THE MATURE PARENT SEEK TRUE KEY TO DISTRUST OF CHILD'S INITIATIVE MRS. MlltlKI LAWRENCE Newspaper Enterprise Assn. He came home the other day to inquire anxiously into his par plans to build an atom.e bomb shelter Anyone who fail ed to build one. a father had said, was toward the possibility of atomic attack, and went on to talk oo- singly of the courage of oui ceio niid forebears woo did not evade the obligation to build stockades against Indian attack. To their anxiou-.

questions, his angry parents said. are thinking about the problem In their behalf I am angn too. Atomic attack is not attack by Indians. When colonial Americans emerged from their sto ades after Indian attack, they could inhale the outside air as pure The water their brorncs could still be list'd to slake their thirst The leaves of their or ehards and forests still blev fresh and green in clean winds. Though their cabins had be- burned, they knew that the lii which had destroyed them was the same fire wnieh would agai.i Warm then hearths at night.

As they looked over their t'd crops, they knew as surely as spring would come again that their fields could be resown la corn and squash, that grass of another season would return to heal the wounds of the scorch' earth around their homesteads. Such co-operation by the earlh, we have been told, will not be ours after atomic attack. So we are not I think, to recoil from the thougnt so such attack. Though before in human history man has turned upon man and his constructions the homes we have built, the families we have begotten, the crops we hiv? have before in human history has man threatened to turn upon his Earth itself: his nourisher, the giver of his fish, his meat and bread tnaf of which is own body is mad If we Americans shrink from the thought of atomic attack it not because we are but because you have to be a li-- tle crazy to entertain the idea if a life hatred so aM-encompassing as such attack represents. We'll come along.

But as we struggle to comprehend madness. we want our children used as bomb-shelter salesmen. They represent our trust in life We begot them in love of life. So, in the name of Life and the of it. try and keep bomb shelter talk and planning business.

For no woman can resist a gift that makes her feel beautifully feminine. Mrs. Muriel Lawrence Newspaper Enterprise Assn. Mrs mother was a lady who was always biting off more than she could chew. She would say, must get that carving knife but for years her holiday turkeys were carved with the big kitchen knife.

She would slice off the too tight top of Mrs. favorite dress but instead of turning it into the little school skirt sooner or later Mrs, would find her mutilated garment stuffed a- way in rag bag In a burst of enthusiasm Mama would rip all the shelf coverings in the I kitchen closet, repaper two of the shelves and leave the oth- ers bare and unsightly. Inevitably Mrs. came to the conclusion that people just never finish hat they begin. But she was unaware of that conclu- sion because her dependent res pect for Mama made it impossible to register weaknesses as personal and private to i her As a result, Mrs, gets very upset at any evidence of iniative I in her children.

Yesterday she felt intense an noyance when she discovered that Jimmy had disassembled his wagon in the driveway Though he is not Mama, she simply could not credit him with the follow- through required to reassemble style woo! lying next his wagon. Su far as Mrs was concerned the litter in the driveway was there to Accordingly, she fussed and fussed at Jimmy until he lost his temper and had to be punished for impudence. For weeks now she has been compelled to discourage Margie's plan to knit herself a sweater Whever her daughter raises the question of the purchase of needles and wool. Mrs says: do you want to bother with knitting one for when you can get just the color and you want She envisions hanks of and a half-knitted sweater around the house for the 10 years 1 Our discouragement of initative in children is often derived from experiences with childhood authorities like Mrs P's mama. It wise to become aware of this reasonable to start ask ing ourselves: What basis have I for dis trusting Jimmy's interest in re assembling his When Jane takes a magazine to her i room, why am I always so sure that never see it Why must I always feel that the projects my children undertake will be doomed to incom pleteness ami failure Such distrust of children's initiative is not the result of our experience with the children.
