OF course, these figures are only ap-

If you are to survive at all with chill
dren, there is n essential fact to be
eomprehended.
There are a good many people who
will give you advice, at the drop of
a hat or without the hat, on mental
and physical health, money, scouting
and intestinal flu, but the fact that
may save you hours of fearful worry
is this.
Always have everything portable.
Movable. Findable. Accessible.
THE IMPORTANCE of this fact
can be shown in numerous ways.
Take, for instance, your culinary
equipment. If this is not portable,
then you r apt to become morose,
dismayed and completely out of sorts.
Particularly the sorts of things that
you need to prepare dinner.
While the kitchen appliances are
probably somewhere in the house, il
Is a basic assumption that they/must
be disable and readable to be much
help. To demonstrate this further fact,
let's pretend that you're beginning
to work on tonight's dinner.
AS you approach the kitchen, you
note, with some beginning hesitation,
that is already noisy and you haven't
even begun to sift through the pans.
If your adventuresome spirit is none
too strong, it would be wise to turn
around now, refuse to enter the
kitchen and insist On the whole fam
ily's being taken out to dinner. (You
may be able to get away with this

their children everything they need
or want and too little on self-denial
and creativity.
We should teach children to earn
things and to learn s~elf-control by do
ing without things they want. Never
theless, everyone has free will and ul-
timately a grown child is responsible
for his own mistakes. Over-protective-
ness ear cause children to be unpre-
pared for the decisions in life.
A lack of interest in their compan-
ions, in their spiritual life (e.g. at
tendance at Mass, Confession) on the
part of parents can be a factor, espe-
cially in the teens.
The attitude Of the father and
mother toward authority, toward re-
lgion and morality, can injure an inn
questionable child without the par
ents being aware of any such influ.
ence. Parents who give too little time
to their children or too little affec-
ton and understanding can contribute
to their failure.
AS we know from saints like st.
Monica, however, there is no ultimate
failure. Parents can be kind and I'M
Outstanding and by their prayer and
good example can hope to reclaim ev-
en the worst prodigal son.

SEE HOW easily dinner is prepar-

the effort.
The only Earring note to portability
is that you will find yourself carry

morning; one baby, one bib, two cups
of oatmeal, a pan of hot water, three

After breaking glass in the office door il was q simple feat for the intruders to open this door One safe was punched and the other peeled.
