overactive. I took pills for
a while but that didn't help
much. At first my doctor
thought I'd better have an
operation. Then he changed
his mind and said 1t would
be better to knock 1t out
with radioiodine. Two small
doses did the trick. But the
way some of my friends act
you'd think 1t couldn't have
been anything but cancer.
My doctor said 1t was not. I
feel like a leprosy victim
whenever I visit friends.
There's one I'm sure is afraid
that her children will catch
something from me. Will you
please set the record straight
so I can show them your
column?-Mrs. s.
HEAR YE, friends and
neighborsi of Mrs. s. Moth
ing's catching in her all
ment as far as I can de-
termine from her story. Ra-
dioactive iodine Is especially
good for patients who have
a diffuse toxic goiter. In
many cases, as in that Of
Mrs. s., it saves them from
operation and does the job.
So welcome her back to the
fold.
Treatment of hyperthy-
roidism varies. If the trouble
is what we call a toxic
adenoma dump in the thy
roid with overactivity) most
doctors believe that the ideal
treatment is surgery. II q
case is mild diffuse toxic
goiter, often the thiouracil
drugs are effective.
Whenever there is a ques-
ton of procedure in treat
ment of a Imperative thy
roid, 1t is better to have a
consultation between surgeon
and medical man.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: MY
daughter was hypnotized at
a party. For three days after
ward, her eyes looked dazed
and she complained of being

notism the cause?-Mrs. o.

tible persons reacting alb
normally when subjecting
themselves to the hypnotic
state. Especially when they
were silly enough to put
themselves in the hands of

let anyone at a party fool

In the back with his hands.
He says his head went back
and his neck hurt at the
time, then the pain went
away. A couple Of weeks later
his neck started hurting
again and he is suffering. I
tell him 1t is because Of the
whiplash. He says no. What
do you think?-Mr. d.
I BELIEVE he should have

over these last 20 years.
Somebody would have tagged
him as q drifter or q hobo.
That wouldn't do.
So, you see, the retire. Of
the 1960s has been badly in
hibited. The $4,000, tax free,
would about take care of
things for him. And It won't
be a recurring expense, be-
cause in another 20 years,
the way things are going,
there will be so much built
in security for mankind that
a fellow could take off any
day for q California gold
rush and still get his three

Americans, Everywhere.


Dear Sirs:
This letter is an appeal to
you to loosen the reins a
little and start giving
the men of this country a
chance for q fling and q bit
of foolishness as they come
up to age IS and retirement.
1t would cost only about
$4,000 for each man. Tax
free Of course. And either So
cial security or the place
where the man has been
working could supply It. The
man wouldn't care which.
My appeal is a timely one,
because the men coming up
for retirement in the 1960s
are very much short on ad-
venture, and on the kind of
fun that man has found
needful since civilization
came. In fact, the 65-year-
old man of. the 1905 is the
most inhibited man who ever
walked the earth.
Could he, over these last
20 years Of his mature life,
have packed up his wife and
kids and kettles and trekked
over the Appalachians to col
onize Indiana farms? Ha! II
gold had been discovered in
California in, say, 1852, could
he have afforded to tell his
corporation 80 long" and
have gone? Ha!

ment, as stated, very much
short on the kind of adven-
ture mankind has found
needful.
The heaviest C hahn that
has held him has been his
pension. Along about IS or
so, when dreams of adven-
ture were running high, he
was 10 or is years into the
pension system of his COM
pany. If he could Just hold
on to IS he would get $167 O
m onth for life. Only fools
and Migrants would have
chucked that for the gamble
Of farms and gold.

product on the assembly line,
instead Of squirting grease
in the crankshaft. Better It
would be never, to see the
maidens Of the South Seas
than to go back to being a
grease monkey or to
surrender a vice presidency
at the bank. So another
chain trapped the retire. Of
the 1960s.
Then there was the fear
ful matter of health insur-
ance, with the itemized list
ing Of all the things that
could happen to him. With
the company he had it, over
these later years. Could he
transfer it to California, or
the beaches of Florida, or the
oil fields in Arabia II he
packed up and went? He
didn't know, It seemed pru-
dent not to gamble.
The house on the 50-foot
lot, which became quite the
thing to have after World
War II, was the fourth chain
holding the man to where
and what he was. There was
the mortgage, of course. But
there was the sense of prop
erty, the sense Of RESPONSE
bility in being a member of
