Happy
Holiday!
; By FLORENCE JENKINS
' A letter has come from Mrs.
Thomas J. 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.

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.

Grotewohl blithely replies to this
that in such a case he will speak

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

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

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.
