JUNE 2. 1Wt Working Mothers-Young Children Mock Sangria Cadets Complete Year At Military Institute Despite this controversy, the fact is that mothers do work while their children are young, for a variety of reasons, financial and personal. These mothers may, or may not, gain tremendous personal satisfactions from such employment, and many employed mothers report being much happier with their children than they would be if they were home all day. What appears to be the case is that mothers who enjoy working, and who can come home to enjoy their children and their spouse if married, will find satisfaction in both roles. Howell reports, for instance, that'"employed mothers often spend as much or more one-to-one time with their children and find as much, or more, enjoyment in their care of their children as do unemployed mothers." The employed pregnant woman, or the mother of young children considering employment, has a number of questions to ask herself. If the choice about employment is hers to make, she will want to think about what would be satisfying for her. Will she feel trapped if she stays home? Does she look forward to being with children all day. Will she resent the child who forces her into giving up a now satisfying job? If she must work for financial reasons, in addition to the questions above, she should ask herself if she can find employment which will be satisfying for her. Can she allow time each day to be alone with her child? Can she find some way to minimize household tasks so that when she is home she will nave time to enjoy her baby. Mothers have a responsibility to find things in their lives which are meaningful to them, for an unhappy person makes a poor parent. This series explores opportunities of self-fulfillment tod satisfying parenting. by Joy Johnson and Barbara Wickell (The authors of the "working mother and her children" series are Prof. Joy Duvall Johnson and Prof. Barbara Key Wickell, both of the Jane Addams School of Social Work at the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle. Ms. Johnson teaches adolescent dynamics and psychotherapy, is a private therapist, and provides consultation to schools and youth agencies. Ms. Wickell teaches in the area of family dynamics and human sexuality and serves as consultant on families and groups to health care facilities. Both bring clinical and classroom experience to the series, and both are working mothers). BARBARA WICKELL JOY JOHNSON (by Joy Johnson and Barbara Wickell) The question of whether a mother of infants should be employed outside the home is highly controversial, despite the fact that almost two million mothers of children under the age of 2 are so engaged. Dr. Robert Rosenfeld, child psychiatrist, University of Illinois College of Medicine, feels that a "consistent mothering figure must be provided, at least the first eighteen months." This may be a substitute parent, he feels, but there is strong indication of need for a primary parenting figure while the child is young. This opinion is widely held by many authorities. On the other hand, Mary C. Howell, physician and psychologist, Massachusetts General hospital, feds that "it is the quality of parenting by employed mothers" which is more important than the amount of time spent with the child. Current research is inconclusive in this area, but there is agreement that an infant needs attention and caring throughout his childhood, and that his initial attitude toward life is influenced by whether he is cared for by someone who enjoys him. There is disagreement as to whether this must be one person, or can be a variety of caring adults. KEN'NE Ll'DWIG Two McHenry youths are among the cadets of New Mexico Military institue.

In the face of cold hard statistics, employers are changing their attitudes about employing handicapped people. Our work records prove that when we get proper training and intelligent placement, we can compete with ablebodied workers. Employment, and the economic power that goes with it, can help break down many social barriers which have set us apart from society. Twenty - five to 50 years ago few people thought it possible for a physically handicapped person to marry and have a home and family. Even professional people who dedicated their lives to helping us overcome our physical disabilities did not accept the important emotional and sexual aspects of our personalities, lire fact that more and more of us lead satisfying fbmily lives is evidence that another social barrier is coming down. Doors can be widened, steps can be ramped with com paratively little effort, but it is more difficult to cope with narrow minds, or to ramp a chasm of misunderstanding. Human barriers are lowered with effort, and we who are handicapped have the responsibility to express ourselves as the total human beings we are. We get impatient at the rate of social change. We want all barriers removed overnight. But each of us will play a part in creating the barrier free society of the future. It will not happen all at once, but working together, we will make our ideal into reality. As a young adult, I found even more attitudinal barriers lying between me and development as a productive individual. Few employers could see how someone such as I could be worth hiring. So for a severely handicapped person, unwilling to settle for less than a full life, social attitudes rather than environmental barriers were bigger obstacles to achievement. There have been times when people have questioned my desire for a fuller and richer life. I have raised more than one eyebrow by going to con certs, plays and other activities alone at night. People have told me frankly that I was foolish to participate in church groups and other gatherings for "normal" people. One time^T shocked family and friends by i joining a group of friends f6rV 200-mile trip in the season's worst snowstorm. Critics in formed that my adventure did not fit their ideas of how a severely handicapped person conducts his life. Many memories linger about times in public places when I overheard people say, "Who let him out alone?" It was for tunate for them that my speech did not permit me to answer. Handicapped all my life, I probably can appreciate, more than a recently disabled per son, the progress we have made in changing attitudes. No longer is a wheelchair con sidered a device from outer space. Even those of us with multiple handicaps are finding acceptance as human beings. Backed by federal and state laws, equal employment requirements for disabled people promise . to open (by Bill Kiser, of Winston- Salem, NC., and Handicapped ^ American of the Year, authors a weekly syndicated newspaper column, a weekly radio program, and edits a newspaper for the North Carolina Rehabilitation association). Social Barriers Are Slowly Coming Down Architectural barriers to physically handicapped people have been in the news lately. Stories have appeared about how 22-inch doorways, 8-inch curbs, and buildings without ramps imprison us. Along with transportation barriers, they negate physical and vocational progress we handicapped people have made. Distressing as the physical barriers may be, social and attitudinal barriers are even harder to cope with, because they are unseen. What others think of us may not determine who we are, but can affect our self images and our individual development. Cerebral palsied from birth, I believe my life has been af fected more than most by at titudes of other people. As a child, I was affected when parents, who may have referred to me as a biological mishap without intelligence or feelings, kept their children from playing with me. Neigh bors who saw me as a human being gave meaning to my boyhood. Growing up, I found I didn't "fit in" with many of the usual social customs. It was harder for a teen-ager who did not walk or talk but drooled and moved uncontrollably, to fit into normal adolescent pastimes. NO SALES TO MINORS I WINES AND UQU0R3 4610 W.
