Eacb article is a uminar ! an actual report. The Family Council does

with by responsible aeenrie " eomwMora
Paul F. - They wont let hs f hue USed
me take a job at a swank At ,bottom. they are afraid of
maKing a real enori Because
hotel.
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.

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."
