Newspaper Page TextAs We Live By ELIZABETH HURLOCK. PH.D. Boys Should Be Punished For Their Petty Thievery A person who finds it easy to "get away" with taking of min or articles from shops may eas ily get to the point of taking more valuable articles. A J A fL 1 have taken from the stores. I think it would be wise, in addition, for the parents to agree that every boy must go to the owners of the stores and apolo gize for his wrongdoing and, if the store owners wish, they can then tell the boys how they (Q) "I have : feel about their behavior. Getting a serious prob-! opinions from strangers often about. My son. who is a Jun ior in high school, has been reported lo the principal Dr. Hurlocle of his school by several of the local mer chants for faking things from stores, such as records, candy bars, pencils and pens. etc. He was one of a group of 11 boys, all from fairly comfortable home. We, as parents, have paid the stores for their thefts but some of the fathers feel this is letting the boys off too easily and that it will not keep- them from stealing more things. Our son has been so frightened and shocked by the experience I feel he has learned his lesson. He tells us he knew he was doing wrong but could not stand out when all his friends said he was a 'chicken.' How would you sug gest we deal with this problem?" C.W. (A) As far as your son is con cerned, I think he may have had a lesson that will long be remembered and will deter him from future thefts, provided he is with a group of boys who do not believe a person is a "chick en" when he refuses to steal. . However, your major prob lem, it seems to me, is to help your son develop better values in the selection of his friends and associates. In other words, try to show him friends who get pleasure from wrongdoing are not the type he can enjoy being with. Ask for Meeting I think it would be wise to ask the principal of the school to call a meeting of the parents whose sons were involved in these thefts and, as a group, de cide what penalty, you, as par ents, will put on the boys. I think the fathers, perhaps more than the mothers, will require the boys to earn money, in after achool jobs, to pay for all they lem I would '. does more good than lectures like to have and scoldings from parents and your opinion teachers. (Copyright 1956. General Features Corp.) Flood Insurance Plan Heading (or Senate Washington (U.PJ A fed eral flood insurance program is headed for the Senate floor for the first time in history. The Senate Banking Commit tee approved the 55,000,000 program Thursday as a com promise between plans proposed by President Eisenhower and Democrats. Tentative estimates show home owners taking part in the pro gram would pay $2 to $10 for each $1,000 of insurance. The program would put the government in both the insur ance and the re-insurance bus iness, selling insurance directly to property owners and reinsur ing private insurance. The government would pay 60 per cent of the cost of the program, the property owner 40 per cent. Senate Dresses Up Foreign Service Washington (U.R) The Senate yesterday passed and sent to the House a bill designed to make the foreign service a more attractive career. it would increase the present seven classes of foreign service officers to nine. In the change over, the 2553 persons affected would get an average pay in crease of $222 a year, or 2.6 per cent. The measure also would raise the pay of 75 chiefs of mission $2500 a year for 19 chiefs of Class I missions and $5000 for the other three classes.

Things like choosing the correct fork and the correct glass in respect to his host. Fernando, son of a Spanish admiral, made it clear he held no grudge against his good friends at Georgetown. His was a generaf observation. Anyhow, the first glass he lifted was a dry martini, with a couple of sloshing white onions. "It was sort of a liquid dyna mite which had a short fuse," he informed the dignified profs of schools like Columbia, Har vard, Yale, Pennsylvania, Cali fornia, Chicago, Michigan, Princeton and others. Short Fuse "It has a very short fuse. By the time the first exploded and I had a couple of others, the rest of the evening was vague. I am told that I sang a great deal in Spanish, but luckily none of my companions understood the language." After a decent period of re covery, Fernando had another short bout with "something they call here a 'Manhattan . ' "I am convinced," the senior at Georgetown wrote, "that we ought to warn all foreign stu dents entering American insti tutions of higher learnings about the pitfalls of the so-called cock tail circuit." Fernando went on to say that they can have "a demoralizing effect on many students new to your great country." Visiting students, bent oh learning some thing, he said, want to conform "but they do not have the ex perience with hard liquor which your own students apparently have." A Little Plug Then, as an unappointed am bassador, the - young man from Spain got in a little plug. Said he: "There is wine," he said. "A good Spanish sherry stimulates the appetite instead of smother ing it with alcohol, and there are sherries to fit every occasion. Also there is' enough alcoholic content to give the feeling of benevolence and releasa one seeks. Fernando, a handsome young man, told me about a custom popular in both Britain and Spain. At around 11 o'clock there k a pre-lunch break for sherry "to build up a strapping appetite." "There is," Fernando assured me, "no chance of a hangover if you eat right." He also said there is an old superstitition. among Spaniards that to spill a drink on the table cloth is not a faux pas but a good omen. "Cuffing over a drink calls j for a "Thank you' from your ) host," he allowed. Try it in any fancy restaurant around these acres and you get I a practiced stare.
