YOUR FUTURE AND
NATIONAL FFA WEEK
The future in agriculture is exciting. Challenging. With enormous
opportunities for those willing to work hard and learn the skills necessary to
meet the demands of the 8Cs.
FFA prepares youth for the future by teaching self-reliance, cooperation, and
citizenship based upon the concepts of incentive, competition and
entrepreneurship. These values represent the bedrock of free enterprise, the
system that has enabled the American farmer to become the most efficient and
productive in the world.

-Heard a recommendation

For many. TV has become
the major shaper of their view

should act in that world No
wonder it is often referred to
as the "flickering blue

"It's hard to say how much
TV is too much, but when it
crowds out running and jump
ing out doors, reading or being
read to, homework, chores,
playing with others, doing
things with the family, hob
bies, or sleeping, it is too much
the specialist says.
"Although 98 percent of
homes in the U.S. have TV,
parents are not defenseless
against its intrusion," says
Straatman. "Practicing tele

haviors or health habits with

"Teamwork is the most
effective method for family
control of viewing," says
Straatman. "Begin with selec
tive viewing,"
Parents and children can
decide which shows will be
watched together. This can be
done on a day to day basis for
small children and on a week
to week basis for older ones.
When the show is over, turn
off the set. Be prepared to
suggest other activities to
follow such as outdoor play,
snack time, play time or study
time.
Adults are needed to help
children interpret what they
are viewing. Four or five year
old youngsters have little
ability to seperate fact from
fantasy or the subtle mean
ings of the behavior they view.
They use wrds heard on TV
programs without the vaguest
idea of the meaning.
Adults react to most TV
content with silence. Children
have no way of knowing
whether behavior is accept
able or unacceptable unless
parents speak up about the
scenes that are in opposition to
their values and applaud or
voice approval those they do
approve.
Children learn their values
and behavior through imita
tion of what they see and hear.
"Parental Guidance" means
that adults should be present
to help children determine
actions that are acceptable in
their family and in the world
beyond.
"Is it alright for children to
have a TV in their bedroom?"
one mother asked. "Would you
put a refrigerator full of food
in their bedroom and allow
them to eat any amount and
type of food they wanted
without your supervision?"
Straatman replies.
We pay close attention to
guiding our children's habits
and must learn to take the
same responsibility for their
TV intake.
