Injured Youth Gets
$300,000Setllemen!
San Francisco -(UPD- Attor
ney Melvin M. 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.
