'Outdated Morality' Said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ciety's "outdated morality"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-

matical formula is the student

ing." said Calitri.
"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.

One-Woman
Guests Happy
By GAY PAULEY
New York -1TD- Mrs. Wi
nona Allen, a grandmother in
her 50's, is a one-woman sight
seeing bureau, shopping serv
ice, baby-sitter, adviser to the
lovelorn and
amateur
sleuth.
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

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

Chief reason is her desire to

the family.,
According to Mrs. Kath
erine B. Oettinger, chief of the
children's bureau of the De

and Welfare, there should be
no guilt complexes about
mothers' working.
In the book she notes:
"It is not the amount of

what happens during that
time that really matters, so
far as parent-child relations
are concerned."
