Tuna Spaghetti For Budget Meals Domestic Consequences of the American Revolution (By Daniel Scott Smith) Modern revolutions often have consequences unan­ ticipated by their instigators. The American Revolution is no exception. The leaders of the patriot cause in 1776 were political men with political grievances and a political goal-independence from the British Empire and the establishment of a republic. They did not intend to democratize relations between the sexes or between parents and children. By challenging first British authority and then in­ stitutionalizing the idea of the limitation of power as the solution to its abuses, the politicians of the Revolutionary era provided an example for similar revisions in other social relationships. By basing their struggle on abstract principles of liberty, the men of 1776 ac­ tivated an ideal not to be limited to constitutional issues. Hints of domestic con­ sequences were apparent a l m o s t i m m e d i a t e l y . Revolutionary legislatures a b o l i s h e d d i s c r i m i n a t i o n against younger children. Writing in March, 1776, to the future second president, Abigail Adams urged her husband to "Remember the Ladies" in the "New Code of Laws." Social revolution in the family was not, however, the goal of the new leadership. "I cannot but laugh," John Adams responded to his too eager spouse, "We have been told that our Struggle has loosened the bands of Government everywhere. That Children and Apprentices were disobedient, the schools and Colledges were grown turbulent-that Indians slighted their Guardians and Negroes grew insolent to their Masters. "But your Letter was the first Intimation that another Tribe more numerous and powerful than all the rest were grown discontented." Thomas Jefferson justified one of the relatively few social reforms of the era, the abolition of entailed estates, by arguing that the practice 'rendered youth independent of, and disobedient to their parents." Abstract in principle, the revolutionary ideals were narrowly defined in practice. Historians generally have concluded that the MLl P IN YOUR FAMILY OR PERSONAL CRISIS CALL: 385-6400 Editor's Note: This is the tenth in a series on UN­ DERSTANDING MENTAL HEALTH, presented as a public service bv the Family Service and Mental Health Clinic of McHenry County. Purpose is to help develop a much broader understanding on one of this nation's major health problems. Information is supplied with the cooperation of the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Today's presentation concerns Sedatives: Drugs That Soothe Can Also Kill. Sedatives are drugs which may reduce anxiety and ex­ citement. Taken in small does, they can temporarily ease tension and induce sleep. Sedatives also are used to treat such medical problems as high blood pressure and peptic ulcers. Barbiturates make up the largest group of sedatives. Although their medical use has long been established, there is much concern today about the overuse or abuse of these drugs. People have difficulty dealing with anxiety or who have trouble sleeping may become dependent upon sedatives and, in time, use them to excess. These drugs, formerly abused mainly by adults, are now also being used by teenagers and pre- teenagers. Sedatives are sometimes taken by heroin users either to supplement the heroin, or, if heroin is not available, to substitute for it. Persons who take stimulants sometimes use sedatives to offset the jittery feelings produced A person who has taken a large dose of sedatives may go into a coma. If he has been taking increasing amounts of the drug over a long period, he may stay awake but appear intoxicated. Speech and movement may be un­ coordinated, judgement and perception impaired. Accidental death may occur from an unintended larger or repeated dose of sedatives because of confusion caused by the initial intake of the drug. The withdrawal symptoms which occur when a heavy user of barbiturates suddenly stops taking the drug are equally dangerous. They may require hospitalization and intensive care. The patient is fearful, restless, and agitated. He may have convulsions severe enough to cause death. With­ drawal from barbiturates should be gradual and should be done under a doctor's supervision. Information about drug abuse is presented in the third edition of Questions and An­ swers About Drug Abuse, published by the National In­ stitute on Drug Abuse.

As March gave way to April, 1776, the troops under Benedict Arnold faced hard­ ships outside Quebec Mil­ itary stores were in short supply; hospital facilities were inadequate, as were medicines and hard cash. Merchants rejected the con­ tinental paper currency and many troops were down with small pox. But, morale was high and the siege was continued Revolutionary generation itself experienced relatively little egalitarian social change." But by the 1830's European visitors were noting ' that American fathers no longer acted like domineering patriarchs. The revolution had filtered down to the family. And the authors of the first declaration of women's rights, drafted in July, 1848, at Seneca Falls, New york, merely revised the famous antecedent of July, 1776. The American Revolution did not revolutionize the American family or society of its times and major social reforms did not occur until the underlying social and economic structure of the country had changed. But during the next two centuries the principles of 1776 shaped the desires and goals of disadvantaged groups seeking a larger place in American society. This social legacy of the Revolution is perhaps as significant as the political accomplishments of the revolutionaries.

PLYWOOD MINNESOTA'S Annual #TbeNow# Washbasket By Bobbie Hilt ^ I Youth On The Move I 0s" . . • • There has been a major breakthrough in the fabric industry that will provide consumers a man-made cloth­ ing material with "cotton comfort" and excellent laun- derability. Called Refresca, it is a new Spring Mills process that greatly improves the perfor­ mance of polyester. By nature, popular poly­ ester does not transport mois­ ture away from the body, is susceptible to oily stains and suffers from soil redeposition during washing that causes yellowing or greying. The new process is designed to reverse these shortcomings. It promotes evaporation for greatly improved wearer com­ fort, has improved soil release for the life of the fabric and eliminates permanent oil ab­ sorption. Snag resistance is improved and, wet or dry, there is no problem with dyes rubbing off. Laundry tests show that removal of stubborn stains is easily accomplished by adding one cup of a stain-fighting product like Borateem Plus to the recommended amount of your soap or detergent, with no color loss. our Glenwood line by 14%.
