The Family Council
Editor'! noto: The Family Council consists of a judge, a psychiatrist,
three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers.
Eacb article Is a summary of an actual report. The Family Council does
not give advice; it merely reports on problems that have been dealt
with by responsible agencies and counselor.
JANICE F. We should
ignore his parents and get
engaged.
MRS. L. F. They should
break it up.
JANICE F. I am 19 and
I have been going with a boy
of 20 for the past year. We
are very much in love and
want to be married.
Alan's parents seemed to
like me very much at first,
but when he told them he
wanted to get engaged, they
turned against me. They said
they don't want him to get
married until he is over 21
That's okay with me, but I
just wanted to be engaged
now.
My parents were very fond
of Alan, but now they are
angry about his parents' atti
tude and they want me to
break the whole thing up
Alan and I feel the same
about one another and I
think he ought to ignore his
parents and we should go
ahead and get engaged.
MRS. L. F It is true that
my husband and I liked Alan
and felt that he would be a
suitable husband for Janice,
but after what has happened
we are inclined to feel that
his parents are the kind who
could make a lot of trouble
for a young couple.
Ever since Alan told his
parents he wants to become
engaged they have treated
Janice very slightingly and
have said cutting things to
her. Their attitude seems to
be that she is trying to
"hook" him before he has a
chance to know his own mind.
We feel that Alan is quite
mature for his age, but his
parents' hostility could have
a very bad effect on him and
the marriage. Janice should
reconcile herself to giving
him up.
THE COUNCIL: The L.F.'s
may be taking the "slight"
to their daughter a little too
hard. They should recognize
that 20 really is a very young
age for a man to commit
himself to marriage. They
Have adjusted to the idea of
losing their daughter to a
husband in the very near fu
ture, but Alan's parents prob
ably find it a somewhat of a
shock to think of their son
as a married man.
If Alan's parents believe he
has not yet had " a chance to
know his own mind." they
may be have a good reason
for this theory. Probably they
know the youth a little bet
ter than either the L.F.'s or
Janice. Probably they are
concerned about his ability
to take on the responsibility
of a family and feel that he
should first be more firmly
established in a career.
In any case, there doesn't
seem to be any reason for
rash actions such as getting
engaged without Alan's fam
ily's approval or breaking up
the relationship. Since Alan's
parents have shown friendli
ness toward Janice in the past
they might be open to dis
cussion of the whole problem
with the L.F.'s. After talking
the matter out a little furth
er, they may be willing to
settle on a reasonable date for
an engagement.
Until an engagement does
take place, however, the
L.F.'s would be wise to en
courage their daughter to see
others. It is quite possible
that she, too, can benefit
from the opportunity to get
to know her own mind bet
ter. (Copyright 1958, General

Lana Turner Willing
To Discuss Custody
Hollywood HP) Attorney
Jerry Giesler confirmed Mon
day that Lana Turner was
willing to meet with her ex
husband, Stephen Crane, to
try to work out some plan for
the custody of their daughter,
Cheryl.
' Giesler stressed that Lana
feels the juvenile court hear
ing on April 24 should permit
her to keep custody of the 14-
year-old girl.
"That's a mother's natural
reaction," he said.
Fisherman Drowns
In Tillamook Bay.
Tillamook 0?) Ray White,

man, drowned in Tillamook
Bay Saturday afternoon after
falling from his boat as he
brought the craft to a dock

Is That So?
By EUGENE BURNS
Ranger-Naturalist
A hummingbird can't walk
on the ground, or other, flat
surface, for much the same
reason a duck can't sit on a
limb his feet aren't suited
to it.
But that means little to the
hummer. If he wants to pick
a bug off a flagstone, he can
do it easily enough. All he
has to do is hover in the air
head down if he desires.
For without a doubt he is
the all-time aerial - acrobat.
With a wing-beat of 200 per
second and his magnificent

muscular control it is no
problem at all for him to re
verse, his flight instantaneous
ly. In fact, he can fly back
wards if he wishes.
One of the most spectacular
things he does is to act like
a pendulum. Sometimes he
will swing back and forth in
an arc of two or three feet,
like a pendulum on an ordin
ary clock. Then, suddenly he
speeds up, as if time were
running out, in an arc no big
ger but incredibly swifter.
There are two opinions as
to the purpose of this act. One
is that he does it to impress
a prospective mate. The other
is to warn of danger.
Naturally such ability

that's it.
Even if the bug were far
enough away and managed to
duck into a flower, he'd find
no safety there. The hummer
would hang at the blossom's
mouth in an iridescent blur
while he probed with his long
bill for the bug and a bit of
nectar,- too.
But it isn't only bugs that
flee from him. Hawks, crows,
owls, or any other bird is de
lighted to leave him strictly
alone. They fear the thrust of
his awl-shaped bill against an
eye. Many times I have seen
one flying madly to avoid the
tiny terror flashing about his
head.

Parking Stirs Resentment
"I don't know how you'll
manage, in a very few years,
to use a car in New York.
And the parking situation
I resent it! The parking met
ers used to be one hour for
a dime. Now they're one-half
hour for a dime. You can't do
anything in one-half hour.
"In Paris the regulations
are strict, but in France you
know (with a shrug) you can
always go around the regula
tions." As he talks, we are scooting
down crowded Third ave. in
his tiny French Renault. Ges
turing with his right hand,
steering with his left, he flips
from opening to opening like
a halfback in a broken field.
Twice I thought he was going
to try to sneak right under
neath big trucks.
"Nice to have a little Car
in big traffic," he says. "When
I put my car beside a Cadee,
or a Bu-eek, or Olds-mah-beel,
it's just half their size. But
traffic fines are no smaller
for it. I got three parking
tickets in three months $30
fines.
"In France, you can go, out
in the country, 200 miles an
hour. No speed limit. On one
Jaguar, I was driving 100
miles an hour all the time.
And no trouble.
Highly Unlawful
Here, I would have been
highly unlawful on a park
way with a 60-mile speed
limit, and maybe I would
have had an accident.
"I think you have many
more accidents here than we
do in France. Why? Drunk
drivers. In France we are
more used to drinking. In
America, they get drunk more
easily. They start in the even
ing, fast. Want to catch up.
They get more dizzy. In
France, we start drinking in
the morning.
"You see how we sneak the
car into small places? It's just
crazee. You getting out here?
Ah, goodby. Bonne chance!"
