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. When I was 14
was too busy with school-
work and sports to sit around
mooning over men. The way

riage.
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.

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

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.

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.
