The Family Council Editor's Note: The Family Council consists of Judge, m psychiatrist, three clergymen, a. newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers. Each article is a summary of an actual rase history. The Council reports on problems that have been dealt wlta by responsible agencies and counselors. Alice J. - My parents are bigots. Mrs. F.J. - We only want them to marry within their faith. Alice J. - I am 19 and a freshman at college. I am rooming with the most mar velous girl at school. We have more fun together than either of us has ever had. This girl, Edna, happens to be of a different religion from mine. I brought her home with me a couple of week ends and my family loved her too. But when my brother started dating her, a storm broke. My brother says he isn't ready to get married and he can't afford to let himself get serious about Edna, but my parents are in an uproar. They don't want either of us to date outside of our faith and my mother says she doesn't want me associating closely even with girls outside my religion. If that isn't bigotry, I don't know what is. Mrs. F.J. - Neither I nor my husband is a bigot. We have nothing against people of any other religion and feel that there are good and bad in all faiths. But we are op posed to mixed marriages and we feel that interfaith dating leads to just that. We expected to get our children's cooperation in this because we have made few de mands on them. We didn't force any more religion on them than they seemed in clined to want. However, we always stressed the impor tance of marrying within one's own faith. We have known several bad interfaith marriages and don't want the tragedy repeated. The children say they won't marry out of their faith, but dating is different. We say dating is preparation for mar riage. The Council: This is a tricky problem and we are most sympathetic with the points of view of both - parents and children. It is true that dating is preparation for marriage and that interfaith dating leads to many mixed mar riages. On the other hand, we can't blame open - hearted, open-minded young people for liking or wanting to get to know and understand others outside their group. Our schools, which empha size the ability to get along with members of different races and religions, give youngsters lots of opportunity to meet and socialize and it is difficult for a warm, f riendly person to draw an invisible line about another and say "We can go so far, but no further." The best answer we can give is that the positive ele ments in any young person's background are far more im portant than the negative ones in establishing his attitudes. If a youngster is brought up with a good understanding of the meaning of his own faith, he will want to perpetuate it in himself and his children. If he is brought up within a close - knit family group where common values and in terests are stressed, he will want that kind of home for himself. He will not want to take the risk of linking his future to someone brought up with a very different outlook. We think the F.J.'s are a little late with their warnings about interfaith marriage. If they had brought up their children with strong emphasis upon their religion, they could feel that at least the youngsters would know what they are risking when they risk losing their religious identity. We don't think the -F.J.'s should press their children to give up their friends of other religions, but should urge them to participate more in the activities sponsored by their own group.

B Sunday, Feb. 28, 1960 Teamsters Plan Court Petition Miami Beach - (DPD - The Teamsters Union will petition federal court to force court appointed monitors to meet with the union's executive board, according to James Hoffa. Until such a meeting is held, Hoffa said, the union will refuse to obey orders from the monitors who were appointed to oversee opera tion of the nation's biggest union. Hoffa, in a news conference here, accused the monitors of deliberately obstructing any action which would end the monitorship. He said the monitors have refused to meet with the union to discuss an 18-point program which the union says would clear the way for an end to the tenure of the monitors.

Mark Hatfield said Friday that ne gotiations to make the Board man bombing range in Mor row county available as a site for a "Space Age Industrial Park" were proceeding with the Navy and the executive branch of the government. Hatfield, in a release dis tributed by the State Depart ment of Planning and Devel opment here, said Oregon was negotiating to acquire the 96,000 -acre bombing range through an exchange of state lands. He said the exchange being worked out through ad ministrative procedures would enable the Navy to meet its operational needs elsewhere while making the Boardman site available for industrial development. The governor said a press release by Sen. Richard Neu berger (D-Ore.) "mistakenly implies that the Navy is op posing transfer of the bomb ing range." He said hearings before a sub-committee of the House Armed Services Committee, referred to by Neuberger, relate to transfer of the Board man range from the Air Force to the Navy and are not di rectly involved in state acqui sition of the land. Hatfield said Rep. Walter Norblad (R-Ore.), a senior member of the House commit tee, was making sure Oregon's interests in the matter are protected fully. Hatfield recalled that ear lier this year he wrote all members of Oregon's Con gressional delegation asking their cooperation in returning the Boardman range to pro ductive use. He added that members of the Department of Planning and Development conferred with all members of the delegation to develop the most workable and expe ditious method of obtaining release of the range. The land exchange method was decided upon as the best procedure as a result of these meetings, the governor said. Hatfield added that "ill-advised moves at this stage could jeopardize the success ful outcome of negotiations and cost the state an oppor tunity to move into the mis sile age.',' , Telephone Workers Get Service Pins Three traffic department employees of Pacific Telephone-Northwest in Medford were presented service em blems at a luncheon recently in the traffic department lounge.'
