How to keep well

Childs version of his rights

By T R. Yai DtDta. M.D (cl 1174 by Tbc Cblcag* Tribuof Several rears ago. a British teacher asked 100.000 children t between the ages of 8 and 141 to list the 10 things they would like their parents to do and not do They represented 12 European countries. North and South .America. Australia, and India. After collating the material, he published what I call the children s bill of rights They are as follows 1. Treat all your children with equal affection. 2. There should be a comradeship between parents and children

3 Treat your childrens friends as welcome visitors in your house. 4. Don't quarrel in front of your children. 5. Mutual tolerance should exist between parents and offspring. 6. Never lie to a child. 7. Always answer their questions 8 Don't blame or punish your child in the presence of others. 9. Be constant in your affection and moods. 10. Concentrate on the good points of a child, not tus failings Children the world over still require (and often want' discipline, even though

many parents have lost the ball in this area. And while they thrive on love and encouragement, excesses in material things or permissiveness weakens their character. They must be taught iperferably by example) that there is only one way to do things-the right way. Childhood is a relatively short period that should be enjoyed. To a young boy or girl, the days, weeks and months pass slowly, but this is the waynature intended. To the parents, the child grows up only too quickly. Loosen the ties that bind, as it will do your child a world of

Let's say declarer is playing a hand where the outcome is

Bull's-eye uncertain because it depends on how or where the defenders' cards are located If declarer has a choice of several lines of play, he naturally assumes a distribution of the adverse cards that permits the contract to be made To play otherwise would be a losing policy. The same principle applies to the defending side. A defender is also obliged to make favorable assumptions, as it would be downright foolish to credit declarer with a hand that renders the contract impregnable. Here is a case in point. East wins the spade lead with the ace and must decide on his best course of defense. He realties that if South has the ace of clubs there is no chance whatever of stopping the contract, so he automatically assumes that West has it. This in turn means there are

three defensive tricks (three aces), but at the same time raises the question of how and where to obtain the setting trick. Obviously, there is no chance of West's winning a trump trick, so the only hope of beating the contract lies in winning a second diamond trick. Since West must have the queen of diamonds for this hope to mature. East makes a second assumption on the hand by mentally assigning that card also to West In line with this. East plays a low diamond at trick two. Declarer is helpless against this well-reasoned attack. West's queen forces the king and. after South draws trumps and attacks clubs. West takes the ace and returns a diamond to put the contract down one. With any play but a low diamond at trick two. South makes the hand.

good to play with his peers and to be away from the family from time to time. He'll make a few mistakes along the line, but chances are, he'll learn from them. SENSITIVE NERVOUS SYSTEM N.W. writes: Three different physicians have given me the following diagnosis: Autonomic imbalance, neur©circulatory asthenia and hypersensitive vascular system. So much for symptons. Would you believe, I still have no idea what’s the matter? REPLY You are high-strung, nervous and. in all probability, you tire easily and develop shortness of breath, even on slight exertion. You were born with a sensitive nervous system that overreacts to stimulants or irritations that seldom bother the average person Your onlyhope is to live with your emotional limitations. BUTTERFLY RASH S.H. writes: What causes a butterfly-pattern rash on the fBCe " REPLY Lupus erythematosus iLE), a disease of the connective tissue. The cause is not known, but some researchers believe that the person is allergic to himself (hyperimmune reaction). Incidentally, the characteristic butterfly rash over the nose and cheeks is not always present, but LE is suspected when no cause can be found for fever, fatigue and aching. BABY'S FIR5T SMILE M.L.C. writes: Babies first smile when they are 1 or 2 months old, or so I am told. What makes them smile in their sleep before this age? REPLY What seems to be a smile occurs when the comers of the mouth go up. The facial, like other muscles, contract during sleep.

WORRY CLINIC George W. Crane, Ph.D, M.D.

Ronald says he has benefited from use of the “Compliment Club" strategy in dealing with his Bov Scouts. Heed Dr. Goddard's advice, too. and beware, for suicide is the tragic evidence ol lack of compliments! CASE B-680 Ronald J., aged 34. is a Scout Master. Dr. Crane." he began. "I have benefited greatlv from your stress on the Compliment Club strategy. "For it focusses our attention on looking for virtues instead of hunting the flaws in our companions. "Its emphasis on the positive thus remirlds me of the panel cartoon strip showing Dennis, the Menace’ arriving home from a grocery shopping trip with his mother. "Dr Crane, maybe you saw the picture, for tlennis then greets his father by saving: 'Good news. Dad! Now we've only got THREE fenders you have to polish!! "Wasn't that a clever example of accentuating the positive?" POSITIVE EXAMPLES Yes. indeed! Comic strip artists often depict superb examples of child psychology in their cartoons. Thus, on Page 240 of my college textbook "Psychology Applied," I reproduce 8 panels of a children's comic that perfectly shows how a bully is compensating for being a fearful coward at heart. Often, a single comic strip can vividly emphasize a rule of child psychology that would require sev eral pages of print copy to explain. fn child rearing, we parents and teachers need to prod ourselves into more frequent use of praise. For compliments accentuate the positive! Most people, and especially kiddies, are aware of their many faults, so they don't need to be constantly reminded of those negative facts. Dr. Henry H. Goddard, pioneer researcher in mental testing. thus urged parents to demonstrate the "Compliment Club" strategy more often. "If your child misses 19

words out of 20 on a spelling lest." Dr. Goddard suggested, "don't criticize him all over again when he brings home thai spelling test paper "For the teacher has already noted his errors bv a check mark after each misspelled word.

"Instead." warned Dr. Goddard, "you parents should praise the child for that one word which he got right!” Even college youth are also hungry for positive praise instead constant criticism! For people often hide their inner despondency by an outward show of unconcern or bravado or even a combative pose, though inwardly ihey are scared, demoralized or blue and ready to throw in the sponge. That’s why suicide is the greatest cause of death among college vouth today! Yet parents and friends, as well as the college professors, often wonder shy such talented youth, in the prime of life and coming from fairly cultured, comfortable homes, will put a bullet through their brain or deliberately take an overdose of drugs. So try to curb your irritability at the foibles of your children and give them more compliments. This doesn't mean you must follow Dr. Spoof's permissive policy, for you should properly reprimand or even punish a child for his serious errors. But meanwhile use my "Sandwich Method" for administering reproof. It involves starting out with a sincere compliment; then slipping into the "meaty” layer of the sandwich as "I wonder, Junior, if it wouldn't be better if you did so and so?” Then follow up with another honest bit of praise and also fade out with a smile, which serves as non-verbal “bonus" compliment. So send for my 200-point "Test for Good Parents," enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 25<.

GOOD TIMES. “THE ENCYCLOPEDIA HUSTLE.” Here’s a show on the need to read and understand the fine print in sales contracts, and its message rings loud and clear. Besides the message, the episode also offers squabbling teenagers, perennial money problems and an entertaining twist ending. Not bad at all. 8:00 PM (8-10) M-A-S-H. Stories based on letters from hone are always effective in this series, and the format works again tonight. Colonel Blake (McLean Stevenson) worries over the latest news from his wife, and Father Mulcaby (William Christopher) ponders about his sister's decision to change her lifestyle. With several threads to work on, the episode bounces along with all participants earning a few good lines. 8:30 PM (8-10) WORLD PREMIERE MOVIE. “STRANGE HOMECOMING.” (1974). Despite credibility problems in the storyline, star Robert Culp manages to cover up the holes. Culp plays a murderer who pops up after a long absence and receives a hero’s welcome from his sheriff-brother’s family. With his looks and ready charm, Culp is also able to convey tension as the villain, while the innocents around him slowly begin to catch on. 8:30 PM (2-6) TUESDAY MOVIE OF THE WEEK. "THE MARK OF ZORRO.” (1974). This is a stylish remake of the romantic adventures of Don Diego, a fop by day and the avenging bandit

known as Zorro by night. Dashing, handsome Frank Langella is perfectly cast as the hero, and the hand-packed supporting cast includes Gilbert Roland, as Don Diego's aristroncratic father; Yvonne De Carlo, as his loving mother; and Ricardo Montalbon, as the cruel Captain Esteban. 8:30 PM (13) POLICE STORY. “GLAMOUR BOY.’’ Attractive Larry Hagman stars as a smooth, exasperatingly cool bank robber, who does his job with great style, without ever resorting to guns or violence. It takes the whole hour for detectives Tony Calabrese and Bert Jameson (Tony Lo Bianco and Don Meredith) to track him down and break the galling man's lucky streak, and even then it's practically an accident when they do.
