Definition Collective bargaining: A man discussing clothes with his wife and teen-age daughter. -Changing Times. The way people deal with personal catastrophe is one of the ultimate tests of character. Take the case of 83-year-old Mrs. W. A. Salter, of Kerrville, Texas. Her life has been a series of tests ranging in degree from mild to overwhelming be­ ginning when she was a youngster in the Indian Ter­ ritory of Oklahoma during the early 1900s. "I grew up in the Choc­ taw Nation, Mrs. Salter told a writer from The Na­ tional Council on the Ag­ ing. "1 think my independ­ ent nature comes from be­ ing with Indians when I was young." She was independent enough at the age of eight to play football on an all- boy's team, many years be­ fore female athletes dreamed of equal participation with their male counterparts. During one of those games, a member of the vis­ iting team was impressed by how hard and well she played and struck up a con­ versation with her. "He was 18 and told me he was going to marry me when I grew up because he wanted a wife who knew how to play football," Mrs. Salter recalled with a laugh. "I didn't even know what getting married meant when I was eight." But at 18, the future Mr. Salter knew, and was seri­ ous about his proposal. He maintained contact over the years, and 17 years later, when he was 35 and she was 25, they were married. A couple of years later, with Mrs. Salter settling into her role of new mother, Mr. Salter's brother asked them to move to Kerrville where he had bought a newspaper. They went to Kerrville in 1921 where the two broth­ ers built the paper into a successful enterprise. Mrs. Salter's life was pleasant and predictable until she was confronted with a se­ ries of tragedies beginning in 1927. First, her brother- in-law became seriously ill that year, lingering until he died in 1929. Five months later, her husband died, two events large enough to plunge the strongest of peo­ ple into a state of perma­ nent despair. "Some of the local busi­ nessmen asked me what I wanted to do," she said. "I told them I wanted to run the newspaper. I didn't know what else to do." With no background in journalism, a mortgage to pay and an eight-year-old son to raise, Mrs. Salter set about learning the newspa­ per business. She proved to be an apt pupil, keeping the newspaper going through the Depression and World War II. •"I did everything there was to be done," Mrs. Salter recalled. "Either I couldn't afford to hire help or I couldn't get any. Dur­ ing the war, I had a young Mexican boy helping me. He fed the press and I ran the folder." When the war was over, her son Forrest joined her on the newspaper and Mrs. Salter found time for other interests. Over the years she's given many hours of her time to local civic groups and still volunteers her services when the Red Cross Bloodmobile comes to Kerrville. "I join all the groups you pay dues to," she said wryly. Now retired from the newspaper, Mrs. Salter con­ tinues to write a weekly col­ umn, choosing her subject matter from whatever nap- pens to strike her fancy. "I figure I've earned the privilege to write about lo­ cal history, gardening, and other personal interests," Mrs. Salter said. "And it's a privilege I intend to exercise for quite some time." » • * THE OCTOBER 13 epi­ sode of "The Waltons," en­ titled "The Warrior," con­ cerns the search by an el­ derly Indian chief and his grandson for their family's lost burial plot.

IT'S ALL IN AAV MEAD. rascorch at the Institute for Development of Human Re­ sources, University of Florida, that parental intuition can be ' given a substantial boost by well-timed training. The study, sponsored in 4k part by the National Institute of Mental Health, has found that young parents are more - and more interested in books on basic child development. Dr. Ira Gordon, who directs the research, attributes this to various factors. One is the fact that more and more young people no longer live near their own parents, who, pre­ sumably, could tell them something about child care. Also, many young parents have never handled infants before having their own. Given such isolation and in­ experience, they turn to the professional for guidance. Visits to the homes of the families taking part in the program showed that, in gen­ eral, mothers were taking care of the baby's physical needs, but usually did not talk to or play with the baby, and did not praise his or her accom­ plishments. In the project, mothers were taught how to catch i and hold their babies' attention and to encourage the infants to talk and engage in physical activity. At the same time they learned to / cuddle and comfort them when needed. Gordon points out that the « parent must realize that child care cannot be separated from - child development. "This means," he said, "that while you are changing a diaper, for example, you have an oppor­ tunity to look at your child's face and smile. While you are feeding the child, you can talk. These are not simply physical care times, they are also learning times."
