10 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdoy, July 19, 1966 ANN LANDERS Meddling Wife Deserves Husband's Reprimand Dear Ann Landers: My hus- band and I went to the airport to meet friends arriving from Mexico City.. While waiting, 1 noticed a young man in uni- form, his sobbing wife seated next to him, She was holding a tiny infant in her arms, and there was also an older woman --presumably the soldier's mother, The woman turned to me and said, "Isn't it terrible that 'oung families have to be roken up this way?" I re- lied, "Yes, it's very sad," en, I asked, "How old is the baby?" She answered, "he was born 10 days ago." I sald, "Don't you think it is a little foolish to bring a new- born baby to an airport?" The woman got red in the face and shouted, 'That baby is seeing his father off to war! Don't you understand?"' I said, "A 10-day old baby doesn't see anything. Don't you understand! Infants belong at home, not in public places with millions of germs." My husband yanked my arm and pulled me to the other side of the room. He gave me a in for the long look--and I do mean long, My wife and I have not said much because we don't want to make it a cause celebre, The boy's grandmother was here yesterday and said some- thing to the boy about his "ridiculous mane," Our son said styles come and go and this-was-the-style right now and you can't really tell anything about a guy by a at his hair, Right or wrong --Just Asking Dear Just; Wrong. You can tell a great deal about a guy by looking at his hair, One thing you can tell is if he be- lieves in soap and water, Long hair may be the style but some of the kids I've seen look like fugitives from the board of health. I wish crew cuts would come back. And the sooner the better. Dear Ann Landers: I'm a career girl on the shady side of and overweight. But I do have some sense in my head, and I could make the right man marriage. I'm not one of those women who thinks I must be terrible bawling out for "'speak- ing out of turn."

Or do some of them exaggerated the opportu- nities in a job? After several weeks of read- ing these ads, I have found that some jobs don't sound too prom- ising and that other seem too to be true, Since I am) planning to look for work very soon, I would like to know how I can tell which ads to believe. Dear K. P.: Regardless of how careful) newspapers are about publish- ing only bona fide classified oH there are always some em- ployers who try to exaggerate opportunities and stretch the truth about jobs just as far as they. can without violating the law or insulting a reader's in- telligence. You will find, however, that the more you read job ads, the more your common sense will help you draw the line between those ads with a promise that! is on the level and the -- ones that have you owning the firm two weeks after you are hired, Usually you will find the most reliable advertisements are the most conservative, confining themselves to a mention of the; job's title and the qualifications the employer wants.

It is important to do) this, because employers some- times judge how well you un- derstand and follow directions by the way you fill out an ap- plication.

MYERS, PhD Among the most distressing letters trom parents i read are those which relate to wordy warfare with a child, 1 find my- self sorry for both the child and parent. Now I feel myself suf- fering with the child and again with the parents. After reading several such letters in sequence 1 feel pretty low myself. So frequently 1 wish I could give the right advice but usually fee! very inadequate. Some of these letters indicate that such word battles occur often on the same day and day after day; that the child and parent go around for hours mad at each other and rarely enjoy each other as precious. persons. Although these letters may be about a youngster as young as six, eight, or 10, most of them are around the teen-ager. I feel sure this tragic parent- child warfare didn't begin all at once but had been growing for years. I keep wishing I could have talked' with the par- ent years ago when I could have been more useful, But one can- not hope to have a parent and child start all over again. Suppose you have had fre- quent word battles with your son or daughter. You might be strong enough in self-manage- ment to get a cease-fire next time you see a battle coming, You might, if you are able to silence your guns and say noth- ing back, however violent the volley you received. You hardly can hope that your child will be first to cease fire. Being in the more strate- gic position, you might be able to do so. Then you can be pretty sure the guns from the other side will quit firing pretty |soon also. Indeed, they may |quickly run out of ammunition, | You might be so powerful as to prevent another engagement. You might be so wise as to another engagement. You might be so wise as 'to know what could start another volley from your child and be so skillful as to disperse the cause, You might effect a per- manent ceasefire. However, you jwill feel you are winning glori- jously if there is only an occa- sional light volley shot at you again. Not expecting so much of yourself, you might, however, be able to talk over in private A O88 Poly ep Paretns Should Control Recurring Word Battles with the father about the best possible ways to reduce the causes fer possible -fature--con- flicts with your child, Naturally you parents both will consider what you expect of your son or daughter in retation to your con- trol of him or her and the re- sources you together have for acquiring desirable child co- operation and obedience, and for. cultivating companionship with this child, , Why do many parents engage in wordy warfare with their children seven, 10 or 15 years of age'? They had not effectively taught these youngsters to re- spect the little word "no" from the time they began to creep and toddle nor won their abiding affection and co-operation, TOO MUCH TALK Being so eager to be reason- able, these parents trusted too much to talk, They were not de- cisive or consistent;they often repeated no or don't, feeling more angry and raising the voice higher on each suceeding repetition. When parents com- manded the child after the age of five or six to do something and he began to ask why, they often tried unduly hard to ex- plain. By the age of 10 or 12 the child may rarely have heard a forbidding or requirement with- out starting an argument with his parents and putting them on the witness stand. To prevent this outrageous practice, be sure you are rea- sonable in any command you make. If not sure the child un- derstands, state your reason in the fewest possible words be- fore making the command, then make it and say nothing more, expecting him to obey, Refuse to argue with any child over such matters. Don't talk back to him. Be too proud to fight with him, ANSWERING QUESTIONS Q. Our son was given a list of books by his teacher to read during summer on which he would be tested in September. He has done almost nothing on them yet. What can we do? A. If you have sufficient con- trol of him, write a schedule, indicating the number of books he must have read by certain \dates, Set an effective penalty which you can enforce, for each delinquency.
