MRS FRANK JONES EARNHEART—of Salisbury, who before her marriage last night at the chapel at Duke university, Durham, was Mis' Mildred Deppe Schulken of Durham, daughter of Mr. and Mrs ‘R0ger Moore Schulken also of Durham. Mr. Earnheart is the son of H. F. Earnheart and the late Mrs. Earnheart of Salisbury. Problems Of Adolescence Believed Greater Today ■-- * Hrs. Howell Says Advice, Aid Available At Sev eral Agencies Here By MRS. EMMA D. HOWELL, Executive Secretary, Family Service Society, A Red Feather Agency We hear a great deal these days about "problem” boys. Tearful mothers and baffled fathers come lo the social agencies to tell about he strange behavior of their ado lescent sons. Many of these people oelieve they have failed as par ties, because their ’teen-age son tas become quite a different per lon from what he was two or three tears ago. Fortunately, we can reassure most of these perplexed and wor ried parents. But their bewilder ment, when confronted with a dole s cence, suggests that most parents could profitably study this phe nomenon, and find out what the normal accompaniments of adoles :ence are. Adolescence is more thin a bio ogical process. The little boy is (rowing up, growing toward inde iendence. At the same time, he s not entirely free from a crav ng for security; he still needs par ffltal affection and care. He sees limself as an adult. He resents mpervision and authority. He wants more freedom. He wants to day out later at night. He wants # choose his own companions. He rants to decide what he’s going to lo with his life from now on. ii you have a son of 14 or 10 doesn't that sound familiar? That is the normal pattern of adolescence. Parental c o n f 1 ic ts generally arise because that pat tern doesn’t coincide with the citu ation when father was young, or "hen grandpa was a boy. In a primitive community, an indivi dual is either a child, completely dependent, completely subject to authority, or he is an adult, self lufficient and independent. Even ® or 70 years ago, grandfather, a! 15, was probably out of school, earning his own living, and look ing forward in a year or so, to •carriage. Today the youngster at 15 may look forward—with more or less pleasure—to another five or six Jeavs of schooling. During part of lhat time, he will be a member of *s parents' household. For that fe^son adolescence is, in 1946, a tnueh more complicated process than it used to be, a greater source worry and conflict. While life is more complex, and hoy's a tainment of adulthood “Wre difficult certain fundamen , do remain unchanged, al *°rld may tend to 'weaken their in u°ugh many forces in today’s in ‘Uence. The family is still the cen °f community and nation. A horal code remains as the basis jll customs and our laws. The strength of our American demo cracy is based upon the idea of the dignity of man and dependent upon the unity and strength of the fam ily. Parents must be ready and able to help their sons adapt them selves to the unchanging as well as to the changing things. And that is a big job, if the parents them selves have not grown up. Worry and conflict can be eased if we accept the complications of adolescence as normal; if we ac cept the boy's growing independ ence as desirable. We’ll have to help along that development of independence, instead of blocking it. Father and mother are doing their son no favor by keeping him tied too long to the family apron strings. On the other hand, there is still place for affeition and guid ance; while the child may rebel if he is kept thoroughly under author ity, he will feel rejected and lost if he believes that his father and mother are pushing him too rapid ly toward independence. What can the parents do to make adolescence easier for their son and for thepi? They can, first of all, understand this “conflict" of adolescence. They can be prepared to relax authority gradually, per mitting the boy to make more of his decisions—yet letting him un derstand that his parents are still in his corner. Helping a boy through adolescence requires more time and thought than they have probably given to the boy’s up bringing in the youngster’s earlier years. But time devoted to such a project is deiimteiy woiui wun=. Time is needed to talk things over—to discuss the boy’s prob lems and answer his questions in the light of 1946. It is futile to back up a parental command or sugges tion or statement with the ancient argument: “When I was a boy I did so and so.” The boy has a per fect answer: “Times have chang ed.” They have, indeed! One doesn’t become a good par ent automatically. Probably moth ers of young babies get together more, and learn more from one another than the fathers of adoles cents do. But that doesn’t have to be so. If you think you have a serious problem with your growing son, you can get some good, sound, useful advice from staff members of the Family Service society, the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Brigade Boys’ club, Shaw Boys’ club, Y.M.C. and Y.W.C.A. A group of you can get together and invite a boy’s worker from one of these Red Feather services to talk to you and with you. The Community Chest would be glad to send a qualified speaker to meet with 15, 20, or more fathers, or mothers, or both, who are finding the problems of adolescence too much for them; or who want some assistance in the useful and satis fying job of being a good parent.

S. Airmen BELGRADE, Aug. 17.— (A>1 - Yugoslav military authorities re fused today to discuss the case of a U. S. Army transport plane foiced down by Yugoslav fighters last week on the grounds that it was a matter which should be handled by the governments of the United States and Yugoslavia. Col. Richard C. Patridge, United States military attache in Bel grade, conferred with the deputy chief of staff of the Yugoslav army and was informed the Yugo slav war ministry would net dis cuss the case. Partridge learned nothing more of the circumstances of the Aug. 9 incident and was told “it’s a matter for the two governments to handle.” The seven Americans, two Yugoslavs and a Turk who were aboard the transport remained in forced internment as American authorities pondered what was meant by a Yugoslav foreign of fice note which admitted Yugoslav fighters took “determined steps” in forcing the transport to earth near Ljubljana. It was still un known whether the C-47 was “shot down” or merely forced to land. California's first olive trees were introduced by Franciscan mission aries from Mexico. Miliet is a warm season crop and normally is seeded in North Dakota in late June or early July. r-——— I Army Division __ - - ~~ AnNuer to l'rerioun miisie HORIZONTAL 1,8 Depicted is insigne of U.S. Army —— Division !14 Make ready 15 Arrow poison 16 River island lf Pertaining to mail service ,19 Number 20 Nova Scotia (ab.) 21 Fondle 22 Scene of Italian defeat,i Mar. 1,. 1896 24Tasto solo (ab.) 25 Legal point 26 Station (ab.) 28 Exclamation 30 Street car tsa nave 34 Silkworm 35 Woody plant 36 Egyptian river 37 Sea eagle 3«Paid notices m Coast Guard (ab.) 42 Malleable * 45 Onager 46 Myself 48 Fourth Ara bian caliph 50 Sleeping visions 52 Label 53 One to whom : _ goods are sold $5 Prolific I 57 Enclose ! 58 Lures.
