in OU|> staff psychologist n«s from the fjfflil) S»rwr« jnd MenUl Mwlth Cl.mc ol McHfm« Count,. (Editor's note: This is another in a series of especially written articles for McHenry County readers. Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family Service and Community Mental Health Center staff. This article is "Coping - Bedwetting") Bedwetting is not con­ sidered a problem unless it occurs frequently after four years of age. In the majority of cases there are no physical findings which can account for the problem, although in serious cases a physical examination is always warranted. There appears to be several reasons why a child will continuously wet the bed and it is important in each individual case to deter­ mine, if possible, the mostJ probably cause. In some instances, the child appears to be overprotected by the parents to the extent that there is an unspoken ex­ pectation that the child will wet the bed. In other cases, it may be an effort on the part of the child to exert an element of control over the parents, a kind of attention getting device. In still other cases it may be an attempt on the part of the child to return to an earlier, more com­ fortable state of develop­ ment. In these cases the child may have been completely trained for a period of time, then suddenly redevelop the bedwetting habit. Often there is a precipitating event, such as the birth of a baby or a move to a new house. Treatment of enuresis varies with the age of the child, the severity of the problem, and the cause of the problem. A punitive approach is seldom effective and may increase the child's feelings of inadequacy to the point that the bedwetting becomes worse. The most effective treatment is usually aimed at modifying some of the environmental factors that may be contributing to the bedwetting. This means working with the parents of the child as well as the child himself. Medication can also be of significant value, but ap­ pears to be much more ef­ fective when combined with counseling sessions. FHASTATE DIRECTOR Secretary of Agriculture John R.

That's the message from Dr. Paul Randolph, president-elect of the Illinois Optometric association. Sunglasses have two major purposes, he notes. They protect the eyes from serious damage by screening out the harmful ultraviolet and infrared rays present in bright or reflected sunlight. Moreover, they provide comfortable vision by reducing glare, the amount of light reaching the eye. When choosing sunglasses, individual needs and preferences play an im­ portant part. Quality sunglasses are available in all lens types - tinted, photochromic or polarizing. Plastic si)nglasses are lighter and more impact- resistant than glass ones, but can scratch more easily. However, neither is shat­ terproof. Both can break depending on the size and velocity of the object that strikes them. For men or women who spend most of their time outdoors or who work on or near the water, a tinted glass lens is recommended to screen out both ultraviolet and infrared rays. All-day exposure to these rays can cause minor eye irritation and prolonged exposure during an extended period of time may result in serious eye damage. However, most consumers do not need this maximum protection. For them, other glass tinted lenses, plastic tinted lenses, or the new, photochromic, sun-sensitive lenses offer adequate protection and comfort, even though they do not screen out infrared rays. In tinted lenses, medium or dark gray shades are best because they do not interfere with color perception. Medium or dark green tints are also satisfactory, but they slightly distort color perception. It's best to avoid blue tints as they seriously interfere with the ability to distinguish the colors of traffic signals. Colors such as orange, purple, rose and lightly tinted lenses may be fashionable, but they should not be considered sunglasses, says the IOA. Sunglass lenses should be dark enough to screen out 75 to 90 percent of the available light. If possible, check the sunglasses outdoors before buying them. If not, follow this rule of thumb. If the eyes are clearly visible through the lens, it is probably not dark enough. Naturally, this rule does not apply to sun sensitive lenses which change density, going from light to dark and back, depending on lighting conditions. Several types are currently available, some of which even change color. r PAGE 13 - PLAINHEALER - WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 19,1961 Light One Candle 1 SERVICE NEWS Arrives For Duty In West Germany Pvt. Shirley A. Irvin, daughter of Robert A. Irvin, of 5922 N Nippersink, Spring Grove, and Barbara Irvin, of 1915 Oak Leaf, McHenry, has arrived for duty at Wer theim, West Germany Miss Irvin, a radio operator with the 3rd In­ fantry division, was previously assigned at Fort Sill, Okla. Willie: What makes you think I 'm stupid? Millie: Well, yester­ day when I said hello, you couldn't think of an answer. By Father John Catoir. Director of The Christophers ONCE UPON A FUTURE "Once upon a time..." How often we heard those words growing up. Time is so relative. I remember as a child thinking that a person 25 years old was ancient. Time is a human notion related to the span of people's lives Time is finite; eternity is infinite. God's knowledge embraces all time and eternity. God knows, loves and enjoys each one of us the way a great artist enjoys one of his masterpieces. God sees the whole work as one, from the planning stage to the finished product, in Him the past, the present and the future are fused. You may be far from complete right now, but God the artist is still at work, and He sees the real you One day you will be finished, a beautiful creation full of joy. Your true identity as a person is more in the future than in the past. The revelation of Jesus is very clear on this. The Lord told us of the Father's kingdom where there are many mansions. To the good thief He said, "This day you will be with Me in paradise." The man was a thief, dying an ignominious death, but his faith altered the meaning of his life and his death \ spirit of repentance lifted the scales of darkenss from his eyes and brought him the gift of everlasting happiness. Once in awhile think of yourself as you will be a thousand years from now. Imagine the real you, free at last. In eternity you will be whole, free of sin, fully alive. The victory of Jesus over sin and death will be vours forever Confirmed in grace, you ill no longer be in danger of losing your soul through sin, you will be in paradise your true country. By His supernatural gifts, God will have made you a new creation Your growth will bring you to a greatness you've never imagined for' God Himself is your Maker Relax once in awhile in the knowledge about >ou» luture It's going t». t>< wonderful. Claim the victory of Jesus Christ as your own, and see yourself as vou are meant to be gentle stioiig kind. generous. self controlled and full ot joy. It will come. The "yet-to-be" you is known to God right now The process be^an at baptism In His mercy Jesus entered your life. He became your true self He is with you as you st. '.n life. 11c alsu .ees you in the future safe in jwuadise loving Him with your whole heart, mind and soul. He sees it all in one Divine Act. Make Jesus the Lord of your life. Repent your sins and try to do better. He will bless you. The peace and joy of God be vsith you. now and forever.
