The Family Council
Editor"! note: The Famll) Council consist of Indie, a psychiatrist,
three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers
Each article 's a summary ot an actual report The Family Council does
aot tive aovice; it merely report on problems that have been dealt
vita by responsible afencim and eeusuon.
Mrs. F. R. I am very
worried about my 15-year-old
daughter, Stella, who is very
childish lor her age. She is
quite smart in school and her
teachers have no complaints
about her behavior, but she
is just impossible at home.
. For example, she got hold
of her younger sister's hula
hoop and she plays with it
by the hour. She can do more
twirls with it than any of
the youngsters in the neigh
borhood and every day puts
on a performance in the back
yard with everyone watching.
When children play with
this thing I see nothing wrong
in it, but when a well-developed
15-year-old exhibits her
self in this way, it is embar
rassing. I have tried to ex
plain that this is a child's
toy and that she is making a
fool of herself, but I haven't
been able to stop her.
Sulla R. I am picked
on so much at home, it is
just terrible. My parents
think nothing of it when my
kid sister does these things,
but with me everything is for
bidden. My kid sister can
chew bubble gum, wear
sweaters and jeans-wherever
and whenever she likes and
make with the hula hoop by
the hour, but with me it's a
different story.
I may be 15, but that isn't
exactly being an old woman
yet. Girls in. their 20s have
danced with the hula hoop
on TV, so what's so terrible
sbout my doing it in the back
varrl?
. My parents keep telling me
to act like a grown-up, but
they treat me like a baby.
They set up a howl if I wear
a little more make-up than
usual and they make me come
home from parties and dates
earlier than anyone else. I
am the laughing stock of all
my friends.
.
' The Council Stella
does appear to be rather
childish, but in this she is
showing one of the natural
phases of her adolescence.
Like most adolescents she
looks forward eagerly to the
excitement and privileges of
being grown up, but she also
has some fears about that
stage and would like to deny
her own maturity.
When Stella indulges in
her hula hoop performances,
she probably is accomplishing
two things in her own mind
insisting that she is still a
child, and seizing an oppor
tunity for some exhibitionism
of her maturing body. She is
probably vaguely aware that
there is a difference between
her intimate performance of
the neighborhood and a
smoothly perfected perform
ance on TV, but her impulses
are Scr strong she prefers to
slur this difference in her
own mind.
Stella must be aware of the
reasons why her parents out
law bubble gum and sweaters
and jeans for her, but allow
her kid sister to enjoy these
things. The fact that she
makes an issue of it may
mean that she wants a little
more open discussion of these
matters. As long as Stella is

torn between the desire to de
ny and assert her budding
femininity, prim annoyance or
embarrassment on the part of
the parents leaves her in an
angry, bewildered mood. She
will look for other means of
expressing the same conflict.
Mrs. F. R. ought to help
Stella find a feminine ideal.
Books and teen-age magazines
are very helpful in creating
an image to which young
girls can aspire. When Stella
has a clear-cut standard to
work toward, it will be much
easier to gently guide her in
the right direction.

MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE
United States, Russia Relieved To Be
Neck-and-Neck for Space leadership
Washington-flTPD Govern
ment experts believe as 1953
ends that the U.S. and Russia
are running neck-and-neck for
the space leadership of the
world.
The Soviets can claim only
one clearly superior accomp
lishment for the year launch
ing the 3,000-pound Sputnik
III last May 15.
Against this, American can
claim a variety of achieve
ments, including the outstand
ing scientific result of 1958
discovery by the Explorer
satellites of the' deadly "Van
Allen belt" of radiation at altl
tudes of more than 600 miles
above the earth. .
The situation is far differ
ent from what it was at the
beginning of the year, when
the Soviets, with the success
ful Sputniks held undisputed
leadership in the race for
space, the U. S. just having
blown up a Vanguard rocket
in its first attempt at hurling
a "moon" iinto orbit.
Strong Evidence
Today, America's many
pronged programs for launch
ing satellites in the coming
months from both the East
and and West coasts and for
continuing lunar probes in
which the Soviets are not yet
participating gives strong evi
dence that the U.S. may move
definitely ahead in 1959.
Sputnik Ill's great weight,
nearly 100 times that of the
heaviest of America's orbiting
moons, would seem to mean
Soviet leadership in the race
to the next big prestige prize-
placmg a manned vehicle in
orbit around the earth. ,
Manned orbital flight is
now expected within two or
three years. Numerous calcul
ations agree that this acieve-
ment, including the man's safe
return to earth,, will require
almost the same "payload"
weight as Russia's Sputnik.
To the rocket experts in the
Pentagon and the new U. S.
civilian space agency, how
ever, the weight of Sputnik
III merely means that the Sov
iets have used , their intercon
tinental ballistic missile for
satellite launchings, while
America has not yet reached
that state.
Satellite Booster
The Pentagon's Advanced
Research Projects Agency
now assures that America s
Atlas ICBM will be used as a
satellite booster during 1959,
and that its use eventually
will make possible orbiting
payloads of as much as 4,000
pounds.
That is enough to allow for
a "man in space" capsule,
which is already being design
ed and could fly in 1960 or
1961. The capsule and man
are expected to weigh about
2,500 pounds. Additional pay
load is needed for "safety"
rockets,' which, would be set
off to free the capsule and
permit the man to descend by
parachute if the launcher blew
up. ' -
Another field In which
America may or may not be
ahead of the Russians is the
launching of . military recon
naissance satellites. Experi
mental models of these may
go up as often as once a month
in 1959 from Vandenberg Air
Force Base, on part of what
was formerly Camp Cooke in
California.

lites will sail over the North
and South Poles. With the

earth turning under them,
they will bring every part of
the globe under surveillance
every 24 hours. Launchings,
started with the 1,500-mile
Thor as a booster and with
a payload of about 300
pounds, are to work up to the
use of the 5,500-mile Atlas.
The starting gun for Amer
ican space successes was fired
on the night of Jan. 31, 1958,
at Cape Canaveral, Fla., when
the Army rocketed into orbit
Explorer I, the first U. S.
satellite.
A second Army attempt fail
ed on March 5, but on March
17, Vanguard I, a small test
sphere, found an orbit. Ex
plorer III on March 26 and
Explorer IV in July brought
the total of successful U.S.
moon launchings to four.
Between Explorer III and
IV, a major mystery develop
ed, because the satellites were
reporting expected amounts of
radiation below altitudes of
600 to 7Q0 miles, but none
above that level.
Dr James A. Van Allen
of the University of Iowa con
cluded that the radiation at
higher levels was so intense
that the instruments were
"overwhelmed" and could not
report.
That has now been confirm
ed by Explorer IV. Van Allen
believes the radiation may go
as high as 1,000 "roentgens"
per hour at 8,000 miles, which
would mean that an unprotect
ed person would suffer a leth
al dose in a half hour.
The Air Force's three lunar
probe launchings . took the
spotlight on Aug. 17, Oct. 11
and Nov. 7. Although none
was successful in reaching the
moon, the flight of Pioneer II
to an altitude of 79,212 miles
held the attention of the
world for more than 30 hours.
Dales To Pick
If space historians of the
future are looking for signific
ant dates in 1958, they may
pick March 27, when Presi
dent Eisenhower ordered the
lunar probes and also issued
a historic statement assuring
the public that "this is not
science fiction."
The historians might also
pick Aug. 15, when Roy John
son, ARPA director, ordered
development of a rocket "clus
ter" with a combined thrust of
1,500,000 pounds. If the Atlas
can project two tons into
orbit, the cluster should be
able to orbit 12 to 15 tons.
Another significant date
may turn out to have been
Oct. 1, when the Civilian Na
tional Aeronautics and Space
Agency headed by Dr. T.
Keith Glennan took over
much of the space program,
including a 50 per cent voice
in the "man in space" project.
Actually, . America's lunar
rockets have the power to
send objects of almost equal
weight to the planets Mars
and Venus, 50 million to 100
million miles away. But man
ned " flight to the moon will
MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Tuesday, December 16, 195S IS
prove much easier because of
the shorter distance, shorter
time and lesser amount of
navigation required.
President E i s e n hower's
March 27 statement, outling
the nation's space plans, in
cluded "human flight in orbit"
under the heading "later."
"Human lunar exploration

heading "still later," while
"human planetary explora
tion" was labeled "much later
