Shoplifting Adds To Customer Costs Most of us arc ? i of Hr ?w ms c> aio, on or by ported ? tter stores da? liwplifai i tec iukmu coax Qocacti from the Iw. They add that the mrthnui of dolan of shoplifted gooits only add to the price that ho? rt shop pers must pay when they boy goods. It is good that mcrr.haan try to vara everyone about the conse quences of violating a Thnphfting law. North Carolina has a very strong law against shophftmg. it provides great pcotccuan for Mer chants who try to apprehend aad prosecute shoplifters. Tough shoplifting laws, however, have not always been with us. Prior to 1957 ta North Carolina, anyone suspected of shoplifting was charged with con moa law larceny. This crime re quired proof of larcenous intent, as well as a wrongful taking. As a practical matter, storcowners had Lmw For Li uymuwy >r **? ?

The difficulties inherent ia alo?a| the shoplifter to leave the store before stopping hint and the posstbtbibes of a suit for nhcioai prosecution, fabe imprisonment ad Uk arrest paralysed many aaerchants. Some just stood by and watthtd thtv property disappear uithua* a Mr, legally protected opportunity to protect it. la 1997, the North Carolina General Assembly acted to make it mack easier for a merchant to con vict a person of shoplifting. New section 14-72.1 of the General Statutes provides that if a person, without authority, willfully con ceals goods or merchandise before he purchases them, he shall be guil ty of a misdemeanor. Upon conviction, be may be pmbtod by a fine of not more than $100 or by imprisonment for not more than six months, or by both such fine or such imprison The difference between the old law and the new law is significant. Presently in North Carolina, if a person conceals goods on his per son in a store without paying for them, he is guilty of shoplifting. He no longer has to leave the store. No larcenous intent is required, and the storekeeper need only show that the person "willfully" concealed the goods. The new law provides that the mere concealing of goods on the person without paying for them will make out a good case of willful concealment. A word to the wise for all shop pers is to keep out in the open all goods that you have not paid for. Put them in a shopping basket where everybody can see them or hold them only in your hands. Do not put them in your pocketbook or stuff them in a pocket because you will be setting yourself up for a very serious charge of shoplifting.

" Hard To Break Cats Of Canned Food Habit Dear Doctor: My question is how do you break a cat from eating only canned cat food? My cat currently eats about a can dur ing the course of a day. 1 would like to feed him scraps from the table and occasionally canned cat food. He also won't eat dried cat food. Have tried to break his eating habits but with tittle success, he just meow's all day. HELP?! Answer: Once cats devetop a taste for a canned food, k is dif ficult to get them to eat dry food. Adult cats generally eat the same texture of food that they were ex posed to as a kitten. Another possible cause of eating only cann ed food may be either gum or den tal problems resulting in mouth soreness when eating dry food. If yo*ir cat b ow fh? years of tgt 1 suggest having its teeth checked by yow veterinarian. You and Your Pet If they areotay. then stan mak ing changes in its food. At the beginning mix Ins most favorite flavor of dry food with the canned and graduaUjr decrease the canned food until yo*? are feeding mostly dry. Adding some water to the drv food may help. Abo, yon may ex periment with feeding scene semi moist foods mixed with the canned food. If at any bone he doesn't cat die food prepared for him on the first day. refrigerate it overnight and *{im|w School ltsstn Backgroaad Scriplirt: Luke 22:1-23. Drrotioaal Rtadiag: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 A widow sits and stares at the four wails of her one-room apart - men i, jwst m At has for d? past 10 oMWths since tier huatwd ied. Friends have been "kind" to her and tried to be supportive, but no matter how well-intentioned these efforts have been, she feels all alone and aches in loneliness. A middle aged father cries alone in his bedroom mourning the loss of his "little girl," a young woman still not out of her teens. Extremely close ever since his wife, the girl's mother, talked out of their life when the daughter was only five years old. he feels utterly "crush ed" by her announcement that she is quitting college and going off to live with a young man whom the father is certain will rum her life. These are only two examples of the wounds *e experience in life. The situations may vary widely, but the results are the same: feel ings of unreplaceable loss, of un quenchable gnef. unresolved bit terness. unbearable loneliness, and unremitting pain There may seem to be no possible cure to heal these rounds. With no one to really understand what we are feeling and to share it with us, we may begin to dispair of life itself. It is this mood which seems to hang over the Upper Room when, as Luke puts it. "the hour came" and Jesus "sat at table and the apostles with him." At that table. along with Jesus and the 12, there was fear, distrust, dismay, and betrayal. Jesus probably knev that his very hours *?t numbered, that Judas had bet raxed him. and that the other do en apostles would scatter tike frightened sheen before the night was o*er. As in the lives of so many of ?. Jesus, too, ex perienced the coming of a fateful "hour" that would test his soul. Yet. somber and fearful as was that Upper Room gathering, there was also a light to shine in that darkness. And the hght that Jesus offered them (and us) is more than enough to dispel any darkness that falls upon us. For e>en in the darkest hours, just as Jesus offered an unbreakable fellow-ship to his disciples, so he offered us that same oneness with him, that same communion that assures us that, no matter what the circumstances may be. *e are one with him and he with us. Thus we need now face the wounds of hfe alone. The t>ond between Christ and ourselves will enable us to meet and conquer any of life's most painful blows. "Holy Communion" is not just something that happens ia church when we share the Lord's Supper. It ts a fact of Kfe wuh Christ and the ritual ks only a reminder to open our h\es and Vet Christ share them. The bread and the cup speak to us of hrs sacrificial self-gmng which, in one way or another, is sufficient to meet all our deficien cies. The bond that links us to Christ will bear any load - if we want it to. offer h a second day. This techni que does not always work but it is a start in the right direction. Dear Doctor: I'm writing you concerning my two dogs; one a datson, one a manchester, which we have had many years and love them very much. In fact, they are not treated like dogs - more like children. The dotson wets some on the furniture when we go off for a while and the manchester gets up and digs on the furniture. What can 1 do to stop this? They are real dean dogs in other ways. Answer: I think both dogs are getting upset at you for leaving them alone. Also, they do these things to get special attention when you get home even though it may not be very nice attention. Some male dogs will urinate in the house to mark their territory. If these habits have persisted for a long period of time they may be difficult to correct. The first suggestion is to stay away from home for a very short period of time and if neither dog has "done bad." then give both of them a special treat. But if either dog did wrong let them know you are unhappy about the situation by ignoring them and telling them they are "bad dogs." If the reward technique works then stay away from home for longer periods of time. If none of the above is effective, then strict confinement while you are away is the only answer.
