Director of The Christophers A lip For Parents Discipline - or the lack of it - plays a substantial role in determining whether a youngster becomes a delinquent or not. So says Dr. Gerald Davidson, a psychiatrist, who cites a study of urban children which demon­ strated that discipline had a greater influence on delinquency than the presence or absence of poverty... ,.n, a In .both riph aad poor neighborhoods, delinquency rates were seven times higher for youths with "lax discipline" in their homes than those with "strict discipline." he says. Dr. Davidson, who is president of me New ^England Society for Adolescent Psychiatry, claims that "youngsers need authority." A child's future happiness depends on his or her capacity to love, and love always involves discipline. 'Love is patient, kind ...love bears all things...endures all things '" (1 Cot. 13) Basic to this pattern of discipline is the will to bear discomfort. I was fascinated by an account recently made public about the legendary Russian dancer, Nijinsky, who was forced into retirement because of madness in 1917 at the peak of his career. In 1936. the famous psychoanalyst Alfred Adler wrote the following: "As a boy, Nijinsky ex­ pected that life would be filled with triumphs and free PRBST EKTRR LIGHT OLD STYLE OLD MILWAUKEE 12-12 OZ.

Sooner or later especially when con­ fronted by the problems of -- social life, of occupation, of love, such a person gains the impression that the en­ vironment is attacking him. Not comprehending the situation, he experienced this as a repeated insult, until finally his resistance was completely broken down." Here was a man who won worldwide acclaim and ' adulation. Apparently his extraordinary success was not enough to quiet his inner turmoil. Wise parents will not try to eliminate struggle and pain from their children's lives. When they grow up they will need to be grounded in the will to bear discomfort in order to survive. Charity endures all things Teach them to pray for the grace to hang in there when the chips are down. That's what love is all about. Teach them that, and you will have given them more than mountains of silver and gold. OOOOOOQOOBBOI Safety Hints >QOQQ Q OOQOQ O B By Secretary of State Jim Edgar This week I'm continuing the list of safe driving practices to help you through the winter season: ...Always keep a safe distance. You should **Nin<i crease the following distance between you and the vehicle ahead according to the condition of the pavement. Many rear end collisions occur on icy streets because drivers are following too closely. ...Watch for danger spots ahead. Bridges and shaded spots on the highway may be icy when the other portions of the pavement are dry. Also, be careful when ap­ proaching turns.' ...No one expects to be , stranded in blizzard con­ ditions. but an unexpected blizzard can become a reality. A good winter driving plan includes carrying a shovel, a heavy woolen blanket and a few candy bars, just in case your snow tires or chians can't take you through. If you are stranded, your chances for New bold, Cary, from the auto.

Bald Eagles Move Inland For Feeding The bald eagles that winter in Grant county, Wisconsin, have -moved inland to feed for the first time in 20 years and Terrence Ingram, executive director of Eagle Valley Environmentalists (EVE), is concerned. "I fear for the eagles' safety because they're feeding in . areas where they're not normally seen, places owned by people not actO&tiomed to having large birds of prey a$neighbors," Ingram said. Most of the 144 bald eagles sighted during EVE's annual Christmas Bird count were feeding in open fields located throughout the western half of Grant county; only three birds were spotted along the Mississippi river, the usual feeding area. This was the second highest number of bald eagles recorded in the county since EVE began participating in the National Audubon society's nation­ wide Christmas Bird count in the early 1960s (in 1963, there were 155 eagles sighted, most of these along the river).

Your car's engine should be run for just short time periods to give you enough heat for survival. Open the car's windows just a little, even if it is very ccld.
