If only you could put yourself in the place you i would naturally do the right thing I Children Who Br CARRY CLEVELAND MYERS PkD THOUSANDS of parents pity thein-st-lves b-eaue of their embarrassment 'over the tot who say a word wln-n accosted by a stranger to the child Their em-lianassiiiont What about the child's embarrassment? lr Myers: We have a problem with our daughter four years old She talk to people not even when they speak to her strangers and friends alike Inferiority Complex a feeling it may be an in-ferioi ity complex but then again 1 don't know due to the fact that she's very attractive intelligent healthy the answer to every mother's prayer We think that we at home give her too much attention (she's the only child) but on the outside people always remark on her beautiful hair pretty face nice body She is a little vain 1 suppose tried talking to her about it She promises reluctantly to say next time but she it embarrasses me to the point where 1 become quite angry with her which of course doesn't help either She doesn't rmx in with childien Somcw nat as follows I wrote this mother: I know how you feel about that child when she respond to your fiiends You want them to think you have brought her up well I recall that when our eldest son (now a father of three little girls who are not timid) was about four and he and 1 met at a store or elsewheie some friend of mine who spoke to him this youngster' yvould droop his head and chew hij hand but utter not a word That was a good many years ago when I knew much less about the feelings and development of a child than 1 know now SALLY'S Crime Wave In Texas What was termed by press accounts as one of most intensive manhunts was culminated recently in Dallas With the arrest of a man and his wife who are now charged with murder and a dozen or more hi-jackings in various parts of East Texas including Gregg County It was a well-executed piece of work on the part of law enforcement officers but the story itself is a sordid one After reading how this elusive pair robbed store after store leaving a trail of crime across half of Texas one is startled to read also that both tha man and his wife were only 20 years old We might well ask ourselves What are the circumstances that cause a young couple such as this barely out of their 'teens to take to a life of notoriety before they are old enough to know what life is all about? We might also ask Why is crime on the increase throughout Texas and the nation? We have only to read the statements of law enforcement officers or to glance at the headlines to realize that this is a fiict In Austin recently a minor wave of housebreakings at the University Texas was described as trend of the and typical of the period immediately following the war Although we may be accustomed to crime waves fallowing wars there is no reason to consider such a thing as inevitable and let it go at that Robbery for food or money during the depths of a depression would be more understandable than it would now Obviously many of our present day offenses are not being committed merely for the sake of items which are scarce The answer to the problem lies deeper than law enforcement It begins with the home where responsibility rests upon the shoulders of parents The answer also lies withJ churches civic organizations Boy Scout leaders and all groups whose activities touch the lives of young people Crime is not a pleasant thing under any circumstances It is especially ugly when offenses are committed by those young in years Who knows but what this recently-captured couple might have been leading normal lives instead of fighting running battles at the tender age of 20 if someone had not failed in his duty?
