Bewildered Parents' Delinquent
Children Discussed By Dr. Mace
By NANCY ALEXANDER
"Never before in human history
have there been more bewildered
parents than today," explained
Dr. David R. Mace, executive
director o f American Association
of Marriage Counselors, to a bast
of parents, who gathered to listen
to him at Boone Elementary
School last week.
"Never before have there
been as many young people de
linquent and having difficulty ad
justing as today," he added.
"All studies of delinquency
make it clear that troubled, dis
turbed children are caused by
poor family relationships.
"We are now producing more
psychiatric problems in children
today than we oan hope to rem
edy, let alone prevent
"Parents are so belabored with
inadequacies that their confidence
has been undermined.
"The closeness of the Ameri
can family &xxq> may not be as
healthy as we have thought. I
became aware of this in the So
viet 'Union. My wife and 1 have
recently published the first study
in the West on Soviet tamly life.
There children are placed in day
nurseries where they are cared
for by other women while the
parents work. These children are
proving to be extremely well
adjusted and stable.
"We, in this country, have dis
carded a lot of our old-fashioned
ideas of the autoritative type of
family living end we haven't
found anything else to take its
place. Parents have become con
fused iand so have the children.
"Many parents fear to disctp
line children for {ear the children
won't like them. It's also often
easier to let them do a* they
please.
"By letting children do what
they like we're being cruel to
them. Parents need to assert
themselves and place limits on
children. They may not always
be right in their decisions, but
they should take a stand on what
they believe is right. They should
not let children play ooe parent
against another.
"To develop into outgoing and
scM-assured adults children need
to be brought up in a framework
of discipline.
"They n&d to know they live
in a world of law and order.
Parents need to establish firm
rules. Unless they do they can
not rear young people who will
become -well-equipped adults.
"Parents and teen-agers are
more tragically estranged today
than ever before. They cant
communicate.
"I think the real problems
with teen-agers aU come down
to sex? not money, not cars, not
drinlk, not many other things
parents think; therefore, it is
highly necessary that adults give
them a aet o( standards to live
by and teach them self-discipline.
"We've probably learned more
about marriage and parenthood
in the laat 30 years than in the
previous 3,000 years.
"Too many people just don't
know the things that make the
difference in happiness and fail
ure.
"Young people should be taught
what good family relationships
mean and how to handle them.
"We need both parent and
youth education in family living.
We need to have education for
marriage and good creative fam
ily living taught in the school*.
During our recent scare when We
learned our nation's education
was lagging behind Russia1*
scientifically, we made the mis
take of discarding some courses
like those on marriage. They an
very important for young people
"Marriage counseling is really
effective in helping families ad
just, if the counselors are com
petent," he concluded.
Dr. Al ace, whose residence is
now in New Jersey was formerly
a Methodist minister. Realizing
the great need for helping fami
lies, he deckled to devpte Ms
life's work to it. He is one of the
founders of the National Mam
ad Guidance Council of Great
Britain and was its e*e?iitive di
rector for seven years. He is
also a former presiciaat of Hie
National Council in the U. S. A.
on family relations.

Letter To Editor
Bob Allen Appreciate*
Newspaper Coverage
Of Homecoming
Mr. Editor: ,
Please allow me this space
to express our appreciation for
the fine coverage you have
given our Homecoming activi
ties. It could not have been
more effective.
Also, I take this opportunity
to thank our other alumni and
friends for their wonderful co
operation, without which Our
Sixtieth Anniversary H o m e
eoming would have been far Ms
successful.
Especially, I am grateful for
the fine spirit shown by those
who had purchased luncheon
tickets but who could not be
served. Anyone who has an un
used ticket la urged to send It
to me with his or her name
and address written on the re
verse side. Refunds will be glad
ly and promptly sent by mail.
Sincerely,

Weather
& E. H. SIMS
Many people pile earth and
leaves on the porth side of their
homes and use a slanting tool
on the northern side of the
home. Do these practices actu
ally reduce heating bills?
Yes, these praticea do save
money spent for heating. The
slant of the roof deflects harsh,
cold northern winds, which pass
on over the house. If dirt and
leaves are piled up to the over
handing roof, on the north side
of the house, snd the top of
the earth pile is slanted, this
provides a beginning to the de
fleeting o I the northern winds.
- A vertical' wall on (he south

the heat from the sun. so that

enjoyed. ?

New Retail Store To Open Next Friday
Boone's newest ratail business
will commence operations Fri
day, Nov. 1, when the new
Boone Variety Store will hold its
official opening.
The Boone Variety Store is
located in (he building formerly
occupied by the Boone Tire and
Bargain Store, on West King
Street, and owned by Dempsey
Wilcox, Sr. Two floors of mer
chandise will goon sale Friday,
many articles of which will be
offered at special reduced open
ing-day prices for Friday and
Saturday only.
Dempsey Wilcox, Jr., owner
and opeartor of the business, is
a member of United Variety Re
tailers, a national organization
which operates thousands of
stores all across the U. S. Over
97 per cent of these stores are
owned entirely by local people,
as is this one.
"By opearting independently,"
Wilcox *?id, "these merchants
are flexible enough to serve the
town they are located in to the
best of their ability." The big
gest advantage of tsuch a setup,
according to Wilcox, is that the
Boone Variety Store can secure
the right "Chain Store" merch
andise at the right price, from
the United Variety Retaileri'
warehouses, and can at the same
time offer customers personal
service that sometimes the big
* ' r
Painters Ralph Wilson (left) and Roy Rufty
are shown as, several weeks ago, they be
gan their part in transforming the Boom
Tire and Bargain Store building into the
new Boone Variety Store. > ?
national chain* cannot do.
Wilcox pointed out that the
types of merchandise on the
main floor of his store corres
ponded roughly to those which
might be found in any five-and
ten cent store. But in the base
ment, heavier merchandise ? in
cluding houseware, luggage,
glassware, baby furniture, and
lanlps ? is available to the cus
tonttr.
