Like most great humorists, the late Bob Benchley had his full share of personal quirks and foibles. One was the firm conviction that inanimate objects were in a constant campaign to humiliate him. *T have placed slippers very carefully under my bed,” he gave as an example, “only to have them crawl out during the night to a position where I will step into them the wTong way when leaping out of bed to answer the telephone.” Benchley was convinced that shoelaces broke, fountain pens leaked, and military brushes flew' out of his hands and conked him on the head as part of this same dastardly conspiracy.

The Lighter Side

By DAVID NYDICK Is your child picked on by his playmates ? Is he constantly the I object of teasing? This can be extremely disturbing if a child has not learned to deal with such situations. Parents must recognize that their children will probably be teased by other children many times during their lives. Each

■ occurrence is not a catastrophe. More often than not parents who get upset wall upset their children thus creating the background for a serious problem. Isolated cases should be played down and used as an opportunity to advise the children. At what point does this problem of teasing become serious ? The effect of teasing is of

Delicious refreshments were then served by the hostess. The next meeting will be with Marilee Ciodfelter at 1:30 p.m. on February 15.

pie invented by the former bongo beater. While none will make the world forget Shakespeare, neither can they be compared with some of the awful stuff that passes for comedy these days. “The trouble with comedy on. TV now is everyone is looking for gimmicks,” Desi continued in his strong Spanish accent. “Thero is no identification with the audience. How can you identify with a man who takes a pill and flies through the air with a cape?” Araaz says hi« shows are ba-

sic.

They are. The settings are almost always comfortable suburban homes or sleek city apartments. The humor is based on family relationships, crosspollinated with misunderstood friends. “In comedy, all there is to worry about is the relationships betw'een people,” Desi said. You just take the normal things that happen at home and exaggerate them a little bit. If you do it right you won’t win the Nobel Prize, but you will be entertaining people.”

WASHINGTON UPI —Last November, in connection with the 22nd annual observance of international cat w r eek, the American Feline Society undertook a campaign to find jobs

president, pointed out that most big cities have thousands of jobless cats which could be put to work killing rats in the

sluma.

He said the most effective method of rat control was the so-called “Hong Kong aystem,” under which buildings are assigned a certain number of working cats, depending on their size. I am not clear whether that means the size of the buildings or the cats. “A good cat averages 13 kills a night,” Kendell said. Cate Defended Before proceeding further wrtth this, I w’ould like to note that most people will accept with equanimity the disparagement of public officials, home, motherhood, apple pie and Lawrence Welk. But woe betide anyone who rubs a cat lover the wrong way. Cat lovers are quicker to write irate letters than any other segment of the public,

I have at hand a statement by Earl F. Geiger, executive rice president of the Orkin Exterminating Co. He claims that the rat-fighting abilities of cats are vastly overrated. They’ve gotten too fat, alow, peaceful pampered and overcirilized,” Geiger says. Must Be Taught “An alley eat occasionally may take on a young rat, but even he is no match for a fullgrown one. Moreover, a cat has to learn how to fight rats. It’s hardly Instinctive behavior. “In one experiment, of 20 kittens raised in isolation, only nine grew up to kill rats. In another test, where 18 cats were raised with rats in their cages, none attacked his cagemate and only three became rat

killers.

“If you're looking for a ratkilling animal, get a terrier or an owl instead of a pussycat” Geiger’s picture of the cat as a paper tiger may be accurate, but I doubt his suggested substitutes will be accepted. That Is, unless somebody can teach an owl to purr.

By GAY PAL LET NEW YORK UPI —Once more, science takes a look at you, the career woman, and asks, “are you really happy?” The answer, with few exceptions, is “not really.” Chances are. now that you have stepped forth to that so-called beautiful world of independence, full of stuff about the equality of the sexes and how women should not spend all their talents on the home, what do you do?” You sigh for the kitchen, the kids underfoot, and for husband once more to be king of the realm, that’s what. You find that a career is a drudge. This is the view of an anthropologist — male — of the way modern Western woman views home-career and the way Afro-Asian women will look at the two. once they’ve been “liberated” as are their Western sisters. In the words of Dr. Raphael Patai: “Once it has been taken for granted that women have all the freedom that men have, that they can earn a liring In all or most occupations just as easily, or with as much difficulty as men, the status of breadwinner Is apt to lose Its challenge and assume the character of daily drudgery.” When this stage is reached.” the anthropologist says, “most women begin to have second thoughts and. with the exception of relatively few' career women, come to the conclusion that to marry, bear children, raise them, and be a homemaker is preferable to working outside the home . . . “Women now are saying in effect ... it is good to know that w’e can play both roles, that we have a right to both worlds, but we shall be satisfied with relatively brief excursions into the world of men before taking up . . . the role to W'hich nature has predestined us. of being wife, mother and home-

maker.”

Dr. Patai bases his views on a comparative study of status of women around the world. He has written the Introduction to and edited “Women in the Modern World” Free Press, New Y’brk, 22 original articles by experts—18 of them women

—assessing the feminine role in major societies. In an interview, the scientist said that women are the most “advanced”—have the most freedom anyway—in the United States, Great Britain, the Scandinarian Countries and Soviet Russia. Reconciliation of roles of wifemother and breadwinner “does not yet loom as large on the Afro-Asian horizon,” he says. “But in the case of the "relatively few” women in that part of the world who have tried careers “the decision is being made with increasing frequency for the home . . Maybe one reason today's woman also prefers the home Is the deference she used to receive before “emancipation.” For as Patai says, "what man gets up on a subway or bus now to give a woman a seat!”

major concern when children I begin to feel rejected and lose confidence in themselves. This usually occurs when children have not been adequately prepared to react when a child annoys them. It may also occur when children have a basic lack of confidence, or have been consistently teased to the point W'here they begin to wonder about themselves. This problem can be avoided or corrected by teaching children how to respond to this type of problem. It is more effective to prevent the problem than to let it develop and then try to remove it. The home atmosphere has much influence on a child's ability to accept teasing or any j other kind of criticism. The child who Is secure through love and self respect tends to be better adjusted. If his home includes good natured teasing, he is in a better position to accept this from his peers. There are several facts which a child should understand. When he is criticized or teased by another child, his own reaction is important. If he gets upset, the child who is teasing him Mill probably continue since the pleasure of teasing is usually i aimed at creating anger and annoyance. On the other hand a child who ignores teasing and laughs it off will in effect be discouraging it. On many occasions teasing is only meant in a playful manner. A child should learn to distinguish between play and maliciousness. Playful teasing!

usually occurs between friends who ordinarily respect each other. Malicious teasing usually occurs when jealousy exists. Finally it is important for a child to learn how to deal with difficult situations. The parent who advises the child to avoid such problems is not really helping him. It is better adric* to guide the child on how to handle the problem by facing It and learning how to get along with all kinds of people. Teasing which cannot be alleviated as suggested abov# should be referred to the school psychologist. Perhaps the child who is constantly teased it creating the problem himself.
