The other hill, cleared this fall,

after the game, Nice? You bet
it's nice. But is all this molly-
coddling producing any, better
hockey players, or citizens? Not
so you'd notice.

We don't want our kids to be
as gawky and unaccomplished
as we were, so we, give them
swimming lessons, • dancing les-
sons, figure skating lessons,
music lessons. But we neglect
to give them lessons in decency,
respect for their elders, simple
courtesy, integrity, and a lot of
other things, equally or more im-
portant.
As a result, •they turn into ac,,
complished, selfish, ill-Mannered
teen agers, and we simply can't
understand bow it happened,
when they've had "such a nice
upbringing and so many advan-
tages."
.* *.* *
Because we haven't the gump-
ton to say "no" and suffer the
,inevitable whining, we let the
kids wallow in tripe, — comic
books, crummy TV shows third-
rate movies, fifth-rate Presley
—then complain that the schools
are terrible, "they don't seem
to absorb anything at school
these days at all."
• * n *
This could turn into a diatribe,
but it won't, I feel sorry for the
kids. I think 'they're exchanging
the real for the synthetic,, with-
out ever having a chance to know
the difference. How many young-
sters to-day, for example, know
the thrill of hoarding every nic-
kel for months, to buy a' cherish-
ed base ball glove? It's much
easier to put the pressure on the
old man. * *
But I feel more sorry for the
parentS. They bust •a gut to give
their boy or girl all the things
for which their own tender souls
ached at one time, When the for-
mer turns out to be an insolent,
useless, young punk, and the lat-
ter a sneaky little tramp, their
horror is only equalled by their
disbelief.* * *
Mind you, not all kids get this
life-at-The Ritz treatment, and
not all parents have their heads
stuck as deep in the sand as
those described, There's no non-
sense about pampering kids
around our house.
Like Saturday afternoon, for
instance. In hearty, matey,
father-to-son tones, I suggested
to Hugh that we shovel the walk
together. Together, mind, you,
not telling him the had to do it.
"Can't", he says, "gotta, goda
the matinee. Where's my quar-
ter? Then I gotta goda Charley's
to watch TV. Roy Rogers. C'mon,
Dad; gimme the two bits."
My own ad Wo*tild have just
pointed at the snow shovel, and
I'd have spent the afternoon
making it fly. I pointed at the
clock and, said: "Say, you'd bet-
ter get going, or you'll be late,"
and handed him the quarter. No
nonsense around our house about
pampering.
* *
Like Sunday afternoon, when
I Was having a little snooze, and
Kim thumped me oil the stomach
till / woke up, and said: "Daddy,
Will you go Uptown and get me
a comic. .1% read them all and I
haven't a thing to read and Hugh
won't play With Mt, will 'you
Daddy?", giving Me that big-
brown-eyes look that *mild have
melted the heart of the late un-
lamented Stalin,
So I get out of tey slippers1
into my goloshes, and Walk half
a mile 'to tilee_, if 'thre't 4 drug.
Wire open so I tail` buy the tlege•
nerate little devil a comic, And
she can't even read yet, just
