Way Is Often Difficult for; TPia "Onlv Child" in Family

By HEITMAN N. BUNDESEN, W..0-A ACCORDING to a recent study, an “only child” appears to have a greater tendency toward emotional instability. Therefore, the parents of such a child must have extra patience and an intelligent outlook if they are to raise him tp be an emotionally stable adult. i The study was made of 200 school children who required psychological treatment because of emotional and personality disturbances. It was discovered that 33 per cent were the only child in the family, 27 per cent the oldest child, and 19 per cent the young- • est. Mother Has Difficulty In, the general population,, the percentage where there is one child in the family is only 18 per eent. Usually, when there is only one child, the mother has had great difficulty in pregnancy or u during the nursing period. There seems to be a very close -tie between such a child and its parents, particularly the mothet. <• Usually, the mother is a dominating type. There is danger that the child will not gain the emotional maturitjT that is more easily attained by children from larger families. As a rule, an only child finds nls social and school life more difficult than does a child who is brought up with other children. When it comes to intelligence, however, the only child has superior mental development and greater ability to acquire the use of language, but he does not

This may build him up for a big "let-down” when he enters school and is in the constant company of children. P : Parents shoultj encourage an only child to play with other children as much as possible. If he appears “left out” of things, they should arrange to have him take part in guided recreation groups. While encouragement is necessary, they should not push too much to build up; the child’s ego. He should be taughtV the values of life, and, should not be given everything'on a "silver platter.? QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS W. C.: I had a fractured hip about two years ago. At that time a pin was inserted in my hip. I now have pain in that hip. Could the pin be removed? Answer: Sometimes there is some residual pain following the placing of a pin in the hip. In most cases, the pain is not too severe and can be well tolerated by the individual. P In a certain few cases, where the pain is not tolerable, surgery is performed to remove the pin if the person’s general condition warrants the operation and the fractured bone is sufficiently healed. However, in most cases only dqhe as: an absolute necessity. . , J ...1 i : I f

His only consolation was the knowledge that farther uptown, tn his cubbyhole at headquarters, Inspector jHerlehy was squirming just as uncomfortably. Byers leaned back, verified miich of what the T-man had told Liddellj of Goldy’s part in smashing the ring. “They thought she’d be useful to them because of her contacts with the Chinese,” he concluded. instead she immediately contacted us. We assigned Hong tolvzork with her.” “That was why she had Hong’s picture, Johnny. So she’d knovy him when he made con ta c t,” Muggsy offered frightly. Liddell nodded testily. “Even I’ve been able to figure that 6ne. That’s also why we found it left in the apartment. Goldy didn’t pack her own things. \ The mob stuck her under cover, sent one of their own boys to get her stuff.” Byers nodded. “That’s exactly what did happen, Liddell.” He picked a pipe from his rack, started to fill it with tobacco. “You know the reason she was forced to go Under cover was the fact that you’d recognized her at Brin’s party, don’t you ?" Liddell nodded. “That's why we didn’t want you to get into the case in the first place," Byers continued. “We had it pretty well sewed up and we didn’t want Goldy getting the same medicine from the gang that poor old Hong got.” He put the pipe between his teeth, scratched a match, applied it. “We couldn’t, of course, jeopardize her life by telling you she was working with us.

No one could have, known.” Liddell stamped over to the chair opposite Kaiming’s, dropped into it, “It all fitted together so neatly. It had to be someone who knew the Chinese intimately enough to know where their relatives were located in China. Gerla didn’t have that kind of information. Neither did Brin. It looked like it had to be her." Kaiming nodded, clapped his hands. x Fah Soo appeared, smiling and bowing. “Mr. Liddell would like some refreshments, I think," Kaiming told the girl. Fah Soo bowed, left the room. "I almost had the truth when Brin was killed. For that matter, 1 almost had it before Lunfar was killed,” Liddell growled. "It was a case of almosts.” Kaiming shrugged. “Bad luck, no' doubt.” i. The girl returned, placed a bottle and some glasses on the table, stood aside. “After all, you did get what you went .after, Hong’s killer,” Kaiming reminded him. “Which one wad dt ?” Liddell growled. ' "Does it make much difference ?" Kaiming shrugged. “Whoever it was, he is either dead or tn jail” •That would merji that either Ceria Brin 1 was behind this whole operation,” Liddell grunted. "Neither of them was.” ‘ Kaiming raised his eyebrows. "Why do you say that?” ‘They didn’t fill the specifications. Make the contacts to steal or bay military secrets, yes.

Kaiming removed the cigaret holder from between his teeth, removed the butt, crushed ill out. “Who then?” Liddell took the glass from the outstretched hand of the girl, shrugged. “Let’s take another look at this character." It’s somebddy who knew the old country connections of the local Chinese. Somebody who knew I was on the case, wqs able to put a tail on me, thus know that I was close to Lunfar and Brin/' he tabulated. “It was somebody who knew that I had seen Goldy in the house where llong wai killed, whb would thus know I had recognized her at Brin’s party. It was somebody who could get Ceria and Goldy hidden out in the heart cf Chinatown.” Kaiming pursed his lips thoughts fully. “A very powerful person.” Liddell nodded. “A tong leader usually is.” Kaiming looked tired. “You siispect me? How ridiculous.” “Not very. It was ridiculous that I didn’t Suspect you before now. Your tong; was licked in the last tong war. 'You told me that yoijrself. That means you lost the iconcession to run the Fan Tan. You lost the best locations for restaurants and other rackets.

Lutheran Church Campaign Sunday Synod-Wide Drive To Be Made Sunday AU of the IQ Lutheran congregations in the Decatur area will actively participate iff the synodwide! “Conduest for Christ” collection to be taken on Sunday. Teams of icanvassers from each church will visit the homes in their respective parishes ’to furtMr explain the Missouri syndo’s ten million dollar expansion program and to gather pledges and ‘contributions toward the project, * ! The ReC. Harry Behning. of Bethlehem Lutheran church at Ossian, has been serving as chairman for the Circuit A guidance committee with separate committees in ’each eongr«gat(on to faciliate the drive in their own groups. Literature carefully describing the many Opportunities and challenges for ex- j pansion Jwhich the church hopes toi meet through this special drive authorized by its Milwaukee convention in June, 1950, has been mailed into every home. Sl/cfal movies on Christian stewardship have been shown; and organizations within the congregations have been detailed as to|the urgent needs and benefits of the plan. Approximately two-thfrds of the amount .will be used to improve and expand synod’s 10. preparatory ■ ischodls, ilts two teacheits* colleges, and its two theological seminaries as well as to establish a rfkw senior college near Chicago. Concordia College at Fbrt Waynei will be • alloted $?82,000. The. seminary at St. Louis is to receive $519,000 and the seminan at Springfield, 111., $250,600.
