We know a girl who lodged
a complaint against Daylight
Saving Time because the
hands of the clock were turn'
cd forward the day of her
wedding and "I lost an hou
of. my honeymoon."
Numerous persons have
commented that the tender re
union of Scott Carpenter with
his wife, Rene, after his three-
orbit trip around the earth
helped reaffirm more teeter
ing marriages than all the
professional counselling doled
out in a year.
The radio listener knows
the Space Age is here when
he hears the news announcer
reporting on a moon shot and
then, going on to another
item, continues "meanwhile,
back on earth . . .
The belting in this corner
is that four-fifths of the wom
en present at any fashion
show look at the size eight
models and decide to reduce.
The betting also is that any
men present look at the mod
els' emaciated figures and
think, "I'll take Marilyn Monroe."
Why is it that the older a
woman gets, the bigger grow
her feet, the shorter grows
her neck and the thinner her
eyebrows? - ,
What this country needs to
go with all its other instants
is an instant cure for insomnia.
The mother of two tots tells
of her three-year-old daughter
insisting on a pacifier every
time sister, aged six months,
was given one. The mother
kept admonishing, "No, dear,
you may not . . . you're a big
girl now." After hearing the
"big girl now" business a few
times too many, the three-
year-old turned to her mother
and said:
"Well, then how about a
cigarette?"

Apparently some of the
children of our sophisticated

Conversation over heard
between two four-year-old la

"Yes," said Debbie, "a n d

Abuse of Children Is
Topic of Consultants
Wasnington-Logal machin
ery should be established in
all slates making it manda
tory that physicians and cer
tain hospital administrative
personnel report cases of sus
pected physical abuse of chil
dren by adults.
This recommendation was
made by a group of consult
ants to Ihe children's bureau
at a conference held at the
department of health, educa
tion, and welfnre on May 25,
Chairman of the conference
was Mis. Kathrrine B. Oet
tlnger, chief of the children's
bureau. The consultants who
made the recommendation
were composed of a group of
lawyers, juvenile and family
court judges, probation offic
ers, doctors, and social work
ers. The one-day meeting was
the outgrowth of the bureau's
January IS conference on the
abused child which recom
mended that legal aspects of
the problem be given techni
cal consideration.
Agree
The group of specialists
agreed that mandatory report
of physical abuse to children
by adults should be limited to
physicians and hospital ad
ministrators since "these
groups arc bound by law as
well as by professional ethics
to respect the confidentiality
of the professional relation
ship" The proposed statute mak
ing the reporting of such
abuse mandatory, the group
agreed, should also relieve
the doctor or hospital admin
istrator from civil liability. In
addition, it should specify,
whnt lo report. I
Among the types of cases i
cited wuc those in which the
child Is found, often through
X-ray examination, to have a
series of injuries in different
stages of healing (the "abused
child syndrome") and those
which, on the face of It, the
injury and explanation of the
Injury bv the parent do not
Jibe.
Slates Decide
To whom I he report should
be made. It was recognized
that this is a question each
state must decide for Itself,
but among possible agencies
mentioned were law enforce,
ment groups, especially those
who have jurisdiction over Ju
veniles, departments of health,
child welfare departments
and social agencies.
According to Mrs. Oelting
er, a drafl of this proposed
legislation will he developed
and will be circulated for
comment among certain na
tional groups, including the
legal profession, hiw enforce
ment officers, pediatricians,
hospital administrators, social
workers and others concerned
with child health or welfare.
Such a guide for slate leg
islation would help alert the
general public to the import
ance of reporting suspected
physical mistreatment of chil
dren. Mrs. Oeltinger declared:
"The reluclance on the part
of many persons lo report
these situnlions o( gross abuse
of children amounts almost
to a taboo. The conference
group feels Ih.n there is the
need for a general campaign
of education ami that In
drafting suggested mate leg
islatjon, otheis outside the
medical profession would he
encouraged to report situa
tions of child abuse ol which
I hey are aware."
