In fact, one of the major problems in dealing with anger in children is the angry feelings that are ofien stirred up in us. It has been said (hat we as parents, teachers, counselors and adminis trators need to remind ourselves that we were not always taught how to deal with anger as a fact of life during our own childhood. We were led to believe thut to be angry was to be bad, and we were often to feel guilty for expressing anger. It will be easier to deal with anger if we get rid of this notion. Our goal is not to repress or dctroy Job change can cause trauma Employment changes in reaction to economic conditions should be considered a potential cause of family crisis. The breadwinner may lose a job or add a second one, the spouse may re-enter the work force as a result of financial worries. Household tasks, family relation ships, and the interplay of different aspects of family living may be altered. The family is forced to improvise and find new ways for solving problems and for living and working together. The unexpectedness of a job change often adds to the problem. If the change is anticipated, family members can prepare themselves for the shift. Attitudes, past family experiences and values can be examined, and each person's opin ions and intentions can be considered. Following discussion, the family can try out new ways. Each person should pay close attention to both positive and negative responses to the experiments. Giving approval to each others helps make the shifts more agreeable to all concerned. This kind of preparation can lessen or eliminate the crisis impact upon the family. Shopping need not hurt Even elementary school children are clothes-conscious these days. But one thing hasn't changed: shopping for clothes doesn't hold a child's interest very long. You can keep your back-to-school shopping trip from turning into a disaster by remembering how short a child's attention span can be. Here are some suggestions to help make your shopping trip Checking accounts are A checking account has many advantages. You don't have to carry a lot of cash, you have a safe way to pay bills by mail, and the cancelled checks provide records of expendit ures. However, not keeping your checkbook balanced may cause problems. An overdraft occurs when you write a check for more money than you have in your account. This usually means the check is returned to the person whom you gave the check. This is expensive. Overdrafts usually mean penalties. Balancing a checkbook is easy. Compare your own records with the financial institution's records. There are different formats for balancing checkbooks. There may be a form on the back of the monthly statement for use in checkbook balancing. If a form is not provided the steps to follow in balancing an account are: Subtract any service charges listed on the statement from your Hints to save One six-ounce potato contains about 40 of the vitamin C you need each day. It's also high in fiber, niacin and potassium and has just 180 calorics. Prov ided you skip the butler and sour cream. Many of the nutrients are found in or near the skin, so eat the skin if possible. Don't store medications in the glove compartment. Tempatures there can be as much as 50 degrees higher than outdoors, quickening the deterioration of drugs.

To decrease the fat in soups and stews, chill them after cooking then skim the fat that congeals on top. Keep disposable lighters out of reach of young children. These lighters are easy to use. and kids may be attracted b their bright colors. The Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that 140 children die each year as a result of playing with disposable lighters.

House hold tasks need to be shared by all family members, including spouses and children. Some humor can injure If you have ever been the ooica of mean-spirited teasing, you know only too well that some humor hurts. "Humor can either be a powerful tool to build people up or a terrible weapon to tear people down," says Joel Goodman, head of the HUMOR Project in Sarat oga Springs, New York. Put-down humor includes laugh ing at someone because of their race, religion, sex or the way they look, dress or talk. Put-down humor may wound or damage self-esteem. In the long run. using put-down humor hurts the teaser's self-esteem, too, say Annette Goodheart, a therapist in Santa Barbara, Cali fornia. "It promotes the fear that if I do that to someone else, they will do it to me I could easily be next." If you are the victim of put-down with your child a success: Be realistic: Don't go beyond your child's interest limits, even if your shopping isn't completed. Come back another day.

Out standing checks should be deducted from the account balance shown on the bank statement. Money very recently deposited in the account, but not yet credited to the account on the statement, should be added to the statement's account balance. Yourcheckbook balance minus service charges should equal the statement balance minus the out standing check and deposits. If your figures and the statement figures don't match up, check the following: Is there a math error? Do the amounts written in your ledger match the amounts written on the checks?

For example, when teased about being short. Lindner's friend replies, "So what? When it rains, I'm the last one to get wet." At the HUMOR Project, that type of reply is called "tongue-fu." It takes those who insult you off guard and tells them that you can laugh at yourself and choose not to let them hurt you. Do balms really work? Do balms and liniments soothe muscle aches away? Maybe we would buy fewer of these over-the-counter remedies if they were tag ged "counter irritants." When you apply such preparations sold as ommcnts, as well as balms and liniments many of their active ingredients stiumulate sensory nerve endings in the skin to produce sen sations of superficial pain, heat, or cold that presumably distract from the more intense pain in sore mus- -cles. One theory holds that height- ened stimuli from the skin actually block pain impulses before they can travel along nerve pathways to the brain. For these products to take effect they have to be thoroughly rubbed in to reach nerve endings (they don't reach the muscle.)

The continuous power drain is needed to run their remote control, electric tuning and "instant on" features. This means that the equivalent of a 1000 meg awatt power plant or 1 750th of our nation's electric generation capacity must run continuously just to power television sets while they are "off.

Gardeners have been using soap to control insects since the early I800's. During the first half of the 19th century, whale oil soap and , more commonly, fish oil soaps Compare your measurements to those listed for the size you think you need.

Because the damage webworms inflict on shrubs and trees is similar to that caused by ten caterpillars, many homeowners confuse the two. Actually the tent caterpillar is active in the spring and early summer. The fall webworm is a late summer and fall pest. Fall webworms feed on plant leaves near the tent like webbing they produce on branches and twigs. This feeding may severely injure or kill small trees and smaller branches. Many ornamental trees, such as alder and birch, and large bushes, such as lilacs and others with soft foliage, are favored by the fall webworm. Walnut and fruit trees, including flowering cherries and crabapples. are frequently infested. Keep cool this summer Q. Our house gets uncomfortably hot during the warmer part of the summer. We don't want to use an air conditioner because of the energy consumption. Do you have any tips for keeping cool? A. There are lots of ways to make your house more comforta ble. Shading, ventilation and care ful use of appliances are just a few. I he first thing to do is close the shades and drapes on the east, west and south sides of the house. Close the east window shades for most of the day. Tilt mini blinds or Vene tian blinds so the inside edge of the slat faces down. Many people are surprised to learn that east and west windows may be as important to shade as south windows. This is because the sun is lower on the horizon, in the morning and afternoon and thus more perpendicular to theeast-and west-facing glass. At midday, when the sun strikes the south glass at a steep angle, more of the energy is reflected. Even though the air may still be cool outside in the morning, there's plenty of heat in the sun to start the process of overheating your house. Shading windows from the out side is better than shading them with drapes, blinds or curtains. You can shade them with such things as awnings, trellises, shade trees and shrubs. When selecting vegetation for shade, remember that deciduous plants not only keep out solar radiation in the summer but let it in during the winter when ou want the warmth. In some cases, particularly in a contemporary home with floor and ceiling glass, applying reflective films directly to the glass may be the only practical way to cut down heat gain since drapes or shades are difficult to install along angled watering is critical Dry periods cause plants to wilt, lose their quality and, in some cases, invite disease. With toma toes, the result of lack of water is blossom end rot. A variety of garden watering methods are available. Use a gaden sprinkler, such as an impact or oscillating type. Apply about one inch of water during each irriga tion. Measure the amount by plac ing a can where it will collect water from the garden sprinkler. A thorough watering should keep garden plants in good shape for five to seven days, depending on weather and soil type. If water begins to puddle during irrigation, the sprinkler is deliver were an important part oi insect control. Soaps now are available that are specifically formulated to control insects on plants. One of these soaps generally available at nursery or garden supply stores in the northwest is a product called "Safer Insecticidal Soap." Insecticidal soaps are effective on scale insects, aphids, mealy bugs and other soft bodied insects. The soap solution not only washes insects off plants but also has toxic properties that kill the insects through contact. Soaps used for pest insect con trol are not as dangerous to handle as pesticides but care still should be taken in application. Adult moths lay their eggs on the underside of leaves in June and July. The eggs hatch about a month later. The fall webworm is a pale yel low to brown caterpillar with a yel low stripe along each side and dusky stripe along the back. Full grown caterpillars are about an inch long. The webbing can be cut out and burned, or the caterpillars can be controlled with insecticides. Dia zinon and BT (Bacillus Thurin giensis) are recommended for use on ornamental. Follow the direc tions on the insecticide label. Spray as soon as the tents appear. Large tents are difficult to pene trate unless you have a pump type sprayer that develops a powerful spraying force. Repeat applications may be needed. window tops. Remember, however, that permanently applied reflective films also will cut down heat gain in the spring, fall and winter. Ventilation is the next thing to consider. You can cool oil the house by opening windows, but only if you open them at night and before 9 a.m. when the outside temperature is low. The point is to cool down the mass of the house as much as possible and then shut up the house during the day to trap the cool air in the house. You may be more comfortable when the house is shut up if you use inexpensive six-inch fans placed around the house. If you have a basement and want to circulate air during the day, use a window fan to pull basement air through the house. Another arrangement that works well is to open windows on the ' north and south sides, then place a fan in a south window (facing out) to draw the cooler air from the shaded north side through the house. If your home has an attic, keep ing it cool in the summer by insur ing adequate ventilation will keep your house cooler, too. Good attic ventilation can be as important in the summer as it is in the winter. Finally, don't forget the appli ances that produce heat inside the house. Clothes dryers, incandescent lights, freezers, television sets and computers all add heat to a home. Delay using whichever of these items you can until evening. It may interest you to know that a freezer puts out as much heat as a 200-watt light bulb. Fluorescent lights produce one-third the heat of the equivalent incandescent light bulb. Even the family dog puts out as much heat as a 60-watt light bulb! ing water taster than the soil can take it in. Crusted soil, which pre vents water from penetrating the soil, can be broken up with shallow cultivation. Also, an application of fertilizer in the garden early in August will help fatten the harvest. Don't apply fertilizers high in nitrogen, how ever. They encourage the growth of leaves and stems at the expense of vegetable fruits. Apply a complete fertlizer such as a 10-10-10 combination. Either broadcast the fertlizer over the planted row or apply it along the plants in the row. See the fertilizer package for application recommen dations.
