WHAT TO USE?

Farmers Flee Reds;
Seek Work, Homes
On American Farms

Many American farmers can
solve their labor problems and
provide homes taken from skill
ed European farmers by the
Communists, according to the
Displaced Persons Commission
of the federal government.
Rigidly tested on their prac-
teal farming experience, the
Europeans are of German origin,
have been thrown off their farms
by the Communists and are will
ing to start at the bottom as
American farm workers. Known
as Volksdeutsche farmers, they
are descended from stock that
has titled the soil since the fifth
century, Their German fore
fathers settled centuries ago in
countries that are now behind
the Iron Curtain.
There are more than 1000
families and single persons who
were substantial farmers before
they heard a knock on their door,
often in the night, and opened
it to be thrown out by Com
munists who wanted the pro-
perty. They are dairymen, poul-
trymen, cattlemen, wheat and
corn farmers, truck farmers and
hog raisers.
Many Volksdeutsche come
from the Ukraine where they
learned to operate American
wheel and crawler tractor and
more popular combines. Some
were prisoners of war who act
ually have worked on farms in
England, France and the United
States.
Applicants to come to the
United States are asked such
questions as: How old is a gilt
before she can be bred?" ''How
deep does corn have to be plant
ed?" How far will tractor run
on liter of gas?"
Men who questioned them are
county agents and farmers from
Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin and
Minnesota. The Midwesterners
reported, when We finish with
our interviews and certify that
the expellee is a farmer with
certain kinds of experience, you
can be quite sure he is the kind
of farmer so classified"
One man interviewed was a
fourth-generation German of a
family that owned and operated
140-acre grain farm and vine
yard in Rumania before the Com
munists came. One night the
! Reds gave the family an hour in
which to get out. The family
wants to return to farming-in
America. When told he would
( have to start at the bottom as a
farm laborer, the man replied,
Il recognize that, just as my
ancestors did, but the soil of
America will offer my children
liberty and opportunity"
Now he is a construction work
er. Many others have become
masons, carpenters and craft
workers since they were evicted
from their farms and fled from
behind the Iron Curtain. The
interviewerS said, 'These men
are versatile and fit in with the
jack-of-all trades abilities of
American farmers"
Many Volksdeutsche are single
farm boys, 81 to 35 years of age.
Besides farm workers and fam
lilies, there are farm domestics,
housekeepers, vegetable and fruit
gardeners, orchardists and land
scape workers.

ing a Volksdeutsche farmer

Commission, Washington Is, D.

DISCIPLINE is too often thought
of as punishment, . said Mrs. Warren
S. Funk at the Family Life confer
ence held at Montana State college,
July 1921. Mrs. Funk who is par
ent consultant with a radio station
at Sioux Falls, S. p, was one of
three specialists who lectured at the
conference. Mrs. Lydia Ann Lynde,
parent education specialist with the
USDA and DR.. G. Jay Skidmore,
marriage counsellor at Utah State
college at Logan were the other two
specialists.
Discipline is better defined as a
teaching and guiding process, show
ing child when to go as well as
when to stop. The eventual goal of
discipline is self-discip1ine so that
the child will be able to decide for
himself to do the acceptable thing.
Since the advent of child guidance
around 1920, when it was realized
that children have special needs of
their own much different from those
of an adult, there has been an about
face in discipline Parents have
changed from being very harsh to
being completely lax and are now
swinging back trying to find mid
die way which will meet the needs
of both the child and the parent.
Lawsuits With Childhood
''Most of us spend too much time
carrying on lawsuits with our own
childhood" Mrs. Funk quoted from
DR.. Mary Langmuir, chairman of the
Child Study Assn. Without realizing
it, parents may be OVERLAP or over
harsh with their own children be-
cause of the kind of discipline used
in their own childhood.
1t is important to uphold your au-
thority in disciplining child. DOM

same time, make sure that the chile

what he can and can't do so that he
won't be punished for doing some
thing he didn't know he wasn't sup
posed to do.

Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-08-15

forget how long it took to get that
way and expect small children to act
as we do.
When TO Begin
''When does discipline begin?" was
a question brought up at the con-
ference Actually it begins at birth.
The child is made to wear clothes,
and is exposed to all of the outside
unpleasantness unknown to him be-
fore birth. Before the first birthday,
little can be done in training child,
although in the second six months
some limitations must be placed upon
him. 1t is after the first birthday that
he begins to learn what is permitted
and what isn't. There is quite a gap
between what the active, wriggling,
noisy pre-school child wants to do
and what parents want him to do.
Parents need to realize that his
sometimes irritating activities are a
part of his growing up process.
Strangely enough, parents some
times think that children should be
punished for not being able to take
punishment. There are natural re-
sentiments and hurt feelings after
punishment Furnishing a child for
his feelings is particularly unjust.
You can imagine how an adult would
feel if he got cut in salary because
of his resentment at not getting a
raise when he thought he deserved
one.
Disciplining Methods
Mrs. Funk gave five disciplining
methods sometimes used which often
hinder rather than help. They were:
/. Spanking
2. Threats
8. Deprivation or reward
4. Getting child to do something
to please parents
5. Reasoning
While she did not advocate COM
pletely doing away with spanking,
Mrs. Funk said that so often much
more effective method of disciplin-
ing can be used. Spanking often
gives the child sense of confusion
and injustice, because it is a spur-of-
the-moment type of punishment. He
doesn't know why he is being pun,
ished.
The use of threats often causes thu
child to lose trust in his parents be

Training Available
For CoIored Veterans

The Saints Industrial school at
Lexington has been approved to
operate the Adult Education pro-
gram and will begin this training
for colored veterans of World War
II on July Is, according to E. c.
Sample, district supervisor.
The program is conducted by
the State Department of Educa-
ton under contract with the Vet
Grams administration on a nom
profit basis. 1t has been in op-
Grafton in the state for the past
three years and has schools in all
but a few counties in the state.
The elementary course consists
of the basic school subjects (read-
ing, writing, arithmetic, English
and spelling), through the eighth
grade. Veterans completing this
course are eligible to enter the
high school course and continue
training there.
The program will operate on a
half-time basis, the veterans
drawing one-half subsistence and
the classes will meet at night at
ter working hours. Its purpose
is to allow those veterans lacking
in formal education an opportuni-
ty to continue their education
where left Off Thus, they will
better prepare themselves for the
future, and at the same time con-
tinue their present jobs.
All veterans interested who
have not already made applica
ton for this training, should con-
tact the secretary of the Saints
Industrial school whose office is
in the Jones building on the cam
pus, according to Mr. Sample.
AS July IS, 1851, is the dead
line for any veteran to enter train
ing it is urgent that they act i'm
mediately in order to get approx
ed and commence training by
July Is, he said.
For veterans living in the area
of Durant, there is already an
Adult Education program in OPP
Grafton in the Holmes County
Training school. Those veterans
should contact Prof. J. l.. Sulli-
van at Durant, Mr.. Sample said.
