Elian R. - Mother is too strict. Mrs. F. R.-The kids around here are much too fast. Ellen R. - I am 14 and my best friend is- 15 and we are both in love with the same man. He is' a teacher in our school, about 25 and married. We aren't trying to break up his marriage or anything like that, but we did want him to know how we feel. So we wrote him a kind of love letter. It told how much we admire him and how we think he is so much more attractive than any of the boys of our age. We signed off with lip stick kisses, but we didn't give our names. We thought he'd make some mention in class of hav ing gotten a letter, but he never even said a word. So we wanted to send another letter. My mother got wind of it and she is furious. My friend's mother heard about it and just laughed. I feel that my mother is much too strict. Mrs. F. R. - I know that I'm stricter than other moth ers in our community, but my husband and I feel that the kids around here are much too . fast.

There have been a number of teen-age marriages in our community and my husband and I have been horrified, by this. We were married young, but in our 20s, when we were old enough to know what we were doing. I don't see how Ellen's friend's mother can take this thing so lightly. I think it's awful that they should carry on like this. Tha Council-We think that Mrs. F. R. is right - for the wrong reasons. There is nothing very un usual or bad about teen-age girls mooning over a male teacher (and if Mrs. F. R. searches her memory care fully, we believe she'll recall some similar occurrence in her own history), but these girls should be discouraged from making pests of them selves. They should also be taught that it is wrong to send anonymous letters. If the writer has a sense of shame about sending a mess age, it should not be sent. We'll make an exception for Valentines, which follow laws of their own. Aside from this issue, these two girls show that they are not "fast," but a bit backward emotionally and socially. The game, or fantasy they play to gether is more suitable for girls a few years younger. These girls re old enough to start enjoying, activities with boys their own age or a little bit older. If they were en joying such teen-age friend ships, they would not involve themselves in this completely unrealistic day dream. We don't blame the F.R.'s for being alarmed about the teen-age marriages, but they will not help their daughter by adopting rigid attitudes that prevent their seeing her actual problems. The girl who talks about a "marvelous hunk of man" at age 14 may be trying out a new line she heard just for kicks. She may be the very girl who will be tongue tied and helpless be fore boys as much as two years later. If the FJl.'s want to help their daughter eventually make a mature and sensible marriage, they will try to understand her as an individ ual and guide her toward fuller emotional and social development. They should not let fear "paralyze their com mon sense. (Copyright 1959, General Features Corp.) What- Is The Law? This column is prepared as a public service by tha Collage of Law.

Plans for the Jamboree and Float were discussed. Mrs. Holt was appointed float chairman. CARTON MAN DIES Mobile, Ala.-J. Robert Dor sey, president of the Security Carton Co. of Mobile, died Sunday at his home after a short illness. Et was 64, Adenauer Decision Seen Cause off Split Bonn' (UPD - Konrad Aden auer's decision to continue as West Germany's chancellor appeared yesterday to have created a serious split in his Christian Democratic party which may force postpone ment of the presidential elec tion scheduled July 1. ' The 83-year-old chancellor, who had announced that he would run for the figurehead post of president, has decid ed to hold on to his present job because of the critical state of world politics. Reports circulating here in dicated that Adenauer's chief reason for deciding to contin ue as chancellor was the fact that Economics Minister Lud wig Erhard, the architect of West Germany's "miracle" recovery from World War n, was virtually certain to suc ceed him. Adenauer had been ' Can a Child Sue Parent for Injury Inflicted by Parent? ' A three year old boy was negligently injured by his father. The father, in fact, hit and ran over his son with an automobile. An action was brought on behalf of the child by his mother seeking dam ages from the father i It should be pointed out that the father was completely insured by a policy of liability insurance. The Supreme Court of New Hampshire, in deciding this case in 1954, held that the boy did not have the right to maintain such an action against his father. In taking this position the New Hampshire court follow ed what is probably the ma jority opinion. This rule was first established by a case from Mississippi during the latter part of the last cen tury. At that time there was not a widespread use of liabil ity insurance. The Mississippi court explained that to per mit minor children to sue their parents would disrupt family harmony. The court pointed out that the parents still had the obligation to care for such children and that it would be very bad public policy to permit such inter ferences with the family unit and relations. Writers on the subject have approved of the position of the Mississippi court for that day and time. Many, however, think that th.e rule no longer .protects fam ily, harmony and now protects only insurance companies that have been paid to take such risk. Thus, the "family har mony" rule does not apply in all cases. Girl Injured on Bus A 1932 case in West Vir ginia involved a 16-year-old school girl who was injured while riding on a school bus operated by her father. The father was paid to furnish and operate the bus. Heiad used i a makeshift water hose which came loose and sprayed hot water on his daughter. The girl became frightened and jumped from the bus and broke her ankle. The father and the school board carried a policy of insurance to pro vide protection in the' event of such injuries. The father, in his - agreement with the school board, had promised to keep the bus in "good re pair." It was clear that had the injury occurred to a child other than the child of the driver, the company would have been obligated to pay. The insurance company re sisted payment however, on the ground that the injured girl could not bring an action against her own father. The court held that, the girl was entitled to bring the action and recover damages. It point ed out that the loss would be paid by an insurance com pany that had received com pensation for taking the risk. The court recognized that the rule had existed denying such recovery in order to preserve family harmony. However, the court said, family har mony would not be destroyed and so the rule should not apply where the reason for the rule fails. The Medical by I recently received a grati fying letter from . a woman who was so grateful for one of myTecent columns that she said she felt she just had to stop her housework to send me a note of thanks.

Imagine my. surprise and delight yesterday morn ing, when, as my husband said goodbye at the door, he added, 'I hope you have , no other 'date for tonight, as I would love to take you out for dinner.' ; "Although almost speech less with shock, I managed to say that I would do my best to get out of any other en gagement and would be most happy to go with him. When it was nearly time for him to get home. I had the children all fed - the neighbor's dauh ter installed as baby-sitter -and Bad made myself as beau tiful as I could. When he op ened the door, instead of the usual husbandly peck, and a grunt of weariness, he said, 'My, you look pretty - all fix-ed-up. I like your new hair do.' Then he said he was tak ing me to the most lovely of the many beautiful restau rants in our big city a place I had longed to see. Starting out in a taxi, we had a happy time - not one word of bus iness or household troubles just us two, having fun, like when we were engaged. One result of this wonderful eve ning was that this morning nothing about the household routine seemed boring or hard to take. Now, I am hop' ing that other men have taken to heart your kindly 'scold ing' and that many other wives have found how true it is that life is fun and work easy when the .husband un derstands how' much a "night- ouf means." . ; Cancer Can Ba Curable I get. letters from people who scold me for having said that cancer is incurable. They could not have read me care fully, because I have never said that cancer was incur able - and I never will. If person will only have his (her) cancer cut out quickly by a surgeon, he will have a good chance of getting well and staying well. The trouble wth most people is that after getting typical symptoms of cancer, they wait for six months or a year before they do much about it. Then, of course, their chances of get ting well are very small. What I have been saying is that cancer which is scattered all over a person is not likely to be cured by any treatment we now have. . . ine fact tnat cancers can now be cured in animals by certain drugs is very hopeful, and it may be that before long we will have a drug that will help some types of can cer in man. As I keep saying in this column, there are many types of cancer and hence, there is not likely to be any one cure for the dis sease. Almost certainly we will have to have at least a dozen drugs to treat different types of cancer.. When good kind people send me the advertisement of some quack who claims to have cured an occasional, case of cancer, I could tell them of many cases I have seen in which a woman with what ap peared to be a hopless cancer of the , breast or the womb was alive five years later in spite of the fact that she had had no good treatment. Occas ionally a cancer quack gets much credit because he gets hold of a patient who has what looks like a sarcoma (a kind of cancer). This type is often highly malignant, but every so often, a tumor which even under the microscope, looks like a typical 'sarcoma, will not grow, and will not kill the patient For 15 years or more, I knew well a man who had had his "thigh and leg on one side removed for a sarcoma. It came back in his groin, and then, for some unknown reason, never grew. If he had only gone to a quack, his "cure" would have been worth hundreds of thou sands of dollars to the man in the way of advertising.
