DEAR ABBY: I am about
to become a father for the
first time. A friend of mine
told me that he was present
in the delivery room when
his wife gave birth to their
child. I would like to witness
the birth of our child, also,
and my wife is all for it.
Our problem is that we are
now having trouble with her
doctor. He tells us that he
does not allow fathers in the
delivery room. I have asked
my wife to change to a
doctor who will permit 1t,
but she is afraid to change
doctors now as she is in her
eighth month. Does her doc:
tor have the right to deny me
the privilege of seeing my
child born?
FATHER TO-BE.
The decision is up to your
doctor and the hospital
pOlicy-makers. You should
have taken this into con-
SideratiOn when your wife Sc
lected her doctor. Having
failed to do this, be content.
Stop worrying. Write to
Abby in care OF The EUening
Star. For a personal reply
incloSe a self addressed,
stamped envelope.

Tail Gives Tip-Off

According to German SCI
entists, if you can geS close
enough to bees to notice how
fast their tails are wagging.
you will know how close they
are to honey. The scientists
have shown automatically
that the bees tail-wagging
dance is faster and more
furious when they are short
distances from the honey.

DEAR ABBY

DEAR ABBY: In your
column you had a letter
from a writer who called her
neighbor Mrs, Thatchroof.'
My hobby is collecting I'M
usual surnameS, and Thatch-
roof is one I've never heard
of. Was that really the
neighbor's name? Or did you
make it up? I have in my
collection such names
as Beaglehole, Blackmonster,
Endfinger, Beakiron, Easter
day, Rakestraw, TwelvetreeS,
SourWine and Cakebread.

The writer referred to her
neighbOr as Mrs. Thatch-
roof" in an effort to keep
her neighbOr anonymous.

University Of Southern California
Three million A erican
citizens age rs or more can't
read or write. About five mil
lion more read below sixth
grade level.
This illiteracy often results
in chronic unemployment and
dependency. This tragedy is
passed on from parents to
their children; early school
drop-outs usually have par
ents who also left school
early.
The problem of illiteracy
must be attacked by keeping
children in school longer and
at the same time helping
adults learn to read and
write. Both educational APP
proacheS are necessary to
break this disastrous chain.
But this problem is not
easily solved. Here are some
Of the things which make
difficult the elimination of
adult illiteracy through for
NAL classes:
D Adults hesitate to join a
reading group. Being Hitter
ate. the adult is afraid Of
making mistakes. afraid of
being laughed at by fellow
students or rebuked by the
teacher. (These things seldom
happen, of course)
. They think they are too
old to learn. Wrong again.
In many cases adults actual
ly learn faster than chill
dren0 The adult must be
convinced quickly that he
can succeed or he will quit
trying.
. These adults have avoid
ed school because it repre-
sentS failure to them.
. They accept their inability
to read and write. The drive
present in young children is
gone.
A program Of individual
instruction either in the home
OF an illiterate or in a teach
er's home is best suited to
overcoming these obstacles
In teaching the adult.
One such program already
In operation is that Of the
Baylor University Literacy
Center. Waco, Tex. It spon-
sors literacy workshops from
which individuals 60 out
with the motto leach one
teach one" They furnish ma
terials used by volunteer
teachers, as well as some in
structions for getting started.
Except IN rare cases of read
ing blocks. amateurs can be
successful in teaching adults
TO read.
. Adults have already
formed strong associations
between the spoken word and
the object or action. This is
called reading readiness.
Much time is consumed de-
veloping this IN young chill
dren prior to actual reading
instruction The adult is al
ready prepared in this area.
. Adults have a much wider
range of experience and UNI
derstanding than children
The child must be made to
understand a situation as
well as words describing the
situation The adult needs
only TO match up the printed
with the spoken word
. Adults are better able to
exert self-discipline IN APP
preaching the problem.
. Adults can deal better
with abstract ideas and sym.
bols than children, and can
approach reading from a di.
