Ignorance of the law is no excuse and no defense against prosecution and Conviction. jt • Shoplifting is stealing and stealing is a criminal act. Steal- Atg a $2 pen is the same as stealing $2 from a cash register or from someone's pocket It's a crime. ? Some teenagers seem to think that stores'make a lot of money and won't miss a book, or a record, or a blouse or a Belt. v . v But the fact is that stores are losing more to shoplifting each year. They are losing merchandise that belongs to the store. It has been bought and paid for by the store and taking it is stealing. If something that belonged to you were stolen, it would be & great loss....so it is with a store. jr Because of this growing problem stores are getting tough with shoplifters and are taking measures to catch them in the act. Stores are no longer letting teen-age shoplifters off with a lecture and a warning. They are turning them over to the authorities. Store managements are becoming convinced that the proper way to deal with young shoplifters and their parents is through the police and the courts. 1 Those "kicks" can come back and haunt you forever. A minor record easily becomes a major problem. Most job applications ask "Were you ever arrested?" and most employers don't hire people with arrest or criminal records. A job that requires bonding, even that of a stock boy, will probably be closed to the youth with a record. He may also be turned down for government, state, city or county jobs. With a police record it can be difficult, in some cases impossible, to go into any business or profession where a special license is required, such as law, real estate, or insurance. A criminal record can keep you out of the college or professional school of your choice. A stolen carton of candy kept (me boy out of West Point-- and a girl was denied entry to law school because of a stolen swimsuit. •'1" ki•<, ;Qf..*ia. -^'s.*1v0* >:'• *• ":«' £&'jj": 0 fllC Eating Out Versus In Food distributors estimate that within five years Americans will spend as much money for food "eating out" as they spend in grocery stores. If the trend toward eating away from home develops as expected food merchandizing and advertising should be vastly changed in a short time. Operators of grocery stores and cafes will have to take an entirely new view of selling methods. Thus far, only a few great national chains have recognized the enormity of the trend away from home cooking. Even they have not advertised effectively. It has not been necessary because the great demand has kept business booming with minimum promotion. | In most cases the advertising of neither grocery stores nor the cafes have changed to meet changing conditions. The syndicated eating places still depend largely on roadside signs ibf advertising. The grocery stores still depend largely on straight pi^ice advertising. Most locally owned restaurants are simply passing up the new demand by, doing no advertising at all. -However, the competitive situation will eventually force a drastic change in advertising methods. More and more people who.wish to eat out .will select their choice of a restaurant as they select clothing and groceries--from a leisurely study lof newspaper advertising. In the meantime, grocery stores will find it necessary to resell families on the pleasures, convenience and savings of eating at home. Wallace Johnson is not only a great financial wizard but is a consummate Applied Psychologist. For he outlines the very rules of church psychology which magicians and hypnotists have long been using. Note how the deaf engage in prayer at the Chicago Temple, where I teach a Bible Class! By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE H - 542: Wallace E. Johnson received the Horatio Alger award last Spring. For he is a phenomenal example of a poor boy who rose to fame and fortune in this modern age of confiscatory taxes and governmental regimentation. He heads the Holiday bins! Anybody who can thus reach the top in business, industry or the professions in this decade, actually merits gnore praise than the leaders of 50 years ago. ^ jj "Dr. Crane," Mr. Johnson^' began, "I am an active Baptist and have been reared in the church. "I owe my success largely to my Christian parents and my Christian conversion as a lad. "But I have some very definite ideas that I think would benefit the churches of .the future. "For example, when the clergyman asks the congregation to open their Bibles and read along with him, this very fact breaks the previous polarization of their gaze on the speaker. "So I feel we should install a large screen in front of the church, on which the Bible verses can then be projected so everybody can focus on the very same spot. "Along with this idea, I also feel it would be an aid if we were not asked to open our individual song books, but could all focus (HI the stanzas of the hymn, as projected on that same large screen down front. "For isn't it a rule of public platform psychology, that the speaker should dominate the eyes of his audience at all times?" PLATFORM PSYCHOLOGY Wallace Johnson is certainly CHOW TIME ...

For Your Information Dear Friends, Most cemetary regulations now require the use of a burial vault, which serves not only to protect the casket and mortal remalms, but to facilitate the perpetual care in cernotary maintenance. The selection of a burial vault Os mmaiiy made with the casket selection and likewise, a wide selection in various cost ranees is available. Respectfully, ^5 PETOM.JUSTEN ft SON FUNERAH HOME McHenry, Illinois 38S-0063 correct about the value of keeping the attention of the audience polarized and focussed on the speaker. That is one of the reasons why it is a psychological hazard even to ask the audience to bow their heads in prayer. Immediately, the clergyman loses the attention of many in the sanctuary. , Here at the Chicago Temple where I have taught Dixon Bible class the past thirty-five years, we also hold a service at 3 p.m., for the deaf folks in Chicagoland. Since they cannot hear, they keep their eyes open and their heads erect during prayer, for they must keep their gaze glued to the leader, to understand what he is saying in sign language! And this very fact maintains the polarity of such an audience. Being an effective orator or song leader, is somewhat like the function of a magician or hypnotist. And in the latter cases, we try to maintain 100 percent dominance of attention. Magicians thus find it more difficult to trick children, for their attention wanders and thus they don't keep their focus on the point the magician is stressing. Adults are more habituated to following suggestions, so we older folks are easily deceived, but many a child's wandering gaze is fastened on the wrong spot, so he detects the magician's secret. And in hypnosis, we never try to break in upon the prehypnotic trance by having the patient look at a song book, or bow his head or listen to another doctor! Wallace Johnson is thus a consummate Applied Psychologist and I hope his idea about a central movie screen down front is quickly adopted.

DRIVING FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY by Paul Powell Secretary As the days grow shorter, it is even more important that pedestrians remember their responsibility on the highway and even on the sidewalk. They sometimes tend to forget the obligations they have to the motorist and to the necessary protection of their own safety. With less daylight and cold weather combined, the pedestrian scurries to his destination, huddled in his coat collar. The oncoming car can very easily go unnoticed as he steps off the sidewalk into the crosswalk. It is always wise not to cross against traffic signals, lrom between parked cars or to jay-walk. It is far too easy for both driver and pedestrian to be daydreaming about that Thanksgiving Turkey. Adults as well as children should remember that the Rules of the Road apply to them, as pedestrians, as well as .to the motorist. For your copy of "Rules of the Road", write to Paul Powell, Secretary of State, Springfield, Illinois 62706. SMOKING In a recent survey done on smoking habits of 8,272 teenagers it was learned that there were several reasons why they first started smoking. Reasons given were: 71% of the students fathers smoked; 52% of their mothers smoked; 54% had older brothers who smoked and 47% had older sisters who smoked. Out of this group of 8,272 students 69% had smoked and 20.7% were regular smokers. SOME BASIC FACTS The death rates each year directly attributable to cigarette smoking are paralleling those of auto accidents -- 250,- 000 - 300,000 lives. This year 50,000 persons will die of lung cancer -- which is related to smoking cigarettes; studies show three times as many heart attacks among smokers as among non-smokers; (Hie out of every fourteen persons over forty-five are disabled by emphysema.
