PG.,4, SEC. 2 - PIAINDEALER - MAY (I, 1967 4- 4-N Program Expands McHenry residents, becoming more urban - conscious with steady growth, is probably less aware than other county communities of the important role played by 4-H. Enrollment within the county has reached a record high this year, with 560 agricultural members and 669 home economics members. A Huntley club boasts the greatest agriculture membership with fifty-six. Some folks continue to be surprised upon learning that 4-H, contrary to popular belief, is only for youth from rural areas. Although local membership is not as high as in other parts of the county, nearly 600 4-H members are from city or urban areas. 4-H has proved itself over a long period of years to be a fast moving organization of eager youth willing to carry out the general aim, "Learn by doing". The program is guided by the Cooperative Extension Service, 4-H leaders, a 4-H committee and 4-H Federation officers. The youth with time on his (or her) hands, or <jjissatisfied with aimless occupations would do well to investigate a rewarding prqgram. , • Sharing Suumm mer Pleasure How many of you wvooUulldd be willing to share the pleasure of surtlmer living in the country with a child from the city? • This is the question asked these days by supporters of "Friendly Town", a program of the Community Renewal society (formerly the Chicago City Missionary society) which brings youngsters from Chicago's Inner City to live for two weeks with host families in the county. The aim of the program is to let families here become acquainted with someone who, by accident of birth, may seem a distant "neighbor". Children come from churches of many faiths, synagogues and diverse nationality and racial groups. They vary in age from 6 to 11 years and will visit where they are welcome for periods starting July 15 and ending Aug. 19. Families may entertain one, two or three children during each period. The deadline date to apply is June 15. Prospective host families have asked the rish. The society says it is one in 1,000th for a "perfect" child and the same for an "impossible" child. Interested persons in this area may contact Mrs. Frank Templin or Mrs. Elva Samuel son, the latter at 385-4624, for applications and brochures. McCLORY REPORTS From Washington Politically inspired efforts to raise social security bgfiefits have placed the entire social security program in jeopardy. These threats coupled with the Administration's astounding suggestion to tax social security benefits emphasizes the need for an objective analysis of the system. When originally introduced some thirty years ago, social security was touted as an "insurance" program, ft was claimed that the employee and employer contributions would always be sufficient to discharge the beneficiary payments. In other words, it was considered that the social security fund would remain "actually sound." Even as recently as 1964 - when the Congress established Medicare, the funds tor the new program were kept separate deliberately in order to maintain the intergrity and solvency of social security. The efforts of organized senior citizens' groups, coupled with the stark reality of inflation, have brought about competing proposals to expand and increase social security benefits. Republican-inspired measures include (a) an automatic cost-of-living increase and Ob) an 8-percent across-the-board raise. Neither of these measures contemplates an increase in social security taxes. The Democratic recommendation is for an average 20-percent raise in benefits -- and a consequent boost in payroll taxes. it should be pointed out that present social security taxes total almost 9 percent on earnings up to $6,600 and these rates will increase to 11 percent by 1973 -- even on the basis of present benefits. Both of the pending proposals appear to ditch the principle of "insurance" -- in favor of a program of "welfare." If this v- •• : - • u:j# - - r trend continues, social security costs could skyrocket. In some European welfare states, combined payroll taxes to defray the cost of benefits of their programs have reached 50- percent -- as, for example, in Italy. The Administration proposal to "tax" social security benefits fails to take into account that such income of the beneficiary has, for the most part, already been taxed, ft is true that an elderly person who has no income other than his social security payments would be exempt. Still, a senior citizen who has been sufficiently industrious or frugal to salt away funds from which he or she derives additional income -- should not be discriminated against on that account. t Accured liabilities of the social security system are estimated at more than $ 1 trillion. As these liabilities increase -- without corresponding contributions -- the welfare of our younger citizens is jeopardized. These young people either through increased tax rates -- or an inflated currency -- will have to pay for the added benefits which today's senior citizens may receive -- but toward which they will have made no financial contributions. & Q. ARMY is for the many, many th Wot ty, imc Nora is not the guilty person in the crimes mentioned below. Yet her parents are college graduates with high I.Q. For many college graduates nowadays deserve only a "D" mark in Child Psychology. So pass this case along where it can do the most good. And send for the "Rating Scales for Good Parents." By - George W. Crane, Ph, D., M.D. CASE C-543: Nora T., aged 5, merits attention. "Dr. Crane," her grandmother began, "I think modern parents need to be trained in child psychology. "For example, Nora's mother will give her a large, ripe apple. "Nora may take only a bite or two, yet her mother then throws away the rest of the apple.. "And when we had chicken dinner, Nora demanded a large piece that contained both drumstick and thigh. • "Yet tiie child didn't take but a small portion, leaving all the rest of that delicious meat which her mother threw out. "So will you please alert this new generation of parents to a few basic rules concerning child training?" PARENTS, WAKE UP Nora's grandmother deserves a salute for her sensible criticisms. to the first place, young children can't bite into a whole apple very well. So break the apple into halves or even quarter it. Then give the youngster just one piece. If it is hungry for more, then add a second helping. And you young mothers should likewise be ashamed to waste good American food when millions of toddlers are starving elsewhere around this planet Earth. If you insist on giving a child an adult portion of meat (which you know it will not devour) then you should consume the balance as part of your own quota! "Oh, but I would never eat anything that my child had messed up!" exclaim some fastidious mothers. Well, don't let your child "mess up" its food! Parents are supposed to train prentice themselves to the animal trainers of the circus. For a basic law of animal (and child) psychology is this: "Always reward the good but also always penalize the bad. And permit no exceptions to occur!" Furthermore, if your child is naughty, punish him then and there. Don't defer correction "till daddy comes home tonight." First of all, that imposes an unfair burden on daddy! Foe whichever' parent sees the child commit an error, should then remedy the matter pronto. Besides, children have little time sense! If a dog or cat makes a mistake and you defer correction till five hours later, the animal fails to link the correction with the proper situation. And so it goes for toddlers. • . Link Jbe penalty with the crime At ONCE, so the child will make the proper association. Otherwise, the penalty at night for an error at noon, then becomes linked with daddy and not with the earlier naughty deed! So send for the 200-point "Tests for Good Parents," enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 20 cents. Use them at PT A and Sunday School classes for adults. For no better Bible project can be suggested than improving your brand of parenthood! Many college graduates nowadays act like nitwits as regards training their own youngsters ! You'<j have flunked my courses in Child Psychology at Northwestern university and I'm not joking!
