Sidney S. My wife and I ha bcn married ten years and hav two sons, aged 7 and 3 I haven't had too much to do with their upbringing because my job Kept me on the road a lot. Recently I got connected with a new outfit and I've been home enough to see what is go ing on. What a shock! I think we're raising up monsters! My wife has read all the psy chology books and seems to have come to the conclusion that rules and punishment should not ex ist. Anything the kids do wrong is an indication that "something is troubling them." We're sup posed to find out what it is. Often enough, we can't figure it out so nothing is done. There isn't a minute's peace in the house. The kids can inter rupt us any time hcy like. The TV set is their property we have no share in it at all. If this is home sweet home, I'd prefer the road again. j ... Grata S I'm afraid that my husband is not very accustomed to life with children. He used to be away so much that I made every effort to keep the children out of his hair when he did come in. Now the excitement of having their father around so much has gone to the boys' heads. They love him very much and want all of his attention. But I am afraid Sidney will kill that love because of his impatience with them. Every other word is, "Get outta here, or I'll whack you!" I hsven't read all the psy chology books by any means, but I've read enough to know that hitting children doesn't solve anything. Our boys aren't as well behaved as they should be for their age, but they have ! lots of health and energy and I am trying to understand them so I can help them channel their aggressions in a healthy way. It may be hard on us, but they are our first responsibility. ... The Council: The psychology i booKs get more than a fair share ! of blame for difficulties with I children. If children misbehave and their mother has picked up auint- liases trom a psycnoiogy book, it is immediately assumed that the book told the wrong things. Actually, most of the books are helpful, but they need to be digested and tempered to in dividual needs. Greta's under standing of the fact that the children have to get used to having their father around and her fear that his impatience will injure their relationship with him shows that her insight as far as the boys are concerned is sharp enough. However, she leaves out of account a father who must make some adjust ments of his own. It is doubtful whether Greta found any psychology book-that j told her "rules and punishment should not exist." Corporal pun ishment may be denounced, but books on child care emphasize the child's need for authority. Greta is being a bit too am bitious if she thinks she can understand the reasons for everything her boys do. It is only fair to let them know what is right and wrong and to allow them a little privacy, as far as their hidden motives are con cerned. The children may be their main responsibility, but these parents have to live too. They can't do that with monsters in the house. (Copyright 1957.

Schools, highways and public welfare take the lion's share in Governor Tackles Problem of Surplus Goods for Oregon Salem 'l? Possibilities of securing surplus a g r i cultural commodities for Oregon institu tions and welfare clients are be ing investigated. Gov. Robert D. Holmes said Tuesday. The Governor spoke in answer to a letter from Congressman Walter Norblad pointing out that Oregon has not been participat ing in the surplus distribution program. Gov. H o 1 m es said he was "quite concerned last summer that Oregon was not availing it self of these surplus commodi ties, and I made inquiry of the then State Welfare Administra tion as to the reasons. Couldn't Afford Cost "I was bluntly told that the State Public Welfare Commis sion could not afford the cost of the administration and distribu tion of these commodities to those sections of the state where they can be put to good use," the governor said. "It has always made sense to me that we should share in these surpluses, tut I have been in no position until now to argue about the budgets," the Governor con In a separate letter to Public Welfare Administrator Jeanne Jewett the governor asked "what the situation is and whether or not your budget and your pro gram will make it possible to take advantage of the federal program which would make var ious food surpluses available to needy welfare clients." causes of bigger budgets, but the states also hive extended their services into many more fields. To meet rising costs, many state legislatures have voted new taxes. Rhode Island voted a penny increase in its sales tax to cover beer, cigarettes and ole omargarine. Indiana, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Utah boosted gasoline taxes. Indiana and Idaho raised state income taxes, Michigan and Ne braska boosted cigarette taxes, Michigan and Texas raised tui tion at state colleges and Mich igan upped its liquor tax. Iowa lowered its sales tax and states that rejected tax increases in cluded Arizona, California, Con necticut, Illinois, M i n n e sota, Nevada, Ohio and Tennessee.

(International Soundphoto) Asia Flu Blamed For 1,000 Deaths Maybe Jack Had Gibberellin When He Raised Beanstalk Washington 0P There may be a lot of "Jack" in those bean stalks raised on a revolutionary new chemical which already has grown 12-foot cabbages and to matoes the size of footballs. The chemical called Gibberel lin, not only grows foodstuffs bigger, in many cases it grows them faster. "It looks like the biggest thing that's happened to the farmer since DDT, ' one plant researcher said. Derived From Fungus Gibberellin originally was de rived from a fungus found grow ing in the rice fields of Formosa. The rice paddies were dying out because the stalks grew so big they fell over into the water and killed the rice. Giberllin has produced pole beans, 10-foot long lettuce leaves, and cucumbers that double in size in a month. The growing time for celery has been shorten ed three weeks by use of the chemical and tobacco has yield ed 10 per cent more per acre. However, it does not trork on all plants. Dr. Paul C. Marth has been conducting experiments with Gibberellin at the Agriculture Depart ment's giant research plant at Beitsville. Md. Hopes for Four Crops Manufacturers also are testing the product and Abbott Labora tories plans to use it on alfalfa on its N e w Mexico research farm. It hopes to raise four crops annually instead of three with its use. The chemical now costs 510 a gram and S5.000 a pound. Abbott plans to mix one grsm with wa ter for each half acre of alfalfa. "We don't know quite where Gibberellin is going to take us in the food markets," Marsh said. "But there's no question about it. this stuff really peps up plants." Tokyo HP! Officials estimat- ed Tuesday that about 1,000 per-1 sons have died thus far in the influenza epidemic which has been sweeping the Far East since March. Hardest hit was the Philip pines, where the federal health department said 884 have died to date from the flu virus that started its deadly incursion last month. A United Press survey show ed there have been three deaths in Japan, 40 in Honk Kong, 10 in Singapore and .Malaya com bined, 11 in Thailand and 44 in Calcutta, India.
