16 MAIL TKIIUNr, Medferd, Or. A Sunday, Nov. 29, 1959 Try and Stop Me rrs my RIGHT LiSf By BENNETT CERF- F)R MANY YEARS, historians have been trying to decide which leg it was that doughty old Peter Stuyvesant lost. Some New Amsterdam pictures portray him with a wooden Jeft leg; others show the peg on the right Today the Hotel As tor, in New York, plays it safe by banging two portraits in the Stuyvesant room: one depicts him with the left leg missing; the other without the right ." A- distinguished sur geon once sought permis sion to exhume Stuyve sant' s body to settle the argument once and for all,' but the -family de scendants were properly outraged. At long last however, Henry Kessler came upon an authentic Stuyvesant letter which states plainly, "I lost my right leg." And that's that! 7 Herbert Hoover reluctantly consented to pose for a pre-banquet photograph recently. When it was finished the photographer said jeproachfully, "You promised to smile for me." C- 'Confound it!" exploded Mr. Hoover. " I was smiling.' ' C by Bennett Cert distributed by Kins Features Syndicate. 5mO Eisenhower Will Find American Prestige in India Skyrocketed By THOMAS R.

Editor's Note: The Family Council consists of a Judge, a psychiatrist, thro clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers. Each article is a summary of an actual se history. The Council reports an problems that have been dealt wi a. by responsible agencies and counselors. Mrs. R. D.-He is a fool where monev is concerned. '. Bob D.-She thinks every one is a crook. . Mrs. R. - D. - My husband died last year, leaving his bus iness in my name. I am in my 60s and I want our sod to take over the full responsibil ity for the business as soon as possible. The problem is that Bob, who is 26, is very inexperi enced and wants to run the business his way or not at all. He is like a baby in business matters. He would give every thing away if things were left entirely to him. He is simply a fool where money is concern ed. T My husband worked hard to build up this business and I bate to see it go to ruin. Bob won't listen to a word I say. Bob D.-My mother's idea Hawaii Observes Admission Day With Celebration Honolulu -(UPD- The biggest parade ever held- in the is lands was Friday's highlight of the five-day official celebra tion of Hawaii's achievement of statehood. - V It was a marked step-up in the pace of things which started Thursday on a somber note of Thanksgiving in churches, cemeteries and pri vate homes. Kilauea Ike volcano on the Island of Hawaii offered the only disturbance in the other wise quiet day. The volcano broke a four-day silence short ly after midnight and joined the statehood celebration with ar6- hour eruption. It died down again at 4:35 p.m. Ball Scheduled Friday was officially Ad mission Day and it was a holiday for federal, state and city employees, as well as banks and many , business houses. The - statehood ball was held Saturday night at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, and -the holiday will reach a climax Sunday with an after noon of celebrating and speechmaking at Honolulu Stadium. ' Hotels were packed to ca pacity as streams of invited notables and tourists poured into Honolulu for the occas ion. Seaton Invited Among the invited VIPs were Secretary of Interior Fred Seaton, who helped en gineer the islands out of his control into statehood; five U.S. senators, several con gressmen, official representa tives of state governors, high ranking State Department of- . ficials, and foreign diplomats. - Friday the new s t a t e's youthful governor, William F. Quinn, 40, was grand marshal of the parade down Ala Moana blvd., which skirts the fcity and connects the down- : town waterfront district with Waikiki, some three miles distant. of being shrewd about bus iness is to suspect everybody of being a crook and act ac cordingly. I just can't do bus iness that way. . In my 'experience most peo ple are honest. I know there are exceptions, but I'd rather take my chances on an occas ional loss than have to oper ate on the assumption that I have to out-trick the next fel low before he out-tricks me. Mother says she wants me to take the full responsibili ty, but she throws up her hands and screams the minute I make a suggestion. She treats me like a three-year-old. I may be inexperienced, but I'm no moron. e - - The Council: Mrs. R. D.'s judgment of her son's bus iness abilities may or may not be justified, but' we can say for sure that she is taking the wrong tack if she wants hiiri to build up his ability as a businessman. No man can take "full re sponsibility" and at the same time have a woman shouting at him from the back seat in sisting that he is a fool and a baby. It's enough to rattle the nerves of an experienced driver, much less a beginner, On the other hand, we can not blame Mrs. R. D. for being concerned about the business which represents her own fu ture as well as her son's. If she is familiar with the bus iness and emotionally capable of giving advice in a calm, tactful manner, she should do so. Otbr -wise she should try to be stoic about things when she ' sees her son making a minor mistake. Let him make the mistake, then he'll learn a lesson which can't be taught by any amount of lecturing. The late Mr. R. D. undoubt edly made mistakes in his time, but was (we hope) for tunate enough to have nobody screaming "mistake" over him -both before and after, the event. It is natural for a mother to want to guide and help her son, but she must ac cept the fact that he has to do his own floundering and fall ing. If he has courage and ca pacity to learn, he 11 come through in the end. Bob, on the other hand, should try to avoid an over- emotional reaction to his mother's overemotional ex pressions. He should train himself to listen to the essen tials behind what she is say ing and try to evaluate her opinions objectively. He may be able to learn the easy way if he can keep a level head.

New Delhi (UPD President Eisenhower will find in his five-day visit here that U. S. prestige in India has sky rocketed to its highest point in the history of the two coun tries. Red China's Premier Chou-En-Lai can take part of the credit. The shock of the Tibetan revolt and Red China's creep ing aggression against India's borders have opened Indian eyes and lent a sense of ur gency to the President's five day visit. This, and Eisenhower's role in the seeming thaw of the cold war in Europe, add up to a warm welcome for the President, whom the villagers call "a man of peace from the land of multi-millionaires." Observers will be interested in comparing the warmth of Ike's reception with the en thusiastic welcome Nikita Khrushchev and Nikolai Bul ganin received when they barnstormed this country for three weeks in 1955. Indira Gandhi, daughter of Indian Prime Minister Jawa harlal Nehru, told United Press International she hoped Ike's reception would be as big as the Russians'. But she noted the shortness of the President's stay. Expects Warm Welcome She is Nehru's official host essess and she forecast a "very warm" reception for the Presi dent during his stopoyer. In an exclusive interview she told me "the entire country" has been waiting for an Eisen hower visit, Would Ike's reception match the 1955 welcome for Khru shchev and'Bulganin? "I cer tainly hope so," Mrs. Gandhi replied But it would be hard to compare the occasions, she said, because the Russians were the first important for eign visitors ever received by independent India, and they stayed longer. Chinese encroachment o n the Indian frontier has made the Indians appreciative of the friendship of the United States and America's military might. Nor is United States' friend ship for Pakistan so deeply resented now as a year ago when India and Pakistan grimly faced each other as enemies. Explanations that American defense e x pendi tures in Pakistan were strictly a Communist deterrent now are making sense in Delhi, Bombay and Calcutta. Aid Request Anticipated India is expected to ask for more economic aid, thereby freeing scarce foreign ex change for an anticipated in crease in defense expenditures to met the Chinese aggression. The President's unofficial program calls for his arrival here on the afternoon of Dec. 9 from Karachi, Pakistan, and Kabul, Afghanistan. On Dec. l(he will visit President Ra jenda Prasad and address a joint session ot the India parliament.

Gale Livingston, chairman of the Exposition Recreation Commission, said construction was on schedule with the completion date set for Nov. 1, 1960.
