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.

Small Worlds

' 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.
A day later a hungry black

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. Pos
sibly she had a long ran?e

LOST TIME REPORT

working time was lost because
of strikes in September than

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
