Newton J. I can't figure out what's wrong with my parents. They don't know a good thing when they have it namely me. I don't want to brag, but I have to say it. I am really a model kid. I'm 17 and I've never given my folks any trouble. I've always done well in school, I get along with everyone and I'm quite co operative at home. Even my mother has to admit that I'm neat and I never throw things around. What have they got against me? Only this. I'm going steady with a real nice girl. They admit she's nice, but they complain that she has too much influence over me. Now if she were a bad influ ence, I could understand, but she happens to be a really swell girl. She makes me save my money. She tells me to study harder and to go out for school awards. What can be wrong with that? Portland Livestock Portland (VP.) Cattle for week 2200.

His girl isn't a bad sort, either, but we do feel that she has entire ly too much influence over Newton. I heard Barbara bawling Newton out one day about not having done his algebra home work and I was really shocked. She gave it to him good and proper. What was worse was the way Newton took it. He acted like a little boy who knew he deserved a spanking. That's not too bad, I sup pose. It was all in a good cause. But Barbara has just as much control in other ways. Newton had picked a particu lar college that emphasized engineering. Barbara decided that engineering was not a good career for him. She has made him change his mind about his vocation and has picked two other colleges for him to apply to. He didn't even consult us about this. The Council Researchers tell us that this is a common current Droblem. Young men who date steady tend to fall right out of Mama's arms into the arms of a young lady fully prepared to become his manager. It does not seem to be a very happy situation. The young men eniov the security of Hav ing a steady girl and of being cared for. but this early do mestication must take its toll. The boy never learns inde pendence, nor the joy of find ing his power and range in thought and feeling. The girl is similarly tied down by her role of mother-substitute and eeneral boss. Both are likely to feel rather bitter about lost opportunities in later years. The onlv wav we can see out of this situation is for the J.'s to explain to Newton that they are less interested in his being a "model kid" than they are 'in seeing him dis cover his own individuality anrl rotentiality. They should show him that they can take minor slip-ups and misbehav ior on his rart in stride, but they take a very dim view of perfect behavior under a dic tatorship. Tt will not do to Oppose Barbara's edicts on general principle. These parents should instead, insist that Newton investigate different possibilities before arriving at decision on any mauer.
