Raising a Genius? Not Easy An extra-special cream sauce or custard is made with half milk, half cream.

NEW YORK Ever have trouble coping with your teenager? How would you like it if he were a genius? "It's not easy," says Mra. Regina Fischer of Brooklyn. Her 15-year-old son, Bobby, is a genius at chess. He won the United States championship at 14 and became the youngest International Grand Master in history this summer. His one dream is to snatch the world chess crown from the present champion, Russia's Mikhail Botvinnlk.

One of Mrs. Fischer's definitely "not easy" moments came last summer when Bobby appeared to be stranded in Yugoslavia after ills first international tournament. "He had a round trip ticket, but nobody made any reservations for him and he couldn't get a plane. I knew he'd spent most of his money at. the World Fair in Belgium and I was afraid the Yugoslav Chess Federation wouldn't go on paying for him after the tournament had ended.

"I wont to. the Yugoslav Embassy but it was tiie weekend and I couldn't find anybody. I tried to call Bobby, but they said he had left by train. "I was really worried. 1 knew he was loaded down with books and I didn't see how he could manage.

He doesn't speak the languages. I could just see him sleeping in a train station somewhere and people stealing everything he had." But Bobby used his tournament prize money to get to Munich where he found plane spact home. Chess is not a popular gam a and there are no to send the American champion to tournaments. Bobby won two tickets to Yugoslavia on a television program. His 21-year-old sister, Joan, took the second.

"Bobby doesn't like the idea of his mother going around with him to tournaments. Besides, I figured it would be better for me to be here in case anything was needed money, primarily." She laughed ruefully a slender, dark-haired woman with a smiling mouth in a gamine face. The Fischers separated when Bobby was 2 and Mra. Fischer raised her two' children on her earnings as a nurse. "I don't discipline Bobby.

He's loo big. Anyway, there's not much to say. He comes home and sticks his nose in a chess book, stops to eat, and lie's back again until it's time to go to bed. "Bobby's one of the ones who play for blood as they sa.y In chess. He's serious.

He has to study all the time. The countries publish pamphlets and books at a great openings always being worked out. "He's not interested in girls yet they don't play chess. He doesn't smoke or drink. He does chew his nails down to the bone, but I'm afraid to make, him stop.

I don't know what he might take up. "Some of these chess players twitch all over. Honest. They start with an eye and twitch down to their feet and start again. I'd rather he chewed his nails." "The only thing I do is nag him to some fresh air.

This year NEW SPRING MERCHANDISE ARRIVING DAILY GREEN'S he's joined the and says he's going to get in better physical shape. "He used to be wonderful at sports in fact, he himself used to say he wanted to be a baseball player. "I don't know a thing about chess. In fact, I tried to make him stop for four years. But I've given up now." 25th Anniversary To Be Celebrated By Wayne Polleys Mr.

Mtrcer Street Greenville Featuring Casual Wear, for Bre-Teens, and Aliases Eldest Son Has Tough Row to Hoe By DOROTHY V. WHIFFLE, M.D. "Ed is the most difficult child in our family.

He always has been. He's 15 now. He is forever hurting Sally's feelings and he can't pass by Tom without giving him a punch that more often than not leads to a'fight. We can't get him to' do a bit of work around the house and his grades aren't very good in school." What a list of complaints about one boy! Let's look at what Ed has to say about his family. He has a list of complaints too.

Son's Complaints "Sally, she's Dad's favorite. Dad thinks she is just about perfect) Why can't I get good grades like Sally? Why can't I be polite like Sally? Why don't I keep my room neat the way Sally docs? Namby-pamby little sissy I wouldn't be like her for a million dollars. "As for Tom, he's a brat. He's always getting into my things and Mom won't do a thing to stop him. He broke one of my best jazz records the other day.

I'd told him never to touch them and all Mom did was to say, 'Accidents will They expect me to do all the chores I'm supposed to cut the lawn, wash the car, clean the cellar. "I'm the eldest, they say, and I should lake some responsibility for the home. Maybe I'm the oldest but there's nothing the matter with those other kids, and they don't have to do a thing. "And something else" when Ed gets going his abuses at home just pour out of him "they try to treat me like a baby. 'Where are you going, 'Be sure to be back on 'Ed, its time to go to 'Ed, wear your It's sickening." What is the real trouble in Ed's family arid what can he do about it? Probably some of the trouble started long late now to go back and change.

But perhaps if there's a bit more understanding on the part of Ed and his parents of how tilings come about it will help to improve family relationships now. Only Child For the first three years of Ed's life he was an only child and had Ihe undivided attention not only of his parents, but' of his grandparents as well. Then alojig came Sally and all of a sudden Ed had to share his most precious poscssions (his family) with this intruder. To this day lie hasen't gotten over his jealousy of Sally. It hasn't made it any easier for him that his parents hold Sally up as an example of perfection to him.

This only increases his resentment against her. Ed needs to be appreciated at home for what he is. He is a good athlete, crazy about baseball. He is interested in mechanics, wants a car of his own as soon as he's old enough for a driver's license. His father says no teen-ager of his will ever have an old jalopy.

Ed's parents need to do a job in making him feel more worthwhile. They need to. build him up and let him know they think he is a good kid. Ed himself is old enough to understand that much of his resentment is not really based on fact as it is today. His sister does have some good points and she's tremendously proud of her big brother's record on the baseball team.

Brags about him to all her friends. She's as much interested in jazz as he is and with a lilfle real effort on both their parts they might discover that each was not only bearable but even quite decent.
