It's Time to Discuss
the Ten Commandments
By MARJORIE HOLMES

The quiz show scandals should give all parents pause
While nagging children about studying and the
desirability of developing the intellect
Numbering to teach them the basic virtues upon which
any wholesome happy existence must be basedP
1t is with some dismay that recall how navely
sat before the amazing so-caed show of knowledge
read Van Dorens inspiring story My Father Gave Me
the Answers" in which he attributed his phenomenal
mental capacities to the intellectual climate of his home
Common garden variety parents were not only inn
pressed but humble And vaguely guilty the many
neglected Of wisdom and appreciation in homes
Were cheating children of the scholarly artistic
food which the spirit grows3
But that the picture has changed it is certainly
no time to feel efrighteous to goa Rather time for
some self-searching.
Are we neglecting something even more important
the teaching of odashioned principles of honor and self
respect and honesty?
1t is far too easy to take such things for granted
Why my child wouldn't ie" is cry to parents
MY child wouldn't steal" After ALL WE are honorable
people we reason And children learn by example the
psychologists tell US.
the example which. however worthy is undramatic and
everyday and easily overlooked with stern old
fashioned precepts9
How long has it been since you discussed with your
children the Importance Of the Ten Commandments?
When was the last time you impressed upon them the
serious consequences of telling lie?
Words have way of lodging into our moral depths
and shaping conduct all lives can wildly re-
member my fathers admontion, Never take anything
InaG doesn't pelong 10 you not even penny Then you'll
never be tempted to take something big"
Or my mothers fiat simple "a lie is too ugly to live
with. Don't try"
We owe our children books and music and trips to the
art gallery yes. But also owe them something more
VITAL code to live by. ftEr

OF naneuvers In the money
markets 1t has been cutting the
availability Of money in the
banking system. II also has just
raised the discount rate anc
has thus given the signal tc
banks to raise their rates or
loans to us. The theory is that
as credit tightens and loans
become more costly, initiation
breeding borrowing and spend
ing programs will be postponed
and pressures on prices will be
curtailed.
Money Demand Rising
simultaneously, the demand
for money is slated to rise
from the Treasury, States.
cities, businessmen, individual
consumers. There are new in
dications that corporations will
be increasing their spending on
plant expansion later this year
and II so, they'll be increasing
their demands for credit. II
buying of the new compact cars
is heavy this fall. the demand
for instalment loans certainly
will rise.
In short. the supply of credit
in the banking system is being
restricted; the demand for
loans is heading upward: the
Federal Reserve System is en-
couraging caution among lend
ers. It's a traditional combina-
ton for higher borrowing costs
A higher borrowing charge
is obvious when a lender SIM
ply asks you to pay an interest
rate above what you would
have had to pay on a loan a
year ago. It is not so obvious
when the lender offers the loan
at no higher rate but asks you
to keep some of the loan on
deposit or takes out the in
terest due in advance. Either
way, though. the cost is up.
