The Family Council Editor's note: The Family Council consists of a judge, m psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor a women's editor and two writers. Each article is a summary ! an actual report. The Family Council does not give advice; it merely reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies ana counselors. Kenneth S We'd like to take the boy. Helene S.-I'm capable of bringing up my own son. Edward S.-I want to live with Uncle Ken. .. Kenneth S-My brother died four years ago, leaving behind a young widow and two chil dren. The boy, Ed, is now 15 and a great problem to his mother and I would like tp help both of them. Ed came to my home sev eral weeks ago after a serious bout with his mother. He said he can't stand her nagging any more and he wants to live with my wife and me. Our children are married and we wouldn't mind having Ed with ui. Perhaps we could help the boy. My sister-in-law seems to think that we are trying to teal him away from' her. She has always been a very nerv ous woman and was inclined to be jealous of others in the family. I think it is about time she realized we don't mean her any harm. We only want to help. i Helene S. My brother-in-law has always made little snide remarks about the fact that I am not as good a man ager or homemaker as his wife. When my husband died he came over and asked me to let him and his wife go over my finances so they could help qpe with the budgeting. I was so furious I really lost my temper that time. - . Whenever Kenneth sees Ed he makes a point of telling him to be sure to come to him if he needs help and that's what made Ed run away to him. I am quite capable of bringing up my own son. Edward S. My mother complains and nags all the time about this, that and the other thing and my big sister is also a dam in the neck. I know I would grow up much better if I could live with my uncle and aunt. The Council. Kenneth ap pears to have definitely over stepped the limits in his ef forts to be helpful to his sister- in-law and nephew. He ap pears to have scant respect for the area of privacy that aurrounds every family. He is, perhaps, flattered that the boy turned to him' in his hour of crisis. v A boy like Ed can well use an uncle as a kind of substi tute, father. The relationship could and should be a fine one, but it can't be if the uncle intrudes himself too far into the family life. It is not unusual for a boy to run away to a favorite rel ative when he believes he is being mistreated at home. In such a case it is the relative's responsibility to be sympa thetic without in the tiniest degree implying that the par ent's authority is to be chal lenged or even questioned. Kenneth must be in some way have given Ed the idea that he could live with him if he found his mother's home un satisfactory. , . Once Kenneth accepts the fact that it is not his business to interfere with or judge his sister-in-law in her manage ment of her home and family, he can set up a far better re lationship with his nephew. It is not necessary for him to make statements about his de sire to help the boy. If he is normally friendly and man-toman with Ed, the boy will get the idea that there is an older man in the family he can turn to for a special kind of un derstanding and guidance. Ed should realize that his place is with his mother-even if things are sometimes tough at home. (Copyright 1959. General . Features Corp.) Indian Tax Exemption Urged Washington - (UPD -Sen. Richard L. Neuberger CD Ore.) has introduced legisla tion to exempt from federal anJ state income tax $26,500, 000 paid to Oregon and Wash ington Indian tribes for loss of fishing rights at Celilo Falls on the Columbia river. The historic site was flood ed by the reservoir from The Dalles dam. The money was paid to the Warm Springs, Yakima, Nez Perce and Umatilla tribes. Neuberger said the Internal Revenue Service has , ruled that if tribes want to divide funds on a per .capita basis among members, the money will then become taxable. He said that in the past Congress has consistently provided that monies paid to Indians in land acquisition and termination proceedings are to be tax free. ' . He said that any other policy would be unfair since Indians have lost their sal mon fishing rights permanent ly. The Interior Department has endorsed the bill, he said. pg3 Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins Ringtail Monkey Made A 'Monkey' Out of Author ' Babe was a monkey. A lit tle ringtail from South Amer ica. By every look and action she was a very unhappy monkey. Then a well-meaning lady made a suggestion. "Why keep Babe tied to the stake?" she asked. "Allow her the freedom of the entire area by the simple method of attach ing her chain to a grappling hook affair. Then the monkey could pull the contraption along but the hooks on the grapple would catch on a fence if she tried to escape." The idea, on the face of it, One of Seven AmericansMayBe Mentally Normal Denver -(UPD - A university professor told the National Congress of Parents and Tea chers here that only one of seven Americans may be men tally normal. Harold Dw Lasswell, profes sor of law and political science at Yale University, also told the group's 63rd an nual convention that more than 1,500,000 Americans suf fer mental disorders which require hospitalization; that an equal number are mentally retarded, and that 1 in 16 is afflicted with unmistakable mental and personality dis orders. Adding to that the number of persons estimated to suffer from undiagnosed mental ail ments, Lasswell said, only one in seven persons can be ex pected to be normal. . , Most Crucial Role Lasswell said the family has the most crucial role to play in developing a personality. We have learned to rec ognize the disastrous conse quences that often follow the break-up of homes and the equally catastrophic results of failing to modify homes where unstable and warring parents do a wrecking job on their children.'' He also lashed out at the so-called "social climbers." "I have remarked else where that social climbing is a national exercise, especially in the women's division," he said. "To keep up with the Joneses is often to follow them all the way to the mental hos pital." . Michael Beck Name Lions Club Head .chael Beck was elected president of the Medford Lions club for the year begin ning July 1 at the regular meeting Tuesday, Alan Jew ett, outgoing club president, has announced. ( Beck, president of Beck's Morning Fresh Bakery, has been a member of the Med ford Lions club since April, 1932, and has been active in the club's activities since that time. Other officers are first vice president, Tony Capello; sec ond vice president, Ray Bar nett; tail twister, Louie Ruhl; Lion tamer, Millard Hoff man; secretary-treasurer, Lee Knox; and directors, Ed Setz ler and Vern Chapman. Hold over directors are Tom Es linger and Dr. Bob Harlan. sounded reasonable inasmuch as the area was large, com pletely surrounded by a high, wire fence that kept most ani mals safely inside but of course offered no agile bar rier to an agile monkey. The grappling hook would cer tainly tangle in the fence and prevent Babe from extending her horizons too far. . Resembled an Anchor When completed the hook looked a great deal like the anchor used by fishing boats that usually anchor over a sandy bottom. It consisted of four, sharply curved hooks welded together with an "eye" to which the chain could be' secured. Babe seemed pleased with it. She started out on a trip of exploration, dragging the hook along behind her. As long as she walked every thing was just dandy, the hook more -or -less tumbling and rolling along in a series of jerks. If she started to run, one of the prongs would catch and fetch the monkey up with a neck-wrenching jolt. To overcome this she held the. chain with one hand, thereby saving the strain on her neck. I was elated. Babe was now almost at liberty to go anywhere within j the fenced area. Naturally I could no know what was going on in the lit tle, round monkey-head. I never suspected that an idea was hatching there. She fooled me by always acting terribly bored; ignoring the drag. She tolerated the thing and as far as I could seex never gave the thing any thought whatsoever. Then" one day, Babe was gone. Two days later, came a report that , a monkey carry ing a hook-like contraption was seen a couple of miles away running across yards and climbing - trees. I drove out there. It was Babe high up in a tree. She, glared down scornfully at me. When she wanted to climb higher or even leap to another nearby tree, she picked the drag up in one hand, coiled the chain carefully around her wrist and jumped. After a few -jumps she be came tired, so she wedged the drag in the crotch of a branch and rested. , She had figured out the combination. The fact that she had always seemed to ignore the drag is pretty good evi dence that she had it all fig' ured out early in the game She made a "monkey" out of me. (Released by The Register and Tribune Syndicate. 1959) Scientific Study Said Hampered by Government Secrecy Washington (Science Serv ice) - Space, research and all other fields of' scientific study are hampered by the Govern ments secrecy policies, a Uni versity of Maryland physics professor charged here. Dr. Fred Singer told the House Space Committee of his unsuccessful attempts to ob tain information on the Rus sian moon shot, M e c h t a , which was launched into an orbit around the sun last Jan uary. He said he tried several times in various ways to learn what U. S. Government agen cies had learned from the Russian moon shot. When these efforts proved fruitless, Dr. Singer reported, he obtained the desired infor mation from translated Rus sian sources. He blamed a ten dency on the part of person nel in both military and civil ian Government agencies "to sit on data," since the request r " information was not under secrecy wraps. However, Dr. Singer said, the problems of obtaining in formation are "much broader than space research," and af fect all scientists connected with the Federal Govern ment's research programs. Even though he has clear ances from , more than one agency, including the Atomic Energy Commission, Dr. Sing er said he had to establish his "need to know" before the in formation could be given him. Dr. Singer charged the "need to know" was a device used to keep persons from finding out the information was available at all. It is dif ficult, Dr. Singer pointed out, to establish a need to know when you do not know that another person has" the desir ed information. . Recent Example . t A recent example of this in Dr. Singer's field of rocket and space research was the Argus experiment in which atomic bombs were exploded high above the Atlantic Oceaa late last summer and the rer suiting radiation trapped in space was ieasured. Dr. N. C. Christofilos of the Uni versity of California, who suggested the explosions, and Dr. Singer could not discuss the theory of such trapped radiation for several months, JUST IN CASE New York - (UPD - A store offered air conditioners for sale today with "no payments until temperature hits 95 de grees." Last summer it never did. But the store had some fine print to take care of that ... or July 15, 1959." Alaska's great river, the Yukon, carries about as much water to the sea as the. Mis sissippi system. even Dr. Singer had suggested the existence of trapped radi ation high above the earth's surface some three years ago, because the experiments were n-t disclosed until March. Forest fires caused an aver age of $392 million worth 6f direct damage to timber and property , in the United States each year in the 1940's.
