Young suggests new clay pots should be moistened before being used. If one is a home gardener with a not so green thumb, it might be wise to stick to sturdy, resistant house plants such as Cast Iron plants. Arrowhead plants and Chinese evergreens. Young also recommends Bromiliads as hardy plants that are "people resistant." These plants are similar in appearance to the pineapples and have very showy flowers and foliage House plants need to be placed in areas that will provide them with'enough sunlight, stresses Young. "Your plant will tell you if it 's getting too little or too much sun.' ' Plants will show bleached areas indicating sunburn; or long, weak growth with too little light. Young recommends five hours of direct sunlight daily for ̂ trtifsery or greenhouse plants labeled "sunny". Two to five hours should be sufficient for "semi-sunny" plants. "Semi'shady" plants should be set in the east window of the home for sunning and "shady" plants should receive bright northern light. Young advises home tem­ peratures of 65 to 70 degrees as ideal for plants. Bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms are good locations for some plants because of the natural high humidity. However, Young advised against misting plants because the water may spread diseases. Plants should be watered until water seeps from the pot's drainage hole. The water that drains into the underlying dish should be emptied. If it is left in the dish, it may keep the soil too wet causing roots to rot, and may result in accumulation of excess minerals in the soil. Water should always be room temperature. Young states. Horticulturists suggest that gardeners allow the w^ter to reach room temperature before applying it to plants. Water that has been softened should never be used for plants. The hard water actually con­ tains minerals needed by- plants. When repotting a plant, cut the root ball in several places. This will force the roots to grow out into the new soil area quicker and. get established faster. After adding soil around the root, tamp the pot slightly and water. Young warns against using aerosol spray insecticides too close to the plants. "The propellants can cause the leaves to burn." he said. A plant that isn't flowering properly can be suffering from too much fertilizer. Young said. Too little moisture or not enough sunlight may also be problems.

In 1972 the L'nited States Congress passed Title IX of The Educational amendments aimed at ending discrimination in this country's schools. Specifically Title IX states: "No person in,, the United States shall, on the basis of sex, he excluded from participation in. he denied the benefits of. or be subjected to^.discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance." WHO AND WHAT DOES IT' COVER? X. Title IX applies to every public school, preschool through college. Title IX affects all parts of any school's program in­ cluding: hiring practices. student counseling, course offerings. co-curricula r activities." and athletic ac­ tivities McHenry High School, along with all other public school districts in the County, has been involved in a thorough study of Title IX regulations and how well we comply with those regulations.

Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family* Service and Community Mental Health Center staff. This article is "Coping - The Second Child - Sibling Rivalry.") With the appearance of the second child, the first child is usually overjoyed at the prospect of welcoming the new brother or sister into the family The first child feels that he can be a real help in caring for the infant, and helping mother. After a very short period of time, usually less than a week, the child realizes that the presence of this stranger in the house is not exactly what he thought it was going to be. For the first time in his life, the child does not have the undivided attention of his parents whenever he wants it. In fact, it quickly becomes QUALITY * L Y - AUCTION OPIN MON.--Ftl. 9t, $A : OPEN SUNDAY II* « 926 NORTH FRONT ST.

Fur­ ther. the help that he was so eager to give to mother does not seem appreciated. More often than not, the help is rejected, and the child is told to leave the baby alone. When people come to visit, they seem to head directly for the baby, to hold the baby, and to ignore the first child. It is no wonder that the first child quickly builds up a feeling of resentment towards the new baby. Of course, the feeling of resentment is usually stifled immediately by the parents who will not permit the child to pinch or hit the baby, or even permit the child to verbally assault the baby. Often then, the child will develop more subtle ways of expressing his anger towards the unwanted intrusion in his life. If the child is old enough to have been toilet trained, he will often begin wetting his bed again. Other forms of regressive behavior may be noted, such as thumb sucking, or excessive demands for at­ tention. At times, behavior problems may develop in a child who was formerly obedient. Sibling rivalry is a normal, healthy reaction in children, and should be expected to some extent. Children need to be reassured of their importance in the family. One of the best ways of dealing with this problem is to spend some in­ dividual time with each child, doing what the child wants to do Next: Child Abuse.
