RTE. 120-McHENRY 385-1914 DAILY 76. SAT. 8-5:31 There's An Answer (by Norman Vincent IVale and Ruth Stafford I Vale) Parents bring oat the worst Q. Oar son is a Vietnam veteran. At 19 he was sent to DaNang and one year later came back suffering a nervous breakdown. He is abusive verbally to his father and me. We love him but after 10 years (in and out of the hospital) we feel we are failing to help him and perhaps he would be better off away from us. Itseems we bring out the worst in him. I feel he should turn to God and pray for healing, but he's not ready to do that Where can we turn for help? A. It is true that the volatile condition created by a breakdown can be accentuated by parents, however loving and well-meaning. Perhaps local mental health authorities can help you work out other living arrangements for your son. Since your son won't pray for his healing, do it yourself, and believe such healing will occur. But do this quietly and on your own. Picture him as well, affirm his healing and believe. This technique has an enormous power to effect good results. We are sending you our booklet, Healing For Loved Ones and For You, which is free to any reader of this column. Write to us at Box 500, Pawling, N.Y., 12564. Feels so lost O. I seem to have lost my belief in God and can't get back to the basis 1 was. I have a disease called Lupus and taking med­ ication has caused me to gain weight. I'm so ashamed that I won't go to church because I'm afraid they'll laugh at me. I'm trying to hold down a job because of our many bills due to my illness. Nothing seems to go right. Have thought of taking my life. Maybe my family would be better off without me. But I know that is one sin God won't forgive you for. Please can you help me? I feel so lost. A Take yourself in hand and change your way of thinking. Start by reaffirming your belief in God. Then begin really trusting Him. He won't fail you, and you will experience His presence and help. Go to church in a normal manner. One of the heaviest persons I have ever known was one of the most beloved members of her church. She was lots of fun and nobody paid any attention to her weight. Normal is the word for you-in thinking, acting and believing. Such an attitude will also help you physically. Mixed-up prisoner Q. I am 20 years of age and incarcerated in a prison honor camp. I would like to know what you would do if you were in my shoes. This girl and I have a little boy almost 7 months old. I have only seen him one time. Now she is going with another guy, and they say I will never see my son. She told me not to ever write her again. What should I do? I am all mixed up. I care a lot for her and our baby. A Since you are not married you probably have no legal right to visitation of the child. But as the father, humane consideration should give you opportunity to see your own boy now and then. I would suggest that you tell the mother, in honesty, that you will not intrudein her lie or the boy's. Show her consideration and prove yourself a person of good character. If she becomes aware that there is nothing to fear and that she can reorder her life as she wishes, she may be willing for you to visit your son at intervals. If there is something you would like to ask Dr. and Mrs. Peale, write to them at Box 500, Pawling, NY., 12564. Nutrition Awareness A Nutrition Awareness seminar for parents representing the county's public and non-public school districts was held earlier this month, at McHenry County college.

Participants in the program were Charles Lapp, director of Curriculum and Instruction, District 47, ,Ray Mat his, health teacher from McHenry East high school, and Ann Dille, director of the McHenry County Network for Nutrition Education.

Omelet-Crepe Class Held The Home Economics department of McHenry high school East campus enjoyed a change of pace on Jan. 15 with a demonstration by the Illinois Egg Market Development council on easy- and fun ways to fix omelets and crepes. According to Miss Reimann, who coordinated the program with the Illinois Egg council and the school Home Economics depart­ ment, the omelet pizza and dessert crepes were easy favorites of students who sampled each preparation. However, useful, nutritional economic versatility, and low calorie/ information provided excellent seasoning for many students who are becoming sudden gourmet cooks. Cooking for fun and variety was the keyword for Gerald Pitt, who represented the Illinois Egg Market Development^ council. The council is" funded .by Commercial Egg Producers in the state of Illinois through a commodity checkoff based on produc­ tion of eggs. A number of commodity organizations supply educational material for schools such as McHenry high school, Miss Heimann added, but at the present time the Illinois Egg Market Development council is the only one offering educational cooking demonstration on a volume basis.
