MAIL TRIBUNE, Mcdforrf, Or. Thursday, July 16, 1959 The Family Council Editor's not: Th Family Counci consists ot m judge, a psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newipaper editor a women's editor and two writers. Each article Is a summary of an actual report. The Family Council does not five advice; It merely report on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agendo an4 otmsalors. Mrs. J. F. Eunice's friend is a bad influence. Eunice F. She's different- I want experience. Mrs. J, F. My husband and I are very worried about our 21-year-old daughter, Eunice. For the past-year she has been going around with a girl aoout wnom mere nas Been unpleasant talk in the com munity. This girl is said to have been involved in some sort of scandal in her home community. She came here last year to stay with her aunt and uncle. Our daughter met her at a secretarial school and they've been fast friends ever since. Since she has met this girl, Eunice has gone out with all kinds of men who are not like those she used to know through school or our family friends or church. I'm not say ing anything against them, but after all, many of them are not of our faith and I can't see why Eunice should want to spend time with them. She says she intends to marry in our faith, i - Eunice F. My parents are so narrow and small town in their outlook. I hope I'll never become like that. I don't con sider myself irreligious or im moral just because. I want to get to know different kinds of people. Z This girl, Nora, Is different from any of the girls I've ever Known. I certainly don't think she is immoral, but she says she wants more out of life .than to just settle down to an everyday routine with a batch of kids. She wants to be an actress and she says riext year she is going to New York or Hollywood. - My mother just can't wait for me to marry and settle down and be like everyone else here. I want to marry, but I want a little experience of -life first. My mother says this is all because of the influence of "that awful girl," but that's not so. The Council: It is easy for i parents to blame some under- sired attitude in their young on any outside influence us ually a companion. They over look" the fact that their young ster sought out just that com panion from many different possibilities and that there were real reasons for this choice. ' In this case, Eunice is no child, but it seems- that her parents regard her as much and she is childlike in many of her attitudes. She apparent ly feels as much under her mother's thumb . as she did when she was a little girl. She is filled with timid longings and daydreams, but she does not assert herself by reaching out for something real with which to enlarge her life. In stead she romanticizes through Nora and encourages the girl in what are probably some very idle illusions. Nora, too, is apparently childlike and pretty , much of a dreamer. It is one thing for a 13-year-old girl to talk of being an actress and quite' a different thing for a girl of 21. At that age Nora should have a pretty good idea of how she is going to get about this difficult business. She should be well launched in her training and have had a few minor jobs in the field A girl of 21 who talks of run ning off to New York or Holly wood and just becoming an ac tress is a menace to nobody so much as herself. Eunice is probably the harmful influ ence by encouraging her in these fantasies. The J. F.'s ought to try to get over some of theUr fears about what the big outside world might do to harm their little girl, but Eunice should try to help the process by doing some growing up.
