CP Junior High School
The seventh and eighth
grades of Central Point Junior
High school celebrated Valen
tines day with a party in the
gymnasium. All planning of
the decorations, refreshments,
and activities was done by the
students under the direction
of the teachers.

charge, saw that plans were
carried out to make the party
all the pupils expected.

between the rooms. Each

represent their room and
many of the contests were
between the individual room
representatives. Girls took
part in a nail driving contest
while the boys demonstrated
their skill in a button sewing
contest. Other room repre

Newton B. - I am a mar

My problem is my in-laws
who have been practically liv

married ten years ago.
My wife was an only child
so I took it for granted that
her parents would be excep
tionally attached to her. I
figured in time they would
get used to the idea of her
being married.
Instead they moved nearer
to our home and are with us
most of the day and every
evening. They spend all day
talking to my wife, but when
I get home I still can't get a
word in edgeways. The worst
of it is that they are nearly
always quarreling. Things
have gotten so bad I'm ready
to go if they don't.

wi o oy responsioie agencies and
come? Tell them my husband
can't stand to look at them
anymore? -
Newton doesn't realize that
this thing is harder for me
than it is for him. My parents
keep coming around to "help"
me with the kids, but half the
time they make things worse
for me. I have to serve them
lunch and see to it that the
kids don't get too noisy be
cause it upsets them.
Newton wants me to act
like a monster to my parents,
but I can't do that. They are
old and ill and I am all they
have in the world. All the
pleasure in life they have
comes out of seeing me and
the children.
The Council: Gloria points
out that her parents believe
they are coming to help her,
but that in fact they are a
hindrance. Has she considered
the possibility that she may
believe she is helping them
while actually doing the op
posite? Psychiatrists find that many
adult children who strongly
insist upon their parents' need
of them turn out to be over
dependent upon their parents.
They may marry and have
their own families, but emo
tionally still feel that they are
their parents' little children
and the parents are over
whelmingly powerful forces.
They may seem exceptionally
devoted to their parents, but
such men and women usually
harbor deep feelings of re
sentment against one or botn
parents.
Gloria's resentment flares
in spite of her good intentions
toward her parents and she
should be aware that her par
ents have an emotional un
derstanding of all that is go
ing on. They see her as their
baby because she feels she Is
that and they also more or
less consciously know that
she is annoyed with their Con
stant presence.
These parents are fortun
ate in that they are inde
pendent and they still have
one another. There is much in
life two elderly persons can
explore together if they are
not hamstrung by the idea
that their permanent place is
at the side of their daughter.
The elderly couple can make
friends, find hobbies, do a
little sightseeing in their
area, go to entertainments or
enjoy their home together.
They should have a more
varied life and Gloria is
keeping them from it as long
as she refuses to let them
know that she wants more
time alone with her family.
The elderly couple are un- j
doubtedly aware that they j
are robbing Gloria of the en-.
joyment of the privacy of her I
home. When the issue is
brought out into the open
they may seem hurt at first,
but they will adjust to the
idea and recognize that it is
for the best for everyone con
cerned. (Copyright 1960. General

Most Courteous Owls
The acres of dry sand were
dotted with sparse clumps of
grass and low, scraggly
bushes, all tiredly trying to
maintain a precarious posi
tion in the infertile soil; all
struggling to remain green in
that arid and inhospitable en
vironment. . Heat waves shimmered si
lently upward in zig-zag un
dulations and disappeared
into the upper air. I wondered
if any creature could remain
long in such a place. The
sandspurs clung tenaciously
to my clothing, but I plodded
on over the shimmering sand.
Ahead of me grew a clump of
Spanish bayonet.. Toward it I

Small Worlds
Around Us
By Lynn M. Watkins
needle-tipped leaves was a
pile of sand and behind the
pile, the dark entrance to an
underground burrow. Look
ing into the opening I could
see a -passageway running
horizontally back and down
from the opening. It was the
home of the little burrowing
owl. I retreated a few feet
back from the opening and
prepared to wait.
Movement Detected
Much sooner than I had
dared hope, I detected a move
ment at the burrow opening.
A tiny, brown form assumed
shape and substance. , I
thought the small owl looked
a little surprised at the sight
of me waiting there in the
sun. He bowed courteously in
my direction a couple of
times, bending sharply for
ward from the ground with
short, abrupt nods of his
whole body. I wanted to
laugh. He certainly didn't
bow from the waist; he bowed
from his feet.
Then he blinked his large,
yellow eyes and flew up to a
leaf of the yucca plant. He
settled himself comfortably,
bowed again, and watched
me with half-closed eyes. He
was barely six inches tall and
slightly smaller around than
my wrist. He sat there in the
hot sun, cool and nonchalant
in his thick, insulated coat of
brown feathers -a male bur
rowing owl.
Courtesy Inbred
I glanced again at the sand
mound, and there, looking at
me was the little female and
three half-grown baby owls.
Courtesy had apparently been
inbred even in these little
ones, for they all bowed in
unison with their mother at
my perspiring presence. I
raised my hand. The entire
family, became immediately
alert, ready to dive back into
the burrow at the first hos
tile move.
I knew that at the far end
of the burrow was a hol-lowed-out
room where the
young had been born. Back
there in the darkness was
sanctuary when danger
threatens. But when all is
quiet they like to sit on the
mound of sand at the burrow
entrance. In the evenings
there they will be, like a little
old couple with their chil
dren, sitting on the front
porch at the end of the day.
