From Home Helps Campers Adjust RALEIGH Parents should be more aware of ttie difference that tetters from home or lack of them make to children away and on their own at summer camp, believes Mrs. Faye Haywood, extension family life specialist, North Carolina State University. Adjustment to camp inevitably involves some bad moments for young campers, counselors agree, and mail plays a greater role in helping or hindering a child's ability rto cope than most parents The only thing worse than 'not getting letters is getting 'letters "that express fears and concerns and conflicts about which the child can do noth- one camping ing'" said authority. Children become upset emotionally and physically when parents write of disturbing home developments that couldn't be helped by the child's presence, yet. make him feel guilty, about his absence.

If there is bad news to be communicated, parents should tell the child in person, or at least by phone, so that explanations and reassurance can be given immediately. Counselors recommend that parents write short, frequent notes rather than rare but lengthy letters. If possible, they suggest, mail a letter or postcard before the child leaves home. Then it will be there at camp to welcome him. 7-C Burlington (N.C.) Times-News, Thursday, June 29,1972 I A I A SHORT A 2 9 8 A A TOPS A Matter Charst MATERNITY SHOPS Holly Hill Moll Bink American!

Mail time is a tense time at camp for children who don't get letters, the counselors stress. Parents may, feel that youngsters are having too much fun to care whether they hear from home or not, but counselors know better. SOMETHING NEW ADDED!

Rembrandt's later work was marked by presbyopia (a change in the eye produced by old age) according to a London eye surgeon, and the works of Rodin and of the French impressionists were the products of myopia (nearsightedness), the same physician concludes.

As a result of. careful screening amorg the 1,500 applications they received, the mature women hired handled about 80 per cent more cages than the younger full-time workers.

"We found, too that because of their greater understanding of family problems, especially in regard to children, our part time caseworkers were preferred by their welfare clients." The State of Connecticut has approved a similar project and CATLYST.is negotiating with the Department of Health, Education and Welfare to put government muscle behind the hiring of part-time women workers. In a foreword to the book, Robert Townsend, author of "Up the Organization" and the man who made Avis "try harder," writes: "I have long been convinced buy in the labor market is the part-time woman who is going quietly nuts while her husband works and her kids are in school Smart executives will fight to change their rules and policies so they can take advantage of this labor gold mine. woman Telephone 226-4418 Pro Driver Offers Some Useful Tips MISS CATHERINE ANN HOLLAND Holland Is Engaged To James Eugene Miles Chapel at Elon Dr. and Mrs. Walstein W.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. AP; Extra-heavy traffic during summer weekends, especially long holiday weekends, mates driving more hazardous than usual, so starting a trip after the rush hour is over is a wise precaution, suggests an award- winning professional driver. "I think the most important advice for anyone planning a long trip is to wait until after 2 a.m. to start out," says Clarence Hoffman, selected as 1972 "driver of the year" by the American Trucking Associations and recently named by President Nixon to a three-year term on the National Highway Safety Advisory Committee. Hoffman says he and many other truck drivers make their normal scheduled runs at night in order to miss the rush.

Statistics show that professional truck drivers are by far the safest drivers on the road and this may be one reason, he adds. During his own 33-year, 3-miI- lion-mile professional driving career Hoffman has had only one preventable accident, involving $60 damage. "I leave my home terminal at 'Raymond Motor Transportation here at 1 a.m. and return mid-morning, after driving about 450 miles," he says. "That- way I miss the worst traffic at "both ends.

"I do the same thing in my personal driving," he continues. "I pack the night before and start out early, rested and refreshed. But most people wear themselves out packing during the day arid hit the heavy holiday traffic when" they're tired and the kids are excited." But if you must leave then, Hoffman has some hints that can make your trip easier--and safer. "Leaving right after work usually means driving at he notes, "and that sometimes-means danger. Did you know that objects appear to be further.

rf lh some areas gasoline stations close then, and to run out of gas means not only delay and discomfort, but real danger." After sunset a new set or driving dangers comes into play, he points out. "The distance at which most people can recognize objects decreases at night by 20 feet with each additional 10 miles an hour of speed," he explains. also decreases night vision." Hoffman offers these tips for night driving: When leaving a brightly lit place, pause before pulling onto a highway. Your eyes need time to adjust. Relax your eye muscles by shifting your gaze during night driving.

Train yourself to look beyond your headlights. That's where any danger will come from. Don't wear sunglasses at night. They reduce glare, but at considerable sacrifice to overall vision. In his car Hoffman carries the usual flashlight, first aid fire extinguisher, tire chains and tools.

But his emer- gency kt also includes a tow chain, fuse flares, an extra fan belt, a blanket and a clean white sheet in a plastic bag. In addition he carries a small ax and a hacksaw with spare blades in case he sees an accident where occupants are trapped. That hacksaw could mean the difference between life and death, he explains.

"That name I fondly love to sever fails my heart to cheer, If music dries the falling tear I love the name of Jesus." It is a wonderful name because it gives comfort. Who of us have not whispered "Jesus" in some moment-of sorrow, eyes brimming with tears; and peace has come to a troubled heart and mind and rest. Jesus comforts as none other. Jesus is a wonderful name because, it brings wonder- joy.

There is a joy of the world'-- so called joy bnt it-vanishes, leaving behind so often a bitter sting, an unholy memory, a twinge of remorse. A glance at any newspaper reveals how vain and fleeting joys can be. But the joy of Jesus is heaven born, pure, satisfying to the heart as He meets your answers your cry, reveals His tender heart until cup of blessing overflows. Then Jesus is a wonderful name because it has wonderful power over sin, over evil of every kind, satanic forces, doubt, fear depression and gloom. To you who are reading this today, I just want to say.

There's is something about that name. If yon have a need, just try this. Repeat over and over the name of Jesus. There is something about that name. Have a good day and a nice forever with Jesus.
