Dad Gets Most Blame
Neglect of Parents Seen Growing Trend

Vancouver, March 28 - (CP)- Elderly people are going to be increasingly neglected by their grown-up children. And you can blame it all on Father.
Dr. Signori, the father of two little girls, says many parents have let the idea of democracy
in the family get completely out of hand.
“They’ve gone to the extreme opposite of authoritarianism by doing away authority entirely,” he said.
Who’s fault is it? Mainly Pop’s.
Back in the days when Father worked 50 and 60 or more hours a week, he still found time to rule the family with a pretty firm hand.
Today he works shorter hours but the slack time is taken up with activities, social and
recreational, which keep him away from home. Children were neglected.
Why doesn’t he stay home with his children?
“Maybe he misses the unexpected. Unexpected things happen on the football field.” There wasn’t much excitement in the bafflement of a child.
Dr. Signori said it is difficult to predict the ultimate fate of the family. Automation will
bring more free time, and more problems.
“We still wonder whether parents will find the job of dealing with children as interesting as the varied form of pursuits they will indulge in this extra free time.” he said in an interview.
Because parents neglected their children when they were small, the children in turn will neglect the parents in their old age. This situation appeared to be growing. More and more old people were living with old people than with their children.
“But the influence of a father need not be missing providing the mother can substitute for
the loss of masculine values,” Dr. Signori said.
“Father spends so much time at work and play that this substitution is becoming an everyday thing.”
He agreed with the view of the Child Study Association of America which said there is too much “Mom-ism” in family life today.
The New York Social Scientist said not enough emphasis is placed on Pop’s influence on the home and family.

$75 Monthly “Impossible”
PC’s Vote With Liberals, Reject CCF Pension Plan
Ottawa, March 29 -(CP)- Progressive Conservatives have balked at backing a CCF demand for $75-a-month old age pensions.
Defeats CCF, Socreds
They voted with the liberal majority last night in a 145-to-29 Commons vote which defeated a CCF non-confidence motion on the pension issue.
Earlier, Opposition Leader Diefenbaker, in a budget debate speech hitting the Government for continued high spending, said pensioners need more than the increase to $46 from $40 proposed in the March 14 budget. But $75 monthly was “impossible of attainment.”
In the vote, which closed the fifth day of the budget debate, the CCF was backed by the Social Credit Party. Three Quebec Independents voted with the majority.
If the budget debate continues, the house will later vote on a Conservative confidence motion which criticizes the government for, among other things, not providing “adequately” for old age pensioners.

And this is just a sample from pages 3-5. These pages have a kind of random, put
whatever will fit wherever layout - sports, politics, obituaries, local and international news
all mixed together. Then page 6 is op ed, (I'll post some of that page later) page 15 is “Housewife Column” (advise, letters) and “Women Today” (which was a column about why adopted children should be told that their birth mother was dead, lest they think she was a whore. Seriously.) and a half page of ads for cribs, strollers, and fur hats and stoles.
Pages 16 and 17 have home appliance ads, movie ads, “Uncle Ray’s Corner” (birding) and a Bridge column. Page 18 is mostly a Simpsons ad “Well Tailored Outfits for Boys” and two stories;

I like that old stuff for the sense of perspective it lends. I'm glad there are so many packrats out there in the world!!

Dr C, if I tell you that the OAP is now hovering somewhere around $450/mo, can you draw some interesting conclusions?

I must look for the lyrics to that great old Stringband anthem, "Dief'll Be the Chief Again." It begins:

quote:

---

In nineteen hundred and fifty-seven
When you was just a kid in school
And Cassius Clay was an amateur
Hustlin' down in Louisville
Dief come outa Prince Albert
He said he was a man with a dream
Now in '74 plays the champ once more
Dief'll be the chief again.

CHORUS:
Dief is the chief
Dief is the chief
Dief'll be the chief again
Everybody's happy back in '57
And nobody's happy since then
There was [what? what?] in the land
Order in the home
Swimmin' in the river back then
And I know in my heart
That Dief'll be the chief
And a dollar worth a dollar
Again.

OAP in 1957 was $46 a month, today $450 a month.

Has OAP kept pace with the fall in the value of money?

I've got a lot of jaw-dropping advice columns. I'll have to dig up some of my most outrageous ones.

One of my favourite space-related articles is about how scientists thought that the human body wouldn't hold together without gravity

The Cover story for March, 1953 is: Why Stalin Will Live to be 100." It is about the fact that lots of people from Stalin's home province, Georgia, live extra long lives.

Washington Diary -- After Ike
By Stephen L. Debalta, Free Press Correspondent at Washington

Washington - The ferments of a schism that is bound to rend asunder the Republican Party three years hence, when Eisenhower's ephemereal personality cult will no longer hold it entranced by the magic of power, are already passionately effervescing, bringing to the surface irreconciliable differences that are slowly undermining its unity. The followers of the late Senator Taft, leader of conservative Republicanism, have never abdicated their stern principles, they have only compromised to the extent of accepting a mode of peaceful coexistence under a regime of modified Republicanism, which many of them are denouncing as a replica of the Roosevelt New Deal. Clarence Budington Kelland, an editorial pillar of The Saturday Evening Post and an intellectual mentor of the Republican Party spoke out with surprising bluntness last week at a rally in the Southwest, attesting to the growing concern among the leaders about the future of the party now in power. "I repeat and emphasize what I have written and spoken many times during the past five years," he said. "The Eisenhower election was in no sense a Republican victory but a personal Eisenhower victory."
Eisenhower's nomination, in Chicago in 1952, was bitterly contested by the powerful right wing of the Republican Party and he actually owed his first election to a coalition of both Democrat and Republican rebels, who were not regular members of either one of the two major parties. Such a meeting of strange political bedfellows will not happen again because, as Mr. Kellar explained, whatever benefit Eisenhower's prodigious personal popularity has been to the party will no longer be a factor in the next presidential election.
Thus faced with a vacuum, the Republican leaders are already alarmed at the thought that three years from now the initiative will be seized by the so-called "Palace Guard." "This group which has had so much to do our President's thinking and conduct," the distinguished editor warned his listeners, "are the inventors of New Republicanism, who have labored in season and out of season to uproot and destroy Republicanism as we, who are true to it and revere it, conceive it to be, and they will occupy a most favorable strategic position when the time for important decisions comes."
Among the loudest grievances of the die-hard conservatives against the Republican Administration are some diluted social reforms bearing only a vague resemblance with the bold measures initiated by Roosevelt and Truman, but above all a sharp rebuke of Eisenhower's radical departure from the orthodox, isolationist way of thinking which has been the traditional policy of the Grand Old Party. "New Republicanism," thunders the spokesman for the conservatives, "betrays every historical tenet and principle of our party. We stand appalled at some of its results, the most dire of which is a budget of more than $70 billion." The items in the huge budget, which have drawn the strongest objections, are the proposed expropriations for so-called "foreign aid." There is a different cleavage in the Congress of the United States on the policy of foreign aid which, for better or worse, has been adopted by us as the best means of making friends and wielding influences, basing this action on the universally accepted belief that "money talks louder than words."
History will undoubtedly acknowledge the debt owed to Eisenhower personally for having made a large segment of our population mentally receptive to a wide world concept. We have greatly advanced along the road to internationalism during his tenure of office and this, no doubt, is due to his own experience as an active participant in the impressive Armageddon, in which the world's leading nations were involved. Ike will have earned the gratitude of those of us whose sights are raised on a wider horizon, even though at times we may not agree with him on what we see. One of the most recent results of his constant efforts for bringing this country in closer contact with the rest of the world, is an organization, very little known so far but on the way of becoming an important factor in the promotion of universal peace. It is the People to People Foundation, Inc. of which the honorary chairman id Dwight D. Eisenhower.
This is a unique group which with the financial aid of the Ford and Rockefeller foundations, two most generously endowed godfathers, hopes to acomplish miracles in the ambitious project of bringing into closer relations the various nations of the world. Chales E. Wilson, head of the multimillion dollar General Electric Corporation, guiding spirit of the People to People scheme, summed up in a few words the objectives of the group. "We are on our own," he said emphatically, "free of our friends in Washington and we would not have bought this program if it had tied us to the Government. Our main weapons are truth, understanding among peoples and brotherly love. Our purpose is to promote closer cooperation among the peoples of the earth and between them and the people of the United States of America."
