Miss Clifford
Supporting
School Week

Miss Chloe Clifford, presi-
dent of the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs has
urged all clubs to support
National Sunday School
Week. The sixteenth annual
observation of this special
week will take place from
April II to II.
In endorsing National
Sunday School Week, Miss
Clifford said: "As a former
Sunday school teacher. I be-
lieve that much of the crime
and Juvenile delinquency in
this country can be curbed if
parents will see to it that
their children have regular
Sunday school attendance.
To-day we need spiritual
and moral guidance more
than any time in our history
and early religious training
will give a foundation that
will last through life"

Important Point
This last point is an i'm
portant one that parents
often overlook. Many sur
veys of adolescent opinion
have stressed. as particularly
priced by them, the privilege
Of entertaining their friends
and having their playmates
feel at home with them.
Mothers should encourage
continued self management
and resourceful planning.
They can supplement the
children's ideas, help them
to put them into effect sue

ing and managing.
Children have a good deal
Of self-reSpect that we par
entS sometimes forget. If they
can't keep their self-respect
at home, they are likely to
try to build it up in some
much less desirable place.
Let's make them feel that
they are full partners in their
own home-not employees or
parasites.

Let's make sure, as we
swing from the over-permis-
siVeness that has been our
pattern in child guidance un-
til just recently, that we don't
go too far in the other direc-
ton.
We're a continent that is
unfriendly to the very idea
of dictatorship and we don't
want to bring up our children
under any form of dictator
ship.
Take stock of your own
home today and make sure
you're not maintaining an
atmosphere of totalitarian
government that stunts the
development of a child's in
telligence and ability and in
creases the danger of juvenile
delinquency. Psychologist
Ralph o. Ojemann of the
University of Iowa suggests
the following platform-but,
of course, some of the planks
may have to be put into
effect gradually:
Suggestions
/. Let children help to de-
eide how to decorate the
house. when to have meals.
what kind of car or refrigera-
tor to buy. (You are educat-
ing them to manage their
own homes later.)
2. Keep the family conver-
satlon on a plane that chal-
lenges the child's thinking
and builds mutual respect
between him and his parents.
3. Permit children. when
they reach teen age, to select
and pay for their own cloth
ing and supplies. Parents
should assist by invitation
only.
. 4. Assign specific and i'm
portant home responsibilities
in the family. Don't make
errand runners and chore-
doers out of the children.
S. Give children space for
their own belongings, and see
that other members of the
family respect the child's
possessions and privacy.

From the promises that are be-

are some of the prime demands

They want expenses cut, but
they want to raise the salaries of
all the state employees, teachers,

They want the price of goods
to go down, but they want higher
minimum wage and less working
hours per week.
They want courts increased and
more judges and prosecutors en-

streamlined and they want fewer

The Assembly of God at Wan

beginning with dinner on Tues
day afternoon at 5 pm. March
Is. Services will follow, led by a
former minister, Rev. d. B. Law
renee, whose son Glenn Lawrence,
also former minister of this
church will attend.
Rev. Carroll Daniels, who has
been the minister for three years,
a native of the community, says
three other ministers, Revs.
Pearce, Perkins and Mizell will
attend. Meanwhile revival at
the church, which is now on its
5th week will continue indefinite
ly. The revival is being led b!
Rev. Charles Etheridge, another
native son.
This remarkable undertaking by
an enrolment of only SO men,
beers, has given the congregation
a brick church which seats about
800 persons. 1t was made possible
largely by contributions of ma
terials and labor from its MEM
hers, and many people believe it
would cost more than $4,000 at
contractors prices.
Mr.. Daniels says the old
church building built about 20
years ago will continue for the
time being to serve as an educa-
tional building but plans of the
people are to supplant it some
time soon with brick addition
to the new church.
Usual Sunday school attendance
at this churcr is listed at 126 with
