Jack D. Bea isn't doing
right by her father.
Beatiic D. , I couldn't
wound my mother.
Jck D. My wife and I
re having quite a dispute
over her parents.
Her mother and father were
divorced some ten years ago
and haven't seen each other
since. Her father remarried,
but is now separated from his
second wife. He isn't a well
man and lives quite far from
us. He has written that he
would like to come to see us
some holiday. That's the only
time he can get away from
his business.
My wife invites her mother
k . for every holiday. That's okay
with me, except I don't think
it s fair to leave out the old
man all the time. I tell Bea
she is not doing right by her
father, but she says her moth
er comes first.
Beatrice D. My mother
has always spent every holi
day with us and she would
be wounded terribly if I told
her I wanted to invite my
father instead. I wouldn't even
dare suggest such a thing.
The truth is I would like
to see my father and I've told
him I'd be glad to have him
any time but not on a holi
day. He says the holiday is
the only time he can make it.
Well, if he can't arrange some
thing for himself in order to
see his own daughter and
grandchildren, I don't know
what I'm supposed to do about
it.
I don't see why Jack should I
interfere in this business, any
way. They're not his parents.
I have a right to do as I like
about them.
The Council Beatrice
should not resent her hus
band's "interference." His con
cern reflects his interest in
his entire family. Possibly he
would like his children to
know their grandfather. Per
haps, as a man, he can't help
identifying with another man.
It bothers him that a child's
loyalty can be dedicated ex
clusively to one parent.
It is also possible that Jack
sympathizes with Beatrice's
own definite desire to see her
father. According to her own
account, it is really fear of
her mother that prevents her
from arranging this.
Beatrice must accept the
fact that divorce necessarily
entails hurt feelings. The old
wounds open easily usually
on both sides. Out of fear of
hurting her mother, Beatrice
continues to hurt her father.
The only answer we can
see is for Beatrice to follow
her own heart. She should be
willing to accept her father's
word that he can only make
the visit on a holiday. She
should tell her mother hon
estly that she wishes to see
her father on some particular
occasion. '
It is possible that Beatrice's
mother would not be quite as
wounded as she believes. But
even if the wound does go
deep, Beatrice should recog
nize that she has. a right to
follow her own impulses in
such an important matter.

. Marine Sentenced
To Herd Labor
Yokosuka, Japan (TO Ma
rine Sgt. Adrian A. McLane,
Philadelphia, has been sen
tenced of two years confine
ment at hard labor for cruelty
to prisoners at the Sasebo Na
val Base brig.
The husky, 6-foot, 200
pound former assistant brig
warden also was sentenced
to forfeiture of all pay and
allowances for the confine
Inent period, reduction to the
rank of private and dishonor
able discharge from the
service.
The defense apparently was
shocked at the severity of the
sentence. The defense had
anticipated at the worst a
bad conduct discharge, not a
dishonorable discharge.
DRUNKS AMAZE CHIEF
Knoxville, Tenn. (IP) The
police chief of Bandung, Indo- j
nesia. expressed surprise here j
Tuesday at the number of
Americans who are arrested
for drunkenness. The chief,
Lt. Col. Soelaman Djajoes
man, said there has never
been an arrest for drunken
driving in Indonesia because
people there "don't drink
enough alcohol to get drunk."
SINGING CYCLIST FREED
Oxford, England (IP) Sal
vation Army bandsman Brian
Clack, 23, went free without
sentence today although he
admitted driving his bicycle
dangerously last Dec. 9. Po
lice charged Clack with play
ing "Hark the Herald Angels
Sing" on his trumpet instead
of steering his bike.
