Tech Teachers Turn Off-Duty Skills Painting and Gardening
To Building,
By OPAL CROCKETT OME suntans come naturally, like those of J. P. Lahr and John W. Kendrick. When their students take to the diving board these two Technical High School teachers take to roofs and gardens. They're among the many Indianapolis teacher work teams who build, paint and garden during summer vacations. J. P. Lahr, 4030 Forest Manop, started summer vacation fobs 18 years ago about the time the little Lahrs, Janet, John and James, came along. At first he worked for the U. 8. Chamber of Commerce. Then he sold maps. He changed to roofing after talking to a
roofer who made more money than he did with his maps. » » » MR. LAHR’S business picked up to the extent that he has added paint crews. Among Tech teachers working with him are

By MURIEL LAWRENCE AST spring Mr. Davis lost several thousand dollars in a poor invest-
ment. As a result, his son Jack has had to plan to enter the state university this fall instead of the expensive private college three of his # friends are going to. Jack has deeply resented this change of plan, Since {it was made, he has had very little to say to his father. The other night, when he came home from a date with his crowd, he said goodnight to his mother and went upstairs, pointedly ignoring. his father. When his door had slammed,
Mrs. Davis looked at her husband and began to cry. She said, “You can’t blame the boy,

Fd. His heart was set on the other school. He's only got one life to live. Isn't there any-
thing vou can do?”
Mr. Davis decided there was, The next morning he went down to the bank and took out a mortgage on his home. Though his head throbbed with one of his blinding headaches, though his hand shook as he signed the papers, it never occurred to him to throw down his pen and say, “No, I am not going to mortgage my future for an insufficient reason! I, too, have only one life to live.” »r . ”
THIS IS BECAUSE Mr. Davis has got into the habit of deprect¥ting himself. It has betrayed him into giving his son a bad example for the solution of financial mistakes. It has led him to conspire with “that son's irresponsibility. If he had not got into this wicked habit, he would have sald to his boy, “You go to state colege this term and give mother and me a chance to save

E. V. Rutherford and Wallace Potter. At the start Mr. Lahr was asked questions more baffling
than those tossed to him in his retail selling classes. College degrees didn’t help him when a prospect asked who paid the freight on the liquid asphalt roofing the teacher sold. Mr. Lahr didn’t know.
At home the Lahrs give dad a hand. Mrs. Lahr has taught shop and the Lahr sons have learned the building business. ” n un MR. LAHR and Mr, Kendrick have held academie conversations and exchanged garden produce more than 20 years while teaching at Tech. But it wasn't until this month that Mr. Kendrick lured his co-work-er to the Kendrick home, 605 West Dr., Woodruff Place. Mr. Lahr is there now, roofing the house the Kendricks bought. Outside, son Willlam Kendrick, Tech graduate, is winding up painting the garage before going to Indiana University. Brother James, 11, works inside where his mother says she

his right to live the one life he's been given as he really wants to live it because he is firmly convinced that parents are only good to serve as fuel on the altar of sacrifice for children.
This kind of self-contempt lurks back of much of our overanxiety to insure their futures at the cost of our own. It is doubt of our own growth, our own progress that impels us to over-extend our strength to cater to young irresponsible demands, It is self-depreciation that whispers to us, “You've had your chance and muffed it. You better "bet on somebody else now. As a person that counts, you're done.” » » ”

Like any other creditor who smells bankruptcy in the wind,
they will besiege us with complaints and demands.
The day you and I remember that we are equally the children of God, along with our boys and girls, will be a fine day for them. The day we can love enough to trust our own tomorrows as faithfully as we trust theirs, we will begin to produce happier, more confident, more grateful and more loving sons and daughters. The best university in the world will not be able to undo the hurt done to Jack Davis by his parents’ false love. He will have to wait for life’s stern insttuction to teach him that no man profits by the enslavement of another,

You Can Do Much to Aid Your Husband's Career
By RUTH MILLETT T MUST be highly satisfying to Mamie Eisenhower when one political reporter after another comes forth
with the opinion that she is
important assets. That's what any wife would like to have said about her.
There is no pattern for the wife who wants to be a real asset to her husband. It depends in’ each case on what kind of wife the husband needs, and what particular assets his wife has to meet those needs. But in general these are
Ruth Millett all qualities and abilities that will make a wife a real asset
to her husband: Being a good and subtle
press agent. More than any other person, a wife has the opportunity to help a man put his best foot forward. Being a friendly humanbeing. A wife who gets a reputation for being high-hat or gives others the impression she is a cold fish, interested only in herself, can’t possibly help a man along in the world. » s »
MAINTAINING her own individuality. The wife who is a mere shadow of her husband may not hurt him, but she can't help him either. Having a good disposition.
