SIX MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday. October 9, 1935 The Family Council Editor' note: Th Family Council consists or a Jadfe. a psychiatrist, thr clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers, tarb article Is a summary of an actual report The r'amily Council does nol five advice; It merely reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors J.R. My wife won't accept our daughter's limitations. Mil. J.R. She has never shown what she can do. J.R. We have a 14-ycar-old daughter who Is not very bright in school. She haj had tests which show she has average in telligence but is on the slow side. She has had reading prob lems in the past but has man aged to overcome them. Laura's teachers have recom mended that she go to a com mercial high school where she can learn business skills. But my wife refuses to accept her lim itations and wants her to go to a regular high school and then to college. My wife's sisters' chil dren are all very bright in school and I think she can't stand having Laura amount to less in life. She is trying to push the girl beyond her abilities and it is heartbreaking to see her struggle. My wife has talked down commercial school so much that now Laura doesn't want to go either. Mrs. J.R. Both my husband and the teachers were too ready to accept Laura's "limitations" from the start. She was not well as a young child and had to stay out of school a lot. As a result, she began to have reading prob lems and this made her so un happy in school she could not learn very well. i know Laura better than her father and teachers do and I know she is capable of more than she has ever shown. Sbe is really bright, but has been too frightened and unhappy in school to show what she can do on the I.Q. tests. It's true it hurts me to see Laura amount to less than her cousins, but I WEDNESDAY SPECIAL ALL Bedroom Furniture 10 OFF Open Wednesday 'till 9 P.M. Swartz Furniture & Maple Shop 1213 N. RIVERSIDE would be willing to accept it if I felt there was a real reason for it. The Council Both husband and wife go wrong in assuming Laura must "amount to less in life" if she goes to a commercial high school. They both take this for granted. J.R. is willing to ac cept it and his wife will not They are making their lives and Laura's difficult and unhappy by this false and foolish attitude If Mrs. J.R. is right, and she may very well be so, that Laura is "capable of much more than she has ever shown, commer cial high school will not hold her back. She is much more likely to be held back by the perpetu ation of the old school situation that made her so unhappy. Her teachers are probably good judges of which school would be best for Laura. In reaction to what he sees as his wife's "pushing" of Laura J.R. may be too accepting of his daughter's dullness. School may indicate an individual's capabil itics, but it certainly does not give the final word on his poten tialities. There are great opportunities in tne commercial world today for young women with business skills. These parents should learn more about these oppor tunities and discuss them enthu siastically with Laura. There is certainly no stimga on a career in the commercial world. When Laura sees she can master some skills and not always trail at the end of her class, she'll be able to rise to her fullest potentiali ties. (Copyright 1956. General Fea tures Corp.)

Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Hollywood (U.R) Hollywood has a new Hungarian beauty that surprised the town by not murdering the English lan guage or being a curvaceous blonde. Eva Bartok is the first act ress from Bud apest to find s t a r d om on the American Aline Mojby screen since Zsa Zsa Gabor. In Hollywood, Eva also found people expecting her to murder the English lan guage like Hungarian director Michael Curtiz or throw around some "dahlinks" like Zsa Zsa. Quiet Hungarian But Eva (pronounced Ava) has soft brown hair, big brown eyes, a figure more like Grace Kelly and a face more like Garbo. She's the star of 20 pictures made in Europe, and MGM im ported her to co-star with Dean Martin in "510,000 Bedrooms." "On the set they say I'm the first quiet Hungarian they've met," smiled Eva, who is tall and trim. "The Hungarians who have been in show business well. Gabriel Pascal,. Gpd rest his soul, nobody could speak such bad English. I think many Hun garians in show business encour age the legend about themselves. "Actually every country has different types. You can't make generalizations." j "When 1 went to England, 1 people thought Hungarians were i gloomy. Others get the impres- ! sion of Hungarians from operet tas. Don't people remember that ' Prof. St. George of Hungary won the Nobel Prize for Vitamin C? i We have so much ballet and fine ! opera in Hungary, and our com poser Bartok (no relation). We have less gypsy music than in Spain." j Unfortunately, she says, the j average American chuckles at those jokes about "this Hunga rian would not only sell his mother, he'd deliver her."
