Lions Assist Blind More than 400 Illinois Lions and their families participated in the annual event, Lions day at the Hadley School for the Blind, 700 South Elm, Winnetka, Illinois. The featured speaker was David A. Evans, president of Lions International 1968-69, who flew in from Houston, Texas, to ad­ dress the assembly of Lions. The program was highlighted by the parade of checks totaling $24,000 to the world renowned facility, known as "The University of Courage". Dr. Richard Kinney, Hadley's executive vice-president, accepted the contributions on behalf of the school. The Hadley School for the Blind is one of the Illinois Lions' state approved projects ,and benefits directly from Lions Candy Day for the Blind, held Oct. 6. Each club allocates a portion of its Candy day proceeds to the Hadley school, and the anticipated gross contributions from Lions state-wide will amount to approximately $175,000 this year. Hadley provides 110 courses to their students, ranging from high school through college level. The cost per course is $200, and the normal work load per student is five courses, or $1,000. This educational opportunity is made available to each student at no cost to him because of Lions' support to the Hadley school. Any visually handicapped person seeking assistance should contact his local Lions club or write the Lions of Illinois Blind Activities committee, 1515 North Harlem avenue, Oak Park, Illinois 60302. m H l S Give your home - and your wife- a luxurious carpet from Tidy for Christmas ...and look at all the extras when you shop at Tidy-- ^CHOOSE FROM 100'S OF ROLLS IN STOCK EXPERT, GUARANTEED INSTALLATION ^SAVE 35% TO 50% ON REMNANTS ^OVER 400 FULL 9 FT. x 12 FT.

The customary pledge to the flag followed and minutes were read and approved to the previous general meeting and board meeting. Following minutes, Treasurer John Heidler gave his report showing a balance of $7163.87. The first order of business was a report from New Year's Eve Chairman Harold Bichler. He reported the party is well on its way and asked that the men volunteer and set up a time schedule to tend bar for the evening. Jim Fantus informed us that work done on the road im­ provement plan seemed very hopeful as about 85 percent of all people contacted expressed interest in the improvement. By-Laws were read for the second time at the meeting as three readings are needed before they can be voted on and changed. At that time they will be reprinted. An electrician has been working in the community center to rewire and add more outlets. Also one exit light and fire extinguishers have been installed. A letter from the state ex­ cused our organization from paying a recreational fee of $100 as our facilities do not qualify us as being recreational. The meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p.m. at which time refreshments were served by Grace Steward. CHRISTMAS DECORATION CONTEST Homes in the Highlands are beginning to light up for the holidays. The contest will be judged by a committee and awards will be given at the community center. Categories for the contest will be most original which will get a ten dollar award and best lighting, receiving two five dollar prizes. Awards will be given at 8 p.m , Dec. 22. Immediately following awards, the association and Women's club will have a cheer night with punch and cookies. Everyone who hasn't started their decoration better get with it as time is running out. GIRLSCOUTS Our Girl Scouts, supervised by JoAnne Hiedler, have been involved in lots and lots of projects.: To start off they have made lovely centerpieces for the Women's Club and New Year's Eve Party. The decorations are made of folded and stapled IBM cards to form candle holders and Christmas trees. Once the form 4s set for these, the girls sprayed them red and green and touched them off with glitter. Also the little ladies are saving food coupons to help the Johnsburg Home Economics activity program. They have already turned over two thousand coupons and ask the community to help them save also. Any coupons collected for them may be given to their troop leaders. WOMEN'S CLUB At the November meeting of the Women's Club the ladies all brought home made decorations and ideas which all were very clever and showed much effort and thought was used to create these. For the Dec. 13 meeting a spaghetti dinner will be held for that meeting along with a cookie pass. Each lady is asked to bring three dozen cookies for the exchange and I might add a hearty appetite would be in order. Also each lady who wishes to participate may bring a two dollar item for a grab bag gift. All ladies who wish to attend the meeting are asked to call Women's Club officers so plans for the amount to serve may be made for the dinner. CUBSCOUTS The Cub Scouts in our area had a paper drive on Dec. 1 and 2 which was very successful. They collected over nine truck loads of papers and are already looking forward to their next j •drive in February. * NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTY As the big event grows closer now tickets are beginning to move fast.

You can help promote these ideas if you realize that how you treat your children has a greater influence on their feelings of self-acceptance than what you say to them. One way to insure failure and self-depreciation is to expcct too much. Make only reasonable de­ mands on your children, demands they can fulfill--and try to see that away from home, at school, for example, only reasonable de­ mands are placed on them. How much you require of a child de­ pends on his age and his per­ sonality. The more you know what to expect of a child of a particular age and the more you know your own child, the better job you can do making reasonable demands of the child or in en­ couraging the child to make rea­ sonable demands of himself. What to do if he fails . . . It's your job, and a difficult one, to help your child handle failure. Here are some general rules on what not to do: Don't reason with your child to show him that he shouldn't be disappointed at his failure. Don't put him off with cliches, such as "Everything's for the best." Don't point out to him how yon would have acted differently. Don't try to improve his per­ sonality by telling him how he should have behaved. Don't minimize the situation, as if his failure really didn't matter. Don't immediately try to cheer him up. Give him a chance to ex­ press his disappointment and sor­ row. If you want your children to grow up to be successful and have a happy adult life, your example may have as much affect as your admonition. Start by setting rea­ sonable goals for yourself, your spouse and your children, and remember, that praise is a neces­ sary ingredient of success and self-affirmation. •R SUNDAY S A SERMON Christmas draws near!

But remember our purpose and spread lots of good cheer, for some of our brothers are shivering cold, some of our brothers have grown very old, and too many of our brothers worry about gold. So let's spread good cheer to those in need, and remember God truly loves us, indeed! You'll get a better paint job if first you dip the brush or roller in water and wring or shake out excess.
