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,

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.
