I860 16 Court Rejects Seattle Pair's liqious Plea - Washington - (UPD - The Su preme Court has rejected the appeal of a Seattle couple who refused for religious rea sons to send their daughter to public school. The brief order leaves standing a decision last Jan, 25 by the State Supreme Court that the teaching the youngster, now IS, has been receiving from her mother docs not conform with the state education law. They are faced with the necessity of making other arrangements, Interested in Church The parents, William and Maude Wold, moved to Seat tle from Colorado in 1952 be cause of their interest in the Seventh Elect Church in Spiritual Israel.

Trouble in School Alta Lee and an older sis ter, Freda Mae, had trouble In school because they follow ed these teachings.

Johnson apparently lipped and tumbled from a third floor porch to a porch on the second floor. Conversation Linens Pearl S.-We lost our friends because I told the truth. John S.-She should apolo gize. Piarl S.-I am terribly upset about a problem involving some of my closest friends. My husbund and I have been friends with the D's for nearly 12 years. They have a young teen age daughter who is studying ballet dancing, it happens that I studied ballet for several years and even danced professionally a short time before my marriage. My friends asked my opin ion of their daughter's danc ing and whether they should encourage her to go ahead with her plans to study danc ing full time instead of going to college. I advised against it. I pointed out that the girl hasn't the right build for a dancer and her teachers have been taking them all for a ride by encouraging her. Since then they've hardly spoken to us. My husband says I was in the wrong. John S.-Pearl sets great store by her honesty and says she'll never be afraid to come out with the truth, but I al ways tell her people don't want to hear the truth. They would much rather hear something pleasant and flattering. The D's are nice people and we really miss their compan ionship. Pearl knew they set so much store by their daugh ter's talents. Also, the girl herself was very hurt by Pearl's remarks-which she overheard. I feel that Pearl ought to apologize to the D's, but she says there is nothing to apolo gize for. They asked for an honest opinion and she gave it to them. She meant no harm. Friends have told us the D's say Pearl is frustrated in her own ambitions and that's why she wouldn't en courage another young girl. Now Pearl thinks they ought to apologize. The Council-It's true that most people prefer approval and flattery to truth from their friends. That doesn't mean we must all become liars. We should be aware of the old question of what is the truth. Opinions often vary, even among experts, and it is obvious that none of us can lay claim to abso lute knowledge. Knowing that both the girl and her parents had made a large investment and had high hopes for a dancing ca reer, Pearl was unwise to take upon herself the responsibil ity of such a definite state ment about the girl's future. She could have been both honest and wise if she had been a bit evasive and said they ought to get advice from other people working in the field-aside from the girl's teachers. The fact is that some danc ers manage to achieve a meas ure of success despite some physical handicap. Also, a teenage girl is still In the de velopment stage. Her body may change greatly within the next few years. Are apologies In order? It might be even better if Pearl would say she has given more serious thought to the matter and recommends that the D's get a few more opinions from individuals active in the field. We don't think Pearl ought to seek an apology from the D's for what they said be cause they were obviously talking out of a sense of deep hurt. Their statement was no more unwise than Pearl's -and could be just as true. No doubt they believe they were also stating the simple truth. (Copyright 1960, General Features Corp.)
