They | could be marvelous assets if he| would realize he must do things| that are expected of him." In choosing their class presi-| dent or student representative, | school children don't always rate very highly those qualities of char- actor their teachers put foremost. | When a leader thus chosen by his | classmates is lacking in industry and dependability, the ill effect ig the class or entire schol can be] very great, indeed. Also, the ef- fect upon the chosen leader can be bad. He can get by with bluffing, tricks of Slagour and veneer. LEADERSHIP QUALITIES Fortunately, some teachers, even in the elementary grades, lead their children in discussing the qualities they should look for in electing their leaders; and such discussion is especially desirable in" jumior and senior high school. | § It is a first essential of education in a school democracy, in prep- aration for wider practice in dem- ocracy the community, state and nation. The mother of a high school boy writes about one of these | youths who ride along on their charm: "He has failed twice in| the lower grades and is now doing | poor work in high school. He has | been annoying his teachers be-| cause he will not do his work and | needs constant pushing and guid- ing. The teachers never complain MARY HAWORTH'S MAIL When Visit of Elderly Relative Constitutes a Domestic Problem Dear Mary Haworth: A dear old lady, related to my husband, has come to live with me, and insists on helping all the time. She really is sweet and she really wants to help--but her methods are so dif- ferent from mine that her "help- fulness" just about drives me nuts. 1 feel absolutely like throwing her out of the kitchen, and be- lieve me I now understand the saying "No kitchen is big enough for two women." But I do feel so guilty about my sentiments. I have explained to her that I have my own ways of doing tilings, to which she says sweetly--'Yes, I know but I must help you." 1 know everyone needs to feel necessary, so I am giving her little jobs but I do want her to stay out of the kitchen--and that is one thing she just won't do! What should my reaction be? She also talks a great deal, until my head reels, but I cannot be rude 1 still revert to my early training-- to be always polite to older per- sons. I, too, will be old some day and I shall want people to .be tolerant of me. Am I just a crab about Mrs. X? If so, please tell me how to reorganize my think- ing, for I sincerely wish to do the right thing. I do enjoy your articles so much, E. D. Dear E. D.: The problem 1 see is that two gentlewomen, drilled in old school manners and sentime: ts, are having a difficult time trying to arrive at a brass tacks (or honest adjustment to new situa- tion and relationship, awkwardly involving both. Evidently Mrs. X is trying to] if a lift. When she talks too much, dignify her plight by acting as if she were a guest in your house, not a dependent trapped by cir- cumstances. Pursuant to this face saving notion, she insists upon helping despite your protests--as if you both were being polite in the Alfonso-and-Gaston tradition of "Permit me--!" But also she wants to alleviate the ache of dependency, which all elderly dependents inescapably feel by being useful in some measure. I suppose--to a degree that you may appreciate (and to that ex- tent welcome her presence). Thus her motives are mixed in being a well meaning pest in the kitchen--as I gee picture. As for your attitude, it seems humane and sensibly balanced, over all. pitable and sympathetic. You feel no latent hostility towards Mrs. X. Rather you long to convince her of your absolute' good will. But even so, you aren't disposed to share the driver's seat in the field of your rightful authority as You are sincerely hos-|t0 Lionettec Entertain At Social Evening A social evening, at which hus- bands of members were guests, replaced the regular March meet- ing of the Lionettes. Preceding the evening's enter- tainment a short business meeting, with vice president, Mrs. Law- rence Kehoe presiding, was held at which arrangements were made for meetings and bowling for the Humoresque club for the coming month. Two spirited games of bowling with some remarkable scores were enjoyed and the party adjourned e CRA, While the entertain- ment committee prepared refresh- ments an amusing St. Patricks contest provided much amusement and numerous fines for the penalty X. Guests then sat down to refresh- ments served at a long table de- mistress of the household. You'd |corated in green complete with like Mrs, X to respect your work methods and your wishes, once you've stated them. And in my judgment, this is a fair require- ment in the set-up. FIRM TONE Elderly persons tend to be ob- stinately assertive in pursuing their own ideas' of collaboration. Often they seem blind and deaf to family views that conflict with their own. In which case, if they are dependent, they should be treated courteously, but with the emphatic firmness that carries, weight. Treat Mrs. X as the heed- less unruly child she is, in her latest phase. Assign her a list of suitable chores, to be done when she won't collide with you. Explain this is her regular share of the house- work and you will handle the rest--calling on her if you want just don't answer. Don't try to sustain an exchange. Learn to think or woolgather while she rambles. Mary Haworth counsels through her column, not by mail or per- sonal interview. Write her in care of this newspaper, Whether Sewing Machine or Car Both Require Expert Handling Motorist husbands often deplore back seat driving wives. But mos men can give good back seat ad- vice to wives about running a sewing machine. Sewing centre ex- perts say this is because men al- ways appreciate what it means to get the most out of a good ma- chin Cultivate the habit of treating the mechanism of your sewing ma- chine with as much loving care, say the experts, as your husband lavishes on his car. Singer sewing centres who conduct sewing lessons all year round for thousands of women, and who have been in the field longest with quality machines, say that the new quicker and-eas- jer sewing methods they teach have been developed from experi- menting, to find out how to get more out of their machines. Taking a sewing course before using a sewing machine for the about him as a naughty boy, They | # say he is a good boy, polite, well- mannered and has many likable characteristics. He was president of his eighth grade class and now is president of his class. We and his teachers feel he is not doing what he is capable of doing." In writing this mother, I ad- vised her to have the native men- tal ability and the learning pro- gress of her son tested by an ex- pert. In case he is a poor reader, that could be a factor, and there- fore he might profit from help of a tutor. LATE, FOR DISCIPLINE Between the lines of the mother's letter, I read indications that this boy has never learned to share in home duties and responsibili- ties, nor has he been required to do what he didn't feel like doing. It's pretty late to discipline him now. But with his extraordinary success at winning social accep- tance among his classmates he might, at moments when he is emotionally receptive and his mother emotionally persuasive, be led to see why he should try Easter is the time when men think of new automobiles and women of new clothes. Mother or | daughter could try sewing this smart shortie coat for spring. There are courses in local sew- ing centres for both adults and teen-agers where simple tailor- ing can be learned. Sewing cen- tres advise using the blind hem- ming foot to save hours of preci- ous time in stitching and lining coats. when you want to have al- .most invisible stitches. t | mon with taking a driving course first time has a good deal in com- before first getting behind the the wheel of a car, they observe. Your best results come from the way you handle your machine. Consider speeding. No traffic officer regulates the home dress- maker's speed. But breakneck speed on the sewing machine is just as fatal to goo dseams as speeding is to life and limb in driving a car. Smooth starting and stopping, rounding curves without jerking are the marks of a good dress- maker as well as a good motorist. Knee or foot control should be used at the sewing machine with the same care to effect smooth changes of speed or direction as one would use driving a car. Curv- ed seams at shoulders, neck or col- lars will improve one hundred per cent from smooth control of the sewing machine. The wrong thread for the ma- terial can cause as much damage to seams as the wrong oil can impede driving. Sewing oentres supply charts showing the right kind of thread for varieties of fab- rie. _ Basting, hemming, button-holing, or sewing in zippers by hand in- stead of using sewing machine at- tachments, say sewing centres, is like preferring a car with a crank instead of an automatic self-start- er. So -- wives, take a tip from your husbands about having re- spect for a good machine. Pile up a "No - accident" record in your sewing, and fill your wardrobe with attractive clothes at less ex- pense.

Her name is Jocelyn Brando, and she's the sister of the much- publicized Marlon. Here for her first movie role, as Glenn Ford's murdered wife in '"The Big Heat," she has firm words in defence of her brother. "Marlon is a fine actor and a very interesting person," she re- marked between movie scenes. "I would like him as a good friend, even if he weren't my brother. As a matter of fact, we are good friends. y " "That's why I get so mad at some of the things I read about him. His clothes, for example. He's Jon, 28 sloppy as he is made out "Since he has become a star, he dresses much better." After a shaky start, Miss Brando is beginning to like the experience of making movies. She was the first in the family to go on the stage, Marlon following her exam- ple when his attempts at schooling and other work failed. Her first job was in a show called "The Crosus," which lasted all of a week on Broadway. This one is neat, articulate, and | io.

She was under- study to Dorothy McGuire, and the was blessed with unfailing health, Jocelyn finally got a chance #0 80 onstage, but not to replace Miss McGuire. Frances Starr, playing the mother role, fell ill. The acts ress playing the sister took over, and Jocelyn portrayed the sister. Jocelyn was about a foot shorter than the actress she replaced, Miss McGuire giggled 'because it all through the performance. Miss Brando's next big part was as the nurse, the only woman in "Mister Roberts." She said she didn't seem too out of place, since the stage Thanager and the goat in the show were also female.
