Each article ll a summary of an actual rase history. The Council reports on problems that havs been deals wl si by responsible agencies and counselors. Douglas J Musi I always be bothered with Betty? Mrs. L. J He has a re sponsibility toward his sister Douglas J. -I am 17 and and I have the misfortune to have a kid sister. Betty is 18, but nobody would know it. She behaves as if she were 12. My mother wants me to In clude Betty in everything I do. But she's such a pill, it always works out wrong. A couple of times I've gotten dates for her and she kept complaining afterward that the fellow did this or that she didn't like and she refused to go out with them again. Now I've been Invited to a party at the home of a girl I know. Nearly everyone will be there, but my mother doesn't want me to go because Betty hasn't been invited. A few of the fellows are bring ing their own dates, but they didn't ask Betty. Why can't I live my own life? e Mrs. L. J, I have tried again and again to explain to Doug that he has some responsibility toward his sis ter. She Is a lovely girl, but a little shy and awkward be cause of her height. I know what she Is going through because I had a sinv liar problem at her age. All the boys were Inches shorter and it was some time before they caught up. In the mean time I spent a lonely, miser able girlhood just dreaming about parties, dates and all the fun other girls were hav ing. 1 wasn't lucky enough to have brother, but I often wished for one. Betty just has to be drawn into the awing of things. Then she'll start corning out of her shell. She'll blossom out and Doug will be proud of her. see The Counclli We think Mrs. L. J. Is vrong to put this pressure on Doug both for bis sake and his sister's. Whether or not this situa tion is discussed fully In front of Betty, we are sure she Is aware ot what Is going on. It does her no good to be foisted on her brother as an unwant ed burden. She undoubtedly feels h is a bit abnormal, something of a "case" and a problem to herself and every one around her. Nearly every adolescent has uncertaintlea about his ap pearance and personality. The battle for popularity or social acceptance is one of the main ones of adolescence and must be fought through by the In dividual. A little boost here and there from a wise older person may be helpful, but the boost should be in the direction of helping the child to help himself rather than in doing a lot for him. Betty's problem Is one of the most common ones. Count less girls have gone through agonies because of it, but most eventually fight their way through. A few tears and heartaches may signal the start of a de cision to do something about it. "I will make up my mind not to think about it and make myself as attractive and as good a dancer as possible," say some girls. Others may aay, "I'll get into the dramatic society or the chornl group and I'll make so many friends that eventually I'm bound to meet someone taller who Just likes tall girls." Decisions like these forge character. The youngster who realizes he has fought his way through obstacles develops confidence and uses his Ini tiative a little more, pushing his way ahead In life a little farther each time. We think Betty's initiative and spirit are being taken away by an over-solicitous mother and an irritated brother. She should be encouraged to step out on her own to find social life In the many groups open to teenagers in every commun ity. (Copyright I960, General Features Corp.) LAUNCH MISSILE SHIP Bay City, Mich-WD - The third of four guided missile destroyers built by Da Foe Shipbuilding Co. on a $66 million contract slides down the ways today. The vessel will be commissioned the USS Robinson In November. Texas Woman, 74, Four-Year Veteran Of Golf, Vows To Break 100 By Age 75 Houston, Tex. - (UPD - Mrs. A. J. (Teresa) Schlll, who will be 75 next Sept. 5, is a verit able bundle of energy whose last thought la of the quiet rocking chair into which many younger persons al ready have settled in retire ment. Mrs. Schill, a pert grand mother, took up golfing at the age of 70, and today she blazes away almost every day in her determination to break 100 before her 75th birthday. She has been described as having the enthusiasm of a bobby-soxer, the gaiety of the 1920s, the optimism of the 30s, the attitude that life be gins in the 40s, the maturity of the 50s, and the winsome ness of the 60s - all rolled into one. Must Take It Easy Mrs. Schill, a five -footer who looks as if she is in her 40s, hesitantly went to Pine Forest Country Club golf pro fessional Dudley Bell four years ago and said: "Mr. Bell, am I too old to take up golf?" Bell told her she wasn't, but asked her to "promise you'll take it easy and not try to do too much at the beginning." She did, but after three les sons on the practice tee, the only time Bell saw her was when Mrs. Schill went through the pro shop before teeing off. Mrs. Schill is not a good golfer, carrying a handicap of 38. Her best score to date for Actor Testifies InAdland Case Los Angeles -JUPD- A Holly wood actor testified Wednes day that Mrs. Florence Ad land tried to persuade him to beat up a suitor of her daugh ter, Beverly, and offered him a $3,000 "bonus" if he killed the man. The witness, Bob Profela, 28, testified at a preliminary hearing on charges of contrib uting to the delinquency of her daughter, last playmate of the late actor, Errol Flynn. Deputy District Attorney Alex Kahanowicz asked what Mrs. Adland had promised him and Profeta replied: "She offered me $5,000." ARSENAL CATCHES FIRE Radford, Va.-IUPDA one-story brick building containing 13, 250 pounds of solid propellant for missiles at Radford Ar senal Tuesday caught fire dur ing an electrical storm. The missile fuel did not explode. 18 holes is 115, but she's de termined to break 100 before her 75th birthday. She sets a fast pace on the golf course, and often is so eager to hit the next shot she goes off and leaves her elec tric cart. Made Feet Larger Her only regret In golf is that it has made her feet larger. She wore a size 4Vi four years ago, but now takes a "big" size 5. Golf is Mrs. SchiU's only recreation now, but sports al ways have played a big role In her family. Her daughter Gladys, now Mrs. Phillip Davis, once dominated wom en's tennis in Houston. Her granddaughter, Elizabeth, 16, is a promising southpaw who beats Mrs. Schill every time they play. Mrs. Schlll can be found on the course at Pine Forest on the coldest days, the wettest days and the hottest days. And her infectious laughter rubs off on everyone around - regardless of how her shots go. Asked how she keeps up such a pace, Mrs. Schill said: "I owe it all to clean living. I neither drink nor smoke." With that, she stepped brisk ly off for a ninth hole to com plete her round for the day. 2. MAIL TRIBUNI, Medlord", Or.
