Risks High In Trying To Hold On To Child Our world has taught us to acquire, but not to let go. So when children prepare to leave home, some parents face an upsetting ordeal. "Start preparing early," advise extension human development specialists at North Carolina State University. "Learn to let go as your children grow." Recognize a child's individuality. And provide experiences that will teach your children independence and how to say goodbye. Teach your child to share his toys with others. Help him package his outgrown clothes to give to less fortunate children. And go with him to say goodbye to friends who leave town. You can't control children all of their lives, the specialists observe. So don't try to relive your childhood through them. In the long run, you may do more harm than good, for your child may wind up living for you and delaying his own maturity, the specialist cautions. So prepare ahead for that time when your children announce they're leaving home —for college, marriage or a stint in the military. If you've learned to let go all along, the adjustment process won't be so difficult.

Observance Of Men's Day Set Rv BARBARA COOKE Baptist Men's Day is an annua] event in the Southern Baptist Convention. Sunday. Jan. 23 is the designated Sunday for Baptist laymen to fill all leadership roles in their local churches. The men of Norlina Baptist Church will observe their day beginning; with breakfast at 8 a. m. The Sunday School classes will he taught by men and the preacher and organist will step down for qualified laymen to preach and to accompany all singing. Both services, morning and evening, will be led bv laymen presiding, leading in prayer, reading scripture and singing special music. Christianity is basically a lay movement, whose strength and lasting nature, is in its laymen. Thus it is appropriate to have a special day of recognition and to allow fellow Christians to experience a service whose precedent is scriptural in that men of God proclaimed, taught and sang to draw fellowmen closer to God.

Mrs. Elizabeth Frasier, Consultant in Early Childhood Education, from Durham, conducted the sessions. Using poetry, finger plays, a film, and the tape recorder, she stressed that listening, speaking and following directions were the most basic skills in a child's development. Children begin learning these skills at home at an early age. She also stressed the importance of children's questions being answered with a reason rather than "because I said so." Each parent was given the opportunity to make a game to use at home with her child. Sponsored by ESEA Title I and ESEA Title IV-C, parent workshops focusing on summer activities will highlight the April sessions.
