It does me ol' heart good, t ' feel that all is not lost, an' influential people realize th' mistakes, an' re a settin' out t ' correct 'em. A young woman an' this granny, discussin' th' subject, t 'other day, made th' remark that it is too bad a whole generation o' younguns had*t' be th' guinea pigs, an' they ha' grown up. wi'out th' basic background wi' which t ' enter th' world o' adults, in society an' business This person mentioned, also, th' lack o' trainin' displayed by th' tod­ dlers she taught, in th' daycare center, where she works Children, not long out o' th' diaper stage, come t' th' center, t ' remain all day. in th' care o' attendants She an' th others feel that the little ones need mothers, to care f'r 'ero^an' teach em how t' be little people, wi' good manners an' habits. Seems t ' this great-granny, along wi' most o' th' folks who re int rested, it 's about time parents send younguns t ' J school potty-trained, at least an' not expectin' th' teachers t ' accomplish th' job Appears like there hain't any ability, 'r know-how. these days, regardin' th' role o' a bein' a parent More pow'r t ' th' folks who've put .up wi' th' said conditions f'r such a long n tiresome time, in rebellin' against th' sad neglect of th' part o' th' mamas, who're th' fault o' th' sitiation. Children need trainin' an' discipline from th' time they first come into th' world Like a new garden, they'll develop into acceptable human bein's, wi' lovin' care, teachin' o' basic principles o' good behavior, unselfishness, love for others, respect f 'r property o' others, cleanliness, an' all things pertinent t ' creation o' a good society These things, allowed t ' be neglected in th' tender years, allow th' undesirable development o' th' halfits, mannerisms, an' general deportment which will affect their lives in ways not com­ mendable. It 'rtoo late t ' undo th' wrong, done t ' a child through neglect o' duty, as a parent, after th. youngster reaches school age Do it now. when young minds may be shaped t ' pervide a happy lifetime Grandma Radtke Would Knowing What Future Holds Be Very Helpful? We think of the future at New Year's and resolve to do better than we have done in the past However, maybe we are for­ tunate no| to be able to perceive what the future holds for us Nearly 2000 years ago Cicero ex­ pressed this thought - "For my part. I think that a knowledge of the future would be a disadvan­ tage Undoubtedly. ignorance of future ills is more useful than knowledge of them " This does not mean we shouldn't plan for the future, but foreknowledge could become a burden if we anticipated the sorrows as well as the happiness that lie ahead for us each year„, There is no reason, of course, why we should not reflect on the year that is ending and make plans for the future In Italy, Befana Brings The Gifts Gift giving in Italy is on Twelfth Night, or Epiphany The gift-giver is an old woman named Befana Legend tells that the Three Kings stopped to ask her the way to the new born King, but Befana did not know After they had gone, she felt she should go to bring her FUNNYSIDE *~,LcMCjC k: "... and then I heard a very small voice say, "Why don't you just buy an artificial tree?"
