Clan Monroe to Hold Reunion Sunday
at Newly Completed Bensalem Church
The Clan Monroe, holding its
annual reunion Sunday at Bensa
lem. Presbyterian Church, will see
a new church which has risen
during the past year on the site
of the old. '
The pioneer Scottish family,
which has branched out into
many states, has always held its
homecomings here. But a year
and a half ago the church, more
than 100 years old, to which a
new Sunday School annex had
just been built, was destroyed by
fire. When the Clan met one year
ago, only the foundation of a new
church had been laid.
The congregation has worked
hard and now the new church is
nearly completed, with only a
few finishing touches remaining
to be put on the sanctuary, and
the grounds to be cleared.
The reunion will start with a
worship service at 11 a. m., with
Paul Monroe of Pinehurst giving
the message, since Bensalem has
no pastor at present. He will
speak on "‘The Layman and His
Duties.”
An old-fashioned picnic dinner
will be served on the grounds at
noon, with an informal program
to be held later. Miss Alberta
Monroe of West End, historian,
will speak on the family history.
Miss Blanche Monroe of West,
End is president.
Some 300 persons are expected
from the Sandhills section, other
parts of North Carolina and other
states, including Maryland, Penn
sylvania, West Virginia, Tennes
see, South Carolina and Florida.

Most parents want to know
more about what they can do
to help their children who are
in school. This is the third of
a series of articles prepared
by the National Education As
sociation.
If you are often baffled by your
child’s behavior, there is a prac
tical “psychologist” as close to
you as your child’s school. It is his
teacher.
The average elementary teacher,
during a 30-year career, will live
with, work with, and love more
than 1,000 children. How many
parents can claim that amount of
experience? Even before they
start their teaching careers, teach
ers receive extensive training in
child psychology. They leam to
recognize the danger signals of
potential delinquency. They learn
that a reading difficulty may be
the result of an emotional prob
lem, and how to recognize a
gifted child hiding behind a smoke
screen of apathy. They leam what
characteristics a child reveals at
different age levels.
From their extensive knowlejlge
of children—a combination of
their practical experience and
broad training—America’s teach
ers, through the National Educa
tion Association, offer the follow
ing practical pointers to parents:
2 to 5 Years Old
Teachers can usually “spot”
those young.sters who • have had
few opportunities to play with
children their own age. Pre
schoolers who play with other
children before school starts ad
just more quickly to school life.
If your child has had few chances
to play with others, invite child
ren to your home or take him to
parks and playgrounds.
If your child is accustomed to
being away from home and moth
er, he will find it much easier to
adjust to school. Kindergarten and
first-grade teachers suggest that
you leave him with friends or re
latives occasionally, before school
starts—for several hours, a whole
day, or overnight. Leaving home
to go to school will come as a
pleasant experience rather than
a psycological shock.
6 lo 10 Years Old
Teachers know that parents can
increase their child’s mental alert
ness, during the early elementary
school years. You can do this by
exposing your child to a rich va
riety of family activities. Take
him on trips, to children’s plays
and concerts. Expose him to good
art, surround him with many
books and magazines.
Do not compare his behavior or
school work with that of his class
mates or his brothers and sisters.
Children develop at different
rates of speed. Each has his own
rate of growth and maturity.
Your child may be a slow devel
oper. Look for ways to help and
encourage him.
11 to 17 Years Old
Students in junior high school
want to know the “why”of what
they are learning. Teachers advise
parents to encourage family dis
cussions on a variety of topics,
and to make a point of tracking
down the facts behind general
statements. Your youngster will
enjoy airing his opinions, and he
will be learning to think critically,'
and to check facts.
Teen agers often discuss their
life plans with teachers and
friends, rather than with parents.
Don’t feel left out and resentful
if this happens to you.
Visit your youngster’s teachers
and counselors, and find out how
you can help him make these
irrportant decisions. Turning to
outsiders for advice is normal at
these ages.

BEAUTIFULLY BUILT TO TAKE CARE OF ITSELF
The 1961 Ford introduces a whole new concept of what a car can do for
you . . . and for itself.'

keep the ’61 Ford freshly greased for 30,000 miles. It cleans its own oil.
The 1961 Ford’s Full-Flow oil filter lets you go 4,000 miles between
oil changes.
It adjusts its own brakes. A “mechanical brain’’ keeps brakes adjusted
for the life of the lining.
Rust? Ford’s body is specially processed to resist corrosion, even to
galvanizing body panels beneath doors.
Ford takes care of itself on the turnpike, too, with a new 3^-cu. in.
Thunderbird Special V-8 that has all the punch you’ll ever need. The
352 Thunderbird Special V-8 and 292 Thunderbird V-8 thrive on fegular
gae. And, for top economy, you can choose the ’61 Mileage Maker Six.
This is the 1961 Ford . . . beautifully proportioned to the Classic Ford
Look . . . beautifully built to take care of itself. «« wv**.
