PACE• • PLAINDEALER HERALD. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER IT, 1914 t Amish lead life of piety, hard work Price of newsprint rises By United Press International Amish children look like carbon copies of their parents - the girls dressed in long dresses and bon- nati and the hoys with suspenders and straw hats. They only attend school until eighth grade, learning the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic. Teachers are young Amish women with only eighth grade educations, a concession in teacher standards granted by the State of Illinois. The Amish fear any higher education would expose their young people to the temptations of the outside world. "The more you mingle with the outside world the more tempted you would be to leave," said Charles Womack, an instructor at Lakeland Community College in Mattoon who has studied the Amish under Price's guidance. About half of the Illinois Amish attend parochial schools and the other naif public schools, ac­ cording to Womack. The young people court in their buggies, and stories abound of Saturday nights in Arthur when they "kick up their heels." "They (the parents) give 'em a little bit of freedom and then they 8ull them back into line," Womack said. The Schrocks' daughter, Ruth Ann, who lives on the family farm with her husband and infant son in an adjoining house, said young people play volleyball in the sum­ mer and they ice skate in the winter for recreation. As a family, the Schrocks visit relatives*and friends during their free time. But the majority of their life is spent working hard. "We don't have as much time for recreation as some people do," Schrock said. In the evenings, they read, write letters or sew. The Schrocks subscribe to a variety of farm magazines, the Reader's Digest and the Arthur Graphic-Clarion. They also go to bed early and awaken by 4 or 5 o'clock every morning. The Schrock home is a curious mix of old and new. The kitchen has new cabinets and a modern refrigerator powered by propane. Light is provided by kerosene lamps and sewing is done on a treadle machine. Books on a shelf in the living room include Bibles, other religious materials, reference books and dictionaries. The wall separating the living room and master bedroom can be moved to make room for'their neighbors when they attend religious services. The Amish hold services every other Sunday in private homes. Families in a congregatidn take turns holding them. Schrock is an Amish preacher, a holds for life. He special training for position he received no the job. The services are conducted in and the hymns are sung in Ger­ man. The Amish children speak German until they learn English in school. The Amish try to be self- sufficient but they drive their horse and buggies into nearby Ar­ thur or Chesterville to buy staples like sugar, coffee and flour. Ar­ thur, the center of the Illinois Amish community, provides hit­ ching sheds for its visitors. The Amish believe strongly in helping family members and neighbors and they reject the idea of insurance or government assistance. "I feel sorry for the person who gives only because he has to and misses the joy of giving," Schrock said. THE BAKEREE 314 W.

PRICK The family remains at the heart of the society and divorce is not considered. The husband and father is the unquestioned head of the household. "They have a great feeling of love towards God, a great feeling "Of love for their fellow man. The Amish are doing a great job of holding the family together," Price said. While the Amish try to stay separate from the modern world, changes are slowly taking place, Price said. "They really are in a struggle to preserve their way of life," he said. By United Press International NEW YORK - The price of newsprint could soon hit $570 per ton -- up 14 percent from the $900 per metric ton price common in the first half of 198-1 - if Canada's biggest producer has its way. But newspaper publishers in the United States are saying the an- ndunced plan of Abitibi-Price Inc. to raise its price $35 per ton Jan. 1 is too much too soon, and some doubt whether the industry's giant can make the increase stick. To date, only Reed Inc., a smaller Candian firm, has an- nouced plans to match the Abitibi- Price boost. With as much as one third of a newspaper's operating costs going for the big newsprint rolls, publishers were quick to voice complaints about the prospect of another hike so soon after a July l increase, also $35 per ton. The Canadian newsprint in­ dustry and the U.S. newspaper publishing industry go hand in glove, simply because Canada is the world's largest newsprint pro­ ducer and the United States is the world's largest newsprint con­ sumer. ton 22nd Anniversary Sale!! 30-50% SAVINGS WED., OCT. 17 THRU SAT., OCT. 27 SAVE ON THE FOLLOWING: ' •SELECT FALL DRESSES • SKIRTS • BLOUSES •COORDINATES & CASUAL WEAR • JACKETS •ACCESSORIES •L0N00NF0GALLWEATHERC0ATS • SLACKS •LINGERIE a±(iLon 3720 W.
