1 A MAIL TRIBUNE. MeJforrf. Or. 1W Thursday, Au9. 13, 1939 Family Council SUwarl J-Our boy dreams too much. Eihtl J .-Some of the great est men have been dreamers. SUwart J.-My wife and I re in disagreement about how to handle our 15-year-old , son. Joel is a dreamer. He al ways has been, but now it's ; worse than ever. He just goes off in the middle of a con versation. He looks at you blankly and sort of smiles and you can see that he isn't lis tening to a word. J know that he must do the same thing at ; school because his marks are poor in spite of his intelli , gence. A teacher once told us he is above average. I feel that he must be forced into more activities sports, mainly. There is nothing like it for bringing a man out of himself. He resents all my suggestions and his mother sides with him. I feel that she's doing him a lot of dam age. Ethel JWhat's the matter with being a dreamer? Some - of our greatest men have been dreamers. I feel that Joel will amount to something ; some day. I always remem ber what the teacher told us. A lot of great men had poor marks in school. - - Joel just isn't like other boys in most respects. He doesn't like sports and gets very sore when his father nags him about it. If he en joyed these things I would be very happy, but I don't think he should be forced in to anything. My husband treats Joel as though he were a problem child and I think this is very bad. He is our only child and we should be careful to avoid making too much of a fuss about him. He's a good kid. He'll grow out of his daydreaming. Tho Council: Most adoles cents daydream. It can't be considered a serious problem unless it starts taking the place of too many other things in a child's life. In this case, we get the im pression that Joel is veering in this unhappy direction. An ; even more dangerous sign in the picture is the mother's ! daydreaming. There is a pos sibility that Joel dreams so much because he is beginning - to fear he can't fulfill his , mother's dreams for him in ' Teal life. Ethel must try to come out : of her dream and recognize that daydreaming plus poor marks are not necessarily signs of greatness. The so called dreams of many great men involved a good deal of solid thinking. . When . the dreams are of this sort they usually manifest themselves in the dreamer's lively inter- est in many things in life. -Another type of dream is a kind of wishful thinking game with the dreamer fant- tasying himself in some bet ter, more powerful some ex citing situation than he occu- . pies. For children and ado lescents such dreams are sometimes the spur to future action. : In some youngsters, however, the dreams become the be-all and end-all. The child becomes increasingly . withdrawn from the chal lenges of real life. Apparently Ethel has fal len into this dangerous pit. For some reason life has been a disappointment to her. In stead of struggling to find the missing element in her life and making an effort to sup ply it, she daydreams of find ing some satisfaction through the "greatness"of her son. She has placed a most unhappy burden upon him. This boy badly needs un-i out some of his real abilities. Forcing him into sports isn't the answer. A way must be found to discover some of his i dormant inclinations. Then he should get some help and en couragement in developing : these inclinations further. (Copyright 1959.

ButlerThreatens To Shift Demo Convention Site in Ticket Feud Washington - (LTD - Demo crat ic National Chairman Paul M." Butler, will fly to Los Angeles today in. an effort, to settle the hassle over the dis tribution of tickets for the party's 1960 cbnvention there. Butler has warjied that he will consider shifting the con vention frpnr Los Angeles un less the dispute is settled by Monday. A spokesman said Butler will meet with Mayor Norris Poulson of Los Angeles, a Re publican, and . Democratic leaders. However, he has no firm schedule and his length of stay in Los Angeles will depend on how the situation develops. He made his threat of a possible convention shift Wednesday. Ultimatum 'Hogwash' Frank G. Bonelli, chairman of the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors, branded Butler's ultimatum "h o g w a s h." He said Butler would be "the laughing stock of the, whole nation" if he made good the threat. "I don't think he'd dare," Bonelli said. But Paul Ziffren, Cali f o r n i a Democratic national committeeman, said he feared the hassle over tickets for the convention was so serious that Los Angeles might lose the 1960 meeting. A spokesman for the na tional committee said Butler notified the California Demo crats by telephone Wednesday that the matter "must be set tled very promptly." He said Butler "will reopen the ques tion of where the convention goes" if the ticket fight is not patched up by Monday. New Bids Expected The national committee se lected Los Angeles as the con vention site Feb. 27 over Chi cago, Philadelphia, New York City, Miami Beach and Atlan tic City, N.J. Butler's spokes man said the losmg cities could submit their old bids or new ones if the feud were not settled. The squabble appeared solved Wednesday after the host committee at Los An geles agreed to a compromise worked out by Poulson which Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF A CANNY BOOKSELLER in Wisconsin, hooked with fifty copies of a 900-page novel, inserted this ad in- the morning paper: "Millionaire, handsome, wishes to meet, with a view to marriage, a girl who be haves just like the heroine in .James So-and-rso's new novel." By nightfall the book seller was out of stock! Girls seeking fame in Holly wood might hearken to this bit of advice from one who made the grade: "Clear your complexion, learn how to en ter a room, buy & sexy ward robe and first thing you know, youH be married, have half a dozen kids, and forget the whole silly business." i No Secretary of the Treasury should play golf, says Bob Hope. "When he steps up to a. tee," says Hope, "he'll get to thinking about the budget and will begin slicing." 1953. by Bennett Cert. Distributed by King Features Syndicate.

Esti mates of seats in the new Sports Arena range from 16,000 to 20,000.

Asked about Butler's "ul timatum," Pauley said: "When you issue an ulti matum, you must have the sovereignty. I'm not sure that Butler has-but even a sov ereign has no right to renege on his word.

Senate Democrats Discuss Defeat Of Veto Override Washington - HTD Senate Democrats disputed among themselves today over wheth er they should have made the unsuccessful attempt to over ride President Eisenhower's veto of their housing bill. The vote to override was 55-40, or 9 short of the re quired two-thirds majority. The differences were aimed as the Senate Banking Com . mittee began drafting new legislation to replace the SI, 375,000,000 measure which the President vetoed on grounds it ' was extravagant and inflationary. Eisenhower Objects -A $1,050,000,000 substitute was drawn up by a subcom mittee last week.- Eisenhower has voiced objections to four or five provisions of' the pro posed new bill, complicating the committee's problem. Senate Democratic Leader. Lyndon B. Johnson chided some members of his party for pressing to override when, he said, they knew they would lose. As to a suggestion that fail ure to reverse the veto Wed nesday "may result in poli tical gain to the Democrats,' he said: "I don't think so. Strategically Wise Several other Democrats i said the effort to override was strategically wise, despite its failure. Sen. Gale McGee (D-Wyo.) said "this puts the blame where it belongs-in the White House." Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) agreed but also said that the result vindicated Johnson, who "had been under heavy attack from cer tain Democratic senators of his own party to try to enact stronger housing bill." At Gettysburg where he is vacationing, Eisenhower was reported "quite pleased" that his veto was sustained.
