Specifically, the group that was at the park was approached by Mrs. Crindall in an abusive, authoritative and nasty manner while they were preparing to' leave at the specified closing time. The lights- had been flickered at 9:50 p.m. and members of the group vtere picking up preparing to leave by 10 p.m. The caretaker approached women in the group almost immediately after the signal, and, in almost abusive way, told them that if they- - weren't out by 10 p.m., their cars would be locked in the park with a chain across the J road. The entire group felt that her manner and threat were unwarranted and decidedly uncouth. I had previously thought that the park was under supervision of the Rotary Club and was surprised to learn that the city is responsible for the area which was donated land is partially maintained by the service organization. Surely, Provo City should not have to employ people wh6 conduct themselves in a way that reflects on the city, the c tizens and the administration.

They all recognize the situation but; little is done about it. This year the weed crop is bigger and better than ever. Hun- dreds of people suffer from hay-fever caused by ragweed and sunflower but they grow undisturbed in countless places within ' Provo's city limits. Early this spring the city was mowing therweeds along the street butt they were stopped by a citizen who .said they were wasting the taxpayers' money and threatened them with an injunction if they continued. This ordinance was published in an editorial in the Herald in the past few years: .JIt shall be unlawful for any person owning, occupying or controlling any real property within thej corporate limits of Provo city, or the agent or j representat, tive of any such owner or to allow weeds or noxious vegetable growth to Remain in or on such real property, or in or on the alleys abutting thereon, or the sidewalk areas in the front thereof to the curb line .of the street for 48 hours after the re ceipt of notice from the commis- sioner of streets to remove lthe - .

If so, throwing it on the floor, may be the way he has chosen to emphasize his disinterest in it. When a child 'pays no attention to our wishes, we raise our voices to him, .don't we? We put more power into the expression of our wishes. This may be what your little boy is doing, If you have given him reason to believe that you won't register his disinterest in his food, he may have decided to put more power into his rejection of it. Where he may once have signaled the end of his ap petite by pushing! a dish away or trying to scramble away from the table, he now uses the stronger signal. So( before you punish him it would be fair to ask yourself, "Have I contributed to this unpleasant behavior? Is this de fiance the result of Old .Nick in or if my anxious inthis child sistence oi his eating more food than he wants td eat?" You see j if we are very anxious for a child to eat all the food we think he should eat, we do not notice his '"I've had enough" signals. We are too interested in doing our duty by him to register them. As his food has come to represent our responsibility for his nutrition, so it becomes to him the symbol of his resistance jto the mjotherli who insists on knowing more about his stomach ;! than he does. In throwing his! food on the floor, he is primarily telling us to mind our own business and leave his ., stomach's capacity to his judgment. If we don't perceive that we have somehow allowed eating to get mixed up with a power contest between the hild and us, he may continue to use "A President can plan and formulate and propose," he said, "but all too often it is Congress that disposes . Sooner or later,' every Presid;nt unhappily learns that lesson and I've! learned it sooner."
