PTA Study Course A Success But Disappointing The Study Course Thursday Afternoon and Evening at the High School Library and Starnes Auditorium was a great success for those parents who attended, but very disappointing that such a small number of parents were present. Miss Blanche B. Haley, Field Secretary of the N. C. Congress of Parents and Teachers conduct ed the Course. Even Miss Haley stated that she wondered where all the other interested parents were. She is recognized as an ex pert on Parent Guidance Prob lems, and her subiect was: “Prob lems of Adolescents.” Miss Haley covered the subject of “Problems of Adolescents very thoroughly in the 4 hours of the Study Course. Her approach was from five important constitu ents that make up a well-rounded and normal adolescent: Mental, physical, social, spiritual and emotional. She compared these five requirements to a round wheel with 5 spokes, and proved that if any one or more spokes are out of line, then the wheel is “warped” and will not perform properly. Some of the problems wnicn Miss Haley presented to her au dience which she divided into groups for discussion and with a moderator or spokesman appoint ed from each group to state the probems and the solution are, as follows; What reasons can you give that would account for the fact that teenagers like to drive “hotrods,” why they steal and why they dam age property? , Should you encourage teenag ers “to go steady” or “date stea dy” instead of trying to get them ; to be one of the crowd or group and mingle and associate with | everyone: , Why are teenagers sometimes ashamed of their homes when by adult standards they seem all right to their parents considering the existing circumstances? What can we do to make them satisfied with their homes as they are? The fourth problem was taken from the January issue of Coronet magazine, concerning a teacher counselor to 250 girls in an all girl school. One of the girls be comes pregnant; the girl’s moth er becomes indignant and blames the counselor, stating that the counselor should have given her daughter more time and advice. The mother has provided the dau ghter with a play room in their home, in which there is a bar and semi-nude pictures on the walls. How do you feel about this and what solution would you offer to this problem; what do you feel were the causes for this situation to exist, Could you answer and solve all these problems. These prob lems and questions were solved and answered along with many more. Those of you who did not attend this Study Course missed a great deal of useful informa tion and advice.

Costner of Lincoln ton has returned to his office at the Reeves Gamble Hospital as of January 1st to do general prac tice with special attention to diseases of children. All things will work out for those who wait, or give me a deadline and I’ll come through, are familiar saying for tnose sud denly confronted with a dead line. The deadline , emphasis , here isn’t applied to CherrvVillites who failed to reach the tax office to list their taxes by February 1st. From the tax listing office of Steve Stroup comes the good news thusly: Tax listing has been ex tended until February 20, at 12 noon. That’s the good word, hut many people made a last minute rush to the office of Mr. fit roe pe which resulted in “swamping” of the office last week: “We had a big rush all last week,” commented tax lister Stjoupe. A word of advice from the tax man, “Come early and avoid the rush.” Everyone in the county is re quired to list all personal and real property for tax purposes. An exemption of $300 for necessary wearing apparel and household furniture is allowred. There is, however, no allowance tor such items as watches, golf equipm it, furs, TV sets, radios, record play ers, washing machines, sewing machines, dish washers and dia mond rings. If you are unfortunate enough to be a male between the ag‘*« of 21 and 50 years, you must,,fay the poll tax, and if you owr a dog you must pay $1 on males and $2 on females.
