i Janet T. - They treat me
ke a child.
Mrs. L.T. - She's a strange
auticult girl.
'
Janet T. - I am 17 and
about to go into my senior
year at high school. I have a
summer job, which I have
been told I'm handling very
wen.
I think that because of my
age and the fact that I'm
practically independent, my
parents should learn to treat
me like a grownup. Instead,
they treat me like a 12-year-old.
My mother is worse than
my father. She criticizes
everything I do. I feel I should
be allowed to spend my hard
earned money any way I
please, but she always has
something to say about it. The
other day I bought some
clothes and she returned them
without even telling me. I
love my mother very much,
but sometimes I wish I didn't
have to live with her.
Mrs. L.T. - Janet is the
strangest, most difficult girl
I've ever seen. In many ways
she is sensible and mature,
but at times she acts even
younger than 12 years old.
We were proud of her for
having gotten a good job all
by herself and I was prepared
to let her use her money as
she liked, but she started
spending so foolishly I had to
interfere.
For example; she fell in
love with a particular kind of
shoe. She ordered it in seven
colors - even though she is so
uncomfortable in it she has to
hobble around. She knows
she is expected to buy part of
her school wardrobe for fall
with her earnings, but so far
she has saved practically noth
ing. She breaks into tears if I
point that out.
The Council: Although
Janet does appear to be more
uneven in her development
than most girls her age, she
sxhibits the typical lack of
balance that so unnerves the
parents of most teen-agers.
Since Janet has shown
enough judgment and sense
of responsibility to get and
hold a good job for the sum
mer, it is safe to assume she
has enough mental develop
ment to do much better at
spending than she has done.
From her actions as de
scribed by both herself and
her mother we get the im
pression that despite her de
mands to be treated like a
grownup she would really pre
fer to be treated like a little
girl. Like most teen-agers,
Janet finds the thought of
becoming an adult thrilling
and frightening. She still isn't
sure she'll ever make the
grade and she wants to remind
her parents that she is still
a child and needs their care.
Mrs. L. T. is not helping
her by playing into her hands
and treating her like a child.
Certainly, she should have
given her daughter her opin
ion of the seven pairs of
shoes, but she should have
dropped it at that. It would
have done Janet good to know
that nobody is going to fish
her out of her troubles. If
she buys seven pairs of un
comfortable shoes and finds
herself with no money for a
fal wardrobe, she should be
forced to live with the situa
tion. The L. T.'s shouldn't give
in to Janet's desire to be
treated like a child. Grad
ually, she will learn that it
is the essence of grown-upness,

To Be Taped For
National Release
Ashland - NBC Producer
Andrew C. Love is conducting
special rehearsals at the Ore
gon Shakespearean Festival
in Ashland preparatory to a
pair of far-ranging broadcasts.
Both shows-will be taped at
the Festival theater Saturday
starting at 1 p.m., and the
public is invited to attend
without charge.
Love and his wife have
been vacationing in the Rogue
valley since the Festival's
July 25 opening. He will sup
ervise both radio programs
and will stay an additional
week to produce complete
cast recordings of the entire
repertory season. ,
For the first year, all of the
shows will be captured on
tape in complete form, with
special microphone techniques
and studio control. In the past,
the plays- have been taped
during , performance. Extra
neous noises and varieties in
pick-up have , limited their
use. Many schools, colleges,
and radio stations have asked
for uncut recordings.
Nationwide Release
The 10th annual broadcast
for nationwide release on the
National Broadcasting com
pany will be excerpts from
Robert Loper's staging of
"The Taming of the Shrew."
It will be released from New
York at 5:06 p.m., Pacific
Standard Time, Monday, Aug.
15.
The special 60 minute radio
dramatization will be a cut
ting from Richard Risso's cur
rent production of "Richard
II." This program, distributed
privately by the Festival, will
be aired throughout the Unit
ed Stated and in many parts
of the world via Armed Forces
Radio.
Dress rehearsal is set for
10 a.m. Saturday. Gates open
for the public at 12:30 p.m.
and the broadcast session be
gins at 1 p.m. At 1:45, the
hour show will be recorded.
Special amplification equip
ment will make it possible for
the audience at the theater to
hear the entire process.-
not to worry about how one
is treated, but to act like an
adult.

Ignored by Family and
Friend this Duck Despaired
Ecnie and Meenie were two
female mallard ducks. They
looked alike, and both ap
peared to be rattlebrained;
they were always gabbling
when they should have been
listening. But, I suppose "mis
ery loves company," even
among ducks, for when the
time came to build their nests,
they decided to work togeth
er, as a team.
They sat side by side, and
between them they laid 37
eggs. It was impossible to tell
whose eggs were whose. When
one went to the water cooler
for a drink, or to gossip with
a neighbor about the events of
the day, the other duck shift
ed over and tried to cover all
the eggs. When the first one
returned, ' she pushed and
shoved until she felt the fa
miliar pressure of the eggs
under her: Then and only then
would she remain placidly
content. Whether either one
had all the eggs or just a few
made no difference.
The push-pull contest went
on for three or four weeks.
We who watched wondered
what the outcome was going
to be; one thing seemed cer
tain, the two ducks would
probably divide the family,
and everything would be just
"ducky."
An Explosion
Then one day the hatching
began; it was almost like an
explosion. First there was a
nest of eggs and suddenly the
eggs were empty and little
balls of golden fluff were run
ning everywhere. And each
fluff ball had two bright,
beady eyes, two legs, and a
desire to get going. It seemed
to be time for the division of
the harvest.
Eenie walked off and the
whole bevy of ducklings fol
lowed her. Meenie screamed
and raved. She half raised her
wings, and pursued the teem
ing family to the water's edge.
Eenie hurled vocal abuse over
her feathered shoulder, which
Meenie evidently understood.
In the duck world there had
occurred a catastrophe.
The next day was the same.
The little ducks followed
Eenie. Their other co-parent,
who had laid part of the eggs
and done an equal share of
the setting, got the cold
shoulder. Conditions wors
ened as the days passed.
Meenie accepted the hard
hearted abandonment with a
sadness that was evident in
every line of her being. She
refused to eat, and spent her
time setting under a bush; bill
partly open, wings half spread
and a look of abject forlorn
ness in every feather.
Ignored Her
Occasionally she quacked
plaintively, but she had
stopped trying to win back
her share of the family. Eenie
ignored her completely, she
paraded her enlarged family
past the sorrowing duck with
a scornful cruelty.
I had no way of knowing
how deep an emotion Meenie
was suffering. But a few days
later, I think I found out.
One morning, Meenie was
not under the bush; the little
depression in the sand was
empty. Later I found her, in
the pond, just a few feet from
the shore. She was motion
less; little ripples of water
U.S. Expected To Have Battle
In Obtaining Castro Sanctions
By LOUIS STEIN
Rio de Janeiro (UPD Diplo
matic sources here believe the
United States will have an up
hill battle in gaining any real
sanctions against Cuban Pre
mier Fidel Castro when the
Organization of A m e r i can
States (OAS) takes up the
two nations' differences on
Aug. 16.
The sources said the foreign
ministers who will sit down
at the meeting in San Jose,
Costa Rica - while sympathiz
ing with the United States -will
be reluctant to go on
record as censuring Castro
because they fear the reaction
at home if they do so.
An indication of how touchy
the problem is showed itself
in the wrangle over where
the meeting would be held.
No nation wanted to host it,
but finally, tiny Costa Rica
consented.
The diplomats feared a repi
tition of the rioting which in
terrupted the 1948 Bogota
Conference which wrote the
OAS charter. Castro himself
took part in these riots.
And, recent successful mob
action aimed at the United
States has encouraged Com
munists to come out into the
open. As one authority, said,
"you can bet your life they
will do all in their power to
sabotage the meeting."
Nationalists in Brazil and
other Latin nations feel Cas
tro is on the right track. Also,
they have little sympathy for
foreign investors whose prop
erty he confiscated.
South American middle-of-the-roaders
agree that Castro
has gone too far in suppress
ing Cuban liberties, but feel
that strong pressure from the
OAS will only alienate any
chance of wooing him back
into the Democratic camp.
U.S. envoys will be work
ing long into the coming
nights until conference time
seeking firm South American
commitments to stand behind
the Rio Mutual Assistance
Pact and the Caracas declar
ation. If they don't succeed,
they will be facing burgeon
ing Communist peril at their
back door.
But, the sources here said
it is highly unlikely that
Latins will agree to any dras
tic action against Cuba such
as joint intervention, OAS
quarantine or economic sanc
tions. They believe the ques
tion is more apt to be sent
to the OAS Peace Commis
sion - otherwise, the members
will adopt a wait-and-see atti
tude. Some influential Brazilians
regard the Cuban revolution
as an example of what can
happen throughout Latin
America unless the United
States give) top priority to
the vast development program
envisaged in President Jus-
celino Kubitschek's "Operatio
Pan-American."
Two years ago, Brazilians
warned of the danger of re
surgent right and left wing
dictators if the majority of
Latin Americans continued to
live in poverty.
Met With Coolness
President Eisenhower's re
cent announcement of an ex
panded Latin American aid
program was met here with
some coolness. Kukitschek
himself warned that "partial
or emergency assistance will
not suffice" in winning the
cold war in the Western Hemi
sphere. And, newspapers comment
ing on the announcement
worried whether the new aid
would be "too little and too
late." They also agreed that
the program reflected U.S. re
action to Cuba's Communist
leaning and Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev's declar
ation that Russia would usa
rockets to prevent the U.S.
from interfering in its foot
hold in Cuba. . .,

Gary Crosby To
Have Examination
Las Vegas, Nev.-(UPD-Singer
Gary Crosby has cancelled en
gagements for the rest of the
month to undergo a thorough
medical examination.
Gary, 27, oldest of crooner
Bing Crosby's sons, has been
suffering off and on from a
throat ailment. A doctor said
Thursday the young singer
now was generally run down
from dieting.
Gary was forced to cut
short an engagement at the
Flamingo Hotel this week
and he also has cancelled a
two-week engagement at a
Sunset Strip nightspot in

kicked up by a gentle wind,
were splashing over her
back. The water ran off, as it
is supposed to do from a
duck's back, but Meenie's
head was in an unnatural position-it
was under water; it
evidently had been for sev
eral hours. Meenie, in her de
spondency, had taken her own
life.
