IIOHT MTOFORD (OMOOK) MAIL THIBT7KB Thursday, May 19. 1955 !g j? "Vim jpi 1 i JJ , - IT p" STILL AT IT Former Prime Minister Sir Winston Church ill emphasizes a point as he opens his Parliamentary re-election campaign in his constituency at Woodford, England. The 80-year-old statesman traded verbal brick bats with Labor Leader Attlee, charging that Attlee was "piebald" because he had to shift from right to left to accommodate different party factions. Attlee retorted that Sir Winston was "a bit of a chameleon." The Conserva tives, several polls report, will double their Parliamentary margin in the May 26 general elections. A Nkhol's Worth of . . Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Pnm FJtr Writer Washington U.R) Young Billy Kelley of Missouri is a pos sible winner in the national spelling bee here. And if the 12 -year - old from Kennett, Mo., does win, the way he looks at it he will walk into the winner's circle with the help of a stony bead strung on a safety pin. All of the preambles happened In Memphis. The Press-Scimitar Is among Scripps-Howard news papers which annually sponsor the big spell-down. The finals re held here. Bill already has outspelled his m Human Nichols Ashland Sisters Make Dog Protectors Mrs. Oma Warke, 585 East Main st., Ashland, and her sister, Mrs. Stella Reed, Portland, an nounced today that they recently began the manufacture and sales of dog hair protectors of nylon and plastic materials. They have received several orders from pet shops and while Mrs. Warke con tinues the manufacture of " the items in Ashland, Mrs. Reed will make sales contacts. One item is a nylon jacket for dogs, which zips down the backs of 'the animals and which com pletely covers the dog's body. The other item is a lap pro tector for use in automobiles. It is made of fireproof plastic. It is made so that it will fit any car and is attached to either the back or front seat by tape and snaps, and can be folded or re moved when not in use. HERE'S PROOF Indianapolis (U.R) Clay Trusty, city editor of the Indian apolis News, dashed outdoors into a midnight hailstorm, scooped up a handful of hail stones and put them on ice in a home freezer. Next day he published a photo proving the hailstones were as big as golf balls.

After he won there, he was whisked into a taxicab with a nice guy named J. Z. Howard, managing editor of the Press-Scimitar, as his guide. Idea was to put the lad on television. Good Luck Charm Also in the cab were Bill's mother, Mrs. Paul Kelley, and his grandmother, Mrs. H. B. Kel ley, both of Kennett and both good spellers. , Anyhow, the conversation in the back seat got around how to spell this and that and the driver of the cab couldn't but flap his ears and hear what was going on. "You the new mid-South spell ing champ?" asked hackie Ben nie Aronwald. "Well, you can't miss, laddie, if you take this little good luck token." Cabbie Bennie fished around in his pocket and came up with that .stony bead fastened to a safety pin. "Here," said Bennie, "have this, and you'll be sure to win. It comes from the tomb of David in Palestine. My uncle is a rabbi in Jerusalem. He is 93 years old. He sent me some of these. I have carried one since I was 23 years old. I have had nothing but good luck. Like the time I bet on well. Don't let this get away from you. And incidentally, the safety pin is for safety first." Second Last Year Bill came here last year from Missouri and wound up second when he forgot how to spell "uncinate." All in all, in picking up $350 in bonds and $375 in cash in a "long career" as a speller of about three years, Bill wonders if there isn't something of a fu ture in becoming a professional speller. "I've got it all in the bank," he said. "And not only that, just by studying words and reading you get the hang of how to make money." The 12-year-old has some sage advice to kids who hanker to take up spelling correctly as a career: "The best way to spell is to read widely," he said, wearing a wise eye and looking at a man who can't spell "mouse" without adding an extra "s." "If you study words while you read, you can see them in your mind while you spell." GOOD 93 mm WAYS! ENP!

They made the statement in announcing a rigid crackdown against teen-aged hoodlums af ter 21 youths seized at the scene of a scheduled gang fight were released from custody "because witnesses were afraid to testify against them." , Six of the youths had been charged with carrying conceal ed weapons but were released because Recorder's Judge John P. Scallen said he did not have enough evidence against them. Police said they found home made bombs, pieces of chain, cutting tools, straight razors at tached to broom handles and other improved weapons on the youths when they were arrest ed. "We asked several witnesses to come to court. They wouldn't come. These gangs of kids have them terrorized," police Sgt. Walter Majewski said. Majewski said the gang battle was scheduled between 200 youths and climaxed a series of skirmishes between high school pupils and a street gang. The battle would have been "the biggest gang fight in De troit's history," if it developed, police said. Police Commissioner Edward S. Piggins ordered his top aides to instruct officers to use "what ever force necessary" to quell the uprisings caused by the youths. Majewski said a son of a po liceman was threatened over the phone after the arrests of those who planned - the latest gang fight. "These toughs work through the children of parents who dare to take action against them," he said. "They rule their neighbor hood with a reign of terror." Sons of Stern Fathers Likely To React Visually To Stress By DEL08 SMITH United Press Science Editor New York (U.R) Here is some new scientific ammunition for use in the never-ending argu ments on how to bring up chil dren: Two psychologists have ex perimental evidence that the sons of stern fathers are likely to grow up into men who- react to stress with out-going anger, while the sons of mild fathers are inclined to turn stress-produced anger inwardly upon themselves. Stanley H. King and Andrew F. f Henry experimented with Harvard boys. First, they found who had been the discipinarians in their homes, father or mother or both, and whether the discip line had been stern or mild. Then they put the boys under experimental stress, and meas ured their reacting anger by the reaction upon their hearts and vascular systems. Those who reacted outwardly were easy to spot, of course. But people who try to hide their anger and may suffer from anxiety, as the re sult, are hard. There is evidence that one kind of cardiovascular reaction goes with out going response to stress, such as anger, and an other kind goes with a turning inward, accompanied by brood ing and covered-over anger. This evidence is not conclusive, but it is suggestive. At any rate, King and Henry used this meth od to measure the responses to stress at Harvard. The young men were asked whether father or mother had dominated their childhood dis cipline. Those who felt that both parents had been strict discipli narians, unvaryingly put father down as the dominant.' When either father or mother was strict and the other was mild, most put father down as domi nant but some gave the nod to mother. But when both father and mother were considered byf their male offspring to have been mild something like four-fifths of the boys said mother had been the dominant. The scientists were unable to draw even tentative conclusions as to how the sons of strict moth ers but mild fathers react to stress their evidence was too variable to be workable statisti cally. This question, they said, needed further exploration. Indeed, the whole matter needs extensive research, they said. They felt that their results raised questions, such as: Does the control father exercised in childhood still operate in the boy after he becomes a man? Does the way the boy understands control and discipline truly re flect the amount of control and discipline his parents exercise? Do out-going and inward-turning reactions to stress become habits rather than unchangeable emo tional mechanisms? v In their report to the Ameri can Psychological Association, they granted the "limitations" of their studies, and dwelt es pecially on the difficulty of ac curately measuring reactions to stress and the fact that the boys themselves decided whether one or another or both parents were strict or mild. They would like to see the same kind of study made of a group of young women. They wondered if the same results would be gotten from girls.
