7 t^X'TION' 2 • PAGE 4 - PLAINDFAI.FR • WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3,1880^ ROBERT MCJSIKflNTOW. Ph.D. psychologist for the Family Service and Community Mental Health Center for Mchenry County Money Orders For Security (Editor's Note: This is another article in the Today's Psychology weekly series of especially written articles for McHenry County readers. The topic this week is "Procrastination".) Over and over again, I hear people say, "I would like to do such and such but I just can't." My standard reply to such a statement is "What prevents you?" People typically reply that though they believe they should do something they just don't feel like it. What ends up happening is that a tremendous struggle takes place inside of them between the part thats saying something must be done and the part that just doesn't feel like doing it. This inner struggle is what most people refer to as procrastination and it results in much inner pain and wasted energy. The root of procrastination is self-deceit. When you tell yourself that you want to do something but just can't, you are pretending that some force beyond your control is dominating your behavior and making you do things. The truth of the matter is that you don't want to do something and are pretending in order to look good, or you would like the results that come from doing something without having to go through the difficulty of actually doing this task. Be honest! Either admit that you don't want to do something, don't do it, and feel okay about your decision or decide you want to do something and do it. It's as simple as that. Most people fail to realize THtflSHA "Our cup overfloweth" - with love and appreciation of your extended kindness to Fish - for the great support you gave us in the com­ pletion and delivery of forty- eight Thanksgiving baskets. And, it is especially meaningful these days when everyone is in need of cur­ tailing the direction of their incomes. You can have no con­ ception of the joy of fulfillment experienced by the members of Fish in the preparation. If you were able to drop down to St. Patrick's church basement, it would make your heart almost burst - to see the various items lined up on a long, long table - and in front of this, open cartons bearing names, sizes of families, addresses, etc. To each and every one who contributed in any way, God bless you abundantly! We can be your hands, but we cannot do it alone! Sunday, Dec. 20, will be delivery day for the Christmas baskets. We'll have complete details soon. God bless you! M.G. New Record On Loan At City Library Nostalgic songs and original compositions are featured in a 33-1-3 RPM stereo record, "The Times of Your Life", now available on loan from McHenry Public library. The Up With People group has performed in­ ternationally and is looked upon as typical of the world youth community. A number of songs such as "We Are Many, We Are One," "There's Gonna Be Another Day", and an original composition, "Part of the Picture", are included. The flip side features songs by Paul Anka ("Times of Your Life") and other standards such as "Green, Green Grass of Home" and "Sunrise, Sunset" from "Fiddler on the Roof". the simple fact that the only way to do something is to get up and do it. No amount of analyzing your past, figuring out the cause of your problems or berating yourself will result in action. You can, for example, talk to yourself about how you should start an exercise program for the next 20 years without actually doing anything. Talking to yourself is a totally different behavior than exercising. You either do something or you don't, there is no in between. Action npw is the only way procrastinatic come Just 116 years after it began as a convenience for Civil war soldiers, the Postal money order continues to serve the money-mailing public. Sending cash through the mail was a risky un­ dertaking during the war, Postmaster LeRoy M. Smith said. "Many families were dependent upon the ser­ vicemen's income, so Congress set out to devise a safe method to transmit funds." The result was Postal money orders, which started Nov. 1, 1864. The stated purpose was "to promote public convenience, and to insure greater security in the transfer of money..." The response was im­ mediate, Postmaster Smith said. During the first eight months, money orders sold at 141 selected post offices totalled more than $1.3 million. The maximum amount for a Postal money order then was $30. As demand grew, the service was extended to all post offices, and the maximum increased to $100. That value remained for more than 100 years until it was changed to $300 in 1975. It was increased to $400 in 1978, and is scheduled to go to $500 in 1981. Postmaster Smith said money order popularity continues to be based on security. Of the more than 100 million orders issued in Fiscal 1980, only about 1 in 100,000 was involved in fraudulent payment. No insurance is necessary when sending money orders. There's a refund for loss or theft for up to 20 years after a money order is Postmaster Smith said that during the past year approximately 3,100 money order were issued at the McHenry Post office. He added that money order information may be obtained at the Post Office or by calling 385-0816. Skia Breather The Lake Titicaca frog high in the Andes Mountains doesn't normally use its lungs to breathe. The creature's baggy skin con­ tains thousands of blood vessels that absorb oxygen directly from the water into the blood­ stream. Working Elephants Though tractors sre being in­ troduced in Thailsnd to skid logs from forest to mill, about 2,700 elephant loggers are still at work, many spending up to 50 years on the job. • • • • Planning for the future is the best way to improve the future. Drug, Alcohol Abuse: Facing The Problems The first problem in fighting teenage drug and alcohol abuse is admitting that a problem exists, ac­ cording to the superin­ tendent of a school district that this year made such an admission. After a series of incidents involving substance abuse, the Bloomington public schools faced the issue head- on, Supt. George C. Stimeling said recently. Stimeling and a panel of others involved in the Bloomington program discussed their efforts at the annual conference of the Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB). "It took courage for the Bloomington board of education to admit there was a serious problem and to seek the community's support in dealing with it," Stimeling said. "But when the board pointed out the problem and asked for s u p p o r t , c o m m u n i t y response was gratifying." Stimeling outlined a program that includes parenting workshops, a l t e r n a t e a c t i v i t i e s f o r troubled youngsters and peer counseling, as well as i n t e r i m s u r v e i l l a n c e measures at the com­ munity's schools. "The police activities are just band-aids while we look for a cure," Stimeling emphasized. "We think we've taken significant steps toward doing that." One important element in the program is the Bloomington-Normal TLC (teenage liquor control) committee. One of the founders, Pat Oien of Bloomington, offered advice for a community starting a similar group. "It takes a group of dedicated volunteers - just a few people willing to stick with the project. It's very difficult in the beginning to marshal support," she warned. "No one wants to admit there is a problem." The voluhteer core group should meet with community leaders- school superin­ tendent, board members, chief of police and other officials- to discuss the problems, Mrs. Oien told delegates. "Finally, the group should zero in on one particular problem-such as better enforcement of drinking age laws," she said. From that kind of beginning, she said, the four- year-old TLC committee has become involved in such activities as providing workshops in cooperation with the Operation Snowball anti-drug abuse program, raising scholarship money to send youngsters to pear- counseling workshops, and offering parent training. IASB is a voluntary association of more than 900 school boards created to help boards solve problems and improve performance. SECTION 2 - PAGE 5 - PLAIN DEALER - WEDNESDAY.

Various bacteria found in the Southern Hemisphere in muddy sediments under both fresh and salt water near Christchurch, New Zealand, and Hobart, Australia, swim in a southerly direction using the earth's mag­ netic field for orientation. This is the first time south-swimming bacteria have been reported. Bacteria that always head north were discovered in the Northern Hemisphere in 1973. r Entire Line f Bobbie Brooks Co-ordinates Our Entiro lino of Buss Togs Co-ordinatos 20% OFF Regular Prices Stylish |unlor sportswear for the active woman Classic stylo makos Bobblo Brooks Co-ordinatos a quality choico.
