TWENTY POUGHKEEPSIE NEW YORKER THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1950 Dorothy Dix Letter Box DEAR MISS DIX: Why do people who are well-behaved and who observe the convention in the city apparently leave all of their good manners at home when they go to visit in the country? I dread the summer because of the city vandals who descend upon me, who lie on my beds with their shoes on, put their feet on the furniture, drive their automobiles on the lawn, pull branches off the trees, uproot flowers and shrubs and in every way a show utter lack of respect and consideration for my property. Why do people who know better seem to think that anything goes in the country? RITA ANSWER: It would take a better psychologist than 'I am to explain why people's manners morals seem to suffer a sea change As soon as they get in the country. Maybe it is the warm weather that melts them down. Maybe it is the hoodlum in them that a vacation seems to bring out ns it does in so many, FORGET RULES I don't know why, but I do know that never a law of God nor man. nor even common decency, rules with many people beyond the city limits, and that when they go to the country they are guilty of a lack of consideration for others that they would be incapable of in town.

Take, for example, the common custom of city people inviting themselves to the houses of anyone they know who happens live in the country. They would not dream for a moment of dropping in unannounced at a friend's house for meal. But supposedly well- bred have no hesitation in stopping at the country house of even a casual acquaintance at lunchtime and demanding to Sundays, instend of being days of rest, and relaxation for country people, are days of horror when the woman who does her own work spends her time over the cooking stove preparing food for ravenous unexpected guests, and when the woman with servants expects any minute to have them to give notice and quit because of the extra work imposed upon them, There is no excuse to be made for these deadbeata, because every road is lined with good restaurants and soft -drink and sandwich stands, where they could refresh, themselves before going call upon friend. Country people have not forgot how to write or telephone or telegraph and any one may rest assured that if he was desired as a guest he would receive a invitation. As for people's disregard of one's property, that goes equally for country or town and is probably, worse in one than in the other and no, a pecullarity of human nature that no one can explain.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am the mother of three children, a girl aged 8, one boy of 4 and one of years. They are healthy, intelligent children, but as soon as they reach the age of 3 they become, nasty and impudent to me. back and laugh at me when I try to correct them. I have tried spanking, but it doesn't work with them. This morning my son of 4 threw a spoon at me and cut my head.

It breaks my heart to think that the children love are growing up with no respect for their mother. What can I do? ONE WHO NEEDS YOUR HELP ANSWER: When children are impudent to their parents it is invariably the parents fault. It is because the children have not Leen taught to respect their father and mother. I am opposed to the beating of children, but I am very sure that regeneration and reformation depend upon judicious spanking when children are too little to reason or know the nature and quality of their acts and when they must be taught not to do certain things by having it impressed upon them that they will suffer for it if they do. If the first time one of your children was ever impertinent to you you had laid him over your knee and applied the hairbrush where it would do the most good until he howled for mercy, no 4-year-old would have hurled a spoon at you and cu: your head open.

Your children will respect you exactly the way you demand. If you are weak and vacillating with them you cannot control them. If you have no laws that they have to obey you will have no authority over them. If you let them tease you into doing something they should not they will soon defy you. If you will stand for it they will insult you.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am very much in love with a girl and we wish to get married, but I have two sisters who make their home with me and whom I support. My sweetheart refuses to me and have my sisters live with me, as they have always run the house and would expect to continue to do so, but I hate to tell them that they will have to look after this. their What own shall home I and do? support MAN ANSWER: There is reason for you to sacrifice your life to your sisters. Help them get jobs and tell them they will have to stand 011 their own feet after this. Your duty is to the girl who is 1, love with you.

At the Market Extension Service in Agriculture and Heme Economics Have you been struggling with your food budget? With meat prices so high mine has taken a terrific beating. But I've noticed that serving fish once or twice a week has been an economical practice for me and can be for any homemaker who has to watch the family food budget.

There are certain months when certain fresh fish are better buys than bthers. Some months various fish are in greater supply and right now if we 80 fishing- and -do our fishing right in the marketswe'd find plenty of cod. porgies, mackerel, flounder, whiting and sea bass, That list offers ample variety! Remember the old saying about the Well, there month are being still. oyster two months season? to go in our so called "oyster season" if you are one of these persons adhering to that: old adage. Now.

here's what to look for when you buy oysters. When you buy oysters in the shell, the shell should be tightly closed and the shell unbroken. Shelled or shucked oysters should be plump, shiny, odorless and should have a good amount of liquor. Are you being on your toes when you go marketing these days? Take time to compare the price per serving of canned, frozen and fresh foods. You may be surprised no end in the money you can save.

Watch for special prices on frozen food. I've 'noticed several these past few days on baby limes and peas especially. D. K. G.

Name Street City State Jimmy gave his mother a note from the teacher that said, "Jimmy had nine words wrong out of 25. This is a failure." Mother felt very bad and Jimmy felt worse. "They're old words, mother. We haven't had them since the beginning of the term and she didn't tell us to study them again so how could 1 know them?" To begin with: It is always better to say, "Jimmy had 16 words correctly spelled out of a possible 25. I hope he does better tomorrow," than to accent the number wrong.

Praise the right and soft-pedal the wrong and the child will be encouraged to do better. Children forget very soon what is not kept in mind. Spelling must be reviewed thoroughly, and the words oftenest missed illed in context. Context is better than a drill list where the same word is repeated. Try this: Mary received a book for Christmas.

She also received a pencil and pen. John received a pair of skates. The baby received a rattle. This will be much more helpful than writing receive, receive, receive. But remember to review, repeat and use listed words and tables often enough to keep them in mind.

A test sprung on unprepared children is bad for their mental attitudes toward school, teacher and lessons. The same principle applies to any mistakes children make. The mistake must be recognized but what he did correctly is what is to be praised with emphasis. Praise for rightness will go far. toward stimulating a desire for more praise, and therefore more rightness, while accent on short-comings will settle like a cloud on his spirit and smother any desire for effort.

Effort to succeed is what we want to stimulate, and praise does it. You will often see children, who dislike helping about the house, bending every effort to help a neighbor. At home the child's efforts are likely to be- taken for granted, his shortcomings sharply accented, while at the neighbors' houses he is thanked, praised and made to feel wanted and important. The neighbor will not point out few weeds remaining in the border but will remove them himself later and so spare the child's feelings and let him go home elated. But I can't have him leaving the weeds," says his anxious mother.

"He will form the habit of carelessness 11 I do." Not if you thank and praise him. He will learn how- the clean border looks, and aim for that look in time, if he is told how much he has done well. Accent his rightness and it increases. Accent his wrongness and IT increases. State Studio WED in the Washington Street Methodist church Sunday was Mrs.
