Easter's th' time o' new life f'r all God's creatures. What a wonderful miracle t' see, each year, th' greenin' o' th' grass an' the buds a swellin' wi' new life. If mankind could only be satisfied wi' th' bountiful gifts o' nature, an' be thankful f'r th' chance t' enjoy it all, what a better world this'd be. Th' influences o' th' times re changin' th' way folks think an' live, an' it seem t' this granny that th' children 're a bein' short-changed. They don't have a chance t' be children, very long, in this society, as we know it t'day. Younguns ha' always had a hard time t' get through th' years, t' grow up an' know th' privileges o' adults; but in such a short time they learn things that many o' us ne'er knew 'till we were young adults. Seems a pity that things, unbecomin't' th' tender years, should be heaped on their young shoulders, an' they're expected t' cope wi' 'em like seasoned adults. This ol' lady, great-grandma that I be, can only have pity an' sorrow f'r th' lost years o' real happy childhood f'r th' many kiddies, a tryin' t' assume th' role f'r which they're totally unfitted, inexperienced. Many educators, research workers in social study, re a comin' t' th' realization that much o' th' heartbreakin' things, a happenin't' our young folk, hark back t' th' fact that th' women don't take th' job o' motherhood as a career, an' anyone who has a child has a obligation t' fulfill, as parent an' keeper, teacher an' counselor, until that child reaches an age, a state o' knowledge an' th' ability t' use it. No one can do th' job like a parent who cares enough t' put that job first an' foremost. This writer has been a har- pin' on th' subject f'r years, an' watchin' th' deterioration a growin' by leaps an' bounds. Only a few years back, a child could grow up, wi'out a knowin' about harmful drugs. Liquor wasn't used as it is, in this day, an' in many homes it was ne'er served. Children 're becomin' addicted t' one thing 're t'other, afore they're out o' grade school, f Wi' tnis blessed season, Easter, time o' new life, seems t' this grandma that it might be a wonderful time t' take in­ ventory, an' start a new regime in th' home, takin' th' helm o' th' ship o' life, an' stearin' a cleaner course toward a goal which'11 make for a better society for posterity. One thing we elders notice is th' lack o' courage, self- confidence in rearm' th' young. Parents ha' b'come lazy, lackadaical, in their attitude toward th' offspring, pacifyin' 'em w' most anythin' t' keep 'em from botherin' their own desires. Ye can't be a good parent unless ye take th' initiative in teachin' th' young t' live wi' a goal toward an intelligent an' productive adulthood. This ol' lady feels sorry fo'r th' young, wi' too many tem- tations f'r 'em t' cope wi', th' pressure o' natural urges which parents don't take th' trouble t' teach 'em t' control. It n'er hurt anyone t' learn t' control their emotions, an' one reason f'r so much crime among th' young is that they aren't taught. Th' word is "Get it out o' th' system, give vent t' th' anger, frustrations, an' don't let 'em build up." Th' way t' o'er come all those^ powerful urges is t' learn t' take a pertain attitude toward 'em, arji' realize that they aren't important. It takes good parents t' teach th' younguns how ti live wi' one another, in a decent society, created an' maintained by folks who care. Have a blessed Easter.
