SENTINEL PHOTO Urge Improvement Of Mail Boxes This Week SCHOOL DAYS We Americans are great ones for buying patent medicines, muscle-building breakfast foods, and success books. We're always looking for the quick way, even in education. If there were a nice pink pill that would make Johnny and Mary do well in school, how gladly parents would pay for it. But there isn't. It's a long road and it starts early in the lives of your children. HOW CHILDREN CAN DO WELL AT SCHOOL Your children will do well at school if they have a satisfying idea in their own mind of why they are going there. Discuss the purposes and aims of education with them, both in general and with particular reference to their own careers. Let your children share in the plans for their education. Your children will do well in school if you keep up with the problems of modern education and do your best to*cooperate in straightening them out. Join your school parent organization. Your children will do well at school if they have appreciative attitudes toward their teachers. If you encourage your children to love and respect their teachers, you will find that the teachers will teach better and that the children will, therefore, learn more. Your children will do well at school if they have a reasonable confidence in'* their own abilities. Build up your child's self-esteem by showing your appreciation of all his achievements. Avoid fussy questioning and anxiety. Don't greet your child immediately on his return from school with "Well, how did you do today?*' That shows you're worrying. The worried-over child always gives you more and more to worry over. The believed-in child always gives you more and more to believe in. Your children will do well at school if they are healthy and able to attend regularly. That doesn't mean that you should fret over their diet, their sleep, or their clothes. Do what is required, but do it casually. Take your child's health for granted and sustain it by your faith. Keep your health thoughts positive, and your child won't have too many absences marked on his report card. Your children will do well at school if they read with suf­ ficient speed and com­ prehension for their grade. Yes, your children will do well at school, if --. If what? If you do well as parents. If, however, your child is not progressing in school in the way you think he should, a smart first move is to ask: "Why?" WHEN A CHILD CAN FAIL A first cause of poor achievement in school may be that your child really does not have the ability you think he has. He may appear bright in speech and manner and yet lack the intellectual equipment for handling his studies. He may have given up trying because deep within himself he knows he cannot succeed. Still another cause of a A traditional observance which contributes to the ap­ pearance of McHenry postal area streets and roads-- "Mailbox Improvement Week"--is being held May 21- 26, according to Postmaster Leroy Smith. "Mailbox Improvement week has long served as the starting signal for special community efforts to repair, repaint and make other improvements in the security and appearance of rural and ̂ suburban curbline type boxes in the McHenry area", Postmaster Smith said. "Because more Americans receive their mail today on rural routes than ever before," Postmaster Smith added, "Mailbox Improvement week is even more important now than when first observed generations ago in rural areas and small communities". Almost forty-three million individuals are served today by about 31,000 rural carriers. During the last two years, more than 500 rural delivery routes have been established nation-wide. They include child's failure might be worry or anxiety over something entirely unrelated to school. Problems in his home life might so absorb his attention that he has little left to con­ centrate on his studies. He can't master reading or anything else with half his mind worrying over whether his parents are going to break up or not. To sum it up: Understand your child. Don't blame him for not trying harder; look for the reason. It may help you to find the reason if you will look at the problem from the point of view of the teacher. service to persons living a quarter mile or more away from post offices which do not have city delivery services. The former requirement for rural delivery was at least half- a-mile distance from a post offirp Observance of "Mailbox Improvement Week" has taken on an added importance in recent years with the expansion of curbline suburban box delivery service by motorized city delivery carriers. An estimated twenty-eight million individuals receive their mail in curbline boxes serviced by city carriers, an estimated 8 percent increase since 1970. Today's rural or curbline mailbox has come a long way since the improvised recep­ tacles...such as old tin cans nailed to trees...found when rural service began in 1896. Postmaster Smith has available lists of manufac­ turers of approved designs for optional use by customers who want something other than traditional mailbox designs. He is also authorized to approve custom made mail boxes when they comply with postal regulations. Unfinished A man had been talking for hours about^ himself and his achievements.

Beck, District Director of the Internal Revenue Service, has issued further information with regard to the previously reported 2.5 million dollars of Economic Stabilization program violations which were cited by the Internal Revenue Service with regard to Chicago area hospitals. In fairness to the hospitals involved, Mr. Beck felt it appropriate to in­ dicate that each of the hospitals involved openly and voluntarily cooperated with the examining agents and expressed their own earnest desires to restore any dollars improperly collected. Mr. Beck pointed out that these violations have, without ex­ ception, been the result of honest error and in no case have they been the result of willful bad faith. In some cases, it was the hospital's own action which initiated the Internal Revenue Service examination. One hospital, for example, telephoned the Internal Revenue Service and asked that the Internal Revenue Service conduct an examination because the hospital felt that it may inadvertently have collected excess dollars. Beck wished to clarify that specific refunds to individual patients were not found to be applicable in all cases. In those cases where specific refi^d payments were deemed necessary, they have now been fully and completely made. Beck acknowledged that a very high percentage of all of the hospitals which have been selected for compliance examinations have, in fact, been found to be in violation. These violations, however, have been the result of the hospitals' inability to adequately forecast the effect of cost reimbursement increases from intermediaries Medicare, Medicaid and Blue Cross. Such increases have been held by the Internal Revenue Service to constitute price increases for Economic Stabiliza..on pur­ poses. It is primarily this factor which has resulted in the cited violations. Engineers in 1872 built a solar still in Chile, which produced 6,000 gallons of fresh water daily, from the Pacific.
