PAGE 18 A I I I THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 2, 1964 THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 2, 1964 Molly Mayfield Tell Me Again How DEAR MRS. MAYFIELD: A friend recently built a new home which is very nice and comfortable. She is a lovely person and I enjoy her hospitality, but she is constantly "fishing" for compliments. I've run out of adjectives about her "beautiful" home and sometimes her cooking is far from the 'bragging" kind. Except for this annoying habit, she is a fine person, but to a lot of her friends her house has become the "brag box." We'd appreciate any suggestions on how to break her of this irritating practice.

CONCERNED DEAR CONCERNED: Try a disinterested "uh huh" the next time you are expected to "brag" about her house and then switch quickly to a totally different subject. If she persists, cut your visit snort. You may leave her with her mouth wide open, but she'll get the point eventually. Just don't go along with her expectations; he very cool and cagey and throw away all adjectives. An occasional "it's OK" or an indifferent "that's nice" is sure to slow her down.

When she mentions her house or cooking, ask her the price of fish! Anything to avoid an answer. Caution if your friends won't cooperate in this little venture, you may lose a friend; but if you all stick together, I'll bet she takes the hint. Molly Mayfield GOOD EVENING to Jack L. Vanderkolk Molly. Heavy Weight Of Friendship DEAR MRS.

MAYFIELD: I make most of my children's clothes as well as my own and an occasional dress for a friend, but once I begin sewing for people outside the family, it just snowballs; I find swamped. Everyone thinks I will do her sewing. Some people even buy things that don't fit because they know I'll alter them. I've even charged (and I don't like to), but they just say, "Whenever you get time will be all right" I get nervous and upset when this stuff piles up and I have several small children. Besides, I haven't been well the past year.

My friends know all this, but it doesn't stop them. I don't like to be selfish, but this is getting me down. My husband says, "Just don't do it." How can I without hurting their feelings? EASY MARK DEAR EASY MARK: I'm afraid this situation is your own fault. All you need to say is, "Sorry, I just haven't the time." This isn't being rude or hurt- Ing anyone's feelings anyone with an ounce of common sense can see that you have plenty to dp with your own home and family. If you can't bring yourself to say "no," let the stuff pile up (but out of sight) and just forget about it.

Don't promise anyone that you will have something finished at a certain time. If you do that, you're stuck! Listen to your husband. Who wants to be a beast of burden! Molly Mayfield Delinquent Parents DEAR MRS. MAYFIELD: My brother is headed for a big heartbreak and a wrong start in life with the girls. He is only 13 years old and imagines himself to be in love with an 18-year-old female who used to be my best friend! I guess that doesn't sound too bad except you haven't heard It all.

Her mother and father don't seem to like my brother and don't want him around. Soooooo, about 10 at night, when everyone is in bed, he goes over to her house and stays until 3 or 4 in the morning if you can imagine that! Her mother and father have not found his out yet, but mine have. They have laid down the law, given him the devil, but be still slips out. He knows I know and he acts as nasty as can be to me. What are we to do? WORRIED P.S.

I might add, the girl does not have too good a reputation. DEAR WORRIED: I feel very sorry for your parents if they can't control a 13- year-old boy. And, most assuredly, I feel very sorry for the boy. He needs training and discipline, and your parents owe just this to him. Why can't they see this? Surely, they could punish him, deny him privileges and exert the authority that belongs to parents if they wanted to or really tried.

parents ought to lock him in his room if they have to. And they ought to give a food verbal shellacking to that gal who's encouraging this 13- fear-old. May I say she sounds like a of monster?

$1.31 98' Pik-llik Potatoes PAGE It Working Conditions Big Issue As Auto Talks Get Under Way By CHARLES C. CAIN DETROIT The 1964 auto labor talks were scarcely under way before UAW President Walter P. Reuther tossed onto the bargaining table what well may the most difficult problem for the negotiators. It Is that of working conditions and production standards. The UAW insists the two itemi are inseparable and must tw treated as one problem.

EVEN BEFORE walked into a conference room at the General Motors headquarters building Tuesday for the opeiing session, he told newsmen: "We realize full well that a factory is not a lounge and that our workers are there to do a day's work. But we will not tolerate conditions where a worker is robbed of a sense of dignity because a machine dominates him." The UAW, as one of its first orders of business, presented to GM a 20-page paper outlining what the union considers to some intolerable working conditions at GM. Louis G. Seaton, GM president-personnel, said the company would study it and 37 other papers which the union has said it will present to back up its bargaining position. will, in the proper time, answer those items which we deem of public interest," Seaton said.

WHILE GM was selected as the site at which the UAW first publicized its working conditions issue, similar demands will be served on Ford, Chrysler and American Motors. Observers conceded the working standards issue would much more difficult to handle than some other items such as pension, curbs on excessive overtime, wage increases and early retirement. In most of those cases, negotiators will be dealing in dollars and cents issues, something concrete. But when it comes to working conditions and production standards, the problem becomes multi-faceted. For instance, at General Motors the bargaining teams will have to work out a national contract including production standard clauses.

These are supplemented in virtually every case by local agreements covering GM's 125 plants in 69 U.S. cities. IN INI, GM's negotiators reached agreemtnt on the national level, but ran Into a series of strikes on the local level. All these cost GM production units just at the time the firm was getting ready for its 1962 model run. At the Big Three, production workers now get 24 minutes relief time each day, plus a 30 minute lunch break.

Reuther said of this problem: "In many GM plants, local managements have taken the position that when an is relieved from his operation, he must march directly to washroom and either stay there during his entire relief period or return immediately to his operation and resume work. "At least one plant when hard pressed to defend this absurd order modified it to the extent that the employe could leave the rest room, but still insisted that he must stand at attention in a designated area until his relief period was ended." REUTHER SAID the UAW would insist on more relief time at GM but set no figure. "We have outlined the overall problem and will await a move from General Motors toward easing 'a Reuther aide said. The UAW also will ask the auto makers to ease the production line "so the worker will not feel he is chained to his job." Reuther said auto workers on the assembly line are now asked to perform at the same peak in the final hour of their work day as they are hi the first hour. He contended this was unreasonable.

GM and the other auto companies are expected to cite the high costs of easing relief time. One estimate was that an additional minute of relief time for the 390,000 production workers at the Big Three would cost the auto makers more than $90 million a year. It is traditional hi the auto labor talks that the union presents its cate first and publicizes it to attract as much public support as possible. The companies then will have their day. Shoestrinf can Ellis Island May Public Park WASHINGTON-UPI-The Interior Department may turn Ellis Island, gateway to America for more than 16 million immigrants arriving in New York, into a national historical sanctuary and public park.

The tentative plan for the island, which has been doee4 since 1954, was presented the Senate yesterday..
