IF THERE MUST BE WAR
Our eyes turn to the Mid-East once again. The retali-
: ation of the Israeli forces was expected. A nation does
not see its sons die without some retaliation. The omi-
nous signs of war are again in the skies. The Four
Horsemen once again will ride — and this time it will
not be too easy for Israel. Not on the sidelines, but in
the front trenches and the open seas, is the Communist
with all his hate, with all his lust for blood. There would
have been no war were these merchants of hell willing
to listen to reason and stopped equipping nations for war.
In South Asia or in Central Africa or in the Mid-East —
it is the same story — the red lust, the red arms, and of
course, the red urging. How long will it be before the
tsars of today will find the same end as those of yesterday?

Dear Ruth: What should be the attitude of parents once the
child goes off to college? I, for one, worry about my daughtei
and then say to myself that I did the best I could up to this
point and the rest is up to my daughter. Is this common among
mothers?
Answer: You are the good average mother who just worries.
You are not going to be on hand when your daughter has to
make decisions all the days of her life. She will have to be
independent of her family life, of you and your husband sooner
or later. College is a good starting point. You know your daughter
better- than anyone. Your confidence in her has to be maintained
and you must not show her any fears you might have con-
cerning her being away from home. Keep the home fires and
your ethical ideals in front of you daughter by frequent letters,
even phone call after her first homesickness has passed. Don’t
put ideas into her head that you suspect, or even hint of the
fact that you might be worrying about her. The healthiest re-
lation between the family and the daughter is to bolster her
own personality and her own decisions with frank reaction which
praise as often as possible. It is surprising to find out how some
of our youngsters acquire independence, ability to fend for self,
and to make necessary adjustments without adult interference
and adult supervision — and they make a good job of it.
Dear Ruth: I hate to ask this, but I’m going to anyhow. I
have read this column ever since it started. I do not remember
seeing any question about an alcoholic husband or alcoholic wife.
Don’t we Jews ever drink to excess?
Answer: Drink we do, to excess — no. However, we are be-
ginning to get there. Some of our good people do drink to an
excess and they are just as prone to alcoholism as the next man.
Religion doesn’t enter into the drinking picture. One thing does
— alcoholic drinks are not tabu in the Jewish home and we
have imbibed wine and other liquors for many centuries. We
have learned restraint. I hope it will continue.
Dear Ruth: One of my gentile friends asked me if Jews ever
have problems in the family. I didn’t know what to say, so am
passing it on to you for an answer.
Answer: If you have been reading this column you surely
realize that the Jewish family also has problems comparable to
the non-Jewish families. We have had a long tradition of fewer
divorces than the average people or group, but this historic truth
is being evaporated with the passing years. As a family group
we seem to be better prepared for the buffetings of fate — but
this has been the results of tradition and custom and has been
ingrained in the offspring from the cradle. Jews form a com-
pact family group and stick close together. It has been that
way for centuries. Perhaps the centuries ahead will treat Jewish
family life in much the same. way. But who can fortell
tomorrow?
