'CHILD GUIDANCE To Avoid Jealousy Children Should Be Given Equal Rights By 6. CLEVELAND MYERS For as long as I can remember, I have heard parents and their relatives and friends refer to a youngster from nine months to two or three years of age, as "good." They usually have meant that he sleeps well, eats well, rarely cries and is easily managed. Hearing this expression often, the youngster gets a strange notion of the word It's no secret that, however com- Janionabie young parents are, they for the affections of the baby and young child. As soon as he can talk, one of them often ask him, "Whose boy (or girl) are you?" If the youngster answers to the father's question. "Daddy's ," his mother may say, "Oh, I thought you are Mama's boy." Then the child is confused and torn between the wishes to please both parents. Worst of all, this little child get it into his head that he 4 Mig ene parent more than In any family, a parent may be asked this question. Though it should not arouse undue worry, it should indicate that something very intense. has prompted the child to pose this question. At such time it is well to reply, "Of course I love you as much as --" without fur- ther words; and from then on to work on a long-time program which will, without words, reassure the child. RESENT SUGGESTION Parents who w rite me of such a child often will go on at great length to try to convince me there is no occasion for jealousy. In- deed, some parents, being told that jealousy is probably at the root of a child's behavior, seem to be hurt, even angered, at the im- plied suggestion that either of 'the parents has been partial. It usually is safe for a parent to suspect jealousy in one of two or more children, when this one child seems less happy and co- operative than a brother or sis- ter. It can't do any harm to keep checking on these matters and im- aging how each child feels about his place in the family af- fections. No matter iow sure we are that a child has no occasion to doubt his relative security, we always should remember that what he supposes is is so for him. piss o MARY HAWORTH'S MATL : Exploited By Faithless Lover Advised To Seek Other Interests Dear Mary Haworth: Everybody has a story; but I haven't written mine and am not doing so now. I read your column daily and I am sure you have no way of know- ing how much you help those who follow your sound common sense, objective outlook and reliance upon a spiritual approach to life. There is seldom a day that I don't find a sentence or paragraph in your writings that lifts and in- spires me. I do want you to write a book, one of those designed for valuing him, and undervaluing my- self, in letting him come back to me after he has manifested a pref- erence for someone else. I tell my- self there is scarcly a woman, rich. or poor, beautiful or ugly, who hasn't had to wait at some point in her life, for the man she loves to return to her. And has suffered while she waited. When and how is one to draw the line? What does it mean when a man treats you like a redheaded tepchild, but still refuses to cut dipping into when the spirit is troubled. There is a thread run- ning through your writing that I wish you would take time to ex- plore further. It is the recurrent reminder that in any situation, one person has certain values for an- other. J Alan, 1 cannot proceed without telling at least a part of my dif- ficulty. I am deeply involved with a man who, for the present at least, isn't returning my affection in kind. I have full reason to rule him out of my life completely, but despjte everything he does, I continue to value him as a person, to have need of his kindly spirit, thoughtful ways and' easy-going tolerance.

SUPPORTS LIFE Dear K.S.: Those "certain val- ues" that one person has for an- other in relationship are really facets of the central value of hu- man relationship itself. 4 The human being cannot thrive, indeed can hardly survive, in iso- lation from his fellows. His phy- sical welfare, and his social and pyschological (or spiritual) growth depend upon co-operative inter- change with others. Significantly, one of the salient points of true Christianity is emphasis on fellow- ship, expressed. in reciprocal love and care. ed. together in My name, there am I in the midst of them," Jesus said thus identifying Himself with the "I AM" godhead: The causative, creative spirit that contains ani- mates the universe. And thus Jesus bequeaths mankind a fellowship- technique whereby humans may contact regenerative power at the source, and invoke its action in their personal experience, accord- ing to their receptivity or concept of need. L In your involvement with Jeff (let's "call him), you submissively accept the crumbs of attention he offers, not so much because you overvalue him and undervalue yourself, as because you lack al- ternative emotional support. Your overall record of frustration and sultering -- wherein the problem with Jeff is only one symptomatic chapter--ties in with considerable failure on your part to affiliate with good society, I am sure. And by good society I mean wholesome in- dividuals, kindly disposed towards mutual helpfulness. OUTGROW DELUSION A neurotic undertow of infantile passivity and dependency probably accounts for your anxious fidelity to Jeff. By some happenstance you've drifted into a habit of ac- commodating yourself to his ex- ploitative requirements. And as they lessen, and he dallies else- where, you continue to pretend that he is as much a part of your routine as ever, thus evading a shakp necessity to find real fellow- s| solution of your predicament is to come out of your shell, a outgrow this delusive conviction that your survival depends on Jeff.

Hor- ticulturists who have tried it are keen on the results. All you do is take a small sheet of polythene film about seven inches square. You can buy sheet polythene in dry-goods stores or, easier still, use that which is ap- pearing more and more these days as wrapping for fruits and vege- tables. Squeeze a handful of wet sphag- num moss lightly to remove water and place it on the polythene film. Make your cutting in the usual manner and nestle th base nearly to the bottom of the moss. Bring up the sides of polythene and place a rubber band argund them so as to enclose the ball of moss. The upper portion of the branch and the leaves are not covered by the polythene, of course. Now place the wrapped plant in high humidity and keep the temper- Fahrenheit. No watering will be needed during the two or three tion. . Major advantages of this method are these: The time of rooting and quality of the roots can be seen easily through the polythene and the cuttings will root a little faster than bench cuttings made at the same time. Another is that disease is less likely to occur in the plants. : Here is another yse for polythene in horticulture: Before you go away on vacation this summer, wrap a sheet of polythene around a flower pot and bring the ends together, securing them with an elastic band at the base of the plant. This way, the plant can go for more than two weeks without watering. 20,000 Pilgrims Make Their Way To Saguenay Shrine CHICOUTIMI, Que. (CP) -- A colorful procession winds its way annually through the rolling, pic- turesque hills near this Saguenay district city as Roman Catholics pay tribute to the men's special Residents have never credited their favorite saint with any mir- acles. But each year the proces- sion to her shrine gets longer. Recently, more than 20,000 peo- ple marched in a procession that marked the 75th anniversary of the last pilgrimage. The first pilgrimage was made May 16, 1878, by four priests, eight nd | seminarians and 80 students at the Chicoutimi seminary. The shrine is located on a hilltop across the Saguenary river from here. Travel was hazardous in the days of the original pilgrims. Seminary annals tell how the pilgrims cros- sed Ha Ha Bay on the Saguenay by horseboat -- shallow ferries driven by a team of horses walk- ing an inclined treadmill.

Anne, built in 1861, the pilgrims sang hymns, celebfated mass, and prayed for spiritual favors before returning home. Annual journeys were made from 1878 to 1881 when heavy rain forc- ed cancellation of a scheduled pil- grimage. For some unrecorded reason, another pilgrimage was not made until 1885. In 1895, local religious authorit- ies encouraged the celebrations and they became diocesan in scope for the first time. Since then all parishes in the Chicoutimi diocese have been taking part in the pil- grimage. ™ The village of Ste. Anne is dec- orated and illuminated each year in preparation for the event.
