Parents’
Problems
By DONALD M. MAYNARD
When friends and neighbors are
-with our three-year-old daughter
they “make over her” and spoil her
in spite of what I may object to.
Vnhen she is at home now she ex-
pects us to give in to her every wish
or desire which, of course, we can-
not do. I ask the neighbor not to
feed her, which she does anyway.
And this has led her to telling me
untruths about what she has been
doing. What should we do?
I realize how indignant you must
become at friends, neighbors, and rela-
tives who persist in spoiling your child.
You must be tempted really to “bless
them out” for not paying any heed to
your requests. And, indeed, in a few
oases this may be desirable. By and
large, however, there is no particular
value in antagonizing your thoughtless
friends and relatives.
Take time to have a good, heart-to-
heart talk with them, in which you help
litem to see that your daughter rapidly
l£ becoming spoiled because of the at-
tention she is getting from outsiders.
I have no doubt that many of your
friends, when they see how earnest and
sincere you are, will make a definite
effort to cooperate with you.
In spite of everything you can do,
however, there probably will be those
-who continue to spoil your daughter.
"Your clue, then, is to follow the pro-
cedure you evidently are following now;
that is, you will refuse to spoil her at
home. Remember that it is possible to
he firm with her and at the same time
to give her plenty of affection and
understanding. The latter are tremen-
dously important for your child’s sense
of security, as you realize, but it should
be remembered that the feeling of in-
security dees not arise out of firmness
by parents so much as it does out of
their lack of consistency.
Let me suggest, too, that you avoid
putting your daughter in situations in
which she is tempted to tell a lie. You
must realize that an untruth does not
have the moral significance for her
that it has for you.
My oldest son is 2l/z years. He
has been separated from his father
most of his life as my husband is
a Regular Army Officer. Each time
we are together, the question of dis-
cipline and authority arises, and fre-
quently leads to discussions as to
just what can be done.
The child does not accept his
father as his authority, and comes
to me for all of^ his needs and
wants. We do not like this situa-
tion, yet at the same time the boy
is not to blame as he met his father
for the first time when he was 13
months old, and had become en-
tirely dependent on me. This re-
jection hurts my husband. Yet
forcing himself as the parent upon
the child is not the answer, we knotft
It all comes to one point—the child
is too dependent on me, and how
can 1 transfer some of that de-
pendence npon his father?
Let me congratulate you ftB& yeas
husband on the fine, sensible approach
you are taking toward this problem,
incidentally, that many returning waw
icemen are facing. Perhaps the follow-
ing suggestions may be helpful:
1. Continue to remember that your
son’s dependence upon you will not
be overcome immediately. It will take
time for the change to occur and you
and your husband will need to be pa-
tient and understanding.
2. Let your husband not only play
with your son, but also have some defi-

nite responsibilities in connection with
his care, if this is possible. Perhaps he
can be responsible for dressing him or
for putting him to bed.
3. It may be well for you to take a
short trip and leave your son in his
father’s care during your absence. What
I am trying to say is that every oppor-
tunity your husband has to be alone
with his son and to be responsible for
his care, hastens the day when the boy
will accept him not only as a good play-
mate but as a parent.
4. If on occasions you defer to your
husband’s judgment (which incidentally
is not a bad thing for wives to do!),
your son will gradually realize that the
father, too, has authority. It will help,
too, if when talking to him you fre-
quently say, “Let’s ask Daddy what
he thinks or would do.” y

Fort Worth.—Supplies of
all kinds of livestock tapered
off in the opening session of
the week here and all around
the major livestock market
circle. Fed steers, yearlings
and calves continued to
make up the major portion
of the supply.
Heavy pressure was report-
ed on most of the fed cattle
and fed calves with trading
a hit or miss affair that re-
sulted in either weak or un-
evenly lower prices on those
classes. Cows were again in
small supply and ruled stead-
y. Bull prices were scaled
downward.
Stocker cattle and calves
were generally steady when
quality and condition were
desirable, but the less desir-
able kinds were unevenly
lower in line with killers.
Hog prices edged higher.
Top hogs moved to a $20 top.
Sows drew $16 to $17.50i.
Garbage feds usually sell at
25 to 50 cents or more dis-
counts compared to grain
finished hogs.
Fat lambs were stronger,
some wooled lambs 50 cents
up and some clipped fat
lambs 50 cents to $1 higher.
Shorn lambs, No. 1 pelts,
drew $20.50 and some wool-
skins drew $21.50 Monday.
Feeders drew $19.25 down-
ward, after a slow opening.
Old sheep were steady,
slaughter ewes from $7 to
$8.5€L Yearlings sold from
$18 down.
Good and choice fed steers
and yearlings cashed at $18
to $25.50, the $25.50 on some
experimental steers from
Beeville in South Texas. C.
F .Brown, Rosebud, had a
load of 84'8-lb. steers at $19-
50 and J. R. Repeu, Rosebud,
had some weighing 804 lbs.
at $20. Gordon & Alton Bell,
Foard County, had a load of
793-lb. steers at $18.50. Vol-
ney O. Hildreth, Aledo, had
60 heifers at 848 lbs., at
$22.50. A load of Hamilton
County steers averaged 839
lbs at $23. Common, plain
and medium butcher stuff
sold from $12 to $18. Fat
cows sold for $13 to $15.50,
and canners and cutters
drew $9 to $13. Bulls cashed
at $10 to $18.50.
Good and choice fat calves
sold from $18 to $23, mostly
$22 down and cull, common
and medium kinds ranged
from $10 to $18. Stocker
steer calves drew $15 to $24
and steer yearlings sold from
$22.50 down. Heifers and
heifer calves sold mostly $1
to $2 under comparable
steers, stocker cows drew
$12 to $20.
The Jonesboro, Texas, FFA
topped the lamb trade with
some $21,501 lambs and had
some $23 fed steers. Earl
Sargent is instructor.
World Wide Mission
Of Evangelism
The Committee of Fifty
for the World Mission of
Evangelism composed of rep-
resentatives of nearly every
branch and agency of the
Methodist Church, in its
first meeting on August 28,
1952, in Washington, D. C.,
designated the year of 1953
as the time in which the
Kingdom of God shall be
taken to the people around
the world. Every Methodist
church and every member is
summoned to give Christian
testimony to their historic
faith in Christ in their daily
occupation, civic and social
interests and by their forth-
right, positive effort to win
lost men to a redeeming
faith in God. In conjunction
with this- great world-wide
emphasis of evangelism, the
churches of Texas are united
in a four year emphasis of
Christian Stewardship.
