TWZLVK MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TBIBUKE Sunday. January 13. 19S7 wma r- 1 The Family Council Editor' not: The Family Council consist or m Judge, a pTehlatrlst. three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women editor and two writer. Earh article. IS a luminary of an artujl report. Tho Tamil Council doea not five advtre: It merely reporta on problem mat have been dealt with by reponslble agenclea and eemnaelor. Mr. J. H. Our daughter should move to the city. Mr. J. R. Iff dangeroui. Mn. J. R. My husband and I are having a serious dispute about our 18-year-old daughter, Eileen. Most of Eileen's friends have gone to college, but we were unable to send her. She ac cepted this quietly because she knows it couldn't be helped. The trouble is that she is now very much alone in our small com munity. She has a job, but it is not one that puts her in touch with any young people. She spends nearly every evening alone in her room or going to the movies with me. I feel this is very bad and I would like to see her get a job in a city about 80 miles from our home. She could live at the Y or in a home with a nice family. My husband doesn't want to see her go. e Mr. J. R. Eileen is our only child and the house would be empty without her. Besides I think it is very dangerous to send such a young girl away from home. You read about all kinds of terrible things happen ing. I have spoken to Eileen about it and she says that although she is lonely, she would hate to leave us. She is a very shy girl and I think she would be lost and bewildered in the city. My wife is in too much of a hurry to get Eileen married off. It will do her no harm to live a quiet life here. Her friends will be coming home from school regularly and she can meet them and go to dances and parties during vacation time. In the summer she can get a job as a camp counselor and she will meet young people there. a Th Council: If Eileen herself doesn't wish to live away from home at this time, she should not be urged to do so. It takes quite a bit of courage and ag gressiveness for a young girl from a small community to make her way socially in the city. As an only child, Eileen may be rather overprotected and it is likely that she would retreat into a shell in the city. A girl can be just as lonely, if not more so, in the city than in a small community. Mr. J. It., however, is being a bit too complacent about Eileen's problem. It is not a question of being in "a hurry to get Eileen married off." What is in ques tion is the possibility of her en joying life at this time. A "quiet life" Is one thing, but being lonely is another and Eileen ad mits she is lonely. When Eileen's friends return from school, she will find herself even lonelier. She may be invited to their par ties, but she will feel left out because she is living a different kind of life. Gradually she will grow away from those old friends. Eileen needs help In finding a social life. She and her parents ought to investigate all the com munity activities to find out if there is one that particularly at tracts young people. They ought to investigate the nearest reli gious center. Nearly all have social activities for young peo ple. There is1 also probably a nearby small college or school that offers evening courses. Ei leen cannot only meet people at such a place but expland her in terests and gain confidence ia herself. (Copyright 1957, General Features Corp.)
