She was beautiful', her two small children were exquisite, her middle-class home was warm and at­ tractive. Shd had a fine husband and good parents but she was not happy. "I can't stand being home with the children. I'm always trying to find a way out." Actually she was a good mother. She had many skills and talents for homemaking and cb41dtaiuriii0Mt&Mre was something <wxongv ^he was expressing the same "pain and confusion that millions of mothers experience during the dying process. It is not a physical dying she was ex­ periencing but a kind of ex­ cruciating death to self. "Love in dreams is easy," wrote Dostoyevski, "love in reality is a harsh and dreadful thing." In your dreams you may have thought indeed that love was soft and easy. Even children's fairy tales end with "and they lived happily ever after" as if feelings of love for the "right" person were all that was needed for happiness. Soon enough, the illusion is shattered when one enters the reality of daily life. You come to see that the cute, adorable children cif your dreams are demanding creatures who require constant attention and care and certainly infringe upon your own freedom, your own plans, your own needs, and at times cause you to feel angry and rebellious. How can you cope with these feelings? How can you cope with the guilt they generate? You want to be a good mother, you love your children and yet something in you is raging, struggling to be free. You come to see that real love is a harsh and dreadful thing; that it brings pain, that it calls for sacrifice, restraint, a losing of one's own life. Without strong motivations, such a life becomes dreary, empty, a burden impossible to lift. But there is flways hope, there is always grace. "If you lose your life, you will gain it," said the Lord: a statement which appears in­ comprehensible to some, yet it is the only remedy for the condition of angry rebellion. What is required, is a readiness to abandon your own ideas of self-fulfillment for the . sake of these human beings ^entrusted to your care, not in a slavish way but freely and for the sake of love. You need the help of God ; it may be distasteful to you to acknowledge dependency upon God but this is the key to sur­ vival. You need His help to relate your .life to His power, to trust Him, to ask Him to strengthen and enlighten you. Things will not suddenly become easy, the children will not stop crying or demanding your attention. But your per­ spective will begin to change. You will see that your present work is not merely a necessary burden but a great and won­ derful good, a divine vocation. / To give a chromium tea­ kettle a quick and easy s h i n e , g o o v e r i t w i t h a p i e c e o f w a x p a p e r when the kettle is 1 Usually there is nothing less exciting to read than a report on educational statistics. In fact, if there were some way we could get education reports into capsule form we would have a safe and effective sleeping pill. • But such reports, however dull, cap tell us interesting thitfgs if we know how to look at them. Take a recent report called "The Condition of Education: 1979 Edition " This is the annual report of the National Center for ^Educational Statistics. Phi Delta Kappan magazine recently reviewed it. Consider some of its intriguing and sometimes puzzling findings: First,, public confidence in the people who run the nation's education system has fallen to its lowest point in six years. Only 28 percent have "a great deal of confidence" in educational leaders and 15 percent have "hardly any confidence." While the report doesn't say it, it seems clear that iparents and taxpayers aren't convinced that a decade or more of federal government aid to education has helped Johnny to , learn. Maybe it is only a coincidence that the decade when federal aid and regulations were increasing in education, public confidence was declining, but I think there is a connection and that the government should step back and examine where it has been and where it intends to go in education. ! Speaking of government aid to education, the Center's study found that 51 percent of the public believed in 1978 that too little is spent on education and health and too much on welfare and national defense. j Yet the same study shows that current expenditures of public school systems have more than tripled since 1957, even taking inflation into ac­ count. And, since 1942, state and federal shares of public school costs have been in­ creasing while the local share has decreased by almost 20 percent. Why is it that a majority of the public thinks we are not spending enough on education j and too mueh on defense when preciseljll the? opposite is the case? Wl^^|>ve have tripled education expenditures our defense spending, in terms of Constant dollars, has actually •declined in recent years. I think ^part of the reason is that we 'have been bombarded by a n barrage of anti-defense that the nation's education leaders prefer to blame their own failures on the old "you're- not-giving-us-enough-money" excuse. Finally, "The Condiiton of Education" reports a curious finding, the significance of which is not immediately clear. It seems that college graduates earn at least 30 percent more than high school graduates. That part is not puzzling, but according to the same report, 10 years ago college graduates earned 50 percent more than high school graduates. v In other words, during a decade when young people have been told of the financial benefits of a college degree the real financial rewards of a degree have dramatically decreased. Could this possibly be a reflection of a negative national attitude toward formal learning? Or is it a reflection of a positive national attitude rewarding blue-collar work? I don't know. But I do know the fact that the drop in the general level of educational per­ formance coincides with the intrusion Of the federal government into the field keeps coming back to haunt me. One of the seminars or adult educatiorf classes at McHenry County college this fall focuses on law and . finance for the consumer. For a general overview there is a five-week class in financial planning which will teach how to become financially in­ dependent in 10,years or less. The problems of taxes, in­ flation,. social security and consumer legal rights are in­ cluded in the course. It also covers life insurance, estate planning, retirement pensions, stock markets and real estate. There is also a 10-week course in law for everyday living which covers topics such as divorce, debtors and creditors, contracts, com­ mercial papers, criminal law, real property, sales and wills. Seminars which will help With legal and financial mat­ ters include "legalities of divorce," "basic estate and financial planning" and "twenty-two ways to fight inflation." The legalities of divorce seminar is held in two evening sessions and is a factual ap­ proach to the legal rights and responsibilities of marriage. The seminar emphasizes custody, child support, property settlement and courtroom proceedings. Basic estate and financial planning meets all day on a Saturday and for two evening sessions and will be taught by estate planners who belong to the Estate Planning Council of McHenry County. The seminar covers basic knowledge in areas such as proper will planning, property ownership, coordination of assets, needs and uses of life insurance, definitiohs, trust planning, bank accounts and related transactions. The instructors will include a bank trust of­ ficer, two attorneys, an in­ surance agent', two life un­ derwriters and a certified public accountant. Twehty-two ways to fight inflation is a seminar designed to help you learn better money management. Included in the two evening sessions are in­ surance, coupons, credit cards, bond and treasury rate cer­ tificates, shopping for credit and taking your own financial pulse.

THOUGHT FOR FOOD By GOULD CSTOOK SPRING GROVE FIRE DEPARTMENT S Don't Be Wasteful The article most frequently wasted is bread, every crumb of which should be saved. It can be converted into toast or placed in the oven to dry. When dry it can be greated coarsely and put in jars for puddings, stuffings, or thickening for meat gravies. Other pieces not large enough for toast can be converted into griddle cakes. Don't forget bread pudding! If you're tired of the economical bread pudding with lemon sauce, try the same in costard cups with raisins for fruit. Butter the cups, fill, and then bake them, standing in a pan of hot water. Cover each one with a teaspoon of bright-colored ielly and it will no longer be a simple bread pudding, but a rich new dish, to be eaten with cream. ANNUAL FALL DANCE Saturday, October 6th at 8 P.M.
