"Solly has m ire hern reported to me by school authorities as frequenting
roadhouses, smoking, drinking.''
By KATHLEEN NORRIS
“T T rE HEAR n great deal

V V sponsibility for juve-
nile delinquency,” writes
Marna St. John from Seattle,
“but not much about what
and how and why and when
parents can do anything about
ENTERTAINING
AT HOME
.4 mother admits that she
has failed. Her two daughters
and her son have been seeking
their pleasures away front
home since their early teens.
One daughter has gotten into
serious trouble; the Jf/irr, on-
ly 17. has been frequenting
roadhouses and other danger-
ous place i. The hoy, in second
year high school, brings his
friends to the house, but he
seems to “live a life of his
own.” There is little, family
unity or real affection. They
have only a small house, and
the girls feel unable to enter-
tain at home.
Miss Norris, in reply, tells
of a family she knows who
lived contentedly in a small
and humble du elling, yet u ho
knew all the “best people."
The young folks were quite
popular, and had company at
home most of the time.

"Ours is a normal household of
father mother, two girls, one boy,
small income, no servant, one car.
My girls. 19 and 17. have jobs. Mar-
garet makes good money in a local
defense plant, Sally has a part-time
Job and keeps up with her college
Studies. Mart is in second year high
' Margaret is a good, quiet, pret-
ty girl, but she has always been
discontented, feeling herself socially
handicapped. Sally is independent,
pleasure-lov ing, not affectionate or
domestic. Mart seems to live a life
of his own; his boy friends are al-
ways here, in the basement, or he
is off with them in their basements.
Incidentally we have a spacious,
warm, well-lighted basement.
Go to Roadhouses.
"Never having had money enough
to enable my girls to entertain, or
take their place in society, I can’t
blame them for finding their pleas-
ures away from home," the letter
goes on. ‘‘But 1 feel deeply the dis-
advantages unde: which they have
had to Suffer. 1 am as distressed
over Margaret's periods of depres-
sion os over Sally’s irresponsibility
and independence. Margaret’s case
is serious enough to have needed

been reported to me by school

Navy Plane Rips Off Roof;
Snatches Baby’s Blanket
GROTON. CONN.......A navy fighter
plane tore off a house rooftop here
in a crash landing, tearing the blan-
ket from the bed of a sleeping two-
year-old child who escaped with
only minor scratches.
The navy public relations office
reported that police found the miss-
ing blanket in the wreckage of the
plane in a near-by school yard
where the craft came to rest after
colliding with the side of the school.
The child. Margaret Morton, was
buried In plaster and debris until
her father, Thomas, dug her out.
She was frightened but unhurt.
The pilot of the single scater plane
was Lieut. W. J. McCartney of To-
ledo, Ohio, who was slightly injured.

QUARTERS. — A flak, burst caught
Mustang Pilot. Lieut. Lyle M Wright
of Buffalo, N. Y., over Germany,
wounded him In the shoulder and
sprayed glass fragments In Ms eyes.
He could see dimly above him
but was unable to turn his eyes in
any other direction.
Ho radioed his companions on tire
mission:
"I’ve been hit In the eyes and can
see or.ly upwards I’m going to hit
the silk."
Lieut. Bill SUcktgl, 24. of Orion.
Ill,, pilot of another Mustang, went
to his rescue.
"Don’t jump,” Stockton radioed
bock. "Wait until I get in position
above you. You can fly back on me."
With eyes on the sky, Wright fol-
lowed Stockton’s overhead plane
back across the channel to an Eng-
lish base Stockton coached him
on the landing.
Wright's plane came In fast on
the narrow strip of the runway,
touched the surface and bounced
and then settled as his sensitive fin-
gers brought it to a safe stop.
It was found that Wright’s can-
opy was jammed so tightly by the
flak that he would have been un
able to bail out anyway.
Wright’s wife, Mrs. Edna Wright,
was notified by the war department
September 21 that he had been In-
jured seriously September 9.
The sight of one of Wright’s eyes
was jeopardized fur a while, but his
other injuries were slight.

as eagerly and as skilfully helping
to pack a picnic lunch as any two
women could. It might be only
apples, buns, frankfurters, but by
the time the Martins and their
friends had dragged themselves to
the top of some hill, or gone off in
the jsickety car to some beach, it
tasted like nectar to them.
Games at Home.
Father and mother instituted and
led the games, in this house There
were guessing games at the table,
and nobody minded the fact that
the entire meal consisted of one gen-
erous stew filled with garden vege-
tables and built around two pounds
of shank beef. Phyllis, the younger
girl, was as expert a cook at 14 as
tier mother was; everybody in the
Martin house was busy, and they
always Impressed callers into help-
ing, They never interrupted any-
thing that was going on just be-
cause company came, and the
young people of my household used
to come home to relate that they
had assisted at putting the Martin
attic in order, raking the Martin's
paths, or pasting photographs in the
Martin scrapbooks
Three of the Martini married
most happily; in each Case the
sweetheart was one of the familiar
guests of the household. Phyllis, the
youngest, is now a WAVE, and re-
ports enthusiastically that “all the
girts love pencil games."

Well Marna, I think perhaps you

realizing that good food, education,

not enough. We can’t be merely
negative in solving this problem of
safety—moral safety for our chil-

and plan to achieve it.
