I have been invited to the shore home of a boyfriend of mine. My mother will not let me go. Since I will have no other vacation away from home except the phonetic method.

In 1956, Pontiac offers the popular four-door hardtop sedan in all series. , that week, do you think that is fair? A. Your mother needs reinsur ance that you will be well cared for no doubt. Why not have the boy's mother write her a note In viting you (which she should have done in the first place.) Many mothers are not in favor of this casual type of Invitation and who can blame them? Q. I am 16 and am working at a summer job which will be over two weeks before I go back to ; school. I have asked my mother to return part of my paycheck each wetk so that I can have some fun on beach outings weekends and before I go back to school, but she will not. Do you think that Is right? A. It seems only fair that your mother give you some of your earned money so that you can have some receration before you go back to school. On the other hand per haps the family financial circum stances are such that your mother is making a sacrifice to keep you in school as it is. Maybe your vaca tion money goes a long way to help ing the family budget. In that case perhaps you should be happy that you can do your part?sad but true in your case. Q. I have just met a very nice boy at the summer camp where I am working. My mother has for bidden me to have dates alone before I am 17, and so far I have only been permitted to go to dances, house parties and on double dates to local movies. The boy has asked me out to a square dance 15 miles from where we work. I want to go but do not know what to do. A. You should write or tele phone your mother asking her for permission or arrange to have an older couple accompany you to the dance and write your mother that you are doing that. You would take quite a risk riding 15 miles away in the country with a strange boy. It is only wise to follow your mother's advice in this case partic ularly. Q. My boyfriend is away for the summer with his parents. I have heard through friends that he has met a girl and is dating her. Should I write him a letter break ing off our steady dating or just Maharajah's Chief Job Is Just Enjoying Life ? I By JANE EADS WASHINGTON ? All ? Mahara Jahs are rich, good-looking, have beautiful wives and flashy cars, and practically nothing to do but travel the pleasure circuits and play polo. In fact, the expensive sport of Kings and Princes is Aill thriving as one of the great nation al pastimes of India. All this I gathered in conver sations wtih two officials at the Indian Embassy who describe themselves as "just plain poor men." I was trying to get inform ation about a colorful visitor to the capital, the Maharajah of Jaipur. This Maharajah, rich, good-look ignore him when he returns. * A. That would be silly. Per haps the friends'have misinterpret ed the situation. Or perhaps the boy is lonely and enjoys the com pany of the girl, although not so much as yours. The thing for you to do is pretend you know nothing of the situation and make your let ters more interesting than ever be fore. Summer romances are short lived, anyway. When he comes home he'll probably forget all about her in a short time. 1 ing with a beautiful wife and prac tically nothing to do, is one of India's finest polo players and president of the Indian Polo Assn., which office probably keeps him much busier than his job as head of the newly-formed state of Rajas tan, which includes his own state and some 199 others, with a total population of 15,297,000. The Ma harajah of Jaipur, like some oth er hundreds of Maharajahs, is ap pointed Rajpranukh, or head man of the state. He's just a figurehead like the Kings and Queens of England, al cording to the men at the embassy. The chief ministers and Cabinet, elected by the majority party of the states are responsible for all the laws and governing of their areas. Ail the Maharajah has to do is count the taxes collected from the people and figure out ways to spend them. 5 "A very mysterious thing, a Maharajah," one of my Indian in formants told me. "No one takc$ them very seriously. They never allow themselves to be taken seri ously. They're nice people, don't bite human beings. They're just yPHBEDT PROBLEIIIS Let Clock Tick Off Child's Punishment ?y GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Mi.O. I COVET ? reputation for hav ing made chatr-slttlng a popular kind of punishment among many young parents. To my knowledge. I was the first to advocate In print this type of punishment, and I have consistently advised It for a number of years. Substitute Punishment It enables the parent to pen sion her tongue and abandon spanking before the child Is four or five, using this punishment as a substitute, and still to maintain good control of the youngster. Well established, it can safely be delegated to a baby sitter or other parent substitute. Avoids Further Trouble * Chalr-slttlng Is better for the tot 2-0 than sending him to his room, where he can find amuse ment or get Into more deviltry. Besides, there may not be many In the family from whom to be Isolated. Having been set In the chair where you can easily see him, he Is kept from getting Into further trouble. Don't begin this measure of control till you are pretty sure the child will stay In the chair-for the designated period. Make sure that any time be ventures to leave the chair earlier than the time set, he will get Immediate physical pain, as by spanking with your flat hand on his bare thigh. Moke Tim* Definite * Don't tell him to "sit there till I say you may get down." Always tay "for-minutes." Having a (Vwrlskt, IM, SIM clock on which you show him where the long hand must be be fore he Is tree, Is helpful. And don't shorten or lengthen the sentence on the basis of how he acts while In the chair. Other wise, you may tempt him to cry, scream, beg, make promises and the like. Always let the clock announce the end of his ordeal. It never has a headache, never gets angry or soft-hearted or nervous. No one can argue with the clock. It Just ticks on and on without feeling. Donl Explain Having pronounced the sen tence, you need have no occasion to say more, except to announce, perhaps, when the time Is up. Don't explain to the child why he was punished. If the reason was not apparent to him In the first place, he hardly should have been sent to the chair at all. Dont ask him to make proml- ' ses. Say nothing. Close the Issue forever, and act, from then on, as It nothing had happened. Don't Talk About Offense If, while serving sentence, he wishes to converse with you, da so as though he were free, but dont talk about his offense or punishment. .(My bulletins "Love and Re straint" and "Teaching Child Re sponsibility" may be had by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to me In care of this newspaper.)

The American Sociological Society in,its 50th an nual meeting here heard hundreds of papers from scholarly research ers in widely contrasting fields. There were papers dealing with such subjects as "Field Work i among Scottish Shepherds and German Peasants," "Bureaucracy East and West," "Voting Behavior in the Texas Primaries, 1954," "Differential Fertility in the State Df Washington 1920-1950," "Ecolog- I ieal. Societal and Cultural Orders Df a Group of Laundry Workers," "Racial Integration" and "Fire men in the Kansas, City Flood-Fire Disaster of 1952." Under "Courtship Patterns of Norwegian and American Univer sity Students," it was revealed that the Norwegian girl shares half of the dating expenses while the American girl ''rarely bears any of the dating cost." A paper titled "The Influence of Foreign Travel on the Attitudes of American Businessmen," reports that American top business execu tives travel abroad on the average of a trip ev^ry other year. Among other findings on this subject is this: "Much traveled businessmen are more likely to become Repub licans than untraveled ones (i.e. move toward group norms)." Another paper revealed that "During a period of almost 100 years, the mai nemphasis of Ameri can divorce novels have shifted from a sharp disapproval to a mild approval of the institution." "How ever," it continues, "divorce novels have continuously stressed a belief in the harmful effects of divorce on children," On "Psychoneurotic Breakdown | . I rich with nothing to do. Tl-eir main preoccupation is their own enjoyment, though there are some who have been great educators and have introduced great re forms." The Maharajah of Jaipur is a prominent figure in international polo. In 1933 he took his polo team to England where he set a record by winning all open tourna ments. Be headed India's team which defeated Pakistan last >car in New Delhi. A frequent visitor to the United States he came this time to see his American polo-play ing friend, Winston Guest, and to pay a visit to Washington. -wig ?
