Good manners are simple courtesies such as "please," "thank you" and "excuse me." Whatever courtesies one decides are important to teach children, the essential part is caring and consideration, points out Growing child, the monthly child development newsletter. A child's manners help her develop desirable attitudes as well as reflect her attitudes towards others. The child who is trained to say "please" and "thank you" may not, at age three, be any more considerate than a child who has not been taught these courtesies. But as her good manners bring her praise and smiles, she becomes pleased with herself. This in turn makes her feel more friendly toward others. Through the practice of good manners she begins to develop the at­ titudes which courtesy should reflect. Happiness is coping with stress Learning how to cope with stress can result in a healthier and happier person. If given a choice, remember that one doesn't have to enter a situation which has the potential for producing stress, such as office politics. See things in perspective. Six months from now, what difference will this situation WARNING *1 MUSI BE CAPTURED BY DECEMBER 3RD FOR GUARANTEED CHRISTMAS DELIVERY CALL 385 0093 FOR AN APPT. NIES STUDIO These attitudes and the learned courtesies are further reinforced as the child sees them practiced by her parents. She acepts her parents' valuation of others as in­ dividuals worthy of con­ sideration and she adopts the outward forms which are the reflection of this attitude. Thus the child learns to ex­ press appreciation in ways which are pleasant to others. She learns to make her desires known considerately. She learns good manners in much the same way that she learns to share and take turns. These, too, are ways of expressing the same attitudes of care and consideration.

Eating out .... Steak is costly McHENRY Ohut3 TONIGHT AT KRISTOF'S CIRKUS 1 JAZZ TRIO • 9 PM to 1 AM • No cover • No minimum WATCH FOR MORE LIVE ENTERTAINMENT! KRISTOF'S CIRKUS 21/2 Miles North of McHenry on Rte. 31 (Just post Johnsburg Rood) (•1S)MS-7955 W ' - : " Steak houses are all-American favorites and one can find them in any American city. In the old days, when steak was less ex­ pensive, one could enjoy an inch- thick sirloin for five or six dollars. At a recent steak house in a city of about 50,000, the writer was offered a choice of rib eye and strip sirloin at $1.10 per ounce. That is, if one ordered an eight-ounce steak, it would cost $8.80. With that went a very elaborate salad bar, bread and butter and tea, coffee or milk. An eight- ounce steak is a half- pound steak. After being cooked (it's weighed before, of course), it's perhaps six ounces. That's enough for lunch or for most people at dinner-but not enough for the traditional he- man steak eater. He would have to pay $13.20 for a twelve-ounce cut. That's still only three- fourths of a pound, before cooking. He would pay $17.20 for a pound steak. This, of course, is prime beef, not choice. Nevertheless, one can get a pound of prime beef for a lot less than that in most meat markets-and that's about a fourth of the steak house restaurant price. 1 From this, it's easy to see that when eating out, steak is not the economical buy-unless one has no concern for the pocketbook. Or one can go to chain eateries which offer good steaks at low prices. ithe uestelm 4506 WEST ELM ST. McHENRY, ILL.
