Williams, whose hus band was promoted recently from superintendent of Crater Lake Na tional Park to a position of great- er responsibility with the National Park Service at Santa Fe, New Mexico. ; She enclosed a clipping of a Let tor to the Editor published in San fa Fe, quoting an article by Judge Philip B. Gilliam, nationally known juvenile judge of Denver, Colora do. His "Open Letter to a Teen ager" was included in a small pamphlet prepared by the Denver Juvenile Court. . The judge's message: "Always we hear the plaintive cry of the teen-ager: What can we do???? Where can we go???? "The answer is Go home. "Hang the storm windows; paint the woodwork; rake the leaves mow the lawn; shovel the walk wash the car; learn to cook, scrub the floors; repair the sink; build a boat; get a job. "Help the minister, priest or rab bi, the Red Cross, the Salvation Army. Visit Ihc sick, assist the poor, study your lessons. And then when you aro through, and not too tired read a hook. . "Your parents do not owe you entertainment. ; "Your city or village does not owe you recreational facilities. ; "The world docs not owe you a Jiving. "You owe the world something. You owe it your time and energy and your talents so that no one will be at war or in poverty or sick or lonely again. "In plain, simple words: Grow up; quit being a cry baby. Get out of your dream world and de velop a backbooc, not a wishbone, and start acting like a man or lady. . . ." Judge Gilliam didn't pull h 1 s punches one bit, did he? Mrs. Williams, the successful mother of three, added this: "When we were kids, we didn't dare say we had nothing to do, or ask what to do because we would right then and there get something to do like washing win dows or scrubbing the floor." Being a teen-ager is very diffi cult. About the only thing more difficult in this life Is being a parent of a teen-ager. Dreary World Klamath Falls (To the Editorl The letter from R. II.

Virginia Bohimnon, 3407 Summers Lane V.S. Women By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP)-What is the basic thing wrong with most American women? There has been a rash of criti cism about Ihc henpecked U. S male lately, but nobody has been putting the I'. S. woman under the microscope for flaws. Isn't it about time someone per formed this neglected public sorv ice? There are certain traditional ob jections thut are always voiced when the subject of what is wrong with women comes up. They can be summarized: When you first many a woman she glows like the morning sun but in time she kind of gets to look like a ram. stained old copper roof. A woman talks endlessly but rarely says what she really knows or really knows what she says, so how can a man ever understand her? A man can understand only tilings thai make sense. In keeping appointments, a woman always arrives by the cal endar instead of the clock. A woman Is supposed to have the right to change her mind, hut actually never does and nobody can niake her change It. A wom an's mind also never lets go the memory of a fancied wrong as every husband knows. A woman never knows the value of a sound dollar or a good man unlil both are gone Irom her. Well, there is no doubt that most of these moss-grown objec tions to women arc still fairly val id, and probably always will he But if you polled most Ameri can men 1 doubt these reasons would explain the fact there is a Vast and growing grudge among many males against U. S. wom en. They are, after all, old sins of the fair sex, and man has had to put up with them throughout history. What tends to annoy a man most today is that he is being made a sucker of in a new way by a new kind of woman. This is the woman who demands the sta tus of a man while still insisting peremptorily on all the ancient privileges accorded women by the etiquette of romantic chivalry. The basic thing wrong with American women is they no long cr act like women. They look fern inine, talk masculine and act beastly. Maybe the country needs a na tional ''Kick a Woman in the Knee Day" to put the whole question of modern chivalry back on a sounder footing for all. Flowers By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK (API The nation's florists expect to send more flow trs this Christmas than they did on Mother's Day. They say a big reason is that businessmen have become more posy conscious. Business spends well over a million dollars a year on flowers for customers, suppliers and em ployes. Florists say some individ ual firms spend as much as $25,000 a year this way. The floral gifts range from bou quels to potted plants. One big segment of the practice is to tele graph flowers for openings of new enterprises or branches. The practice is growing fast, says a naturally interested spec tator, John Bodette, goneral man ager of the Florists' Telegraph Delivery Assn. This is a nonprofit clearing house for 11.000 florists scattered through every state in the nation and doing a 60-million-dollar annual business. He says the flowers are deliv ered all over the world Hong Kong, Capetown, Juneau, Mel bourne. The orders go by wire or telephone to the distant florist through tho Intcrflora network of world florists who make the de liveries. Bndctte lists some of the varied uses made of flowers by business concerns like this: The Hanover Bank of New York telegraphs flowers to every cor respondent bank in the nation on the anniversary of the opening of the account. U.S. Steel in Chicago says It with flowers when a new business enterprise that might use a steel product is launched. Thomas Cook & Sons and other travel agencies reward a client who has purchased a long tour by sending a hon voyage floral piece to a departing ship. Women who have kept an ac count for 25 years with Guaranty Trust of New York now merged with J. P. Morgan get a white orchid corsage. Bnllantinc Brewery remembers bartenders' wives when they have babies. A New York apparel manufne- lurer, noling that two out-of-town buyers never appeared at his showrooms, sent each a single rose every day. After 32 days the first buyer capitulated. The sec ond showed up after 40 roses. The average business order for telegraphed (lowers runs from $10 lo $25. but one Michigan depart ment store spent $300 on orchids for the girls in its New York resident buying office. Overseas 'olvs By PHIL NEWSOM UI'l Foreign Edilor From Hie foreign edilor's note book : Soviet Embassy officials in East Berlin have started to beat tlic drums for East German par licipulinn in a summit conference. They suy both East German Pre SHORT RIBS 7 mier Otto Grotewohl and West Berlin Chancellor Konrad Aden auer should attend because Ger many will be discussed. Aden auer, trying to keep the East Germans away, says he does not want to go to the summit. But Grotewohl blithely replies to this that in such a case he will speak for all of Germany. The "old guard" at the Vatican wants to screen all photographs taken of Pope John XXIH. The ultra-conservatives did not care for pictures showing President Ei senhower and the Pope laughing during their audience Dec. 6 too distracting from a serious mo ment. They were further upset by a sequence of pictures published in an Italian weekly showing the Fope energetically using his handkerchief when he had a cold. There is no indication the Pope himself is behind the move. He has given every indication he wants to appear as is. A serious dispute is brewing be tween private American business men and Chinese Nationalists in Formosa. Some- American busi nessmen complain the Formosan government is blocking their de velopment projects while publicly inviting foreign capital. At least one American, faced with the shutdown of his cement plant, has received a sympathetic hear ing at the U.S. Embassy. The dispute may smoulder or break into the open. Diplomatic sources report that the days of one of the last of the so-called "moderates" in Fidel Castro's Cuban cabinet appear to be numbered. They furesee early replacement of the U.S. -educated finance minister, Rufo Lopez Fresquet. Likely successor: Car los Rafael Rodriguez, editor of the Communist daily "Hoy." Amid all the talk about a Latin- American disarmament confer ence, Colombia is seeking to mod ernize its Navy. It wants two U.S. world war destroyers to replace its two ohsnlele warships. The big hiich is that Bogota wants Wash ington to pay the tab. IJriver Tes By FRANK ELEAZER WASHINGTON (UPI) The American Automobile Association expects to come out soon with a wonderful new way to test driv ers. I just took the test and am pretty sure it showed I hate work, like girls, and love money What it established about my prospects for long life in event I keep driving I'll never know, un less I get up courage to send in the papers for grading. To take this test, which is not quite ready for general use, you don't even have to get behind the wheel, although goodness knows AAA isn't opposed to qualifying prospective drivers that way. All you do is put check marks on some forms. Tho test takes 10 minutes and is based on what psychologists call a "semantic differential.' That last has nothing whatever to do with the big round thing be tween the back wheels. The test, devised by Columbia University psychologist James L Malfetti under a $100,000 grant from the AAA's Traffic Safety Foundation, is intended to estab lish your altitude toward the au tomobile. Malletti and others at work on the safely project developed the test after performing a deep psy etiological study on 400 lecn-nged drivers in Cleveland. Half of those were chronic traffic violators. The other half had good driving rec ords. 1; is built around 12 words, "concepts" as the psychologists call them. It records your asso ciations or impressions about each of these words. One of the words By Frank O'Neal HAVEN T K0U POUND Mi pthw 9im Vet r MM is car. Others, besides work women and money, include Weap on, transportation, and power. Dr. Malfetti is 39 and has been in the psychology business long enough to know that anybody old enough to drive can figure the "right" answers if simply asked to rate his own concept of a car Tne new test, though, can't be faked. As applied to each of the 12 words (or concepts) you arc asked to judge 10 pairs of con trodictory adjectives active or passive, clean or dirty, weak or strong, etc. You do this by putting check marks on a scale, between these extremes. That's how I un covered my hidden feelings on work, girls, and money. Fortunately, the quiz givers won't care much how you rate any one of these items, even ear vvhat they no when you re through is link up your check marks with lines and compare the the resulting pictures. The picture most nearly resembling the one your check marks make under "car" shows the psychologists which word you associate with the automobile. The proven bad drivers in Cleveland, for instance, associat ed cars with weapons or freedom from control of their parents. Even I can see that is bad. Driv ers with good records tended to associate autos with transports lion or work. I can't say for sure what all the other possible associations might reveal to the experts. But each concept was picked for a purpose. Now that I ve disclosed some of Dr. Malfetti's secrets, I don't feel guilty at all. Even when you know all this in advance, it won't help a bit if and when you go in for the test. Because Dr. Malfetti, as a final safeguard, has sncakily rejig gered the order of the 10 pairs of adjectives as related to each of the 12 key words. Sometimes he has also reversed 'em. Before linking up your checkmarks, to make pictures, he restores them to, their original order. That's why I don't know yet whether my dentless fenders re sult from good driving or luck I'm not sure I want to find out Almaiiiie By United Press International Today is Monday, Dec. 21, the 355th day of the year, with 10 more days in 19.19.

Tourist Told WASHINGTON (UPI) - The State Department has this bit of advice for anyone traveling abroad: Don't get into trouble. Once you're in, the department says, there's not much that can be done to get you out. Other countries have standards of jus tice that are not always the same as those in the United States.' State Department officials em phasized that an American visit ing a foreign country must ac quaint himself with the laws of that nation and understand that he cannot expect exactly the same treatment he might get at home. An example, they said, are traf fic codes in Mexico. These laws are stiff, more so than in this country, and violators are usually jailed until trial, which may be delayed for days. The department follows a rou tine procedure once an American is arrested. In every case where the U.S. citizen applies to a con sular official for help, the official gathers the facts in the case, re ports them to the State Depart ment, follows the trial closely and appraises it from the legal standards of the foreign country. This is what is being done in the case of Miami Herald report er James Buchanan, arrested in Havana on a charge that he aid ed the prison escape of American Austin Young. Young had been sentenced to 30 years by the Fi del Castro government for anti Castro activity.
