Oregon State University research says that contrary to some sources the father is important in rearing children. He spends up to 50 hours a week with his children. Now that's pretty good when you consider he spends an average of 60 hours on his job. The study also showed that the fathers who expected respect from their children and regarded the family as a sacred institution were at the lop of the list. Fathers take note.

The cost was 63 per cent lea than oil and 27 per cent less than coal. Just plain common sense. The mail pouch EDITOR: This message is for "Name Withheld" whose letter appeared in the Jan. 22 issue. What do you mean by old-time sportsmanship? In sports, the team consists of all the members whether they oK forty minutes, ten or none at all.

The value of practice and fellowship with the team whv individual. Since winning is an object of the game why shouldn't those with the best ability and efforts play? If winning wasn't important, why keep score? If a player is unhappy in a team situation, perhaps ; ftal person should try an individual sport like tennis, golf, track, wrestling or swimming. .

You d do everyone a favoV by staying home if you can't support the S team! Perhaps you parents ought to ieM own feelings and comments. Are you the ones knocking the spirit out of the "unchosen few?" Are your comments after the games the type that would make your child feel like a failure because he didn't play? Today's "chosen few" were yesterday's "unchosen few.

ACSW Last week's article explained play therapy, a method of tnM 'with children. This week we'll discuss some nf the Dhases in early childhood development. In fhffS year 0f I child's life, the most important thing fo h im to Sarn is that the world around him is warn . secure constant, and loves him. It is impossible to , .poU . chUdta the first year of his life. As the child learns that he is loved and wanfed. he learns to trust his environment so he ee s secure enough to depend on those around him to meet h is S The infant needs to know that when he cnes h.s paTnU wiu espond to his needs even though they may have taguess to figurVout which need it is. An infant can also tell if his pents feel secure by the way his parents handle him and Snd to him. Theoretically, the less trauma , a chjd . experiences in the first year of his life the better off hell be ; "IS let me i an example of a child I worked with who never received love, security, cons.stency. and warmth. His name was Jeff (not his real name), and he was born in Italy. The first year of his life included severe beatings, prolonged period? without food, at which time he'd cry for hour, and en received the punishment of being put in very hot or very co d Sr. Needless-to-say Jeff never learned to trust hence would not allow himself to be dependent on another human Ifa child develops trust, he will allow himself to be dependent. At the time the child starts learning moral, and vK at about -ge .... he will accept the structure provided by his parents more readily. Be.nf I dependent upon Ins parents for the continued security and love Uie child gained Uie first year, the toddler will want to continue to receive Si, conforms to his parents wishes This dedency and conformity can be very healthy for the child dependmg uponhow the parents use this process. If the parents are not Kigid and demanding, too lenient andr too itent the child will continue to grow while feehng secure and good 8 tlSbacK to the example of Jeff. From age one until aee 4 he lived in sixteen different homes, ranging from very ngid and demanding foster parents to overindulging foster parents. In some home, he wa, beaten and literally chained o his bed and starved for hours as punishment. In other oS could do anything he -"ted and eat inghe wanted. Needless-to-say. this harsh and incomutoj environment only developed a deep hatred in Jeff . At the age of 4 he suddenly found himself jerked out of another home and placed on a plane to the United State, where he wa. o ive w.1h relatives. At this point.. Jeff was not manageable because relationships only meant cruel, harsh, inconsistent a7d disappointing "vents. He had absolutely no trustor dependency. His new foster parents were afraid thhi fouryear-old child might kill them. This was a well-founded ,CJeff is a good example of how a child will respond if he doeSi't obtain any trust and dependency and thus gain Sn morals and'values so that they can continue to reUte to their environment in a healthy manner a. they grower. Frequently in therapy, if the patienl has not learned to trust and will not allow himself to depend on others 'r ppropriate needs, causing the patient to become dependent on Je SSoist to meet some of his needs. It Is only when the pS leams to trust and allow him.e l..n; dependent that he can relearn more appropria rwponse. to certain situations. In other words, he learns how to respond Upendently in more appropriate way. and allowi himself to trust and to be dependent when appropriate, thu. also making the person feel better about himself. Referring back again to Jeff. In the nine month. I saw him he was only beginning to develop ome trust d me dVnWA. P.nt I was the only person wiUjwhlcl i he hadany trust or dependency. He never learned to tmeto video tape his session, with me for fear I would .how them nationwide. Treatment with Jeff had to be terminated wUh me because moved from Uie area, but hopefully he wa. able to continue nil progress with another At the Morrow County Mental Health Qlnlc I frequent example of people who never learned to trust be dependen are those who cannot work for anyone else becauseofthdr lack of trust, hence, will not allow themselves to depend on ISeir employer. Ano.her frequent example I. people who cannot trust their spouses.

"Oor Authority In Lifo" (Mark 1:21-28) By Rev. Mark Johnson tlope-Valby Uther.a Ckwxh We often hear people claiming to be an authority An authority U wmeone who U .oppose to know what ho U Ulklng about, and ha. a vast amount of krte ina partSlar are. of life. When Jesu, began hi. inlnWrj. Uie first thing he did. after choosing his twelve disciples, wa. to enter the .ynagogue to teach. While In the WW people listening to him were am.ied at hit My- ' Gopel My. "And they were astonished at hi. teach Incafor he taught them a. one who had authority . . . " WhaT doe. It man that Jesu. spoke with authority? It U important to distinguish between power and authority. Power denoUthe idea of control, force, and manipulation, The .tyle ofJesu. was not one of power, but rather authority. What doe. world "authority" mean? In the Creek nf translation is "an assurance of truth and trust. Jesu. poM and acted not through the use of manipulation and I forco (power), but rather through an assurance of truth and trust in who He was and what He w. to do. It seems .. though some sort of authority is what wo aro lacking today. A we look at our time., there Isn't that one person or Institution to which we can turn for the 'u,w Thirty or forty years ago. it might have been different. Back then, people believed that there were authorities ta their lives Today, however, the .ituatlon has changed because there do not seem to be any authorities who have the answer.. All we need to do is look at any area of life to see this to be true. In politic, one group tell, you one thing and the next group tells you another. In farming, one organisation ha. one correct farming procedure while another group oppose, thi. first method. One person tell, you to raise your child using one set of technique, and then someone else comes along and tells you to use a completely different method. As we look at all of these varying opinions and all of "the authorities" disagreeing with each other, we become confused and wonder what and who to believe. The question is "Is there an authority in life?" I believe that the only authority i God himself for It i. the only ono which seems to endure all of the other.. Nation, rise and fall, differing philosophies come and go, varying fad. srt endured, but the Christian Gospel continues to thrive throughout the world. The good new. that the one who created us also has come to us In Jesus of Nazareth to reveal hi. love and faithfulness to all people. Thi. faithfulness l .pecifically seen through the death and resurrection whkh offer, us new meaning, purpose, and hope In life. The authority of life is Men in the authority of God himself. That does not mean that as a Christian, we are then led around by the nose and given a perfect blueprint for life. We are ajway asked to walk by faith and not by light. Remember what authority mean. "an assurance of truth and trust." Looking to God a. an authority, therefore, means having the ability to walk by faith In the confusion of life with the assurance that at the center of our live, is God himself. It Is believing In the faithfulness of God no matter what happen, All eUe might fail, but God ultimately will not fail. All else might wither away, but God remains constant Most of us have Men figure skater on an ke rink. During a routine, a figure skater will .pin around like a top. How does a skater do that without getting dizzy? It Is done by picking a point to look st so that as the skater Is spinning around, thi. point Is constantly Men. Thi. give, the skater a point of reference as he spina. Perhaps this is what It means to look to Cod ss an authority in our live. Picking a point of contact which Is constant in the midst of the confusion and change of our lives. It Is looking to God so that we do not become dlzxy and disoriented as we .pin around In life. The authority of God seemi to be the only constant thing In life. For In the midst of trouble and strife, sickness and death, sorrow and heartache, and life filled with surprises, we can look to God as an authority. Seeing Him a. an authority la having the ability to live our lives In faith and trust In the assurance that no matter what happens In our lives, we can look to the faithfulness and love which God hat for each of us.
