HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1962-04-19, Page 3Compelled To Be Two Parents In One Are we failing him? Spoiling him? Depriving him? Such ques- tions, swapped among parents about their children, are famil- iar. Dut few fathers and moth- ers ask them with the particular Poignance of the divorced and widowed. Compelled to be two parents in one, the lone guardian plays a desolate and demanding role that is increasingly common in US, life. Today, there is one divorce to every four U.S, marriages; all told, some 6 million children live • in one -parent homes. Badly need- ed for those involved: Advice and understanding from sympa- thetic outsiders. That need is now being promisingly met by Parents Without Partners, a five- year-old organization with 65 national chapters and 16,000 members, From the Bronx to the San Fernando Valley, single par- ents are klatsehing in homes and churches, listening to psychiat- rists and social workers, tossing back and .forth over the coffee cups their common perplexities about everything from discipline to adolescent sex, "I didn't realize what a social outcast.I ,would be after I was divorced," reports Mrs, Ann Kel- man of Palo Alto, Calif,, the mother of three' tow -headed boys. At first, Mrs, Kelman en- joyed a flurry of invitations, but through the months they dwindl- ed to zero, "1 got the impression," she says, "that nearly ever other woman thought I was trying to steal her • husband." ' Parents Without Partners has offered her a new social outlet — barbecues for the kids, an occasional party mixed with the serious seminars en parenthood. Inevitably, many a chapter is an incubator of romance. The national president, for example, not long ago married his'execu- tale Is not a club for women looking for husbands or for men on the prowl," says a Miami father, "PWP stresses the family as a group." In Los Angeles, the group regularly treks off to Ma- rineland and Disneyland, chil- dren in tow, In Buffalo, N.Y., e puppet show was recently staged, rhe Palo Alto, Calif., chapter is starting a pre-school nursery for working mothers. According to. Ars. Barbara Mordy of Ann Ar- bor, Mich,, "PWP has made my four children realize others -are 'n the same situation," The first Parents Without Partners were two in number. In 1957, a pair of divorced New Yorkers, James Agleson, a com- mercial artist, and writer Jacque- line Bernard decided single par- ents might learn from each other and placeda classified ad in The • New York Post. Its message to other lone parents — let's get together. Both have since be- come inactive, but what they planted has blossomed into a loosely knit national organiza- tion that holds annual meetings, provides group health insurance, and issues 0 monthly journal whose topics range from "Who Pays a Widow's Bills?" to "Don't Eat Up Your Alimony." If PWP has at times an over - sweet flavor of uplift, it is un- surprising, since the majority of members are women seeking spiritual balm as well as answers to financial security and how to be a father to a boy. For male members, however, the problems are largely the same, "When we get with single people," says Chicago's John Jenkins, who has custody of ,two children, "we find we don't belong there be- cause we have kids and think differently, We're like ducks out of water." For Jenkins, PWP has opened a fresh reservoir of ideas and companionship — even of confidence, Q. How can 1 write with ink on celluloid? A.

A second fuel charge of 25 tons of•'uronium oxide will be in- stalled in the reactor early this spring. The first nuclear core set a record by producing one billion kilowatt hours of electricity. A Girl Who Beat The Strongest Men Her vital statistics at twenty- five were — 43, 29, 43. She was the strongest woman, and per- haps the strongest human being, tic world has ever known. ' Each morning before break- fast she kept in training by lift- ing her husband, who weighed 154 lbs., high above her head six times with either hand! One of her most famous acts was to lie on a bed of nails while supporting a 210-1b. anvil on her chest. Men in the audience were in- vited to pound on the anvil with sledge -hammers, 13y tensing her iron -hard back muscles at the moments of impact, Kati kept the nails from piercing her skin. Born in a gipsy caravan in Al- sace-Lorraine, Kati Brumbach, at fifty, was still able to lift her 210 -,Ib, s,n over her head with one hand. Thirty years earlier she defeat- ed strong man Sanclow in a weightlifting contest. From then on, she was billed Sandwina. But it wasn't strength alone which made Kati a • leading at- traction with Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey and in vaudeville houses throughout the world. She was no muscled mon- strosity, but very pretty, with a lovely and exciting figure. In- deed, the first part of her act was devoted to posing, in brief and tailored costumes, as Justice, Columbia, Germania, Liberty and other characters designed to show off her statuesque beauty. She stood :6 ft.. 4 in. and weigh- ed 210 pounds. From infancy, Kati had toured France and Germany with her circus -owner father and acro- batic mother, When only two years of age she could do hand- stands, And when she was six- teen, her father was offering 100 marks to any man who could wrestle Kati and pin her should- ers to the mat: There were naturally many takers — but no winners! In _Saxony, a nineteen -year-old unemployed acrobat named Max Heymann accepted the chal- lenge. Within seconds, he had been slammed to the, mat with such force that all the'breath was knocked out of him. Afraid that she had hurt him badly, Kati leaned over anxious- ly, Max opened his eyes 'and .SIGN CONTRACT Heavyweight champion Floyd Patter - Aon, left, shakes hands with Sonny Liston offer signing their c'ontraot for c title bout. whispered: "I love you. Will you marry me?" Kati stared down, blushed, then said softly: "Pretend you can't get up." She then lifted Max in her arms and carried him right out of the arena! Later, Kati told friends: "I beat him, 1 then pick him up in my arms, look at the little man, (Max, was a more 5 ft. 5 in.) "Then I fall in love with Max and Kati eloped to Nor- way where they were married. So began almost' fifty years of wedded bliss, Kati performed before kings, queens, emperors and presidents. All over the world crowds stared 'in awe and amazement at the tremendously strong and beauti- ful girl. Once in Cologne, Kati was watching Si ?mew) Breitbart, then billed e. "The World's Strongest Man." On seeing her, he sneeringly challenged the girl to equal his act, When Kati jumped down on the stage, Breitbart threw her a length of heavy chain. She at once snapped it in two and tossed the pieces back! From that moment, the rivalry between them was literally "strong" — and on Briethert's part bitter, They met in various cities, Each time Breitbart chal- lenged Kati to best one of his acts, And each time she did. One day in 1919, Kati did her usual two performances, then went home, That night, the baby wrs born. Less ' than a week later, she wasagain doing her heavy-lift- ine act. Kati's feats daily grew more and more incredible. She stood;up under the weight of a 1,200 lb. cannon balanced on her shoulders. She balanced a bridge over which walked forty men and four horses. She supported three women, two standing on ladders,, the third `holding the ladders up- right, with all the weight resting on a leather belt around Kati's waist.. When .she died In 1952, per- haps .the finest and truest trib- ute paid to her was: "She had the muscular strength of ten or- dinai'y men, and the charming femininity of one hundred ordin- ary women." , • Troubles of a Huge Ballplayer Blond, brawny Frank Howard of the. Los Angeles Dodgers rub- bed dirt into the handle of his 36 -ounce bat and stepped quickly into the batting cage at Al Lang Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. Af- ter setting himself in a spread stance, the 6 -foot -7, 250 -pound right-hander swung easily. He lined the first pitch through the left side of the infield, then powered a fast ball into the screen in left -center, 375 feet away. "Look at that big slob and you think he's got to be. the strong- est men in baseball," Dodger coach Leo Durocher told NEWS - WEEK Sports Editor Barry Got- tehrer. "I've seen him fooled, 'catch a pitch with one hand on the hat, and. stili drive' it 450 feet. Then he starts pressing and lunging, and he looks like the worst bum you've ever seen. With his power and potential, you've got to be patient. Things don't come easy far a big man." In a week of spring -training games, nothing was comingeasy' for 25 -year-old Frank Howard, the man who was supposed to be the next Babe Ruth. He was hitting .095, with one double and one home run in 21 at -bats, Yet for the Dodgers, 9-5 favorites to win the National League pen- nant, Howard remained the big man, Blessed with excellent pitching (Don Drysdale, Sandy Koufax, and. Johnny Podres), impressive hitting and fielding (Wally Moon Tommy and. WillieDavis, and Maury Wills), and in- credible depth, the Dodgers lack only poWer, "If they play How- ard regularly and he comes around big," said veteran Stan Musial, "they'd be the best team in baseball." Getting Howard to come around at all has been a perplex- ing problem for the Dodger or- ganization. When signed for a staggering $108,000 bonus in 1958, Howard, an All-American bas- ketball player at Ohio State, was a base -ball player of unlimited strength and limited skill, To gain more finesse, he was assign- ed to Pete Reiser, then a minor- l.eaguemanager and now a Los Angeles coach, Reiser watched and talked, Howard listened and hit—until he reached the major leagues, There the next Babe Ruth, awkward anal overeager, swung like a Little Leaguer, "We just gave him bad pitches and changes of speed' and he was an easy out," recalled St. Louis pitching coach Howie Pellet. "But late last year, when playing regularly, he was damned im- pressive." For many players, two -season major-league totals of 38 home s'tuie 122 runs batted in, and a M CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING AGENTS WANTED EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITIES Applleatlons for representatives, to gall on Service Stations (enrolling member, sh1Ns with a service pertaining to all Phases of their bueiness, legal, insur- ance ale.) - are invited Prom all cities of Western Ontario.

This season, the Dodgers, who played him part- time and finished four games be- hind pennant -winning Cincinnati in 1981, are determined to play Howard regularly at first base or in right field. "It's up to him new,” said Reiser. "He could drive in 100 runs and hit 40 homers if he relaxed and learn- ed not to swing as soon as the pitcher lets the ball go. Some day a pitcher with a good move will throw the ball to first and Frank will swing at it." Howard is frustrated by his failure, "I don't know what peo- ple expect of me," he said softly, sitting in front of his locker. "0 never said I was Babe Ruth and I never thought it. I just want to play regularly. I know what this season means to me and the club. If a guy kicks himself in the backside every day, that's the most lie can do. And only I can do it for myself," Q.
