I n the U.S., more than six million men and women are raising their children without the other parent present, reports Marcelle Straatm an, Oregon State University Extension hu man development specialist. Single parents need extra courage and skill to provide the security and acceptance their children need. Perhaps the best advice is not to feel sorry for oneself. In the case of the divorced or separated person, there is a tendency to make negative re marks about the absent spouse. However, parents who are better off feeling that the missing parent really loved them. And for the most part, this is un doubtedly true. Most parents never emotionally desert their children. A widowed mother must help her child develop a positive picture of the father. She can enlist help from friends or rela tives to spend time with the child, for example. It is impor tant to build the image of the father on men the child admires and knows. Providing a positive image of a missing mother is also important for the single parent father. “Explaining the absence of a parent to children can be ex trem ely difficult. It should be done in a way that spares children the pain of feeling un loved nr abandoned,” says Mrs. Straatman.

First prize will be $140.00,Se cond prize will be $100.00, and Third prize will be $75.00. All entries must be submitt- productive path, and clearly the course of least resistance, is for the various states to come to grips with and accept the fact that Indian tribes, like the state within which they reside, are sovereign entities in their own right. Like the states them . selves, they (tribes) possess and exercise full and plenary gov ernm ental authority over the land they occupy. This power, except where specifically alter ed by Congress, operates to the absolute exclusion of the states.” TOE NESS There was this stoogie General in a foreign country that saw an ad saying, “U.S. has thousands of surplus septic tanks.” The General thought for awhile and said to his staff. “I must make a deal with the U.S., the troops should have no problem learning how to operate them.” “YIKES” . SS SS SS One day this guy said to this elderly lady. “You know that your husband is 75 years old and he is still chasing young girls.” “Oh, don’t worry,’ the old lady said, “Dogs chase cars because they can’t drive.” “YIKES” SS SS SS NUCLEAR ENERGY: There were these two guys discussing Nuclear Energy, and Clark said, “ I ’m not so sure that I like the idea of using Nuclear Energy.” “Well,” said Nathan, “I think that’s the only way to go. I heard that’s a sure cure for cancer and whatever else ails a person. One will never have to worry about those things again.” “YIKES” SS SS SS Did you know that the Mayor of Burbank tried to get King Tut there as a guest of honor but King Tut refused and said, “I’d hate to go from one tomb to another.” “YIKES” SS SS SS I heard that parking is a real problem in Los Angeles. I read in the paper where a person reported his car stolen 2 years ago, but some say that cars backing into the parking lot pushed this one car into the embankment and out of sight. This year during the violent rain storms the rain washed away the dirt from the parked car. SS SS SS There was this lady that went into this drug store and asks the guy working there, “Do you have any Talcum Powder?” “Sure Lady,” said the guy. “Just walk this way.” The lady looks at him for a while as he went walking down the aisle and finally she said, “If I walked like that, I wouldn’t need the Talcum Powder.” “YIKES” SS SS SS
