RANDMA Quantities VALLEY MEW PATROLS -- Valley View el­ ementary school has chosen new patrol mem­ bers for the 1969-70 year. Teacher advisors are Michael Benjamin, a fifth grade teacher, and Richard Anderson, sixth grade teacher. Serving as captains are Niel Dalby and Fern Brody. This is the second year the patrol pro­ gram has been carried out at Valley View, and the first year was marked with success. Members are chosen by teachers for leader­ ship qualities. They's been a whole lot o emphasis put upon the subject o' "Sex," lately, which, t' my mind, has been able t' take care o' itself purty good, since the beginning' o' time. Seems t' me thet, with indications all around us, in nature, all the time, adults hev given it more importance, as a subject t' a- void, 'cause o' the way our society was set up, and maybe, their own guilty feelin's re- gardin' same. There's a certain modesty, in most o' us, which prevents us from a speakin' o' certain things, in company, which is as it should be. But, when one is responsible fer bringin' a fam­ ily t' the age o' where they hev t' encounter the outside world, that person, 'r persons should also be responsible t' explain enough t' those younguns in order t' keep 'em safe from harm. The idea o* sex education has Post Nuptial Shower For Mrs. Phalin A post-nuptial miscellaneous shower was given for Mrs. Al­ an Phalin, a recent bride, by Mrs. James Latham, Mrs. Rog­ er Schwebke and Mrs. Gladys Kerns at the Kerns home in Woodstock, with twenty-two in­ vited guests.

Pink Ladies' Recognition Set Today Recognition will be given the top volunteers among an army of seventy-five who regularly assist the staff at McHenry hospital. The program to pub­ licly thankthe Pink Ladies takes place at noon Wednesday with a luncheon at Crystal Lake. These trained volunteers are part of the organized volunteer service headed by Mrs. Ev­ erett Hansen and providing competent help in conjunction with plans eagerly worked out by Anthony Corcoran, admin­ istrator; Mrs. Josephine Pet­ erson, R.N., assistant admin­ istrator, nursing services; Dr. Edward Wilt, chief of the med- ^taff; and Mrs. Hansen. Hansen serves long, hours without pay to organize tf|e wo-" men among the half-duzen or more areas where they help regularly. The hospital leaders will be in attendance, including George Freund, board president. The volunteers work varying hours, ranging from an hour a week to many who spend 1--20 hours at the hospital. Mrs. Hansen has been direc­ tor of volunteer services for two years. She has two sons. Jack is a medical doctor in­ terning in Hawaii. Tom is in business with his father in Mc­ Henry. Mrs. Hansen says the volun­ teers are located mostly by peo­ ple talking about the service and by volunteers expressing their enthusiasm to other people. The hospital averages from 1,000 to 1,125 hours a month of volunteer service^ service which is urgent and which would be performed by additional em­ ployees except for the women's devotion. r rivals McHENRY HOSPITAL Mr. and Mrs. Francis Ko- zak are parents of a girl Oct. 12. SHOP IN McHENRY gone 'way out o' line. It ain't necessary t' leave it t' the schools t' assume the task which is the most important one a par­ ent can carry out. In bringin' the subject t' the open class­ room discussion, there's the danger o' embarrassment. This natural reaction can be des­ troyed wi' too much exposure, and many a youngster has learn­ ed not to feel self-conscious, destroying a natural modesty, when forced to* talk about things in front o' folks, other than the family. T my \vay o' thinkin', the parents should be the ones t' be taught about how t' explain things t' the offspring. There •ain't anyone, experienced enough, t' take the place o' a good relationship between par­ ent and child. When the parent undertakes his right, and priv­ ilege, t' explain the wonders o' nature, he is bound t' feel a closer bond wi' his child. Mid-victorian practices were wrong, we all agree, and it's high time that the right ap­ proach t' this important sub­ ject is the subject o* conver­ sation. Instead o' doin' the younguns good, the modern ap­ proach has done harm. It has destroyed the precious psycho­ logical feeling o* reverance for marriage, even, in many cases. The thing that bothers me is that youngsters are forced t' grow up too fast. They are con­ fronted wi' the adult version o' sex, before their minds'r ready t' accept it. Let the kids be kids, while the kid-days last. They are the shortest ones in a lifetime. Let them take the "Sex" subject by degrees, in the warmth and love of the fam­ ily circle.
