For The People by Bernadette W. Hoyle Public Information Officer N. C. State Board of Public Welfare “Public welfare helps pro tect individuals and families against potential or actual economic disaster and helps them find the means to regain economic and social self-suf ficiency in times of individual and family crises.” —Dr. Ellen Winston, Commissioner Mr. D. was a tenant farmer who, although he had never accumulated any savings, had provided a decent living for his wife and nine-year-old son. When he became physically HOT DO-NUTS MADE FRESH DAILY Buy ‘Em By The Dozen Do-Nut Shop 125 Cherry Street disabled because of a serious heart condition and could no longer work, the family sit uation became acute. One by one he sold his possessions— his farm equipment and his two good mules. Then, when all his resources were deplet ed. he applied to the county department of public welfare for help. It was possible, because of his physical disability, for the family to receive an aid to dependent children grant, which helped maintain them. Mr. D. died suddenly and Mrs. D., who suffered acutely from elephantiasis of both legs, was unable to shoulder the re sponsibility of making a liv ing for herself and the son. The aid to dependent child ren grant was continued, and the son, now 14 years of age and a healthy and strong boy, was able to do heavy farm work. He worked after school and during t h e summer months, and slowly their standard of living improved. Piece by piece he bought much needed articles of furn iture for the home. When he reached the age of 18. the aid to dependent children payment w;as term inated in accordance with law. The boy had one year of high school to complete.

Mrs. D. was granted a small pay ment under the program of aid to the permanently and totally disabled. The son was ambitious to go to college, but had no idea how he could secure the money to fulfill this goal. He talked with his teachers, prin cipal. neighbors, and case worker from the county de partment of public welfare. The caseworker told him that the public welfare department would help with his plan, and work was started towards se curing a scholarship for him. Eighteen months elapsed dur ing which the caseworker, through determined effort, was finally able to help him get enough money through scholarships for his first year in college. At present he is a junior, and although neither he nor the county department of public welfare is sure that he can secure scholarships to see him through the next two years, the agency has every reason to believe that with his continued determination, hard work, and good college record, he will graduate in 1964. Because an aid to depend ent children grant enabled him to remain in school until he finished high school, in stead of quitting to take a laborer’s job. this boy was able to set his sights on col lege. As a college graduate he will be in a position to make a good living and pro vide for his mother. At the same time he will be a con tributing. tax-paying citizen all because of a few years of help and guidance from the public- welfare program. Coast Guard Seeks Officers The Commandant, l'. S.

PHONE 669-8382 SCHOOL AND YOUR CHILD Appalachian State Teachers College How to Beat "The Everybody Does" Argument Kids can be master psychol ogists. Many quickly learn to get their way by using the old “Everybody else does — why can’t I” argument, acknow ledges Dr. J. Edward Harrill, director of guidance and counseling services at Appal achin State Teachers college, Boone. Parents might well recogn ize that conformity, whether desirable or undesirable to them, is likely the result of peer influence, say Dr. Harrill. Seventh grader Jane, for example, wanted to date a ninth grade boy. Her parents felt she was too young. But Jane plead emotionally that parents of girl friends her age permit them to date. Why must she be different and an outcast? Jane’s mother and father realize that group blackballing can be harmful to an adoles cent. Not wanting their daughter to be hurt, they con sented to her dating even though they didn't approve. Ironically, Ihe other par ents were in an identical pre dicament. They had given permission for the same reason. Appalachian’s Dr. Harrill states that need for better communication between par ents is clearly evident here. They should come together as a group and establish stand ards for their youngsters. Is it not possible for par ents to perceive life as re bellious fluctating adolescents see it—and vice versa? Such an understanding would render ineffective the “everybody else does” phy chology. Both parties—child ren and parents—would be happier. Knowing their bounds, the youngsters would be satisfied to enjoy activities natural for their age. Parents would en joy group reinforcement of their child-bearing convictions. Many parents groups have taken this approach. A suc cessful one is the Parents’ League in Charlotte. The league, composed of dues-paying parents of sixth to twelfth graders, even pub lished their standards in a booklet called “Let’s Agree” Here's what the Charlotte mothers and fathers agreed upon: They had overslressed the social in the past, causing their children to begin adult type doings prematurely, a finding consistent with the views espoused by Dr. Robert J. Havighurst of the Univers ity of Chicago. They found that activities formerly belonging solely to college were brought down to high school level. High school type aetvities were exper ienced in grammar grades. Their offspring were “con fused by being swept into the eddies of sophisticated life too soon”. The age-old saying still held: “You can’t go against nature. It has an orderly process of growth by stages; for proper maturing, no one stage is rushed”. Parental zeal to give child ren “everything” has really meant “everything that money can buy”. Prosperity had made us slight those values which money can't buy. This group of parents con cluded that their teenagers are wonderful people. The mothers and fathers were themselves at fault. To curb the hothouse forc ing of their children, they established these and other guidelines: Dating: Double dating and group get-togethers should not by John Corey Education Department be permitted before grade nine. Girls in grades ten through twelve will occas ionally want to date a boy a year older. But too wide an age span is inadvisable. Dances and parties: May begin in grade eight (but most parents preferred grade nine). Elaborate parties should wait until college. Discourage formal dress. Spend-the-night parties in large groups are inadvisable because they often deteriorate into unhealthy all night sessions. Hours: Agreement should be reached beforehand by parents and youngsters as to a reasonable lapse of time between the end of a social event and time of arrival at home. A child’s reputation can suffer from the late me andering habit. Driving: A privilege to be earned by responsible driving and conduct. Clubs: Ban any semblance of secret competition for mem bership. Dress: Girls should under stand that simplicity of dress and makeup indicate good taste. Omit corsages until boys can earn money to buy them. Bermuda shorts aren't “de rigueur” for all functions. Mixed affairs: Desire for these more naturally arises in grade nine. If their energies aren't expended before this grade, parents will enter the I interesting phase with enthus iasm. not with the fatigue of discharging an oft-repeated duty. League members all agreed that “standards are only as good as the parents who up hold them”. For a complete list of the league’s standards for sixth to twelfth graders, write Mrs. J. L. Highsmith Parents’ League, Charlotte. N. C.

Veterans News Here are authoritative an swers by the Veterans Admin istration to questions from former servicemen and their families: Q-I have heard that many veterans and widows are not iakin« advantage of VA P«J ion plans that would give Tern more money’ Is that true? A_yes Apparently thous ands do not fully understand the new pension law and the VA is still anxious to explain all the faets. Suggest you contact or write to nearest VA office. q_i am in the armed forces overseas and plan to enter training under the War Orph ans Education Program, l understand the VA is author ized to provide transportation at Government expense to and from my place of vocational counseling. How can this be arranged when I am overseas. A_ft cannot be arranged. VA does not provide voca tional counseling overseas nor can travel be authorized back to this country for such coun seling. You should decide where you will go to school when you return to this country. If you then write to a VA regional office near that school, advising when you will be there for counseling, time will be saved in setting up your counseling appointment. q_Do the Veterans Affairs Offices of the State Depart ment act as an overseas arm of the Veterans Administra tion? A_The offices have the function of administering di rectly VA educational and training benefits and VA med ical care and treatment bene fits for eligible veterans in the countries comprising West ern Europe and in Mexico. In addition, the offices furnish information and assistance to veterans, their dependents, and beneficiaries on the full range of veterans matters, as do U. s. embassio sular offices „ ' ;ir>d Cr„ world. eS throuShOmC0;e LISTEN COMMUNITY __A BULLetin BOARD Wbmt Mrs. Coggins' Dining Room 12 Miles West of Black Mountain on Hwy. 7q Open 7 Days a Week FROM 7 A.M.
