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.

Awareness Meets
Held In School
Parent awareness workshops
were held last week, January
12 and 13, in all the elementary
schools in Warren County. 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.
Many U.S. baseballs are made
