Grandma Scz • • • m Th' ol' rockin' chair's got this granny again f'r a spell. Thinkin' o' all th' young folk com in' out o' school, needin' occupation t' keep 'em out o' mischief, me mind goes back t' a time when th' summer season wuz a welcome time f'r parents. There's a shortage o' th' jobs these days that teach younguns th' fundementals o' livin', keepin' a home, helpin' neighbors, an' keepin' th' community in proud condition. O'er th' past couple o' generations 'r so, th' fashion was t' pervide fun f'r th' youngsters, an' it seems t' this granny, that "mom" handled all th' chores 'r else they remained neglected. No matter what th' reason may be f'r wantin' th' young folks t' do a task, th' most important one is t' teach 'em how t' do it right. Seems that too many parents neglect t' take th' time an' th' offspring 're too willin't' hear th' phrase releasin' 'em from duty, "Oh let me do it, I can do it faster." No more welcome works e'er fall on th' ears o' th' young. Most children 're naturally lazy until somethin' comes along that falls into their partic'lar category o' int'rest. When encouragement in that direction is abetted wi' leniency on th' part o' parents, th' tendency grows an' it ain't long afore th' more mature years catch up wi'out th' trainin' t' cope. Hence we find so many young folks wi'out a goal 'r th' desire t' find one. There's only one time t' begin t' train a little one an' that's th' first day th' parents have 'em at home. There isn't much time at best t' start 'em on th' right track toward a rewardin' life o' their own later on. One reason we can't find responsib;e craftsmen these days is 'cause th' fathers hain' had time t' teach th' sons 'r didn't take it wi' patience an' tolerance an' th' idee o' givin' th' gift o' know-how t' posterity. Women used t' teach daughters how t' be good mothers an' homemakers. They taught 'em how t' sew an' cook. Now-a-days they teach 'em how t' shop f'r th' readymade food, clothin', an' most ever'thin' available. There hain't no comparison in me own mind t' a good home, good homecooked food, an' th' trainin' that goes along wi' it.

RIVER RD., McHENRY (815) 385-2671 There's An Answer (by Norman Vincent Peale and Ruth Stafford Peale) BIRTHS At The End Of His Rope Q. My daughter at college called us to say she is pregpaht. She was living with a man wtosald he loved her but is now no longer interested. Two days ago^my 17-year-old son was arrested for selling drugs to an undercover officer. My wife does nothing but cry all day, and I'm afraid she may start drinking again. I feel that God has abandoned us. Why else would this happen to us? I'm at the end of my rope and don't know what to do. A. The reason all this happened is that, seemingly, your daughter has no morals; neither has your son. Why haven't they? God certainly doesn't want it that way. If you develop a stronger faith in God you will get insights into methods by which you can rescue your son and daughter from the mess they have made of their lives. ' V- Instead of your wife crying all day, she ought to start thinking it is possible to think and pray one's way out of any difficulty, including yqur own. ~ •, * In the hope that it will help you think and pray your way to a better life, we are placing your family on our mailing list to receive Creative Help for Daily Living, a monthly mailing of inspirational literature that goes to more than 500,000 people in 120 countries.

My family doesn't know about him. The reason I have kept it secret is because he is black and I am white. We have lots of things in common and love each other very much. This is truly the man I want Is there anything wrong with our loving each other? I've been divorced for nine years and have two lovely daughters. Do you think our getting married would hurt them? A. Your question, as we understand it, is; Would such a marriage hurt your parents and your daughters? Naturally, we cannot know your parents' attitude nor that of your daughters. Perhaps you could ascertain their reaction by asking your parents to entertain your friend as a house guest for perhaps a week. You would need to be there also. This would help determine whether the man fits into the family climate. The same advice would be given were the man of your own race. Wants Her Own Home Before my husband died we gave our son 3 acresomd kept one, and we built him a house next door. Now he says he hates the place and is going to move, and I should go also. He says for me to sell and get out. I have been living alone fifteen years now and want to stay here. I cannot understand this. A. Let your son go. You have a right to live where you wish, and if he doesn't like it, that does not need to affect your life plan. Be independent, keep a loving attitude, don't argue. He, too, has a right to live where he desires, and when he moves away perhaps you will get a good neighbor in his (dace. And then, maybe it is all talk, anyway.
