Ebychiatrtat, Urea clergymen, three cdttori and a women't editor,
ach article ii a luminary of a family disagreement preentd to tha
Council. The Council dealt with problems, major and minor,
ncountcred by guidance counkelori and aortal workers. Edited by
Harriet F. - A tenant in
my building is making my
life miserable.
Md. 1. B. - I won't put her
out on just Miss F.'i say-so.
Harriet F. - There's a worn'
an in the house where I re
tide whose actions are abonv
inable. She's in the room next
to mine and she has the ir
ritating habit of slamming hr
door with all the strength
she can summon. Its the
same with the bathroom door
in the hall.
We also share the use of
the kitchen and the refriger
ator with three other women
on the same floor. I'm only
there for one meal a day, in
the afternoon, and I try to
be out of there when she
reaches home. Now I learn
that someone stole her chick
en from the icebox and she
has been blaming mel No
body likes her. The other
roomers and I have spoken
to the landlord about her, but
he says we must try to get
along.
Mr. I. B. - The caretaker
of my building lives on the
premises and he informs me
this is Just a hen fight. He
says the others are used to
it, but Miss F. is only there
a few months and doesn't un
derstand that life in a room
ing house isn't the same as
having a private home.
The woman she complains
most about has been my ten
ant for almost four years
now. True, she has a few ec
centricities, but who hasn't?
She's close to 70 and when
she slams those doors, either
they slip out of her hands,
or she forgets because she's
wrapped in her thoughts
She once told me that she
lost two close members of
her family at the hands of
Hitler.
Instead of fighting with
her, Miss F. should approach
her in a nice way and be
friends.
show her neighbor how It
feels. And certainly she's
aimed a few tongue-lashings
at this troublesome co-tenant.
Now she's campaigning to get
ner evicted.
But there's no evidence
that she's tried the simple
human approach of asking
the lady to "live and let live,
As long as these all-alone
women are destined to share
the same roof, they might
as well turn it into a small'
scale UN, with every effort
made to smooth over differ
ences. In this sense the land
lord, Mr. B., (or the caretaker)
might try a bit more diligent
ly to fill the role of a medi
ator and peacemaker a la
Ralph Bunche. Without
threats or accusations, lie
might offer to listen open
mindedly to the "beefs" on
both sides and attempt to
ease the tension-fraught sit
uation, In the event, however, that
Miss F.'s position is just, that
she is the victim of an irre
sponsible and malicious
house-mate, she can seek le
gal redress. If all peaceable
approaches fail, she can go
to a lawyer or Legal Aid, or
directly to her District At
torney. She can file suit under
a charge such is harassmpnt,
breach of peace, creating a
disturbance. But here's tin
important caution: She must
be sure of her facts, and have
corroborating evidence. Else
this step may boomerang
painfully, with the accused
neighbor filing a complaint
against Miss F. for false ar-,
restl
For tomorrow, Miss F., in
vile the lady in for a chick
en dinner.
The Council - There arc
four ways which come lo
mind on how Miss F. might
handle her feud with the lady
in the next room. (1) Speak
to her nicely, (2) Move, (3)
Fight, or (4) Oct her to move
We gather from Miss F.'s
lengthy bill of particulars
(snarply trimmed above) that
sue s tried all except the most
important one the first!
She's looked for other
quarters but finds her present
home just right In terms of
the modest pension check
she must live off and make
do with. So she can't move.
We'll bet she's been doing
her own fair share of door
slamming in retaliation, to
