O o THUIISAYTjAKUAHY 12. 13B1 : giUiiW : 'J -- FIRST STEP The Martin company Monday announced in Baltimore, Md., that in the next 10 years it will be possible to assemble space stations housing up to 50 men in long-lasting orbits 300 miles above the earth. This photo illustrates the first in a series of steps necessary to obtain the station in space three tubular sections which unfold into large compartments to house men, instruments and laboratory equipment. During launch into orbit these sec tions are folded together on top of the Saturn booster. The large umbrella-shaped structure is a solar power collector. At bottom, a five-man ferry vehicle approaches to ex change the crew. (UPI Telephoto) School Official Fights Trend to Lefthandedness Wheeler, Tex. -(UPD- There are more lefthanded people in the world than there should be, claims school superintend ent H. W. Wiley. Wiley is convinced the world would be a better place if everyone used his right hand to eat, write and per form most feats. So for the past 16 years he has waged a personal war against left handedness. His claim that there are more lefthanders than there should be is based on statistics that showed 3 per cent of the population was lefthanded a generation ago, while the count is now 20 per cent among first graders. Front Page New "I regard this as front page news in a righthanded world," Wiley said. "Handedness is acquired, and it can be changed without harmful effects far into life," Wiley claimed. Sometimes lefthanders be come anti-social because most devices from can openers to rip cords are designed for righthanders, he said. Wiley is surveying inmates of Texas reformatories to determine if there is a relationship between lefthandedness and crime. A study of 17,000 Indians in the Southwest convinced Wiley that only those cor rupted by civilization are left- hand to any measurable ex tent. Hair Brush Technique Is on Way Back in Giving Child Discipline CAP Squadrons Hold Search, Rescue Field Trip ; Six ground rescue teams from Grants Pass and Med Iford Civil Air Patrol squad rons held a practice and res cue field trip Sunday, Jan. 8.

Ten ve hicles and two aircraft were usei in the ground rescue. First aid instructor, Lieuten ant Miller (t aded and cor rected the cadets on the first aid and rescue procedure. jThe CAP will hold a prac- o 0 e Kansas City, Mo. -IUPD- The hair brush, applied sharply to the child's rear, apparently is on the way back to a position of respectability with consci entious parents. It already has the approval of a prominent psychiatrist. Dr. A. H. Chapman, of the psychiatric faculty of the Uni versity of Kansas Medical school, also called for the es tablishment of the "Three L's," along with the "Three R's" in bringing up children. Equally as important as "Reading, 'Riting and 'Rith metic," he said, are "Love, Limitations and Let-Them-Grow-Up." The absence of deficit of any one of the three leads to some distortion, small or great in character structure, the physician said. The hair brush comes in, as an emergency measure, in en- forcement of limitations. Chapman recommended that it be wielded sharply against the bare derriere of a child bent across the parent's knee in the time-honored tradition. The spanking should b e given "with an attitude of firm execution of justice, with perhaps a touch of justified indignation." Chapman urged also that it be given in the privacy of whatever house hold spot has succeeded the woodshed. Close the door, he said, so that the aggrieved youngster's yowls cannot be heard, or at least will be blurred to the ears of the sib lings and neighborhood children. Along with his "do's" Chap man offered a list of don'ts in discipline. Don't Threaten Don't threaten a child with loss of love. Such phrases as "no one can love a boy who misbehaves" have no place in the well-run woodshed. Never threaten the child with abandonment. Chapman believes references to orphan ages and reform schools have replaced the ancient "bogey man" in the vocabulary of some parents. Never threaten a child with physical mutilation. Don't tell him that if he hits little broth er again his hand will "shrivel up and fall off." -Don't use "guilt-slinging," which in Chapman s view is the most damaging method of all and probably the most widely used. Guilt-slinging has many va riations, such as "What did I ever do to deserve a child as bad as you?" . . . "You're driving me to an early grave." 'My sickness is due to all the trouble you've given me." ... or "You've made my life a hell on earth." "Such treatment, the psy chiatrist said, "leaves the child convinced that he is a bad, guilt-ridden person." -Don't tell a child he is an inferior, inadequate person. 4-H NEWS Lake Creek Rancheros The second meeting of the Lake Creek Rancheros 4-H Horse club was held Jan. 7 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Larry Perry. Seven members attended. Mark Flint gave a talk on Morgan horses, Liz Flint re ported on thorough bred horses, Mary Ann Gardner talked about Palomina horses. Deanna Grissom gave a report on Arabian horses, Cheryl Stanley talked on American Saddlebred, Gail Perry gave a talk on quarter horses, and Tomy Perry reported on Ap paloosa horses. Mr. Perry led a discussion on horse diseases and things you should do if your horse gels injured. The next meeting will be Feb. 1 at the Lake Creek Com munity hall. Refreshments wore served by Mrs. Perry. Gail Perry, Reporter. But Chapman also offered comfort for parents who trans gress in such matters and probably will continue to do so on occasion. "Most parents in moments of anger will use one or more of these methods," he said, "and their occasional use, though unwise, probably does little harm. It is the continual or frequent use of these meth ods that causes emotional damage and personality mal formation. Scolding Recommended On the plus side in disci pline, Chapman recommend ed scolding and several other penalties ahead of the hair brush treatment. "Scolding has its place In the correction of children," he wrote for the benefit of fam ily doctors who may be called upon for advice. "The disap proving tone and the angry reproof are elementary tools of discipline." But he warned that the scolding should avoid "threats of loss of love, aban donment, and the like, and should condemn the mischiev ous act, not the child." "The general theme is, 'You are a good boy, but you did a bad thing. I disapprove of the bad thing and am scolding you for it, but I do not dis approve of you as a person.' " Other disciplinary measures recommended by the psychia trist in an article in GP Maga zine, published by the Ameri can Academy of General Prac tice, included assignment of extra work and depriving the child of some favorite activity for a short time. Harrisburg Wafer System Is Sold Salem -t'Pti- The privately- owned Harrisburg Water Sys tem Tuesday was authorized to sell out to the City of Har risburg. The system, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Oscar C. Piper, serves about 246 customers. Public Utility Commission er Jonel C. Hill, who approv ed the sale, said the transac tion was favored by a majori ty of voters in the area at a special election last June. The Pipers said they want to sell becaue of increased costs of financing expansion to meet development of new subdivisions within Harrisburg. h . k A a nj .fr -60, - y:-m-lt f 1 SAVINGS ; tmi "j I ; ACCOUNT ( ( ' tice search and rescue field problem etich month using the combined Grants Pass and Medford rose teams.
