RISLEY Editors—MYRA ZEISER RISLEY, MRS. T. M. B. HICKS Advertising Manager—ROBERT F. BACHMAN A Photographer—JAMES KOZEMCHAK Associate Editotially Speaking: Molly-Coddling No Answer Ag everyone ‘who reads or listens to news accounts knows, juvenile crime has become a problem of grim dim- ensions in this country. : A leading authority, J. Edgar Hoover, of the FBI, has devoted a signed editorial to it in a recent issue of that organization's law enforcement bulletin. He says, “Recent happenings in juvenile crime shatter the illusion that soft- hearted molly-coddling is: the answer to this problem.” And he asks, “Are we to stand idly by while fierce young _hoodlums—too often and too long harbored under the + glossy misnomer of juvenile delinquents—roam our streets and desecrate our communities? If we do, America might well witness a resurgence of the brutal criminality and mobsterism of a past era.” : i Mr. Hoover also demolishes the idea, held by some people, that there isn’t any more juvenile crime than there ‘used to be—that it’s just better publicized. In the past four years, the population of 10-17 year old has risen 10 per cent. In the same time, arrests of individuals in that age bracket have increased at twice the rate. ! Finally, Mr. Hoover makes a strong case against the common’ custom of not publishing the names of young criminals. As he puts it, “Publicizing the names as well “as crimes for public scrutiny, release of past records to ‘appropriate law enforcement officials and finger-printing for future identifications.are all necessary procedures in the war on the flagrant: violator, regardless of age.” We have tried the soft-hearted approach, and it has failed. In the name’ of self-preservation, it is time to toughen up. Rg Simla 1 From J : Pillar To Post... by Mes. T. M. B. Hicks ; She had never flown before, so boarding the big plane at the National Airport wasn’t the casual matter it might have been to a ' more accustomed traveller. Under that carefully guarded exterior, she was petrified. We watched her march across the intervening strip to the landing stage, head up, shoulders back, spine ramrod-stiff, herding six small children, two of them in arms, up the steps and into the maw of the plane, a steady procession suggestive of the approach to the guillotine. She disappeared, and the plane trundled down the field toward the Potomac to warm up for the flight to Japan. ‘The family, gathered there to see her off, raced back to the observation platform, breathless with haste. Suppose the length of that endless intervening corridor should mean the loss of sight of the plane, among all those others:constantly landing and taking off? But there it was, revving its motors on the other side of the field. It stood there. for eons. Suppose something should be wrong with the plane? Surely it was being delayed for a REASON? Suppose the whole family had to get off and wait for another plane? That would be pretty grim, considering the early morning upheaval, the hurried bowls of oatmeal, and the mad dash for the airport in the teeth of Pentagon traffic. . ; Here 'it comes, moving inexorably forward, gathering speed. Quick, hurry up with that camera. Get a picture as the plane roars down the field, another as its wheels lift in the air, another as it is truly airborne. , And there goes the baby of the family, off for three years in Japan, ready to take up life in a foreign country, competently man- aging a strange household. A letter from San Francisco. 1 The processing at Fort Mason is completed, and the family is ready to take off from the Pacific Coast for Honolulu. With luck, there will be a few days of surf and sunshine on Waikiki. A brief drop out of the sky at Wake Island. And then the long haul to Japan. Persis said she managed the take-off very nicely, just pretended she was in a train, and didn’t look out to see the ground dropping away beneath her. By the time the plane came down for a few hours in Chicago, flying was old stuff, and the take-off for San Francisco sheer routine. 3 ‘ Diapers, she reported, dried very nicely in the California sunshine. Oppressing the family left behind at the airport, there was that familiar sense of flatness, dissipated by a trip to the Hot Shoppe in Falls Church. The holiday feeling of being out of school when other children were coping with long division, reasserted itself. It was a beautiful day, cold but sunny, just exactly the right kind of a day to start on a trip. Three years is a long time. But not too long. ; A And coming back, the trip will be made by transport, a leisurely progress garnished with flying-fish and hammer-headed sharks and huge sea turtles, halcyon days in Honolulu, a trip through the Panama Canal, things that the bigger boys will remember all their lives.

Sev Newberry is the guest writer for this week’s column and gives a good account of the advantages to be had in camping out-of-doors National Parks in the United States. Sev is a well-known traveller and former Dallas councilman. Try camping across country for an inexpensive, but thrilling vacation, by using recreational areas and state and national parks marked on your road maps.” If you have ladder racks (car) or a one wheeled trailer (borrow one), you can pack a suitable tent, tiny propane gas burner and ice refrig- erator. Ice can be bought at most gas. stations, old blankets and clothes are a must. You will use the stove only when an outdoor fireplace is not available. Wood is provided in parks. Pots and pans, basin, dishpan, soap and clothes— pins, rope, aluminum wrep, etc. For minimum ~ pack plans, call Sev Newberry. Your kids will vie for the job of tent raising, building good camp fires for roasting wrapped potatoes, hamburgs, corn ete. Don’t deny them the thrill of learning to be a non-delinquent. They will take na- ture hikes (Pop and Mom will love | it) and. thrill in the knowledge of | God’s great outdoors. Teach them the careful rules of the National | Parks System. A booklet is provided and between 50 cents and one dollar per night for all is charged at the better parks. Many are free. Show- ers, lavatories, laundries, tenting, swimming, etc. are also provided. As for clothes, all you need are ‘old jeans, shirts, T-shirts, nylon skirts, ‘blouses, slacks and sneakers or rubber soled shoes. For more details, send 35 cents to Department of Documents, Wash- ington, D.C. and you will receive a complete detailed map of National Parks and Recreation Areas of the United States. Also details on what each park provides. For the more determined camper send $1.00 to Campgrounds Unltd., Blue Rapids, Kansas, and you will receive a book of information on all state-run parks and their facilities. This book has been a must for us to really round out the huge United States map. We have camped across country— Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, South: Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, and. stayed in the Black Hills, Bad Lands, Glacier, Indian Reservations, Yellowstone, Rockies, Big Horn (Crazy Horse and Custer romped here). A complete tour of the above can be done in seventeen days. For weekly vacationers Penn- sylvania and New York State have many good camp parks. Western ‘Maryland has wonderful state and national parks close to the Penn- sylvania border. ; If you want a wonderful vacation, get out under the moon and stars. (Signed) Mr. and Mrs. Sev Newberry and son Sev, Jr. Fewer, But Slightly Larger Trout To Be Stocked This Year . . . Fewer but slightly larger trout, a later than usual start of planting, and an increase in the waters ap- proved to receive trout were the highlights of a statement today by Dewey Sorenson, Superintendent of Hatcheries, concerning the 1957 trout stocking program of the Penn- sylvania Fish Commission. Sorenson placed the estimate of trout available for distribution for the coming season at 2,407,410, the total weight of which will be at least -equal to the 2,821,702 placed in the waters of the Commonwealth in 1956. Another 93,000 will be dis- tributed from the West Virginia and States Fish and Wildlife Service. * The distribution of the Federal fish will take place prior to the transfer of Commission reared trout. They will replace, in part, the kill in the Commission’s Bellefonte area hatcheries as the result of the pollu- tion of their . Spring Creek water supply by a cyanide spill out of the U. S.. Naval Ordinance Research Laboratory at Penn State University late last year. Sorenson was advised that the federal fish will average eight inches in length. Meanwhile, the number of miles of approved trout streams was edg- ed “up to 4,107 from last year’s 4,058, on recommendations by the Commission’s fishery managers. Also included for trout stocking this year will be 52 lakes, the same as 1956. Of the three procedure changes, it is the opinion of the hatcheries’ chief that the later start of the stocking program holds the best promise for better trout fishing this year. “The closer to the creel these trout are stocked, the less the risk of loss due to ice, flood, low water temperatures and the low supply of food present in the streams at this time of the year,” Sorenson said. According to the present schedule the major portion of the 1957 trout stocking program will be completed by June 80, instead of mid-June, as heretofore. Whatever stocking is done after that time will be of an! experimental nature. os q Xo ik { v New York hatcheries of the United Looking at | T-V With GEORGE A. and EDITH ANN BURKE i ARLENE FRANCIS has been ed- itor-in-chief of the ‘Home’ show since its debut on March 1, 1954. From Seattle to Cape Cod, she has traveled with “Home” and from Miami to Japan, her roving eye has found colorful subject matter of in- terest to women. During that same three years, she has also found time to serve as a regular panelist on the “What's My Line?” quiz show, to film commercials, to head numer- our charitable drives, to be full- time and PTA-attending mother to her nine-year-old son, Peter Gabel, to furnish a 12-room apartment in Manhattan and to build and furnich a country home in Mount Kisco, N Y. The latter is: one of the 1956 “House that Home Built” models. How does she do 'it all? “The Lord blessed me with abundantly good health,” she says gratefully— and she might well add stamina, | brains, looks, personality, and en- thusiasm. Her second secret? She sets aside daily time for solitude in which she is able to replenish mental, physical and spiritual en- ergy. The saga of Arlene Frances Kajan- jian began in Boston, Mass., where her father, distinguished vortrait photographer, and his wife, Lea, were living at the time of Arlene's birth. She was educated at the Convent of Mount St. Vincent in Riverdale, N. Y. although not a Catholic, and found ‘the nuns her greatest champions when it came to her stage ambitions. Arlene's father, however, was adament about a woman's place being in the home. After sending his only daughter to finishing school, he gave her a trip to Europe. Upon her return, he set her up in a gift shop on Madison Avenue, which failed with remarkable rapidity. Mr. Kazan- jian finally resigned himself to the fact that Arlene was incurably stage-struck and quite serious about becoming an actress. Daytime radio’ dramas by the dozen boasted Arlene Francis’ name in their casts. It was one of theen shows that she met her husband, Martin Gabel, who played the lead- ing role. Eventually, she made her Broadway debut and has since heen seen in more than 20 productions Her movie experience was somewh=t limited. She ‘anpeared briefly in the award-winning film “All My Sons.” ICO - SPONSORS — Rising costs, poor ratings are forcing many tele- vision advertisers to ask the net- works for relief. This is the rea’ reason for so many big name shows being dropped this season. One company tried in vain to get out of a series of smectaculars. The network refused. There is no loneer a waiting list for such shows. For one thing they are very expensive. | That is the main reason you see three and sometimes more products advertised on the 90-minute pro- grams. pig ’ Ona commany that sponsore Roy Rogers, the 77th Bengal Lancer and Hiram Holliday wanted to. drom all three. The network finally agreed to dropping the Hiram show but made them become a co-spon- sor on another program. .

After exposure to all the emphasis on youth and sex in eurrent magazines and books, it has been refreshing this week to read a beck that should be read by every man and woman who has passed forty— not for its literary merit, but for its sound common sense. = I refer to “Live To Enjoy the Money You Make” written by LeLord Kordel, a bio-chemist, and published by World Publishing Company. Contrary to the title, it has little to do with money and nothing at all to do with the stock market. Many women don’t like it, but they will have to admit that there is a world of truth in i, for the author puts the modern wife on the spot when it comes to safe- guarding her husband’s health. Let me quote from the chapter “Lucrezia Borgias of the Skillet.” “What excuse can be given by the woman who kills off her hus- band by overstuffing him with “good cooking’—spiced by the poison of hydrogenated fats, white sugar, and white flour? Or by causing ' him to overwork his heart to satisfy her demands? “Is she ignorant of the laws of nutrition? If she values het husband, she must learn how to feed him—or she probably won't have him for long. : Today there are ten million widows in the United States, and by 1960 the excess of women over. men in the nation will grow from 1,500,000 to 2,500,000. America has almost twice the number of widows that it should have. “Fifty-one is the average age at which women begin their years of widowhood. That means about twenty-five years of living alone— and seldom liking it. Lives there a woman with soul so dead that she _ doesn’t harbor the notion of finding a second husband? There’s no harm in doing a little wishful thinking. But after these women reach the age of forty-five just two out of ten find another husband. This slim chance lessens with each passing year. ria “In 1920 the mortality rate for men between forty-five and fifty-four years of age was only ten percent higher than that of a woman. Since then, the mortality for husbands has increased 78 percent. : ; “Many a woman has sent her husband to an early grave because, among other things she tried to get him to keep up with her spend- ing. Often as he became more successful she turned into a money spending machine and thought of her husband only as a money- making machine. Sa “It is a mechanical age, but that is going a little bit too far. “The man who used to be the head of the house has become the cook, the bottle washer, chauffeur, gardener, delivery boy, and laun- dress. He still brings home the bacon. But now he has to cook it and wash the dishes. “Kenneth Fink, director of the Princeton Research Service, discovered that in New York 87 percent of the young husbands help with the housework. The Gallup Poll tells us that sixty-two percent of Ameri- can men wash the dishes and forty percent help with the housework— and cooking. ; “Sure men have longer weekends—to screens, paint the shutters or perform some do-it-yourself miracle that the husband next door has already done for his wife — “Why can't you do the same thing for me?” * * * * * “Wives have increased their own widowhood expectancy. By 1975, women sixty-five and over will outnumber men three to two. The gap between the life expectancy of a man and that of a woman has doubled in the last twenty-five years. Practically everything today kills more men than it does women, except diabetes. And, of course, childbirth! : : : A “Many male deaths result from overstrain man is particularly sensitive regarding his ability to “take it. Achilles’ heel is his reputation for masculinity. . 4 “He will hide his illness behind popular pain killers: aspirin, cold pills, pocket inhalants. He'll keep on working, with the props of coffee and alcohol, when he has a cold or indigkstion. He hates’ to admit fatigue. When his wife keeps him up late at night and he has to get up early the next morning, he will deny that he is tired. “Which is the stronger sex? Decidedly not men! The American Medical Association reports: ‘Daily counts show that more men than women are hospitalized. The number of men in hospitals exceed women by 13,000 daily even during the women’s child bearing years. In the years between 45 and 65 the excess of men rises to over 51,000 daily.’ : “Men set up false tests of vitality for themselves. They conceal their emotions, hide their tensions, and ignore their injuries” They also overeat. 7 : ; His We wl he ; “Women have learned to take better care of themselves, than formerly, but they haven't yet learned to take better care of their men. The death rate for men from cardiovascular and renal diseases ° between forty-five and fifty-four has increased more than thirty per- cent in the past thirty years. During the same period it has decreased among women. d ; Sle “Dr. Benjamin D. Paul of Harvard University describes graph- ically how American women are incubating ulcers among men. He blames social climbing—keeping up with the Joneses—for the ulcer- breeding male anxiety. Women drive their husbands into nervous disorders and chronic disease by their female lust for luxuries. * * * * * . A daft “Man struts across the stage of life with flexed muscles, proud talk and a sense of sex superiority. Nature knows better; she produces more male babies than female . . . Mortality statistics prove that the human male, compared to the female, is a fragile creature... Men succumb twice as frequently to infectious and parasitic diseases. Thirty percent more men die from disease of the heart and of the circulatory and respiratory systems. Sixty percent more suffer vio- lent accidental death. . SE “Tt is the wife who sends her husband away from home in the morning unhappy, tense, and accident prone, to function so badly that he may be killed or injured in an accident. 3 “The nagging wife, the demanding wife kills her husband just e little bit every day. The clinging-vine wife burdens her husband with responsibilities and restrains him from ever risking achievement. “At a time when a man needs his wife the most she is often so busy that she has forgotten how to be a wife. She even causes the husband to lose respect in the eyes of the children. “There’s the story of the little boy who asked: ‘The Lord gives us our daily bread, doesn’t He, Mama?’ ‘Yes, of course He does’ answered the mother. The child continued: ‘And Santa Claus brings the doesn’t he?’ ‘Yes, dear.’ ‘And the stork brings the babies?’ ‘Why—yes, dear.’ ‘Well, what's papa hanging around here for?’ “A wife who really loves her husband will wage an all-out war on tension. If she’s tempted to complain about money, let her stop it and ask herself: ‘Do I really love my husband—or just what he can do for me? Did I truly take him for better or worse—or only better 2’. All women should learn money management since they are the ones who spend 80 percent of the family budget. i “The home should be a center of affection, a refuge from the troubles that surround the husband, offering a daily escape into tranquility and serenity. The kind of heme that will allow a husband to achieve a happy old age with a tranquil heart, a calm outlook, a serene disposition and a loving wife. i “Too many marriages are like the one in which the husban: sneaked home at 3 A.M. and found an irate wife waiting for him at the door. ‘So home is the best place after all,’ she said. 1 don’t know about that, he replied, ‘but it’s the only place open.’ ; : A man should be allowed to relax at home, to spend time in recreation, and to cultivate a hobby for his fulfillment in later years. Couples should develop new mutual interests. A wife should encour- age a husband to get his troubles off his chest. She should be an understanding, sympathetic listener—and admirer. Any husband who presents, comes home to such a wife is bound to feel that she’s the best thing that ever happened to him. : A's vite a . “What's more, he will come home — every night.” clean the cellar ar, fix the hi i i ; IRR 5 A EA So SH HR SSIES A A TNS 5 Ei
