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.

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.

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.

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.
