Lewis F. - My mother, who is 63, has an apartment two blocks away from us and my wife thinks nothing of run ning off for hours at a timo and leaving our 6-year-old son with her. Lately Jerry has taken a few bad spills while in her care and she dreads being asked to be responsible for him. Hilda is young and should stay home with our ac tive little fellows. Hilda FMy husband talks as though I blame his mother for Jerry s bumps and bruises. Nothing could be further from my mind! At his age the child seems to collect bruises and scratches as easily as a table gathers dust he winds up with band-aids at home, too. I've accepted the presidency of a Ladies' Auxiliary on my mother-in-law's assurance that she'd mind Jerry. . v ... The Council W wnn'l come right out and accuse Jerry of deliberately cutting; his finffcr on the Rnrin.nnn .an or begging for splinters from sliding aown the cellar door. But a Boston survey proves that of two children facing the same hazards, the tense, un happy child is more likely to be iniured bv them. In nihnx words, a child who feels ne glected or abandoned will seek an accident in-order to force solicitude and attention from his parents, especially his mother. The findings are offered in a 29-cent "Accident Handbook," available from the Children's Hospital Med icai tenter . , . Jerry's affin ity for contusions and lappra- tions may be his painful way oi saying, "Slay home, Ma!' It's worth a try, even if it means rpsicmlnf frnm that Aa. manding office. Whatever will reduce tne stress In Jerry's life whether it's from "de sertion," rush or parental dis agreements will reduce the "accidental" bangs and bumps. 1 Portland May Get Legion Convention Indianapolis, Ind. -IUPH- The 1966 national convention of the American Legion will be held at Portland, Ore., if the national executive committee approves a convention com mission recommendation.
