ANN LANDERS,
Answers Your Problems
Dear Ann Landers: Our neigh
bors have two sons 11 and 12
years of age. Their parents
taught them smoking so they
gave them permission to smoke
plus several packages of cigar
ettes. They said, "If the boys
want to smoke wed rather they
do it in front of us than behind
our backs." They also reasoned
that the kids would probably
tire of smoking and quit of their
own accord.
Well, they aren't getting tired,
and they aren't quitting. It's dis
gusting to see these two smart
alecks puffing away on the
street. And it's creating problems
with our own children. They
think they should be allowed to

A program was then present
ed, beginning with Jim Boatman,

"Czardas." "Little Gray Home in

Fair Maids and their chaperon
were then introduced, and gave
smoke, too. Our son who is 10

get the same deal. Please give
ur some help Disgusted Parents.
Dear Disgusted Parents:
These people have cornflakes
where their brains belong. If
their sons wanted to drink wood
alcohol and carry a gun would
they give them permission to
do it "in front of them rath
er than behind their backs?"
When parents don't know how
(or haven't the' courage) to say
no to their children they are
abdicating their responsibilities
These dunderheads should have
laid down the law, stated the
reasons, then seen to it that
the kids obeyed. Tell your 10-year-old
that he can't smoke
because it's not good for him
and to quit nagging because
the subject is closed for the
next eight years.

Dear Ann: My wife is the only
girl in a family of six brothers.
Her parents are in their 70s and
in poor health. They have a bij;
house and can't keep help be
cause they're hard to ploase. My
wife's brothers say since she's the
only girl it s her duty to move
her family into the folk's house
and care for them or take the
old folks into her home.
Taking them into our home is
out My wife is not a strong
woman and she'd kill herself try
ing to take care of them. None
of the brothers want the parents
in their homes becouse they say
it's a daughter's duty not a
daughter-in-law's. What should
be done. S.O.S.
Dear S.O.S.: According to
the law in most states it's the
children's obligation to care for
aged parents. This means both
sons and daughters. I suggest
a seven-member family pow
wow. Either find a housekeep
er and -or a practical nurse who
will care for the old folks for
a top salary or move them to a
nursing home where they can
get the care they need. All ex
penses should be split seven
ways.
Dear Ann: Our daughter is 19
and a sweet girl. She's been go
ing with a boy 10 months and no
once can figure it out. He has
no manners, dresses like a beat
nik and can't even say "Good
evening. He says "Howdy. He
treats her like dirt and if she's
not dressed and ready, he leaves
and slams the door.
She wants to get married next
month and it's breaking my
heart. She has a wonderful job
and he works when he feels like
it. The girl makes her own
clothes to save money to buy
hings for him.
Thev are ae different n ft:iv

and night. I hate to think of her
throwing her life away on a no
account like this. What can I
do to save her? Day and Night.
Dear D and N: Probably noth
ing and it's a crying shame.
. Some people have to get their
lumps the hard way and your
daughter is one of these unfor
tunates. Say one more thing
as a last shot ask her to talk
to your clergyman.

CALVIN BOGAARD
To Work With Church Here
C. Bogaard Accepts
Church Call Here
Calvin Bogaatd has accepted a
call of the First Baptist Church
of La Grande, as Christian Educa
tion director. He came to La
Grande from the Western Baptist
Seminary at Portland, where he
was a graduate in May. This is his
first appointment.
Bogaard was born in Iowa and
attended grade school there, then
attended high school and college
in California. He is married and his
wife's name is Ellen. They have
a four-month-old daughter. Colleen.
At present they are in the process
of getting settled in (heir home
here.
Duties for the new director will
be organization and heading the
educational program of the church,
including Sunday School, youth
work and visitation. He has been
assisting with the Junior Boys
camp at Camp Elkanah and plans
to work with the Junior High and
Senior boys the last two weeks of
this month.
In answer to future plans Bo
gaard said "There have been some
plans made to appeal not only to
the young persons of the church
but to be of interest to the teen
age population throughout the city.
The youth program of the church
ranges from the Junior age child
on through college. Each age will
have a well rounded program to
suit their own need. For instance.
the high school young folks will be
having their own Youth Center in
operation when School starts this
fall. If will be open at con
venient times for the teenager
and also after ball games. Our
purpose is to provide a program
that will meet both the social and
spiritual needs of the youth."

MINNEAPOLIS (UPI) The
"promising young man" singled
out for special training by his
boss doesn't always line up to the
promise, according to Moorhead
Wright, operator manager of the
General Electric Management
Institute.
Wright said "experience shows
how wrong these arbitrary 'crown
prince theories can be. You just
can't pick a few bright young
men and ignore the rest."
He cited the experience of one
company which dug up its prom
ising young men" list of 10 years
ago. There were 143 names on it
but only 37 per cent .of them
had obtained the success pre
dicted for them.
"There can be no dividing lines
between 'promising young men
who will be developed and "un
promising young men' who should
be ignored," Wright said. "Op
portunity must be available for
everyone who is motivated to ac
cept it and to work for it."

month for further examination.

Soon it will be time to store
all of summer's pleasures. Before
doing this, see that everything is
clean. Dirt, as we all know, has
a way of aiding deterioration and
also attracts moths. Cleaning
things now also means less work
