Science upends
only child myths
By Karen Blaker, Ph.D.
DEAR DR. BLAKER - My
husband and I are both 35. We
have active and interesting
careers.
Now we want to have a
child. That’s all we want —
one child.
We do not think that we
have the energy or the time
for a larger family.
We wonder whether it is
unfair to bring a child into the
world if he or she will not
have the company of siblings.
What is your opinion?
DEAR READER - At the
turn of the century, a distin-
guished psychologist labeled
only children as “jealous,
selfish, egotistical, dependent,
aggressive, domineering and
quarrelsome.”
am leaving home in a few
months to get married. I am
worried about leaving my
parents.
It’s not that they are physi-
cally ill. It’s that I am an only
child. They have never done
anything without me.
When they have fights, I
side with the one who is right
or the one who needs my sup-
port the most. I know I have
been instrumental in holding
their marriage together.
Is there anything I can do to
make this separation easier
for them?
DEAR READER -
Although you may not realize
it, you are also suffering from
separation anxiety. Only chil-
dren find it particularly diffi-
cult to leave home because of
the close bond of love —
choices
Karen Blaker Ph.D.
Many parents have since
gone to extraordinary lengths
to prevent their offspring
from being only children —
often having second children
for no other reason.
The findings of modern
researchers are more optimis-
tic. Dr. Toni Falbo, assistant
professor of educational psy-
chology at the University of
Texas in Austin, recently
reported that only children do
not differ significantly from
anyone else.
Even more upbeat are the
results of studies at the Amer-
ican Institutes for Research in
Palo Alto, Calif. Those studies
found that only children, com-
pared to those from two-child
families, “appear more
cultured, mature and socially
sensitive,” “tend to marry
better-educated spouses” and
“have higher intelligence.”
The taboo still persists. But
having an only child is more
acceptable than it was even
10 years ago.
DEAR DR. BLAKER - I
unshared with any siblings —
between themselves and their
parents.
During these last few
months at home, try to
involve yourself a bit less in
your parents' discussions.
Give them more privacy.
See how they do without
your maneuvering. Also exa-
mine how you feel about giv-
ing up the intermediary role.
This is a small step, but it
may help smooth the transi-
tion.
You might save a life with
advice from Dr. Blaker’s

One Threatens Suicide.” Send

Diets and diverticulosis

Assertive girls get dates
By ROBERT
WALLACE, Ed.D.
Copley News Service
Dr. Wallace: I’m 15 and
I’m sure other girls have the
same problem. I’ve been told
that I am a very beautiful
girl.
I’m involved in church ac-
tivities and active in the stu-
dent council at an all-girl
Catholic school. As 1 write
this letter, I have never been
kissed and would you believe
that I have never even been
asked for a date.
My mother tells me to be
patient but my patience is
running low. What can I do
to make boys notice me? —
Jan, Burlington, N.C.
Jan: Believe me, the boys
are noticing you. Because
you are beautiful, most boys
only look because they are
afraid of beautiful girls -
afraid of being rejected or
afraid they can’t compete
with other boys for your
friendship.
So — if mother allows you
to date, take matters in your
own hands. Be a little asser-
tive.
When you see a boy who
catches your fancy, smile
and talk to him. Give him
your phone number and ask
him to call you. It works!
Dr. Wallace: I'm 14 and
pregnant. My boyfriend and
1 are in love and he has
asked me to marry him.
My problem is that my
parents don’t yet know about
my condition. They are in
their late 50s and will kick
me out when 1 tell them. In
fact, this will be a good
excuse for them to unload
me. They said that I was the
result of a mistake and that
when they found out they
were going to have me they
were disappointed and want-
ed a boy.
I will never have an abor-
tion and want to get mar-
ried. Please advise me.
Hurry, I’m almost three
months pregnant. — Name-
less, Everett, Wash.
Nameless: Sometimes
parents say things they real-
ly don’t mean. They threaten
but when a crisis occurs
with their child, they rally to
help.
Now that you know the
baby’s father will marry
you, do what is right and tell
your parents that you are
pregnant and that the baby’s
father has asked to marry
you. Many decisions must be
made and your parents
should be included.
If indeed your parents do
kick you out (I don’t think
they will) marry the boy if
you love him and he loves
you.
Dr. Wallace: Last summer
I met a guy at the Ohio State
Fair. He kept staring at me
and then he came over and
introduced himself to me
and asked for my phone
number. I gave it to him and
then I had to leave.
About two weeks later be
called and he calls me once
a week. (We are both 16 and
he lives in Alliance, Ohio.)
I think he likes me but my
problem is that I am madly
in love with him. Should I
tell him the next time he
calls? I do want him to know
how I feel. — Valerie, Sid-
ney, Ohio.
Valerie: Since you have
only seen this boy once and
that for just a very short
time, let's say you are infa-
tuated with him. That old
adage, “Absence makes the
heart grow fonder," is very
evident.
Enjoy his phone calls
(writing is much less expen-
sive) and maybe plan to get
together this summer so you
can get to know one another.
Don’t tell him that you are
madly in love with him or
the relationship might end
before it gets started.
Write to Dr. Robert Wal-
lace, TwEEN 12 and 20, Cop-
ley News Service, in care of
this newspaper. Please en-
close a stamped, self-ad-
dressed envelope.

Question of prophecy
By Lawrence Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB - My
husband had X-rays taken
after a barium enema and he
was told he has diverticulosis.
The doctor said it was a mild
case and he should have bran
in his diet. I have heard that
people with diverticulosis
should not have raw fruits or
vegetables and should avoid
highly seasoned foods. We
were wondering if there is a
special diet one should follow.
My husband is 67 and in good
health. In fact, he jogs about
five miles almost every day.
DEAR READER - I
gather from your letter that
your husband has no symp-
toms and the diverticulosis
was found as a result of X-
rays, which may have been
part of a regular medical
checkup. You may be
surprised to know those little
pockets of the colon are quite
common. Estimates run as
high as 70 percent in older
people and they are not rare
in younger people. They often
occur in people who have no
Cub Scout
pack meets
Den One of Pack 69 during a
meeting at Ken’s Pizza this
week celebrated birthdays for
March, with Jason Maroney
being honored.
Brandon Riley received a
bead toward his Wolf badge.
Plans were discussed for an
outing at Lake Cypress Springs
in May. The next meeting will
be Tuesday, March 24, at 4 p.m.
in the Scout room at First
United Methodist Church.
Members present at the
meeting were Jeromy Odell,
reporter, Patrick Barron, Chris
McCasland, Bryan Thomai,
Jason Maroney, Brandon Riley,
denner, Philip Kerby and Mike
Moore. Den leader is Bidi
Barron and assistant den leader
is Barbara Odell.
symptoms at all and have no
evidence of abnormal bowel
function.
In other instances the
symptoms people complain
about are from an associated
spastic colon. Of course, you
can have symptoms from
diverticula if one becomes
inflamed. That can cause
symptoms similar to acute
appendicitis but it is usually
on the left side. And they can
perforate or bleed.
So if a person has no symp-
toms at all there is probably
very little that needs to be
done. I agree that it is wise to
increase the bulk in the diet in
that case. The additional bulk
can, and should, include fresh
fruit and vegetables, in a
salad, for example.
The case for using fiber in
the diet for people who have
diverticulosis is discussed in

Is the world approaching the
final climactic period of
destruction and judgment
predicted by the biblical
prophets?
That question was posed
Thursday by the Rev. Gaither
Day, pastor of the First United
Methodist Church, in a talk
before the Rotary Club.
He did not give a positive
answer but cited various trends
and happenings and called on
Americans to do a better job of
fulfilling their responsibilities
as citizens of a “chosen nation.”
Mr. Day noted a sharp in-
crease in concern over
prophecy, attributing it largely
to Q>e effects of television and
radio preaching on the subject.
He called attention to people

preparing for “last stands”
against some vauge but ex-
pected threat.
He also expressed a great
amount of personal concern on
the issue.
“None of us knows what
.tomorrow hol^s, for us,” he
declared, “but we certainly
know who holds control over
tomorrow.
“Events in Central America
could change our lives rapidly
in the next 24 hours. I have
confidence in God. I feel that He
has done a pretty good job in
caring for us.”
Mr. Day said Israel and the
Arabs already have fulfilled a
great amount of biblical
prophecy “as we know it.”

He played a tape recording
equating prophecies from the
Bible with events in the Middle
East and Russia’s military
adventures.
“Like Israel, we are a chosen
people in the world, but we
seem to have lost our sense of
leadership,” Mr. Day declared.
“As a blessed people, we have a
responsibility.
“We must be better people,
better leaders, better parents
and a better community. We
must have confidence in our
creator and in the leadership of
our nation. We must work
together to make a better
world.” •’
Dan E. Bonner was program
chairman for the meeting.

DEAR DR. LAMB - Mv
husband has fat tumors all
over his body. He started get-
ting them 25 years ago. He is
61 now and has had several
large ones removed. I would
like to know if his diet has
anything to do with them? Are
they cholesterol deposits? Are
they serious? What can be
done for them?
DEAR READER - They
are body fat and are called
lipomas. The fatty tumor is
encapsulated in a thin
membrane. They are not
malignant and are not caused
by his diet, although they may
shrink if an obese person loses
a lot of weight. They will not

mistake to assume what a
