One big question faced by parents of teenaged boys and girls is the question of dating. Every family faced with such a decision should immediately counsel with its pastor, or with a local religious leader, if they do not regularly attend church. The question is far more important than just answering yes or no to your child. The far-reaching, long-lasting effects of what is being done must be considered. IWflMftfll In fact, if we develop a generation of moraless, spineless youngsters, we may be contributing the deciding factor in our defeat by the “puritan” generation of young Russian Communists, says Dr. . David R. Mace, executive director of the American Association of Marriage Counselors. Discipline is the most important part of growing up. We must accept all types of discipline to survive in a world where we are ever being thrown more closely together. Respect for parents, for church, for law, must be taught The United States is unique in having allowed to develop the custom of teenage dating. It is also unique in having a divorce rate four times that of other comparable Western countries. In fact, it has caused such problems in America, that Dr. Mace suggests outlawing dating for young people under 15. Four reasons are given for limiting dating on elementary, junior high, and even high school young people: $ Midi 1. Dating imposes a social tryranny. If you don’t have a date for the dance, you don’t go at all. This creates anxiety and forces insecure boys and girls into going steady simply to insure social opportunities. 2. Dating fosters a subtle form of mutual exploitation, whereby the boy tries to exploit the girl sexually, and the girl tries to exploit the boy financially. This produces unhealthy comradeship, predatory males and spoiled females. 3. Dating gives young people an unhealthy desire for variety and change. If a boy runs into difficulty with a girl, he drops her and finds another. Thia carries over into marriage, and leads to a divorce habit. 4. Dating among youngsters who are not wage-earners is ludicrous and sinfully expensive. It gives children a distorted attitude toward money, which is supplied by their parents. Youngsters will be much happier and healthier if they are encouraged to hold group rather than couple activities until their junior or senior year of high school. Dating at a young age results only in sexual experimentation, the rising rate of teenage pregnacies, hasty teen marriages, and the rocketing incidence of venereal disease in the 10-15 year old group.

'■ '■ — ——■ ■■'■■to— - Police Chief Cites Rules For Safety

With the opening of school upon us for another year, some thought should be given to the safety of the city's youngsters who both ride ( bicycles and walk. . Chief of police Jim Borders em- ( phasized that the parents play an , important part in bicycle safety or , anything that a child does. Instead of saying “don’t do this” or “don’t do that,” parents should sit down with the child and explain to him why certain things should or should not be done. It doesn’t take a great amount of time to explain the whys of things to a child, he added. With regard to specific rules about bicycle riders, the chief explained that two should never be allowed on the bicycle at the same time. Two on a bicycle throws the balance off so that the operator lacks proper control. Borders emphasized that the two wheeler should always be in safe condition. He enlarged upon the point by saying that all of the safety devices, such as chain guards and lights, should be in place and in working condition. Bike and Rider Suited One of the most important things to remember is that the bicycle should be fitted to the child expected to ride it. Otherwise, the two wheeler will be too cumbersome and difficult to handle, the chief stated. Another important piece of equipment on the bicycle is the basket or luggage carrier. For tiny tykes or even older youngsters, it just isn't possible to carry books or packages under one arm and expect to handle the bicycle safely with the other arm. Rules governing bicycle riders are practically the same as those for operators of motor vehicles. Riders are always to signal their intention of making turns and stops. Also they are to ride as close to the right hand side of the street or to the line of parked cars as possible. But at this point, the chief cautioned all bicycle riders to watch several cars ahead to see if there should be a driver behind the wheel. Opening car doors into the face of an oncoming bicycle rider can cause the loss of teeth and painful bruises to the rider and possibly the loss of the bicycle. In most accidents which occur between the bicycle rider and a motor vehicle, the bicycle rider is at fault. The two most common causes of such accidents are the bicycle rider failing to keep in a straight line when out in the street and not yielding the right of way. Youngsters often dart into busy thoroughfares from side streets and alleys without any thought of stopping.

Adults Share Thinking Too often, the chief said “we expect a child to think like an adult.” This they cannot do because they have never faced the experiences of an adult world. Instead the adult has to do some thinking for the child and learn to anticipate his “goofs.” Children will dash into the street to retrieve a straying object without thinking, whereas adults will stop to think first of what to do. Questioned about walking habits of the city’s youngsters, the chief said that the children in general are doing an excellent job of walking safely. Not many youngsters have been involved in pedes-trian-auto accidents. Nearer the schools, patrol boys are doing an excellent job of seeing the city’s youngsters across the streets safely. In the past year no child has been injured at one of these crossings. Bicycle safety and all other safety must be taught at home by the parents, not by the school or by the police, the chief concluded. In the minds of the youngsters, Mommy and Daddy can’t be wrong in what they tell their children. As a last thought. Borders reemphasized that the adult driver will have to anticipate the mistakes of the young bicycle riders. Although this can be very in inconvenient at times, it is far better than sending some youngsters to the hospital. He concluded with

DtiEHiais — M Pibfic Molies Copyright 1960 By Jaieu E. Pollard The People’s Right (No. 2 in a Series) One ot the important books of the 1950’s was “The People’s Right to Know.” It was written by the late Dr. Harold L. Cross, a leading attorney and for some years on the staff of the Graduate School of Journalism, Columbia University. As its foreword pointed out, the book was in reality a Report to the American Society of Newspaper Editors which sponsored the study. This 400-page book has to do with the status of legal access to the public records and proceedings in the United States. It deals with various aspects of what the book calls “the neverwon struggle for a maximum of basic fredoms in a free society.” Concerted attention has been focused upon this problem in recent years by a number of agencies, both state and national. In wartime and under the security conditions necessary even during the cold war, there has been a tendency to go beyond necessity in withholding information from the public. Some of this has resulted from overzealousness on the part of the armed services. Some has grown out of the tendency of bureaucracy to protect itself and, in so doing, to makes its own ground rules. But as a result of the efforts, of Dr. Cross and others, some progress has been made in breaking down the fences erected around legitimate information. Public notice, or legal advertising, is another aspect of the people’s right to know. It is for the protection of their rights, both personal and collective. Whether it has to do with tax rates, a special election, or settling an estate, the principal is the same. The newspaper, in turn, performs a public service in publishing public notices. They are part of the legal machinery of helping to insure the people's right to know. Fort Wayne Resident Dies In Hotel Fall PITTSBURGH (UPI) — Richard Miller, 40, Fort Wayne, Ind., was killed early Monday when he fell down a stairwell at the Roosevelt i Hotel here while attending a . bridge tournament. James Austin, a hotel spokes- ■ man, said Miller apparently slipped over a bannister on the second floor and fell to the basement. Hundreds of persons were in the hotel because of the bridge tournament but apparently no one saw Miller fall. He was dead on arrival at Allegheny General Hospital with head injuries. ■ the sobering thought that auto operators have a tremendous moral » responsibility in helping children i grow up to be strong and healthy.
