Mr. T.F. - He has gotten too big for his breeches. Paul F. I am 16 and am having a lot of trouble with my parents. They, want me to .work in my father's store this summer, but I have better ideas. I have been working in that old hole of a store for the past four summers and I am sick of it. A friend of mine can help me get a job in a swank resort hotel, where 1 could make twice as much money in tips and have a good time besides. The worst of it is that my folks don't really need me in the store. I know that they just want to keep an eye on me. They don't like my friend and they think we are up to something funny. I think the folks should realize that I ought to have some wider ex perience than just working in their store. Mr. T.F. - Paul sure has one thing right. We do want to keep an eye on him. We do think that he and his buddy are up to something - and it's nothing good. Paul has gotten too big for his breeches in the past year. He boasts about how much he can get away with. He geta some of the smartest kids to write his school papers. He bluffs through his exams and constantly tells stories about how he made a fool of some teacher. But next thing we hear is that the same teacher has given him a high grade. Paul is a smart kid and a good - looking one, but he thinks he can get away with too much. He has the attitude that life owes him everything without his having to do a thing. ' The Council: - The T.F.'a are wise to recognize that Paul has a problem. Occasion ally, the parents of such a boy are fooled into thinking that he is, indeed, quite a wonder and will manage to breeze through life in fine style. It is true that some indi . viduals manage to acquire a good deal of worldly success on a maximum of brass and a minimum of work and ability, but parents who are con cerned about more than the superficial aspects , of their children's lives should strive to give them a different out look. Paul's problem is basically, psychological, but it also has to do with some false values he has acquired. A person who tries to get ahead by outwit ting or hurting others rather than by honest effort has a deep sense of inferiority. He needs to belittle others to keep up his own self-esteem. Some people strive to over come a sense of inferiority by setting high goals and making a strong effort to achieve them, but others, like Paul, get the idea that bluffing is a better and smarter way. Such individuals have managed to get some approval from par ents or other adults for this behavior or they have seen they believe that this would prove their inferiority. It is none too early for these parents 'to straighten out Paul's sense of values. He should get no praise whatever for high grades or any other achievement that is not earn ed by his own effort. If his stories about "making a fool of some teacher" met with rigorous censure at home, he would soon learn to dispense with " such disgraceful be havior. - We agree that a swank re sort hotel probably isn't the right place for a boy with Paul's attitudes. Many boys work hard and gain valuable experience at such jobs, but in his present frame of mind Paul is more likely to use phony techniques to get his tips. He ought to be put to work at a job which requires honest effort for success. (Copyright 1959. General Features Corp.)

He was 22 years old at the time. '1 Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins Swallowtail Butterfly The flight of the swallow tail butterfly is leisurely, al most to the point of being deliberate. These graceful creatures loaf along at the rate of about six miles an hour, flapping their scaly, col orful wings at approximately 25 flaps to the minute. Like all butterflies the brightly colored wings are covered with tiny scales that brush off easily, like dust or powder. These scales have their surfaces crossed by nu merous parallel ridges. The swallowtails have ex ceedingly long tongues capa ble of penetrating into deep throated flowers. When not sipping water or the nectar from a flower, the tongue is coiled, like the hair-spring, of a watch, up under the insect's head. The swallowtails are the larg est and the most gaudy of our butterflies, some measuring as much as five inches across the wings. These insects are char acterized by being dressed in "tails." These tails are exten sions on each of the hind wings'. Their only purpose, as far as is known, is purely dec orative. The exception to the rule is the so-called blue swal lowtail who, for some reason, is "tailless" but is nailed a swallowtail nevertheless. Brownish-Black The giant swallowtail is brownish black with a double row of yellow spots on the wings. Viewed from a dis tance the spots seem to merge together and look like a solid color band. The base of the hind wings have a yellow edge. It has conspicuous "tails" as though the insect were attired in a full dress suit. The swallowtails have large heads and fly only during the daylight hours. They are as much a part of summer as the sunshine or the flowers. They are attracted to rotted fruit, as well as decayed animal flesh. They often gather by dozens at the edge of a mud puddle during dry weather when all other sources of wa ter are dried up. Water seems to be as essential to them as the nectar of flowers. Often Green The larva of the swallow tails is usually bright colored, often vivid green, naked, and capable of emitting a very disagreeable odor when dis turbed. This is supposed to be a protective device to discour age any hungry bird that might want butterfly flesh for a meal. The larva attaches itself at the top of a suitable support, hanging head downward. Usu ally a girdle of silk threads is thrown about the middle to keep the sleeping creature from swinging in the winds that will surely blow before it awakens from Its strange sleep into a gaudy, swallow tail butterfly -with a full dress and "tails."
