Y««r (Mfk Pattern of Living What's your role in your CfciNTi life pattern ? Do you think about it at all ? Or do you ju»t provide his physical needs Of food and clothing, forgetting your responsibilities of guiding your child into the proper channels for a useful and honorable existence, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society asks in a health talk. Most parents forget their childhood. They forget, too, that, instinctively, their own lives have been marked by parental influence. What is this influence ? It It a strong, potent force that yields its effect by gwxi example, day In and day out. A child who ia exposed to affection, happy companionship and a common joy of sharing family affairs, even the problems, will be more likely to project these characteristics into his own life pattern than one who is not. Because parents are inclined to fo:?ret their own youth, they fail to understand that adolescence is a difficult period, both emotionally and psychologically. Suddenly, it seems, the child ^as grown Up, at least in his own opinion; he manifests physical characteristics of the adult and his intelligence shapes into adult thinking. The youngster, with his natural process of development, fails to understand that he has not yet acquired wisdom, which is essential to being completely adult. And wisdom comes only with experience. Parents forget tMs. They want the child to learn from their experience, that is profit by their mistakes. Very often this is possible, but children also must learn through their own experiences. The average 'teen-ager wants to be free of what he calls parental restraint. The wise parent will not resent this new demand for freedom, but will, instead, subtly and skillfully guide the youngster. This can be accomplished if respect for the parent has been instilled in the child from its earliest years. What happens if the parents persist in undue restraint ? Either the child' • becomes ' defiant and WNKis no aflrlee at ill, or tic | becomes sullen and morose, hid-; ing all thoughts and actions! from his parents. Nagging and i undue physical force will not • !'remedy the situation. j The parent who remembers I that adolescent rebellion is a j natural sequence to growing up ' will weather this trying period by helping the child to adjust.. | The youngster should not be j given a free rein to live as he j nleases, but he should »be taught that society, in general, frowns on the thwarting of its conventions.. . Helping the child to adjust to his own life pattern can be aided too by friendly, conversational reasoning. A mutual confidence and trust will do more than all the "don'ts" and emphatic denials. It requires the utmoet in patience, tact and calm thinking to manage the adolescent child. The period of adolescence is one of the most difficult in development; it is arduous for the youngster because his natural, mental and physical growth instill a demand for freedom and independence; it is difficult for the parent who sees his dominance flaunted, and it is difficult for the community whose conventions are torn apart by adolescent arrogance. Let your child grow up, but helg him to do it wisely. With your understanding as a parent, he will, through his own experience, gain the wisdom he needs to take his place in society.

(Section 86c, Uniform Act Regulating Traffic.) This may seem like an extremely elementary thing to mention in this series of Tipa on Traffic Safety, but all too frequently the drivers of automobiles on through highways ! have their lives needlessly endangered by other drivers who fail to make the required stop. All traffic regulation signs and signals are for your protection. When you are driving along a through traffic artery, yon expect and depend upon cross traffic to grant you the right of way. It Is only reasonable that you grant the right of way when you are driving along the secondary road. Be especially careful at intersections where traffic is normally light Don't let yourself become so familiar with an intersection that you come to expect there will be no other traffic there. Those are the conditions where the unexpeoted usually happens. IARDEST teusncsT CHEAPEST WORKERS IN TOWN PLAIN DEALER WANT AD8 Centrd Garage FRED J.
