eQHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. May 3. 1957 The Family Council Editor's not: The family Council consist ot )udf, a psycnlatrllt, tn'ee clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers Eacn article is a summary ol an actual report. The Family Council does not live advice; It merely reports on problem that have been dealt with by responsible afencles and counselors. Victor D. I want my son to go to my college. Peter D. What all the rah rah about? Viclor D. My ion, who is nearly 17, is planning his col lege applications and a serious disagreement has arisen be tween us.' I have looked forward for years to his going to my alma mater. It is one of the best schools in the country and has a particularly godd department in the field he is planning to enter. Besides, I have a strong senti mental attachment to this place. I spent the happiest years of my life there. I am sure he would too. Peter has disappointed me deeply by flatly 6tating he wants no part of this school. I left behind an excellent repu tation and I can't understand his refusal to establish a sort of family tradition by going there. Peter D. My father Insists upon taking it as a personal in tuit that I don't want to go on to his college. I realize it is a good school and I want to please him, but he refuses to recognize that I have my reasons for want ing to choose a different school. I have been away from home, living in boarding schools since I was 14. Most fellows like to get away from home to go to college, but with me it's dif ferent. I could live at home if I went to the school I've chosen. Waist Sizes to 46 9248 1 1 Uj WAIST L ..I - Flattery for the larger figure!

I don't believe in all this family tradition stuff anyway and I've told my father so. What's all the rah-rah about? The Council Peter's casual, matter-of-fact attitude toward something that has strong emo tional content for his father is confusing the issue. Peter should recognize that "family tradition stuff" and "rah-rah" are important to mature persons because they desire assurance of continuity. It is not simple stubbornness that makes his father press his point so strongly but love for the boy who bears his name and the desire for strong and mean ingful ties with him. Peter should give full and serious con sideration to his father's wishes in this matter. ' On 'the- other hand, Victor should recognize that the tie of having his son go on to his college is a rather superficial one, as compared with other fac tors. It is far more important for Peter to go to the college he wants, not only .because his chances of success will be better. He has one strike against him when he is not completely en thusiastic at the start of "his eollege career. Peter gives a very good rea son for not wanting to go to. his father's college. He is not being simply contrary. His desire for a home life should not be thwarted. If Peter lives at home, his father will be even better able to share those college years with him and to strengthen the ties between them. There is so much to be said for letting Peter follow his own inclinations in this matter that Victor should not let a misplaced sentimental ity obstruct the important issue Peter's ultimate happiness.

' On The Side By e. v. Doling (Distributed by King Features Syndicate. Inc.) Do you know who furnished the inspiration for the origin of the canned food industry? It was none other than Napoleon Bonaparte who offered a prize for a method of preserving the food of an army on the march. This inspired a Frenchman named Appert to originate the process of canning. There is a wider variety of prizes being currently offered than ever be fore in the history of the world. However, the majority of win ners benefit only individually. There should be more prizes of fered for ideas, such as food canning, that will benefit the public in general. Husbands Discussing the subject of hus band selection, Elsa Martinelli, highly glamorous Italian actress, said, "Italians are good men to marry. When my father was 50 years old he still brought flowers home to Mama. He still tried to look handsome. He was still jealous of Mama. Isn't that won derful?" Insurance ' . There are about 200,000 life insurance agents in this country. So says a statistician. That fig ure surprises me. I thought there were that many in Brooklyn. How are you getting along with your life insurance agent? Ask him if he knows the song by Frank Crumit titled "Nobody Has Endurance Like The Man Who Sells Insurance.'.' Forgotten Man Everybody knows Mike Todd produced the film titled "Around The World In Eighty Days." Who directed it? Not many can an swer that offhand. It was a bril liant young Englishman named Michael Anderson. He is Holly wood's forgotten man of 1957. That Mike Todd is a very clever fellow, nobody can deny. But he certainly knows how to monop olize the spotlight. When he con trolled the Del Mar race track there were more pictures of him in the papers than the horses. Xt king Queries from clients. Q. What is the origin of the expression "The Real McCoy"? A. The orig inal expression had nothing to do with the fighter "Kid" McCoy as is often claimed. It was not "The Real McCoy" but "The Real Mackay" and was used by Scots in connection with the judgment of the quality of a type of wool. That's the way I heard it. Q. Who was the star of the musical show titled "The En chantress"? A. Kitty Gordon, the statuesque beauty known as "the girl with the beautiful back." She also introduced that touch ing ballad titled "There's A Lit tle Spark of Love Still Burning." Asidet In several announcements as to accommodations available to visitors to Las Vegas, Nev., I note "Divorcees Welcome." Are there places in Las Vegas where divorcees are not welcome? If so, why? . . . In battling for their rights cigar smokers are making some progress. Cigar smoking is now permitted on several airlines. One line even gives away after dinner cigars. However, pipes are still barred. Wild DriYtrt Where can be found the wild est automobile drives in the United States? There is a great difference of opinion as to that. In this connection, it is inter esting to note that not so long ago in Long Beach, Calif., a man was run over by an automobile while he was having a pair of shoes tried in a shoe store! The wildly driven car came crashing through the wall of the shop. . POOCH STOPS POUCH Mobile, Ala.
