"My Back Was Can you pass this family happiness test? ( Continued) Who should be boss? Social scientists have found that a dominant (but not too domineering) husband generally pro duces a better-adjusted family than one in which the wife is boss. But the tendency, in American life is toward marriages in which both parents share the burden of decisions. In these deci sions, each member of the family can participate when it's appropriate. When a child takes part, it increases his secur ity and feeling of belonging. Between marriage partners, there should be an interdependence and a cer tain amount of independence. While it's good for them to share interests, each should respect the other's preference. If a husband likes golf, his wife bridge, and their son basketball, there still can be unity without uniformity. "Togeth erness" can be overdone. Each person ality adult or child should be permit ted to develop and flourish. One way to find the right answers to sound family living is to leam how to talk things over. This is the art of communication, through which you get others to understand your thinking. In talking things over, you must create an atmosphere in which conflicts are re solved, compromises reached. Never do anything that makes it impossible for your mate to "save face" and thus cut off communication with each other. Frequently I hear of couples who can't seem to discuss their children's prob lems without stirring up a fracas. Johnny is behaving badly at school. When his mother starts to talk it over with her husband, he brushes her off. "That's your department," he says. "Mine is the office." This "I-don't-want-to-hear-about-it" lack of cooperation usually does not promote family harmony. What should you expect from family life? Home should be a place where everyone finds a chance for emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and social development. There's a division of tasks and responsibilities that helps children understand the roles they'll play in later life. A strong family gives each person a sense of excitement and adventure, pride and hope. Family living is made up of love, laughter, joy, and work, of agreement and conflict, frustrations and tears. It is never entirely easy, but the rewards can be great. After all, our family is the greatest force in shaping us, determin ing the kind of people we are and the type of citizens our children will be . You're familiar with the slogan, "See your doctor once a year." Why not ap ply this idea to a home-life checkup every once in a while? Nothing could be more important than your family. Paul Revere Puzzle Helen Hudson Find His Colleague William Dawes, Two Other Minute Men, and Three British Soldiers. Solution of Magic Button Trick: You hurry back into the room and look at his hands immediately. Pick up the button and pretend to study it, while you see which of his hands is whiter than the other. The whiter hand held the button, because holding it over his head for the length of time necessary to recite the rhyme makes the blood leave the hand. It becomes pale. When placed beside the other, the difference is noticeable at once. But look quickly, the blood returns fast.
