Belli an nounced Thursday he reached a S300.000 settlement with Greyhound Lines on behalf of a Montana youth who lives a "vegetable existence" because of a bus accident. The attorney said the set tlement for 19-year-old ex-sol dier Fred J. Leavitt, Boze man, Mont., was the largest ever reached in California. - Leavitt was a passenger on a Greyhound bus traveling over the Donner Pass of Cali fornia's Sierra Nevada on Oct. 3, 1958, when it skidded broadside into a truck. "He will live a vegetable existence the rest of his life," Belli said. "He can't see. He is conscious only in the sense that he responds like a sun flower, turning his head to light. He can barely be under stood when he talks. He suf fered epilepsy, but seizures are controlled." The Family Council Editor's Note: The Family Council consists of a Jndge, a psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers. Each article is a summary of an actual -ase history. The Council reports on problems that nave been dealt wl a by responsible agencies and counselors. A quarter of the 13 million natives who live in the Bel gian Congo have abandoned their tribal villages deep in the jungles. They have moved into towns. Beatrice K.: My sister's children are spoiled. Eva R.: She just knows what she reads in books. Beatrice K.: I am a 19-year-old college student living with my married sister and her family, to be nearer school without the expense of board ing there. I am planning to be a teach er and am very interested in child-rearing. I feel that my sister, Eva, is making a lot of mistakes with her young sters. The three of them, aged 5 through 10, are very spoiled.' They have no responsibility and get their way in every thing. Recently, the 10-year-old boy broke a store window. The storekeeper demanded payment and my brother-in-law paid. I think the boy should have been forced to raise the money through odd jobs and pay for it himself. My sister thinks I don't know a thing about children. Eva R.: Beatrice just knows what she reads in books and doesn't have any practical sense about raising children. She makes things hard by cri ticizing what I do all the time. The children look up to her now and give me argu ments. , When our boy broke the window he was scared to death. The storekeeper told him he'd have him put in jail. The boy hid out all day and was going to run away from home. I thought he had been pumshed enough. We told him he must be more careful I think he has learned his les son. I give the children some re sponsibilities at home. They have to pick up their own toys, but I don't like them helping me in the house be cause it always gives me twice as much work. The Council: One of the first notes Beatrice ought to put in her child-rearing note book is that no outsider should ever attempt to under mine a child's confidence in his parents. If Beatrice has something to say about her sister's handling of a particu lar situation, she should do it in private. Aside from this, however, Beatrice has a valid point when she places great em phasis upon the development of a sense of responsibility. It is true that her knowledge is somewhat theoretical and doesn't take into account many important emotional factors. In the case of the 10-year-old boy, for example, we think Eva was right in her desire to ease his fears. The window was probably broken accidentally and the boy had obviously taken some punish ment from the mere threats the storekeeper made. It was important, first of all, to let him know that if he was in trouble his parents would stand by him. Once the fact or his par ents' loyalty had been estab lished, however, the oppor tunity to instill a deep les son in responsibility might have been taken. At 10, a boy is pretty young to have to take odd jobs to pay for a window, but his parents J might have helped with part I of the money and given him some jobs at home to pay for the rest. The lesson would have imprinted itself deeply and the boy would have felt some pride in his own ability to fulfill an obligation. Every parent will agree with Eva that children's "help" in the home often cre ates twice as much work for Mother. Yet we think it is important to insist upon a certain amount of such help. We agree with Beatrice that the development of a sense of responsibility in children is Cranberry Scare' Said Undue Alarm Chicago-fflPD-The editor of the Journal of the American Medical association today ac cused the government of un duly alarming the American people about cranberries, charcoal and chickens. Dr. John H. Talbott made the accusation in an editorial entitled "Cranberries, Char coal and Chickens" in the current Journal. "If turnips and cabbage were among the vegetables served or mustard was used as a con diment, minute quantities of aminotriazole might have been ingested by the pilgrims more than 300 years ago," he write. Aminotriazole was the cancer-producing weed killer used on cranberries that led the government to impound them shortly before Thanksgiving. MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or.
