'Outdated Morality' Said Barrier for Teen-agers By MARY PRIME United Press International New York-CPB-The nation is failing to educate children properly because it has built emotional barriers around teen-agers, says an author and teacher, Charles J. Calitri. "One of the biggest emo tional barriers buiit up be tween parents and children is caused by sex," said Calitri, whose second novel, "Strike Heaven On the Face," was published recently (by Crown). He believes that our so ciety's "outdated morality" has cut ' off many teen-aged boys and girls from their par ents and their teachers. "This barrier results from parents' embarrassment or fear of the subject of sex. Sex- talk is something we have to learn to live with. Sexual ad justment is a vital part of teen-age life. But until we can talk to our children in a ma ture and adult way without embarrassment, we will con tinue to confuse their atti tudes toward it, and will fill ourselves with anxiety over teen-agers' behavior," the au thor said. Trust Needed "A major problem which teachers, as well as parents, face, is finding a way to break down the barrier. We must learn to speak teen-agers' language, get them to trust us and listen to us. In everyone's life, there is at least one teacher who is remembered above all others. That is the teacher who reached us and made us want to learn," he added. Calitri, who lives in Elm- hurst, N. Y., sold his novel to a movie studio (MGM) for more than $200,000 but re turned to his teaching job in a New York high school. His mother and father were teach ers, and his wife is a teach er. The father of two boys, aged 13 ?nd 10, he wrote the book because he feels some thing must be done about American education. "The nation " learned sud denly last year, with the Soviet Union's first Sputnik, that education is not some thing you can take for grant ed," Calitri said. "You cannot simply appropriate money and build bigger and better schools and expect to turn out better educated children. There is no question that we need more schools and more teachers, but we need even more a new philosophy to ward education and teaching. "The only way to reach stu dents and to inspire them to learn is to stimulate them, in tellectually and emotionally, until the student is deeply in volved in learning," he added. Stimulation Needed. "The student who gets angry with a teacher over a political issue, who falls in love with the heroine of a Food From Farm to Table Subject of OSC Bulletin Corvallis How do farm foods move to family tables? This is one of the questions answered in a new bulletin published by the Oregon State College extension, service. Titled, "What is Market ing?," the new publication points out that marketing does two things. First, it moves a product from the person who produces it to the person who uses it. And, second, it returns money through marketing channels to the producer. This makes it possible for farmers and other producers to exchange the products they raise or manufacture for items such as clothing, furniture, or machinery produced by oth ers. Without marketing, it would be difficult for anyone to get the items used in ev eryday living, it is explained. "A glance at the people over the earth shows that pro ducers who have good mar kets for exchanging their pro duce have the high levels of living, while people who do not have markets live the sub sistence type of life," the bul letin states. What marketing is and how it is done, is clearly explained through illustrations. Each of the nine marketing functions -selling, transportation, stand ards and grading, financing, market information, storage, risk'- taking, processing and packaging, and buying - are described in simple language. Role of housewives in help ing set prices is also explained in the new publication. There are also hints on ways farm- Ham Sandwich Spread " New York -'IPD- Keep ham sandwich spread on hand for children's school lunch boxes.

"The teacher who can stim ulate reactions in his students also can stimulate the learn ing process. Unfortunately, our schools have too many teachers who are not inspired by their work or have not been adequately prepared by their colleges. "We need to reappraise our methods of teaching the teach ers. We also need a new kind of textbook that will make learning exciting. "The Sputnik age brought a severe reaction among many persons to the progressive' methods attributed to John Dewey. But certainly no one would want to return to the rigid methods used before Dewey's time. It might be well for us to teach both the student - and the subject," he said.

She manages to combine all these in one job as head of guest rela tions for the Hotel Commo- 'Ji dore, located Gay Pauley at a crossroads for travelers Grand Cen tral Terminal. On the job for 16 years, the gray-haired widow believes hers is a career unique in the hotel field. Her one assign ment is to keep guests happy and make them want to stay at the same place on their next trip to the nation's larg est city. But accomplishing all this calls for tact and patience, plue a vast storehouse of in formation about New York's sights, its shops and its prices. During World War II, when servicemen by the thousands either stayed at the hotel or made its lobby their hangout, she located everything from misplaced dates to a de-scented skunk for a ship's mascot. Helps Find Donkeys She's been asfted to help a husband locate a black nightie for his wife. A father once asked her to help him find donkeys as gifts for his twin boys; she recently found a yacht for rent for one well heeled guest. She has had guests at the hotel and a few who later confessed they were staying at other hostelrie3 call or come by to find where to shop for antiques, where to buy a colony of ants, whether she can get tickets for tele vision shows she can, but draws the line at locating the ater tickets; to ask what clothes should be taken on an Alaskan trip; to ask about tip ping customs in the big town. "It's amazing how some people will unbend to a per fect stranger," she said. "I sometimes feel like a psychia trist. I've had people ask me how to bring up teen-agers, whether to get a divorce, how to tolerate a mother-in-law." Takes Cat To Game A woman who was obvious ly very fond of her traveling companion, once stopped by Mrs. Allen's desk in the lobby to inquire, "Am I permitted to take my cat to a baseball game?" Said Mrs. Alien, "I later How is it you know you're taking no chances when you let a youngster take your shopping list? Isn't it fo:1 the same reason that you buy 10 of your family's food without actually seeing it? You know that A good brand is your best guarantee . . . and that the name on the label is your best buying guide. You have learned to count on good I W Bureau Keeps for Hotel learned she took him . . . bought two tickets just to make sure both got in." "Some of the questions come long distance," said the affable Mrs. Allen. "One wom an called from the West Coast to ask what the weather would be like in New York in March. "I told her, 'Madam, what you need is an almanac'." Not too many days ago, one well-dressed woman appeared at Mrs. Allen's desk, stared at her a few minutes, and then commented: "So you're Mrs. Allen. Well thank goodness. My husband comes home talking about you every time he's been in New York. "I was afraid you were young and blonde." Said Mrs. Allen, "I told her if I had been what she thought, her husband wouldn't be coming home talking about me. Work and Married Women Subject For New Book New York-IUPD-The fact that she will live longer, and has completed her family earlier,; has created a new problem for the modern mother. That's according to "Work in the Lives of Married Wom en," just published by Colum bia University Press. Statistically, here are rea sons behind the "new" prob lem: -In 1900, the average Amer ican woman had a life expect ancy of 64 years. Today, chances are that she still will be alive at 75. -Fifty years ago, the aver age American mother had her last child at the age 32. And the "baby" didn't marry and leave home until about 10 years before the mother could be expected to die. -Today, a mother has com pleted her family at age 26, and this youngest child en ters first grade when Mom is 32, leaving her comparatively free to do as she wishes. It adds up to the modern mother's dilemma: How can she use the next four decades of her life so that they will be of greatest benefit to her family and to herself? The problem was discussed during the National Manpow er Council's study of "Woman power" last year. It is further explored by some of the na tion's leading authorities in this new book. According to the book, there are many reasons why a mother whose children no longer require her full-time send a child Couple Arrives For Visit Here Mr. and Mrs. L. Fudge, Se attle. Wash., are New Year's guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Nordwick, 919 Red dy avenue. Mrs. Fudge and Mrs. Nordwick are sisters.

Mix well, pile lightly into grapefruit halves and top with 1 cup cottage cheese. care may choose to work. Chief reason is her desire to help her husband provide a higher standard of living for the family., According to Mrs. Kath erine B. Oettinger, chief of the children's bureau of the De partment of Health, Education and Welfare, there should be no guilt complexes about mothers' working. In the book she notes: "It is not the amount of time spent with the child, but what happens during that time that really matters, so far as parent-child relations are concerned." To turn leftover ham or turkey into a gourmet supper dish, prepare your favorite macaroni and cheese recipe using sauterne wine for part of the liquid.
