Mother hurts my feelings. Mrs. S. M. She makes me furious. Lorraine M. I am 14 and I'm at the stage where I'm having terrific fights at home. My friends all tell me they have fights too but I'm sure they can't be as bad as the ones I have. I realize it is natural for parents to want to stop you from everything you want lo do like staying up late, having a lot of dates, using too much makeup, and all of that. But is it natural for a girl's mother to call her a fool, the world's worst pain in the neck, and other things like that? My mother hurts my feel ings something terrible every time we have an argument. She never apologizes no matter how wrong she is. Mrs. s. M. Lorraine was a nice, well-behaved girl until two years ago. Then she started going out with a ter rible group of girls loud mouthed, silly and badly be haved. She has changed so much I hardly know she is the same girl. When I criticize her the least bit she flies into a rage. She says I don't understand her and I am deliberately try ing to make things hard for her, and that I favor her younger brother and. sister. Sometimes she makes me so furious I do say harsh things to her. I don't think a mother should have to apologize to a daughter for a thing like that. I do my best as a mother, but I think I'm failing with Lorraine. The Council: It appears to us Lorraine is going through a period of dislike of herself. Evidently she shows herself to her mother at her worst and wants her mother to show love and respect in return so she can feel a little better about herself. Mrs. S. M. should try to have a little more patience with Lorraine. She should realize the "loud-mouthed, siliy, badly behaved girls" Lorraine has taken up with are probably pretty much in the same boat as her daughter. They don't want to act loud and silly and hate themselves for it, yet somehow they feel impelled to act this way. These girls are all trying to learn to act like young wom en and just don't know how to go about it. Childish games no longer interest them and childish modes of behavior feel uncomfortable to them. xcuLuixiuijr, uui mey muu and make fools of themselves whenever they make the at nmlMi'n.'i.. 1 X 4.1 .

SBA has been lending mon ey to lumber companies and sawmills ever since its pro gram began in 1953. Up to the first of this year, it had approved 351 loans for small businesses in the lumber and wood products business. Total amount was $21,704,000. Some observers here think the new amendment will nev er be used directly, that is by SBA getting the timber agen cies to give small business special sales.

Lorraine needs help and en couragement from her moth er. Mrs. S. M. should avoid criticism and try to offer pos itive helD. If. for examnlp. Lorraine uses too much make up, she would do best to say, "Don't you think a paler shade of lipstick would be more becoming?" If Lorraine doesn't take the hint, she should let the matter slid Next time her daughter may try the paler shade and Mrs. S. M. should be lavish in her praise of it. Lorraine has a leeitimate complaint when she says her mother doesn't understand her. Mrs. S. M. should let Lorraine know she under stands her confusions and is always ready to help her. She should try not to let herself get provoked into arguments. (Copyrigt 1958. General Features Corp.)

With Elvis in tne Army de fending the country, Colonel Tom is like a cart without a horse, an actor without a stage. But Parker still has his voice. "Ah just dropped into town for a week to finish my 'Kink Creole' snow job," he said in his hominy, and grits accent. "That's mah boy's new movie. Ah been handing out Elvis balloons, bumper stick ers and pictures of Elvis in his Army uniform wallet size." Association Recalled A flamboyant character of the Barnum and Bailey stripe, Parker joined forces with the gyrating stomp and holler singer some three years ago, shortly after Presley crawled out of a truck cab to begin his singing career. He built the gawky young ster into a multimillion-dollar star with exploitation stunts worthy of the old snake oil bamboozlers. "Elvis was good enough for me when he was out of the Army," Barker said loyally, attempting to smother a sob, "and he's good enough for me now. I'm not, even takin' on any othah clients. "Too many people jump off the wagon when its stops and try to get back on when it rolls again. Me, I'll just grease the wheels.
