PAGE 15-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1973 WHAT'S BEST FOR YOUR CHILD - AND YOU Series 3 The Parents' Example And how is your behavior? Do you exemplify cheerful good nature, or do you make a bedlam of your home by your irritability? The child who is constantly screamed at soon becomes the most disobedient child of all. Why? Subtly it is communicated to him that the parent is too lazy to get up and enforce her directives. She just hollers. Why, then, obey? Screaming at a child is a complete waste of energy. But some mothers keep it up anyway, hoping against hope that the child will be frightened into obedience by sheer force of threatening sound. And some children do respond when the hollering reaches the frenzy point. Most of them, however, just harden against it, perhaps not even hearing it. Disobedience becomes a habit. Thus, a vicious spiral is star­ ted. As it accelerates with time, home is turned into a bedlam. But quiet orders, consistently enforced, get obedience. Those who learn obedience at home become socially cooperative, law-abiding citizens. Em­ ployers are glad to hire them; families welcome them when they come courting; neighbors are glad to be their friends. Order is the first law of the universe and of the individual family. Give your child the blessing of an orderly life. Most of us prefer rules. We say "do this" and "do that" to a child and expect, or at least hope, to be obeyed. But many children, and especially adolescents, instinctively resist rules. Rigid rules create a harsh home environment. They may cause much family discord or, worse still, very real personality ills. Is there a pleasanter, more effective way of creating the good society? Yes, there is. Standards are better than rules for establishing habits of right behavior in children. If we have high standards of 'personal behavior ourselves -- if we are industrious, truthful, cour­ teous, and, of course, honest - we can impress the same standards upon our children. You begin by being a war­ mhearted, pleasant, friendly person. Dr. Timothy Costello, associate professor of psychology at New York university, put it this way: "The amount of discipline a parent can instill in a child depends largely on the warmth of his relationship with the youngster." The next step is to make clear to the child what your stan­ dards are. You do this best by exemplifying them in your own behavior. But it is also im­ portant to spell out to the child in friendly talk (don't be preachy) what you expect of him. Especially, when the child misbehaves, let him know exactly what it is that he has done wrong. He may not have thought it wrong. Children enjoy being loved. (Don't we all?) To retain the good will of his parents and teachers, the child will watch to see what behavior is approved of, then follow it for fear that if he doesn't he will lose his most precious possession - their love. And especially if they have loved him freely and unconditionally, it will be his pride to love back by the free gift of his obedience. If discipline through stan­ dards is as simple and certain as all that, why do most people prefer rules? Many have not thought the matter through. Many more are impatient ; they want quick remedies, and rules seem to serve the purpose. The Good Lord deals out the card to each of us-where we get depends on how we play 'em. High Blood Pressure Is Unseen Killer i High blood pressure can set the stage for such potential tragedies as stroke, heart at­ tack and kidney disease. It is a real tragedy, says Illinois Heart association, that' millions of Americans don't know they have high blood pressure, and thai millions of others who may be on the road to this disease do not know, or are not following those living habits that can reduce their risk of serious illness or death. It is estimated that one out of every seven adults in this country has high blood pressure, which is more common in the non-white population. At least half of them don't know they have it, and adds Illinois Heart association, medical experts believe that only half of the others are under treatment. The seriousness of the disease, the lack of public knowledge about it calls for prompt action on two fronts, says Illinois Heart association. First is a trip to your doctor to have him check your blood pressure. Most cases wten IEA President Will Speak To County Teachers The Crystal Lake Elemen­ tary Teachers association has invited teachers from all over McHenry county, as well as nearby out-of-county com­ munities, to hear Joseph Pasteris, president of the Illinois Education association speak on several issues im­ portant to teachers today. Mr. Pasteris, a former classroom teacher, has served the Illinois Education association in several capacities before assuming the duties of president this year. A resident of DeKalb, his office is now based in Springfield, and he will be making the trip to Crystal Lake specifically for this meeting. The meeting will be held Tuesday, March 20, at 4:15 p.m. at Central school in Crystal Lake, McHenry avenue at Paddock street. Don't drive off without leaving your wife some transportation.

And only through a checkup can a person know. If not found through a physical examination, high blood pressure can work unseen for years without producing any symptoms. When symptoms do appear it usually means damage has been done to the blood-carrying arterial system, the heart or kidneys may have been damaged, or the normal process of hardening of the arteries may have been speeded, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke. What can the individual do, other than the most important trip to his doctor and then being sure to follow the doctor's advice? He or she can quit smoking cigarettes, for one thing. Scientists also have found that nervousness, anxiety, and eating too many of the wrong foods can contribute to raising blood pressure above normal. So, a diet low in animal fats and cholesterol should be followed, and the total intake of calories should be no more than enough to keep weight normal. Illinois Heart association can give more information on high blood pressure, but all the information in the world may not be much help if it isn't combined with a trip to the doctor to find out where you stand regarding this silent, unseen killer disease. Birch Members Launch Nix On OSHACommittee "Under the guise of promoting employee health and safety, the federal government has started a new program that could destroy all private business in this country." With this terse warning, Emitt Roberts, a local member of the John Birch society, this week announced that the group was forming the McHenry county "Nix On OSHA" committee, to expose and then defeat the federal Occupational Safety and Health administration. "Our purpose is to show businessmen what can be done to get this latest bureaucratic monstrosity repealed," Roberts declared. Although many Americans have never heard of OSHA, the "Nix On OSHA" committee contends that tens of thousands of businessmen across the United States have already felt its impact. According to the "Nix On OSHA" committee, OSHA compliance officers, armed with a mountain of regulations and documents, can enter any firm or shop without a warning or a warrant, to inspect for violations of federal regulations. Businessmen are subject to fines or im­ prisonment without a hearing or a trial, and OSHA even has the power to order their businesses closed. The committee chairman pointed out, "OSHA officials act as prosecutor, judge, and jury in each case. In the first six months of operation, OSHA compliance officers visited some 9,300 businesses. Of these, over seventy-five percent were found guilty of violating some OSHA regulation. And OSHA officials admitted that the remaining companies could also have been found guilty of something if the OSHA officials had looked hard enough." The "Nix On OSHA" com­ mittee, which is part of a nation-wide network of such groups started by the con­ servative John Birch society, has stated: "After almost two hundred years of the greatest productivity and technological advance in the history of mankind, the federal govern­ ment apparently has decided that the men who accomplished such wonders, the American producers and businessmen, are virtual criminals who deliberately endanger the men and women who work for them. We think such an assumption is outrageous. The truth is that federal bureaucrats are using this excuse to control all American business." The committee believes that most industrial accidents are caused by human carelessness and will, unfortunately, occur from time to time. It points out that virtually every business has already instituted safety procedures, in an effort to reduce such accidents. "Otherwise," Roberts said, "it would soon be forced to close down, because there would be no one left to employ." The McHenry county "Nix On OSHA" committee is planning to conduct an educational campaign about OSHA in the area, through literature distribution, public programs, and letter-writing. Roberts added, "This nation­ wide network of committees is being started by the John Birch society, which has repeatedly insisted that the federal government is no longer being run by well-meaning but bungling bureaucrats, but by a new breed of revolutionary activists who are determined to rule or ruin our entire economy. Now, - many American businessmen are reaching the same painful conclusion. There is still time to stop this growing menace, but businessmen and Birchers must work together to do it." Interested citizens can contact the "Nix On OSHA" committee through Mr. Roberts at 3601 N. Middle avenue, McHenry. Goodwill In March Visits To This Area People find out they have been storing useless possessions for years, when they decide to move, then they have a problem. It never ceases to amaze Americans how the odds and ends or just plain junk accumulates. A call to Mrs. Nick Adams will bring a Goodwill In­ dustries, Inc., truck and make this realization more pleasant. The Goodwill Industries truck will be in McHenry Friday, March 23. One of the most important things a family on the move can do to ease the job of moving is to dispose of everything that won't go into the new home a week or two before moving. Don't wait until moving day to pile up your discards as this 'will slow up the whole operation and might not fit the truck schedule. Worn out tools, broken toys, pictures, books, out-date and out-grown clothes, and broken down furniture which collects in drawers, attics, closets, basements and garages can be utilized by Goodwill Industries in giving employment to the handicapped people. The Goodwill truck will be in Wonder Lake Friday, March 23.
