Child With Limited
Vocabulary Said
Lacking Popularity
Carbondale, HL (U.FD The
old saying that "children should
be teen and not heard" is all
wrong, according to Dr. John
Pruis, director of training for
speech teachers at Southern Illi
nois University.
The silent type, young or old,
Is a misfit in today's , world,"
Pruis said., ' ,
"Free expression" helps clari
fy thinking, and a child with a
large' vocabularly usually leads
his group of playmates, he said.
On the other hand, a child who
has a limited word knowledge
seldom is ; popular with other
youngsters.
Professor's Theory
The professor also has
theory on why children ask so
many questions:
"They ask incessant questions
not so much for information as
to hear parents talk so they can
copy them.
"This method, annoying as it
may be, should be encouraged
not curbed. It helps the child
master the ' basic tool of com
municationthe spoken word.
If he can't use this tool by the
time he enters school, he is in
for a Tough time learning to
read,. -write ; and listen. -
The speech specialist said the
child who ..; can speak- many
words when he starts to learn
to read will have little trouble
tying the printed symbol to the
word in his mind. .
Should Have Opportunity -
After the child learns to read,
he should be given plenty of op
portunity -4o read aloud at all
age .levels, Pruis said. He noted
that adolescents who have poor
diction and - unpleasant voices
probably also are poor spellers
and writers , ; because they've
had too little supervised practice
in reading and speaking to peo
ple. - -
"Having you listened to them
- talk?" - he asked. "They say
Jeetyet, yugonna gessome chow
: now?' and you are supposed to
-know they are asking 'Did you
eat yet? Are you going to get
some chow, now?' "
Pruis answer for the above is
a regular, systematic program to
help children at all grade levels
to use language effectively with
snecial heln for the five to 10
ner cent who have clinical
speech troubles.

STEPFATHER INSANELY
JEALOUS OF STEPSON
Most stepparent-stepchild re-
lationships work out very well.
In some cases, however, the sit
uation is miserable for everyone
concerned. A mother writes:
Q. "My husband was killed
whan my son was 'four years
old. Two years later. I mar
ried , again and everything,
went fine at first. I was very
happy and I liked my son to
have a father. But my hus
band is insanely jealous of the
boy. He treats him as fairy
tale stepparents . treat chil
dren. I try to makeup to the
boy for the love hit father .
dofvviXS-ttfn.r
my huirbafid accuses m of .
loving the boy more v than I
love - him. He never. , takes
the boy anywhere, does noth
ing for -or with him. This
hurts my son's feelings as he
sees all his friends' fathers
doing things with their sons.
The boy knows his father does
not like him and this is mak
ing a lot of friction- in the
home. Have you any sugges-,
'xions about how I can make;
things better for all of us?"
(A) I am afraid that nothing
you could say
or do would
make - your
husband real
ize that your
main interest
in getting him
to teeat your
son better is
to have a hap
py home. 'He
or. nuriocx would con.-
tinue to think that you are put
ting your son's interests ahead
of his. r-.v - -- '- 'f-
However," an outsider might
be able to present things to him
in a way that .would force him to
see for himself how unfair he is
to you, the boy, and himself by
allowing his jealousy to inter
fere with the happiness of your
marriage.
If you are on friendly terms
with his mother, why not dis
cuss, this problem with her?
The next suggestion would be
to ask the principal of ybur son's
school, his teacher, or your min
ister to talk to your husband.
They could stress the effect
home friction has on the child's
work;- his personality, and his
relationships with other people.

dian and wound up on the most
talkedabout - show of "ho m e
screens.
"This is the nicest job I've ever
had," chattered Jeff today.
"Nothing so good ever happened
to .me in pictures. "I'm happy to
leave' it this way. George is the
big star and that's that." .
Met Two Years Ago .
Jeff met , Gobel nearly two
years ago when they were in
separate skits on TV's "Satur
day Night Revue." Jeff, famous
around Hollywood lor her infec
tious laugh, "just sat watching
him and nearly died laughing."
; "Later I saw him in the hall
and said I thought he was 'the
greatest;, He said things . but
kept on walking. He's very
shy," she added.
After Gobel won his own NBC
show, he remembered Jeff and
asked her to play his wife on the
Oct. 2 program. But Jeff was
getting married Sept. 20, and
bridegroom Aldo Ray refused to
postpone ' the ceremony, an
nouncing "either you " marry
George or me." "
"I felt Aldo was steadier so
I chose him," quipped Jeff. "I
was heartsick to lose the job,
but later they called me for four
shows, and I'm signed now for
four -more." y-'- ;,' -"
On the program Jeff takes the
name of Gobel's real wife, Alice,
who is : backstage during :. the
show but, Jeff said, "she never
makes" any suggestions to me."
Jeff .and George's TV children
hevetthe same namesas the real
Gobel children, and the set of
their, living room is similar to
the comedian's actual San ' Fer
nando Valley house.
Felt Like Bigamist
'In-fact, when I went to New
York to play a wife on a Steel
Hour show I felt like , a biga
mist," Jeff laughed. . .
- During' - our interview her
agent called her with her third
recent offer to star in her own
husband-wife series, but she pre
fers to stay with Gobel.
"It" doesn't seem like- work
ing," she said. "Everybody con:
nected with the show enjoys it
so much. When George1 has his
back 'to the camera for exam
ple, he winks at me, just as if
we were really married and hav
ing a heckuva good time. ; "
. "How many people are happy
at their jobs? The weeks I'm
not working on the show I go
crazy." ' ' -

asked was, "Would you marry a
woman you knew to be a bad
cook?" That's a foolish question.
What has cooking : to do with
love? For example, suppose you
were in love with a girl who
looked like Joan Caulfield and
she said, "Of course, I'll marry
you, darling, but I'm a terrible
cook." Would you start looking
around for another girl? The
things that make marriage last
ing are not taught in cooking
schools.
