Kenny's father aoesn t trust him. Mrs. R. s. There's something wrong with that man. .Theresa S. I am 16 and I have a boy friend a year older Our problem is Kenny's father, who is much too strict with him. My own parents like Ken ny and have no objection to my going with him, but ; Kenny's father doesn't think he ought to be going steady at all. Kenny and I go out once or, at most, twice a week. We like to talk on the telephone every day, but he has to sneak out to call me. We always come home at a reasonable hour and we aren't wild like some kids. We are both planning to go to college, so we don't talk about engagement or marriage. Just the same, Kenny's father seems to think that he's gofng to get ideas about marriage if he keeps seeing me. When we go out, he calls my home sometimes twice in an evening to see if we are back yet. How can we make him trust Kenny? ' Mrs. R. S. I would' like to talk to Kennny'e father to straighten him out a bit, but ' my husband says it wouldn't be a good idea for me to "mix in." I don't see how my talking to him can be considered inter ference. After all, I am just as concerned about my daughter as he is about his son. 1 1 feel there is really some thing with this man, psychologi cally. Surely he wants his boy to enjoy a normal life for a 17-year-old. The kids are as nice and well-behaved together as anyone could possibly ask. Ken ny is a lovely boy and we don't worry about Terry when. she is out with him. My husband says it would look as though we are pushing the kids together if 1 spoke up for them. Nothing could be further from my mincL The Council: Mrs. It. S. ought to listen to her husband.

Mrs. R. S. is wrong to assume there is "something wrong" with Kenny's father and that he needs to be "straightened out." The mere fact that he has raised such a . fine young man is an indication " that he knows how to do a good job as a father. Because of his deeper knowl edge of Kenny or because of some personal or family experi ence, he may have very good reason to oppose the boy's steady dating. He has as much right to his position as Mrs. R. S. has to hers.' If he is wrong, or if his attitudes need to be modified, the problem should be wrestled out within his own family circle. Mrs. R.- S. would do better to encourage her daughter to date other boys. It is understand able that she likes Terry to date a boy she already knows and ap proves, but it is highly probable Terry will find other nice boys. (Copyright 1957, General Features Corp.) 8!
