JPage Sixteen TH^ MCHENRY PLAINDEALER UNDER 21 A column for teen-agers By Dan Halligan ^\, DEAR DAN: Wifhout a doubt I've got two of the most ftronderful parents in the world. The only thing th$t troubles ||e is their lack of interest in my school work. I always make better than average grades, all of it through hard work and Studying, but my efforts go unnoticed "at home. Mom and Dad never attend school meetings or parent-teacher conferences. Also, they always say they're too busy to serve Chaperones at our canteen when it's their turn. Outside of their lack of interest, they're wonderful and We get along better than any other family in town. What I want to know is *liow can I get them more interested in what they should be interested in- -- Understanding Needed. DEAR UNDERSTANDING NEEDED: Your mother and father, may be wonderful but they are neglecting some of their basic duties and just as important, they're, missing out on some events that will only occur once in their lifetimes for them. Perhaps you've never told your parents exactly how you feel. If you haven't talked this over, the beginning of this new year is about as good a time as any. to get this settled. If thpy're as wonderful as you say, that also means they're understanding. Good' luck. DEAR DAN: I'm only 14. still too young to date but not too young to baby-sit and that's what I do at least two evenings a week. I realize I should watch my two younger brothers in the evenings when my parents ask me to but how about other kids? My mother and father go out quite a lot with this other man and wife and they alwayS bring their son and daughter to our house to stay because we've got a big rumpus room in the basement. I haven't said anything to my parents but I'm getting pretty disgusted. My brothers mind me all right but the other two kids drive me to the brink of screaming at them. I don't really mind that but I" do mind doing all this sitting for the mother and father for nothing. What do you think about this? -- Florence. Lilymoor ERECT SHELTER FOR CHILDREN AWAITING BUS Shirley Schuerr EV. 5-2645 One of the three shelters needed for tthe school children of Lilymoor is now up.

DEAR FLORENCE: I hate to put a commercial tag on friendship but as long as the baby-sitting is an every-week occurance, then I think the parents should be expected to pay you. Perhaps they shouldn't pay you the standard rate in your city but they should at least offer something. After all, if you weren't available, they'd have to get a baby-sitter. You can't bring up this subject but the parents should eventually realize you shouldn't be made the patsy each and every week. DEAR DAN: I'm a 19-year-old high school graduate and just changed jobs last week. I've been paying $20 a week at home for room and board but now just because my wages have gone up nearly $15 a week over my former job, my father thinks I should pay an extra $5 a week. I don't see that and we've argued about it. Now we're goipg to let you decide. -- D. E.t DEAR D. E.: The basic point to consider is whether or not your family needs the extra $5 a week. If the $5 or more will help out your parents, then you don't have an argument. On the other hand, $20 a week room and board is a fair figure for both parties. You're not paying too much, considering you get tfteals and laundry, and your parents aren't getting too much. If the money is actually needed, then that is that. THE MAIL BAG-- Wondering: It's too bad your banquet is on Friday but you know your religion and it prohibits eating of meat on Fridays. POISON CASES AMONG CHILDREN INCREASE IN STATE . The Illinois Department of Public Health reports that accidental poisoning cases among Children are increasing alarm- Jiigly in the state; many of the Basoning cases in the very foUng age group are the reffjllt of aspirin or aspirin products. r;t>r. Peter Griesbach stated f||£t his experience as director ofi the Poison Control Center ST McHenry Hospital bears out the above findings. He said that the majority off' accidental poisoning cases brought into the emergency room at McHenry Hospital have been very young chilseveral of whom took as Ittany as twenty to twenty-five aspirin tablets. Dr. Greisbach noted that six to twelve tablets can be dangerous and cause coma and dehydration. Several young children drank furniture polish that had been stored in soft drink bottles. One young patient ate all the brightly colored pills prescribed for his mother. While emergency treatments have thus far saved the lives of the young patients, Dr. Griesbach emphatically stated that it is up to parents to store drugs as well as potentially toxic products out of children's reach in order to prevent accidental poisoning cases that might prove fatal. <S OFFER COLLEGE COURSES The Barrington consolidated high school will offer college credit courses next semester in speech, English and industrial psychology.
