'; ' The "next meeting, Feb. 5, will be given over to com memoration of the Oregon Centennial. Refreshments wera furn ished by Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Chase. Caroline S. My husband and -1 are parents of three children ranging from 8 to 15 years old. We have been hav ing a lot of disputees recently about their upbringing. We were always very easy going" with them and I guess we spoiled them a bit. The oldest boy, particularly, is getting to be hard to handle. He has been fresh and dis obedient and isn't doing too well in school. My husband has taken to hitting him and Johnny re sents it very much. I'm afraid that any day now. he's going to hit back. My husband also tore up Johnny's picture of one of his favorite baseball heroes and now Johnny goes around saying he'll get re venge somehow or other. I do feel that we must be more strict, but I think these pun ishments are making Johnny worse. . . Jonathan S. It is not the punishments that are making Johnny worse, but the lack of punishments in the pas t Johnny goes to school with some very rough kids and I'm afraid he'll become a regular juvenile delinquent if we don't do something-fast. I am also worried about the younger kids. They fol low Johnny in everything- even the girl. With that as an example and with all of these bad influences in the school and neighborhood, I don't know what will . become of them. - J Caroline seems to think you can get s6mewhere with kids by scolding and nagging, but it certainly doesn't seem to be working out with our brats. I do feel that it might be enough if they weren't ex posed to so many bad influ ences outside our home. Ex treme situations call for ex treme remedies. The Council: Jonathan's alarm over the future of his children is understandable, but it should be obvious to him that his methods aren't working. The question of punishment is a relatively small part of child rearing. Some parents manage to exert a great deal of authority over their chil dren with a minimum of pun ishment and others, who pun- SELF SERVICE PUB - London - (DPD - Britain's first self-service pub report ed a booming business today.

What punishments to give, how often and under what circumstances must be deter mined by common sense and observation of the child. Meth ods that are effective . with one child may be useless with another. In general, we would say that punishments that cause a child humiliation or deep hurt to his feelings are out of order. A boy of 15, who has been "spoiled a bit" and who is suddenly hit by his father, is bound to resent it and to develop hostile feeling to ward his attacker. Even worse is the destruction c ' the boy's personal property-a picture of a hero at that. Such pun ishments hurt without teach ing anything but violence. Children's heroes are precious and represent their highest aspirations. Why should a fa ther attack what represents the good to his child. It - seems to us that both these parents have become frightened by the realization that they do not represent au thority to their children. It is a frightening situation, but. it cannot be remedied over night. They will have to build up their stature in their chil dren's eyes by proving that they can be kindly and under standing even while they are firm. (Copyright 1959, , General Features Corp.

Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins Hermit Crab Carries His Home With Him There's a crab that lives in a shell in the sea who has satisfactorily solved the hous ing problem. For obvious rea sons, because he lives alone, he is called the hermit crab. . This little guy was prob ably the first migratory work er who traveled afar and car ried his home along with him. When a personal whim or an aggravated appetite dictates a change of location, he va cates the familiar "home" and migrates to richer pastures or warmer- waters. His portable home provides protection wherever his roaming desires lead him. As -he eats he grows, so more commodious quarters frequently become necessary. He then searches for and usu ally finds a larger shell and quickly transfers his soft body to his new home. The hermit crab occupies only univalve shells, and often selects one which posses some color. He has been known to utilize other objects that catch his . fancy, seven a; discarded pipe bowl or a small glass bottle. A Hundred Species There are over a hundred species of hermit crabs, dis tributed pretty generally. One variety spends much of its time "up a tree," especially a palm tree growing close to the "water's edge. Others in habit the medium depths of the sea, and still others live on dry land. The eggs laid by the hermit crab are usu ally coral-colored, and some are about the size of mustard seeds. They hatch early in the spring. j The young are called "coae," or "free swimming, followed by the gloucothoe" stage, a period that lasts but a few days. The shell-occupying period follows, and the little crab hunts a spiral shell of some dead molusk in wh'.ch to live! The hermit crab has a pug nacious nature, often fighting another crab for a shell if it happens to look better than the one he is occupying. The hermit crabs move with great rapidity. The second and third pair of legs serve as locomo tive equipment. The first pair of legs are used in gathering food and for fighting. The shell opening is covered by the claws when the animal is frightened. Sensitive Even when withdrawn, and deep in his limestone castle, the crab is sensitive to out side stimuli such as -water pressure, touch, light and vi bration. These crabs act as MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Monday, January 19, 1959 IS Nationalist Chinese To Defend Every Islet Taipei (DPD - Nationalist Chief of General Staff Wang Shu Ning has declared that Nationalist China will de fend every tiny islet in both the Quemey and the Matsu Island groups. Nationalist China's top mili tary commander made the Taipei government's determi nation known after uncon firmed reports circulated here that the United States is try ing to pursuade President Chiang Kai-Shek to give up some of the smaller islets in the two island groups the Nationalists hold along the China mainland. FIRE HITS WINDSOR Windsor, England - (UPD -Fire broke out in 700-year-old Windsor Castle Sunday night, but - household members ex tinguished the flames before the fire brigade arrived. scavengers, and serve as a distribution agency for other forms of life that often attach to the shell. Many shell-houses become so thickly encrusted with barnacles, or small oys ters, as to become too great a weight for the crab to lug around. The hard working lit tle hermit then must select a newer, cleaner shell "or be an chored to one spot. At times like this, he philo sophically trudges on until the senseless weight becomes im movable. Then he abandons it all, the riders and the shell. (Released by The Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1959) College Scholarship Increased by $100 The Oregon AFL-CIO has announced an increase in the amount of its annual college scholarship awards offered to Oregon high school seniors.
