THE BULLETIN, July 23, 1960—PAGE 5 DORIS REVERE PETERS -^In&werA YOUTH DATES FORBIDDEN BY 'OLD-FASHIONED FATHER Defense (Continued from Page 4) “One must not forget how suddenly war came upon us in 1941,” the Bishop stated in his letter. “War may never come again, yet it is wisp men who stand ready for it, should it come. “It should not he necessary to recount the history of commu nism over the past several decades,” he continued. “It is a fact that this ideology dedicated to world conquest and openly opposed to the principles and ethics of freedom holds a grip on a major portion of the world. Through oppression and deceit many free people have thus succumbed. “If we are to endure as a na tion of free men then we must readily accept the responsibili ties and the realities of the nu clear age. One of these is total defense. Although we can pray and hope for the best, we must be ready for the worst. “The only way to assure our selves of survival is to have the ‘ability’ to recover from what ever disaster may befall us, and it is my firm belief that only an organized civil defense effort can provide the ‘ability’,” Bish op Ackerman stated. Mr. Root said that in its mod ern concept the civil defense program prepares the commun ity for any disaster that may befall it. “Each of us should regard the basic principles of self-prepara tion the same as we regard and practice the basic rules of health, morality and welfare,” Mr. Root said. “In short, civil defense is common sense.” Besides designating Civil De fense Sunday, Bishop Acker man said he will encourage Catholic organizations to spon sor home preparedness courses in basic civil defense principles. The Covington Diocesan Council of Catholic Women, through its civil defense com mittees, has sponsored classes in home preparedness, first aid, home nursing and other courses. Teachers from schools in the diocese have taken part in a ci vil defense adult education program. One sure place to find a help ing hand is at the end of your arm, '* Dear Doris: I’m 17 and will begin my senior year in high school in September. All my friends are allowed to date: My father says I can’t go out on dates until I’ve graduated from high school. Don’t you think my father is old-fashioned? Betty Dear Betty: Every girl should have a man in her life—providing, of course, it’s her “old-fashioned father”! Reverse the situation, Betty. What would you do if he gave you free rein? Most parents are pretty reasonable. Perhaps some are a trifle over-cautious. Bui that is understandable. Your dad has only one Betty. He loves you with a love you will never understand until you are a parent. When that day comes you may be a little over-protec tive, too. The habit of taking care of you is one your father has prac ticed for 17 years. He is slow to realize you are grown up. So prove it to him. Try to be an obedient and understanding daughter. At the same time use all your other activities to show your dad that you really are a young lady. Do a good job in school. With mod esty seek a leading rol^ in school and church activities. In this way your teachers or pas tor will speak for you. Perhaps your father has been trained in ‘old country’ customs. If so, you might explain group dating and American social cus toms to him. Invite your friends home. And if possible have your father meet your friends’ par ents. But don’t forget, Betty, old- fashioned parents have great wisdom. I’m sure if you are tactful and show him you are mature your father will react favorably. * » * AGE DIFFERENCE Dear Doris: Do you think it is OK for a college fellow to date a girl in high school who is a year or two younger? Jerry F. Dear Jerry: younger’ seems to be a good age difference between boys and girls who are dating. I think it really depends on the individu als and their interests. To the chagrin of the college belle, many of the fellows con tinue to date the girls back home. Since you are home only on holidays and occasional week ends this is good insur ance against going out too often. What interests do you and your ’Mary Jane’ have in com mon? Is she fun to be with? And does she feel at home with your college crowd? Remember Jerry, it’s the girl, not her age, that counts. * * * MOTHER BITTER Dear Doris: I’m 17 years old. My father deserted my mother when I was very young and when anything happens to disturb her she talks about what a horrible man he was. I feel that a child who never knew her father should be allowed to believe he was a good man. She constant ly reminds us (my sister 13 and my older sister, 22) that she could have placed us in an or phanage but sacrificed herself more than necessary for us. I realize mother worked hard for us but I think her attitude is causing my younger sister to rebel. She never listens to my mother and constantly stays out late. I’m moody and I feel I’ll never enjoy the company of. a boy. I freeze up when I’m with boys. . Mary Beth Dear Mary Beth: Your mother has been hurt severely. But she has kept her family together. For this she de serves much credit and help from you. Three affectionate and grateful daughters can do much to ease the pain of her bitterness. Try with all your heart and mind to outwardly show her your love. Be a greater help around the house; discuss school affairs with her; take her to the movies and concerts; include her in as many of your activi ties as possible. Most of all try to understand her problem.

Blessing On Death Of Child Who Visited Pope VATICAN CITY (Radio, NC) — His Holiness Pope John XXIII, who waived aside pro tocol and interrupted his heavy schedule to spend 40 minutes with Catherine Hudson of Okla homa City last Holy Week, sent his blessing and his condolenc es to the seven-year-old girl’s family on her death. The child died of lukemia (July 6) in the hospital of the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation in Oklahoma City. She had received the last rites several times, and was given the sacrament of Confirmation the day she died. Cathy Hudson knew about her “bad blood” and begged her widowed mother to take her to see the Pope last spring. Mrs. Marlene Hudson, a convert, sold her automobile and furniture to do so.

We never know what causes others to act the way they do. No matter what is said, you can think well of him. Above all pray for him. There’s no reason to let your mother’s attitude influence your attitude towards boys. Make an extra effort to talk and be friendly with the boys you meet at church and school. Your older sister should be able to help your younger sis ter. If not, both of you could talk to your parish priest. He will have wise and kind advice for all of you. * * * Doris Revere Peters answers letters through her column, not by mail. Young readers are in vited to write to her in care of THE BULLETIN. Brunswick, Ga. Lester's Auto Supplies 2707 Norwich Street Brunswick, Georgia Condition Of U. S. Migrants Great Concern (N.C.W.C. News Service) WASHINGTON — A Senate document calls the plight of the U. S. migrant farm worker and his family a charge to the con science of all Americans. “They are living testimonials to the poverty and neglect that is possible even in our wealthy and dynamic democracy that prides itself on protection and concern for the individual,” the document said. Prepared for the migratory labor subcommittee of the Com mittee on Labor and Public Welfare, the report was author ed by Daniel H. Politt, associate professor of law, University of North Carolina, and Miss Selma M. Levine, a Washington law yer. The report is a collection of statistics and quotations from groups working to better the standing of migrant workers. It is critical of working, housing, wage and recruitment condi tions. There are nearly 1,000,000 traveling farm workers, half of whom are Americans and the other half foreigners, chiefly from Mexico. The Americans are largely Texas-Mexicans, southern Negroes, Puerto Ric ans and Indians, it says. “The migrant and his family are lonely wanderers on the face of our land,” the docu ment says. “Behind the screen of statis tics showing migrant labor toil ing often for as little as 50 cents an hour and working only 131 days a year, we see families crowded into shelters that are more like coops, for animals, with children undernourished and in poor health, two or three years behind in school, with lit tle chance to develop their tal ents and become fully useful to themselves or their country. “This is the ugliest kind of human waste,” the study claims. Sen. Harrison A. Williams of New Jersey, subcommittee chairman, notes in a forward that the document is not the final subcommittee report, but the first of a series that will re flect all points of view. However, he adds that the document “is offered as a work ing tool to all citizens who feel they have a stake in ending in justice wherever it may be found.” The National Council of Cath olic Women, the National Cath olic Rural Life Conference and the Social Action Department of the National Catholic Welfare Conference are among the groups which have protested the alleged poor treatment of migrants, and urged corrective Federal legislation. * * • CENTRAL HARDWARE #/ THE STORE OF 10,000 ITEMS' 1 Norwich & H.
