The first 60 pages of the book recount hear- tache at the absence of their lov- ed ones and their unsuccessful attempts to get visitation rights as grandparents despite jail and courtroom experiences during a long divorce and custody trial. ‘Raw Deal Courthouse” is a poem he included in the book to illustrate his feelings. The rest of the book offers sound advice to married couples. Another chapter deals with children denied their rights and heritage of seeing their families, another is about grandparents who he terms ‘‘graduates of the school of hard knocks.” One chapter by Mrs. Wilson contains questions most asked her by children in her day care center. When a divorce occurs in a fami- ly, children and adults are filled with questions. ‘‘Does the freedom torch burn for everyone including children 12 and under and our aging citizens?” he asks in one chapter in which Wilson urges people to stand up for and speak out in behalf of the young and aged. Bible teachings con- cerning marriage and anchors that hold, such as faith, hope and love are topics explored in several chapters. The Wilsons, hoping to organize Social Improvements for the Young and Aged Chapters in every state they visit, write on how to organize such chapters as a working force within a legal framework. There are 10,000 documented cases, they say. NOW OPEN! THE ALTERATION PLAGE 739-0312 Located on Highway 216 between Cherryville and Kings Mountain. LOOK FOR OUR SIGN!
