July 21,1962 Page 9 SPILYAY TYMOO Calving handbook available Calf losses in heifers are often high and most of these deaths are a result of dystocia (calving difficulty) problems, according to an Oregon State University Extension Service publication^ “How to Handle Calving Difficulties.” The publication states that many of these calf losses can be prevented if the heifers are closely w atched and the dystocia problems are detected and corrected early.

It also recommends that any serious and compli cated problems be handled by a veterinarian. “How to Handle Calving Difficulties” explains how to recognize normal calving, the dangers of interfering during birth of a calf and when and how to examine the cow.

Most parents were not taught much about handling a n g e r d u rin g th e ir ow n childhood. Extension Human D e v e lo p m e n t S p e c i a l i s t Marcelle Straatman says to help children deal with their angry feelings. The first step is to accept anger as a normal emotion. “Usually angry outbursts are not signs of serious problems. In fact, anger may be a defense to avoid painful feelings such as a sense of failure. The best way to respond to angry outbursts is to find out what triggered it and to accept the feeling. Parents can help children handle anger. It might be as simple as holding the child to show that you understand. In dealing with an angry child, the parents action would be to protect and teach, not to punish.” If you think about it, families are the basis our world is built on. People make families, families make communities, com m unities make states, states make countries and countries make our world. It only follows that the e x p e rie n c e s le a rn e d by members within a family help build the type of world we live in. Each and everyone of us, no matter how small and helpless we feel, can help the chain along in a positive direction through good family communi cations and understanding between family members.
