FINLAY is making no
predictions on the rain. Says
if he does, -tie'll count on the day
and get himself into a nervous
state
Anyhow, he doesn't believe in j
predictions. Seems his grand-;
father, in 1885, (there was a {
drouth then in case you didn’t
know), wrote to a weather proph-
et and asked when it would rain
around here. The prophet wrote
back and said,“That part of the
country i£ fast becoming a de-
sert. 'tyjere will be more
rain.’’ ,
You guessed it. It began to
pour frotn that moment on, and
the country was almost flooded.
Wish we could find that proph-
et and get him to make the same
prediction with the same results.

the time being!

WASHINGTON — (NEA)—President Truman probably

health and new ideas of things he would like to have Con-
gress do. As matters stand today, his program before Con-

in the W hite House. The proposed cost is far greater, due to
Hie defense effort, but the number of proposals is fewer. .......
A year ago, t-hre were aim >st 150 legislative proposals on

Child-Worshippers Make
Their Children Helpless
. #»■ *•«’
0 A
By MURIEL LAWRENCE
Child-Worship is a form of parental abuse.
When we make another adult our “all,'' we burden him
heavily. If we make our child our “all,” we either lose him
or stunt his emotional growth so much that we make, 'hifn;
helpless for life.
Children are not gods. When we try to make them pi*e-’
tend that they are, we teach them to fear and hate the fact
they arc human beings.
Fred’s mother made him her god. flivorced after an any •
happy marriage, she frankly referred to him as her "all.”
One night he made an excuse to borrow her car for a secret
date with a girl. Speeding along a lonely road, he lost con-
trol of the car. The girl was hurt. The loy who was his
mother’s “all” forced the injured girl out of the c,ar and left
her to be found the next morning by the state police..
Like Fred’s mother, chfid-worshippers are often parents
whose own happiness has been denied. Retreating into the;
kind of self-righteous "idealism” that pretends to be superior
to normal human hungers and needs, they require the same
evasions from their children.
If such children do find the strength to claim their right
to fall in love and marry, their sense of guilt at betraying the
high-minded "ideals" of their parents can turn them into
half-husbands and half-wives.

Lines of communication have been left'open, however, for
tlit President to hand Congress a lot more special requests. I
Most important 1 these will be the President’s proposals for I
revision of the National Defense Production Act of 1950..

1 wo of these commissions have already reported. First is
C • Waft r Resources Policy Group under Morris- L. Coqke.
Its three-volume report could lead to a tremendous progrim
for fiver valley developments. Second is the International
He “lopment Advisory Board under Nelson Rockfellcr. It
has recommended a $2 billion program for Point Four Aid to
underdeveloped countries.
Other commissions still to report are: Commission on Mi-
gratory Labor, Communications Policy Hoard. Mineral". Pol-
icy Committee and the Commission of Internal Security and
Civil Rights. This last is headed by Admiral Chester L.
Nimitz. No matter what it recommends, there will be a love-
ly fight. For Congress has Nevada Sen. Pat McCarran’s Ju-
diciary Committee investigating the same field. And the
House Un-American Activities Committee has ideas on this
subject too.
As f r the President’s program already-before Congress, it
may be broken down into a dozen major headings. These arc
the principal items that have been mentioned briefly or spell-
ed out in detail in Presidential messages to the 82nd Con-
gress since January. It makes a convenient check list on
what’s in the Washington mill.

There are certain tests we can apply to our love for our
’youngsters that may hfclp us discover whether it is overloaded
with worship.
If we feel a need to always excuse our child’s wrong-doing,
it may indicate that our desire to believe he is perfect is
greater than our love for him.
If we never seem to find reasons to approve his friends, it
may mean that we want to keep our little god to ourselves.
If we insist oft "holding up one child as a paragon ~W his
brothers and sisters, we may be inflicting adoration upon
him.
If we are outraged or over-sympathetic when our child en-
counters hurt or failure, it may indicate we resent the fact
our little idol has to face reality like anyone else.
Our great religious teachers knew well what they were
about when they made the First Commandment primal moral
law, and showed us how to protect those we love against the
ordeal of bearing the cross of adoration. „■
