' Mrt. S. V.i My hsband ig
nores our young son.
" ' Mr. 8. V.i He's a very cold
blooded youngster.
Mrs. S. V.-We have two
.children, a boy of 9 and a girl
ot 6. My husband only has
eyes (or the little girl and
pays no attention at all to
our son, except to shout at
him or slap him occasionally.
He's a good child, but late
ly he clings to me like a baby,
refusing to play with other
"children. I feel his father
should make a real effort to
be his pal, It's not normal for
a boy to stay so close to his
"mother. And yet, how can I
-push him away when his dad
also pushes him away?
Of course it's easier for my
husband to spend time with
our daughter. She's solid sun
shine. But it's his duty to cul
tivate his son, too.
'' Mr. 8. V.-My wife is so
wrapped up in the boy that
she's only too glad I take the
baby off her hands. She
spends hours helping him
with his lessons, taking him
ice skating, and supervising
his violin practice. She gives
him enough attention for
three parents.
: Besides, whenever I try to
warm up to the kid, he gives
me the cold shoulder. I've al
ways felt that my wife wants
him to herself and that she
turns him against me by lit
tle things she says and does.
It's she who keeps asking me,
in front of him, why I don't
kiss him as much as our
daughter. I don't keep track.
It's just that the girl is kiss
able, and the boy isn't.
a
; The Councils All the ex
perts agree that a baby needs
his mother desperately for
the first six years ot life and
then, from about 7 to 11 needs
his father just as desperately,
for optimum development.
When, through any sort of
tragedy, the natural parent
lsn t available for the esseiv
tial ministrations, every effort
is made to provide substitutes,
Even instltlonalized children
are offered, when possible.
the caresses and concern of
visiting "mothers" and "Big
Brother" dads.
' Mr. V. then must be helped
to see that his role in his son s
life isn't an optional one. As
part of being a man, a hus
band, and a father it's a sus
tained obligation, and often
a pleasure, to become the man
in his young son's life. It
can't be an on-again, off-again
.relationship depending upon
mood.
This is not to frighten
these parents, for there Is
still time to balance matters,
but when a man falls to
achieve a full masculine ad
justment, when he grows up
effeminate and cannot suc
ceed In a hetergeneous marital
adjustment, the lack has usu
ally been traced by research
ers to a faulty relationship
with his father.
' And often the kingpin in
the machinery needed to cor
rect this situation Is really
the queenpln, that Is, the mo
ther. It Is Mrs. V. who must,
like a good press agent, build
a favorable "Image" of the
father for the son, and vice
versa. Thus far the boy sees
that the women of the house
get the affection and the at
tention and he may well pre
fer to be a girl himself. His
mother, and then his father,
are the ones who can help
him see the advantages of be
ing a boy, and guide him to
that mainstay of mental
health, acceptance of self.
Look closely at your son
Mr. V. He may not be as kiss'
able as your little girl, but
he's not "mlssable" either.
These are your innings with
him and It s a fast game, rig
ure out how to win him, and
it.

Mediators Meet
Union Negotiators
New York - UPD - Media.
tors in the 38-dsy-old New
York newspaper blackout let
striking printers cool their
heels on the picket lines to
day and turned to a new
round of talks with other
unions.
Talks among mediators,
pub Ushers' representatives
and officials of the stereo
typers, photo-engravers and
mailers union were sched
uled after printers voted to
continue their walkout "In
definitely until a Just con'
tract Is reached."
Mediators planned to keep
in touch with the printers to
day but did not call for any
negotiating session. Officials
of the printers union have
said the simultaneous bar
gaining talks with other un
ions are placing the printers
at I disadvantage.
