Reserve Windbreak Stock Now The thrashing nor- thwesterlies blow in the years. Not only are small trees less expensive than larger ones, but they are less susceptible to ^tran­ splantation shock, Curtin said. >•' But while most farmer: know what size of trees t buy, Curtin said be wary of nurseries that try to con­ vince you to buy deciduous shrubs like dogwoods or honeysuckles as sup­ plements to, windbreaks or as windbreaks themselves. Norway spruce and Douglas fir make the best windbreaks. Pines are not considered the best because they are not as dense. Unlike pines, which put out bran­ ches only in whorls, fir and spruce grow branches up and down the trunk. According to Curtin, if your living on light, dry, sandy soils, you may have to use pines. But spruce and fir grow well on heavy prairie Three new small group homes for mentally retarded adults will1'open in January at the Lambs, located at t^p junction of Tri-State Tollway 1-94 and 111.

Joseph Cools is a p- sychologist on the Family Service and Community Mental Health Center staff. This article is "Coping - The Passive-Aggressive Per­ sonality".) It is particularly difficult to deal with a passive- aggressive person because, although there is a great deal of anger inside the individual, • the anger is never expressed directly and can never nbe directly confronted. The passive, aggressive person will "forget" to do something that was promised. The person on the _ receiving end must decide if ,it was purposeful or really something that was truly forgotten. The passive aggressive person will "accidently" break a dish while washing dishes. Was it an accident, or was it purposeful? The passive aggressive person forgets birthdays, leaves the tooth­ paste cap on the counter, spills things, teases cruelly ("I didn't mean it, can't you take a joke?), and is con­ stantly later V. This kind of existence is pure torture for anyone in­ volved with* the passive aggressive person because, although the behavior is consistent, there is hardly ever an admission on the part of the person that he-she is angry. This denial makes working through conflicts a virtual impossibility. After a period of time, the person on the receiving end of the passive anger usually begins to feel as if it is really himself who is reacting unfairly. The other part of the tragedy is that the passive aggressive person, who is unable to express anger directly, never resolves any conflicts and feels con­ sistently unsettled and vaguely angfy. This form of relationship problem is very difficult for a therapist to treat, as the same passive anger is expressed in therapy, such as being late for appointments and denial of angry feelings^ The disorder is treatable, but it takes a great deal of patience and confrontation. It is in therapy that the passive aggressive person v learns that it is safe and even rewarding to be able to express anger directly rather than covertly.

LIMITED ADVERTISING A new Illinois Law, ef­ fective Jan. 1, ;i980, allows medical doctors and chiropractors to advertise their professional services. The law spells out exactly what advertising can and cannot be done. According to Joan Anderson, director of m the Illinois Department of Registration and Education, the new medical advertising law mirrors the depart­ ment's policy of trying to strike a balance between restrained advertising that contains factual information and regulating advertising that is uninformative, false, deceptive and misleading. , KREME OLD FASHIONED PLAIN Pn ct DUNKIN' DONUTS ANNOUNCES FAMILY NIGHTS" DONUTS 15* EACH All prices include lax V First Federal of Chicago -- r ' \ ~™ .jjgiiiwi Illinois' Largest Savings and Loan.
