Dealing With People
With so many things happening
today and wrong things being justi
fied, some people are resorting to
things they actually disapprove.
Everyone should remember to be
?strong and stand for what they feel is
right and best for self satisfaction.
Very often school children are guilty
of- letting their classmates and
friends tell them how to act and wl^t
to say at school.
Adults are very critical of chil
dren for manifesting this kind.ef
weakness. But when we stop to ana
lyze the situation, we find that many
you get terribly upset, and your
thinking becomes cloudy, and you
* wTjJliSVfcr be able to undo the things
that .you have said during the heated
argument.
You will be able to better man
age tjxc situation if you stay calm,
disagree but don't yell.
? Remember that criticism can
be a good thing, and it can also be a
bad thing. Don't always let people
convince you that your actions are
wrong. You might be right, and they
may be wrong. If you make a good
decision and know you are right,

intelligent adults act like small chil
dren when they lose the ability to act
on their own and make mature deci
sions concerning their lives in gen
eral. Some people have cooperated in
the committing of crimes, because
they were too weak to object to what
they know to be wrong.
People who are deathly afraid to
stand up for what they believe to be
right for fear of being criticized
should consider these suggestions
from Dr. Anthony Pietropinto who is
director of mental health at the
Lutheran Center in Brooklyn, New
York. Dr. Pietropinto offered these
tips in a recent new article:
? When dealing with people
who are important or close to you
such as youf boss or your family it is
best to work out a compromise. It is
always wise to weigh the circum
stances.
? Learn to be your own person.
Avoid explaining your behavior all
the time. Don't give in to everyone's
demands,
? Don't lose your temper. People
tend to blow up when they feel they
have lost and things are hopelessly
against them, if you weaken and
start yelling, chances are you will
lose the argument since this aban
dons your initial strategy of standing
your ground as long as youroppo
nent.
? Don't get angry while arguing
with another person? Most times
then stick to it. Example: Someone
may say "Going out to dinner every
weekend is very wasteful." If you
enjoy it and feel that you are saving
money by going out do dinner, then
by all means go out to dinner. After
all you are footing the bill.
When you make up your mind
that in most situations you know
what's the best thing for you, you
don't worry about what others are
going to say and think. Many times
people who want to make their point
and change your position will say
that you are being selfish or unrea
sonable. Don't let them bait you into
replying "I'm not like^hat, and I'll
prove it to you. A far better answer
would be: I must seem that way to *>?
you. This defuses the situation and
lets the person know they are not
annoying or intimidating you.
? Don! try to gain approval by
revealing a secret. Have you ever
been in a group where people were
talking about something, and a
member of the group would reveal a
big secret to gain attention from the
group and have people center atten
tion on what they were saying. Some
people disclose all sorts of personal
things when pressure is put Qn them.
? Don't let people make you feel
responsible for their problenw.J[f '
' you are tdoHmsy to do someOTlf ^ ?fit
? favor, don't let them make you feel
guilty. Recognize that you have your
own life to lead.
Neighborhood Watch Organized
By MARK R. MOSS
Chronicle Staff Writer
- Residents of the Carver School
Road area met on Dec. 7 to con
clude their business with the now
closed game room - the focus, of
many complaints and the scene of a
shooting - and to establish neigh
borhood watch programs.
The Rev. Betty Gaddy, chair
man of the Carver School
Road/Castle Heights Neighborhood
Association, told the gathering of
about 30 people that a petition,
which had not been completed at
the time of the meeting, would be
_ put on file-in case thc game room
changed hands. The petition
expresses the concerns of many of
the area's residents about the game
room.
The game room, at 3 1 1 1 Carver
School Road, opened in October,
and soon became the source of a
number of complaints because of
the crowds it attracted. On Dec. 15,
it was the site of a shooting involv
ing several young men. On Dec. 16,
the owner closed the business.
The main order of business at
the meeting, however, was to kick
off the neighborhood watch pro
grams.
Officer John Stuckenschneider,
from the Winston-Salem Police
Department, introduced the pro
^??m's concept by saying it was
imperative that people "get nosy
with their neighbors." He asked the
audience if they knew their neigh- .
bor's work number, the type of car
they drive, and how to get in touch
with the neighbor in an emergency.
He introduced a slide presenta
tion which offered testimony on the
efficacy of neighborhood watch
programs. Afterwards, Stuckcn
schneider and Capt. Michael
McCoy, also from the city police
department, answered questions
from the audience.
One woman wanted to know
what could be done about all the
traffic she has spotted going in and
out of a neighboring house at all
times of the night. As far as she
could tell nothing illegal was going -
on. but she felt there was. She won
dered if it was right to callvthe
police.
McCoy said there was nothing
wrong with calling the police. In
fact, it was a similar call to the
department that led to a drug bust in
his area, which includes northeast r
Winston-Salem. After the call, his
officers started monitoring the loca
tion, set up surveillance, and even
tually sent in undercover agents to
make a drug buy.
Rev. Gaddy said the next meet
ing will be in March.
