Boys Should Be Punished
For Their Petty Thievery

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

the store owners wish, they can
then tell the boys how they

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.

can collegians.
When Melendez came here to ,
take a business course at George
town University he vowed he
would follow the American pat
tern. 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.
Forty-six per cent of all autos ;
in the United States are parked j
outdoors overnight.
