By Donald Kinsala Opening day, Junior division, two teams in their bright new uniforms lining the baselines. Bleachers filled and a standing crowd surrounding the field.

And what a ball game. Last inning State Farm -12, Europa Motors -12.

Irene Trumble BY JOSEPH COOLS staff psychologist . news from the Family Service and Mental Health Clinic of McHenry County. (Editor's note: This is another in a series of especially written articles for McHenry County readers, Joseph Cools is psychologist on the Family Service and Community Mental Health Center staff. This ar­ ticle is "Coping - Position in the Family"). A woman said to me recently, "If my second child had been my first child, there never would have been a second child". What she meant was that her second child was very difficult to handle, whereas her first child was the "perfect baby" and an ideal toddler. The second child, however, was difficult to handle from the beginning, was more demanding and too in­ dependent. Does birth order determine to some extent the kind of per­ sonality the child will have? There seems to be over­ whelming evidence that suggest that position in the family does indeed have a profound effect on the per­ sonality of the child. The first bom child is an only child (at least until the second child is born) and ' receives the un­ divided attention of the parents. The second born child is more independent from the begin­ ning since the 'novelty' of the first born was worn off and the child generally gets less at­ tention. Also, the second bom always has a brother or sister, that shares in the attention from mother and father. As a result, the second born child tends to be more outgoing and independent. In larger families, the third and fourth born children often have the "easiest" time of it. The parents are no longer nervous about how to handle children and tend to be more flexible. Older children usually give the younger ones a lot of attention and rivalry becomes less necessary. While birth order certainly makes a difference in a child's development, it is, of course, only one factor. It is in­ teresting. however, to trv to guess a child's birth order by his-her personality Next: The "Spoiled" Child. 8 TEST FOR CENSUS The U.S. Bureau of the Census will be testing for census enumerators at the city hall at 9:30 a.m. Monday, June 11.
