The Family Council Editor's Note: The Family Council consists of a Judge, a psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers. Each article is a summary of an actual case history. The Council reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors. ' y Rose M - He must tell me about his breakdown. Allen M. - It's all history. - Rose M. - My husband and I have been married 15 years. We have four children and we are considered an ideal mar ried couple. But' our friends and "neigh bors don't know the misery that goes on beneath the sur face in our home. You see, I learned after marriage that there has- been a history of mental illness in Al's family and that he had a nervous breakdown at one time. ' I learned about " all this when I was pregnant with our first child. I realized it was too late to do anything about my marriage. I was trapped. Now I am constantly worried about the children. One of the boys has a ' very emotional temperament and our eldest daughter is extremely quiet and brooding. My husband has never given me the full details of. his breakdown. He has no right to . keep this to himself. Allan M. - Rose has built a tremendous case out of our "family history of mental ill ness," but there really isn't that much to it. My mother was in an institution for a few months in her middle age. The doctor, said the causes were mainly physical. I also have a first cousin who has been in stitutionalized for years. It is true that I had a break down from overwork when I was in college, competing for scholastic honors and working part time. But I never felt that these things built up into a family history of mental disease: When I saw, how hard Rose took these things I didn't want to discuss them with her. I had a very bad year of it during my breakdown and I hate to talk about it. Besides, it's all history. I am also beginning to wor ry about the children, but how would going over, the past help them? The Council: Rose's interest in and fear of the "history of mental illness" in her hus band's, family seem morbid and far too intense. Her brood ing anxiety about the chil dren is extremely harmful to them and could easily become the cause of a serious mental or emotional disturbance. ; All of us are prone to spot in others the very faults or weaknesses to which we be lieve we are most subject. Our fears for others sometimes mask fear about ourselves or hostilities toward them. When fear is rational we usually try to do something about it - we don't , just brood. There is something Rose can and should do about her fears. She should see a psy chiatrist. From him she can get more information and understanding of mental ill ness in general.- He can no doubt make her feel easier about the illpesses in her husband's family. If she has no more to go on than the in formation in Allen's state ment, her fears are way out of proportion. Secondly, Rose should find out why she " is so troubled about mental illness. She has some emotional disturbance, but she should recognize that this is not quite so horrible a weakness as she imagines. Most of us suffer to some de gree from disturbances of this sort at one time or another during our lives, yet the pros pects for recovery are, in gen eral, good. - Thirdly, Rose must learn to handle her own -: problems better so she will not inflict them on her children and her husband. She could do a lot of damage to all of them in her present condition. lis Small Worlds Around Us ' By Lynn M. Watkins Out of 14 Only Four Hardy Ducks Survived - It would seem that one place was'as good as any other for a nest site, so long as it was near the water and suf ficient cover was available, but Mrs.' Duck demanded and expected something better. She may have figured so long as she had to do all the laying and most of the setting she could exercise a preference as to where it had to be done. By her actions is didn't ap pear as though she wanted to set at all. She apparently hated to face the responsi bility of being tied down with a family. tBut biological necessity sneaked up on her: the inevit able overtook her on her way to the pond. She was forced to lay an egg right in the path. The inner force of eggs that must be laid crowded her into a corner. She had to make up her mind,' so she hurriedly constructed a nest at the edge of the little pond and settled down to the long grind. Proved Good Mother Days later, out from the hard, limey capsules emerged 14 'yellow -and -black little balls of fluff. Mamma Duck proved to be a gpod mother. She clucked over the little ones, was solicitous of their welfare, and exceedingly care ful not to step on them with her big, flat feet. ' The training began the day the young were born." Only one of the 14 had to be pushed off the low bank into the water. The others plopped in without hesitancy or parental encouragement. Now the little ducks were exposed to all the dangers and perils of the outdoors. Turtles got three of them the first day.

One got himself tangled in a pond weed and strangled. It was a race between fate and growth. , Two disappeared during a night of storm and wind. Another wandered away and was caught by1' a prowling house cat. One was stepped on and crushed by a lumber ing drake who had become greedy while, trying to get to a feeding trough. .. . ' Even the. little duck's own father ran over them at times. He was a hard-hearted, short memoried philanderer who thought only of himself. Baby ducks to him were just some thing always underfoot. He didn't give a "quack" whether any of them survived. ' Fate Dealt Tough Hand Only four were left now. Fate had dealt the duck-mamma a. tough hand. So many enemies, such a big world, such tiny babies. With all the hazards they had to face it was doubtful it any of the, brood would ever reach adulthood; too many ob stacles and accidents. Disease, predators of a dozen kinds, trouble of some sort pn every hand lurk behind every bush' and tree." So small they, are, so ill - equipped to fight a cruel, heartless world. Fate had slowed the momentum of multiple birth down to almost a shattering stop. ? ',. Strangely, the duck-mamma didn't seem to mind.

But he denied flatly in a speech to 700 delegates to a Young Women's Christian As sociation' conference that de segregation was driving white families to the suburbs.

Per haps she looked' forward to another, lime, .not too' far-distant, when she would raise another family.: Maybe she expected the law of averages to cancel out some of the mis fortunes, and sooner or later she would bring a family to maturity. At least she had four left; on these she lavishedall her attention. Who can say but what this was really the "sur vival of the fittest" formula operating, "he remaining four would become better because the others had died to give the survivors an added advan tage.
