SECTIV D - MedfordTribune MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, AUGUST 7, 1960 The Family Council Editor'! Note: The Family Council consists ol Jurist, a psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women'i editor and two writers. Each article is a summary of an actual tae history The Council reports on problems that have been daaJt wl b by responsible agencies and vuunseiori Ellen T. - We should lei Doug get married. Lucas T. - Why hand him everything on a silver plat ter? Ellen T. - My husband and I are having a serious dis agreement about our 20-year-old son, Douglas. The boy has found a very nice girl at college and they want to get married. They would both work part-time for their expenses. All they want from us is thai we keep the college tuition fees. The girl's parents are more than willing and offer, in addition, to take care of any special expenses. . I see no reason for them to wait. They are very young, it's true. But it's better to know that your son is settled down with a nice girl than to have to worry about his running wild. Thousands of college students marry. Why not our boy? . Lucas T. - Al the risk of being called a sour old skin flint, I'm ready to declare myself as being opposed to making things too easy for the young. I feel that a man who con siders himself ready to mar ry should have some knowl edge of the world, should know where he is heading and should be willing and ready to struggle a little on his own to win the lady of his choice. It seems lo me that Doug lakes too much for granted. He is getting his education on a silver platter. He doesn't understand the money has to come from someone's sweat. It's true he holds a part-lime job, but that's a drop in the bucket. The Council: Lucas' ideas are somewhat counter to the present tide, but many sociol ogists and educators would second them. Dr. Margaret Mead, Ihi tminent anthropologist, has Air Mail Envelope To Be Released , Portland - A new "fire red" air mail embossed envelope will be released Aug. 18 by the post office department for the first time in Portland, the Oregon Stamp society said today. Ceremonies will be held In connection with the 74th annual convention of the American Philatelic society al 10:30 a.m. at the Sheraton Portland holel.

Cabinsite Lots Are Being Offered For Bid Boise - D. W. Applegate, l, project superintendent of the Central Snake projects of i fice of the bureau of recla i mation, has announced that '. sealed bids are being noeiv ed by his office, p. o. box 944, J Boise, for sale of cabinsite lots on the west side of the : Cascade reservoir. r Closing date will be Aug. n25, at 1 p.m., and bids will ''be opened nt that time and wards made to the highfft bidden soon thereafter. PAGES 1 to 8 advanced the opinion that ear ly marriage may be draining our nation of its top asset the enthusiasm and spirit of adventure of young men. Dr. Mead points out that traditionally the young man has wanted to learn, explore, experiment. He has been will ing to move. along . unknown paths, giving of his full time and energy in the pursuit of an unknown " goal. He has been willing lo experiment because he has not thought in terms of immediate re wards. Today, Dr. Mead adds, young girls not out of their teens are making all the de cisions for these men. If a prospective husband wants to pursue some special field of knowledge, the girl wants lo know first, whether it will postpone the wedding day, and second, whether it will keep him away from home much. This youth is expected to share the burden of bring ing up children because, in most cases, the girl also wants lo get an education. We think Lucas also has a valid point when he says he wants to see his son forge his character through a. bit of struggle before he claims a wife. Ellen shows clearly that she would like to de liver him from her arms se curely into the arms of a good wife. There would be no interval for Douglas to grow into individuality and manhood. It was once considered a lest of love for two people to be willing lo wait for one another while each worked lo achieve certain goals. We don't think it's a bad idea.

To day's article deals with a child's behavior in school.) Washington, D.C. If you are often baffled by your child's behavior, there is a practical "psychologist" as close to you as your child's school. It is his teacher. The average elementary teacher, during a 30-year ca reer, will live with, work with, and love more than -,000 children. How many parents can claim that amount of experience? Even before they start their leaching careers, teachers re ceive extensive training in child psychology. They learn to recognize the danger sig nals of potential delinquency. They learn that a reading dif ficulty may be the result of an emotional problem . . . and how to recognize a gifted child hiding behind a smoke screen of apathy. They learn what characteristics a child reveals at different age levels. From their extensive knowledge of c h i 1 d r e n a combination of their practi cal experience and broad training America's teachers, through the National Educa tion association, offer the 4-H NEWS CP Cudchewers The Central Point Cud chewers 4-H club held a meet ing Aug. 1 at the home of their leader, Mrs..

FIRST TIME AT THESE following practical pointers to parents: , The 2 to 5 year old Teachers can usually "spot" those youngsters who have had few opportunities to play with children their own age. Pre-schoolers who play with other children before school starts adjust more quickly to school life. If your child has had few chances to play with others, invite children to your home ... or lake him to parks and playgrounds. If your child is accustomed to being away from home and mother, he will tind it much easier to adjust to school. Kin dergarten and first-g r a d e teachers suggest that you leave him with friends or relatives occasionally, before school starts for several hours, a whole day, or over night. Leaving home to go to school will come as a pleas ant experience rather than a psychological shock. The 6 to 10 year old Teachers know that parents can increase iheir child's mental alertness, during the early elementary school years. You can do this by exposing your child to a rich variety of family activities. Take him on trips, to children's plays and concerts. Expose him to good art, surround him with many books and magazines. Do not compare his be havior or school work with that of his classmates or his brothers and sisters. Children develop at different rates of speed. Each has his own rate of growth and maturity. Your child may be a slow develo per. Look for ways to help and encourage him. The 11 to 17 year old Students in junior high school want lo know the "why" of what they are learn ing. Teachers advise parents to encourage family discus sions on a variety of topics, and to make a point of track ing down the facts behind general statements.

Don't feel left out and resentful if this happens to you. Visit your youngster's teachers anti counselors, and find out how you can help him make these important decisions. Turning to outsid ers for advice is normal at these ages. Resurfacing To Start Tomorrow Rogue River Paving com pany, contractor for resurfac ing a number of Medford streets, will start work to morrow morning, according to Vernon Thorpe, public works director. The company is expected lo jlart on South Grape st. be tween 10th and 13th st, over to Soulh Front st., between 10th and 12th st., and 11th st. between the railroad tracks and Central ave.
