Mri. B.N. Sue should have
told me this long ago.
Sua N. Mother makes a
luss about everything.
-
Mr. B.N. Is it natural for
an 18-year-old girl to keep ev
erything to herself, not letting
her own mother in on import
ant matters affecting her?
I recently overheard a con
versation between my daugh
ter, Sue and her friend. From
What I could get in snatches
I gathered that a much older
man, a long-time friend of the
family had been making ad
vances to her.
I was just furious about
this! There she sat telling
her girl friend something I
should have known long ago.
I have given this man so much
hospitality and he dares to
try a thing like that! Sue has
begged me not to say any
thing. She claims .she can
handle it. But I'm seeing red.
Sue N. It's just because
Mother always acts up that
I don't like to tell her things
She makes a big fuss over ev
ery little thing. I'm not a lit
tle girl and I don't think I
should be forced to discuss
every personal thing with her
The man wasn't obnoxious
in his advances. He didn't
make a pass or anything like
that. He just suggested that
we ought to get together some
time. He said he'd like to
know me better. I met him
once for lunch and he was
very gentlemanly. He said
he'd like to take me to the
theater some evening, but I
was very busy at that time
and he said he'd be in touch
with me. That's all there was
The man is a bachelor of
"40. "Is there harm in seeing
him? ,
The Council: It is very fool
ish for parents to. pressure
adolescents into making con-
fidences. For one thing, it
can t be done. If they decide
to keep a secret they'll do it.
Pressure makes them feel
, they are being spied upon and
they'll go to extremes to pre
serve their privacy.' When as
sured, more certain of their
own independence, they may
once again confide in parents.
In this case, it is. fairly ob
vious that Mrs. B.N. hasn't
fully understood the informa
tion she gained by eavesdrop
ping. Sue has apparently en
couraged this man. She may
even have initiated the ad-
- vances in a subtle way; Na
turally she doesn't want her
mother to interfere.
We gather that Sue found
it necessary to boast to her
girl friend about this exploit,
Possibly she is merely play
ing what to her is a very ex
citing game. Yet it could have
serious sequences.
Now that the secret is out,
we believe that Mrs. B.N.
should caution her daughter
against further involvement,
It may not help to say any
thing to the man if Sue is de
termined to go on with this
game. It is far more import
ant for Sue to make up her
mind to avoid a relationship
that cannot have a happy outcome.
We think that if Sue had
happy relationships with
young men of a suitable age,
" she would be far less in
trigued by this older man.
These parents should encour
age her to involve herself in
more social activities with a
suitable group of young peo
ple. They should openly ob
serve her more and intrude on
her privacy less. Sue will
give many clues to her real
feelings. When she sees that
her parents understand with
out prying, she may feel
more encouraged to talk over
her problems with them..

Portland Plant

Portland - (UPD - Pickets to
day continued to patrol the
Union Carbide Metals Co,
plant here. The plant was
closed Saturday night by a
strike of local 3103 of the
United Steelworkers of Amer
ica.
The walkout idled 152
workers.
The strike began when a
three-year . contract with the
company ended Saturday.
Union officials rejected a com
pany offer to extend the con
tract 60 days while negotia
tions on a new pact could be
continued.
E. L. Hix. plant superin
tendent, said the union re
jected the offer because the
same offer was not made to
another local on strike at an
other of the firm's plants in
