MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON THURSDAY, JULY 12. 1962 A 5 Religion in America Religious Training for Child Big Responsibility for Parents I, N ' ; 0 htti r 1 By LOUIS CASSELS UPI Correspondent If there is one responsi bility which terrifies the average parent more than any . l other, it is the religious nur ture of ehil- (Iren. Most parents today i are aware that ' s j .religious I training must begin at m e. But ey a r e n t casseis sure how to go about it and are afraid they'll bungle the job. Judg ing from their anxious in quiries to pastors, many have the notion that they may blight a child's life forever by using the wrong words in speaking about God. or by failing to give just the riaht answer to a question about death. Such parents may find a measure of comfort, and a great deal of helpful advice, in a new book entitled: "Your a.sk further questions about is not, in Dr Miller's opinion, God.

"Let us be sure that the con cepts we share with our chil dren are such that as they grow older they will never need to unlearn them," says Dr. Miller. "They are going to have many mistaken notions that need to be corrected, but there is no reason why par ents should contribute to these m i s conceptions by watered down views of God or erron eous ideas that sound cute be cause they are for children. We must never make them feel that answers about God are easy to come by." A child won't find this ap proach evasive or confusing if his parents are themselves convinced of the reality of God, and if they make clear by their actions that they trust God and attach great im- Child s Religion, A Practical Guide For Parents," by the ! portance to doing His will.

"Most of our fundamental says Dr. Miller, "is not our conscious effort to tell the child any- ! thing, his later development,' he says. "It is much more im portant for him to see his parents pray, and to become aware of their relationship to God. than it is to say a few words in the form of prayer in order to satisfy his par ents." That brings up the ques tion of family prayers. Dr. Miller thinks they are desir able whenever they are "per fectly normal and natural," and he points out that any family can share the act of prayer involved in grace be fore meals. But he adds: "I think we need to be per fectly honest here and say that In many families any kind of group family worship in the home is almost a com plete impossibility except on special festivals. And I am not sure that this is something to be regretted. There have been many times when a fa ther's compulsive desire to lead his children in prayer has led to extremely negative results."

Glib Answers Unneeded Parents need not have a ready stock of glib answers when a curious child begins to Of Junior Rank Ann Arbor, Mich. - (UPI) -The Literature Science and Arts college of the University of Michigan has decided to give preference in accepting transfer students to those of junior rank. The college, which studied the transfer situation for two years, determined that stu dents who have completed two years of college provide broader evidence of sustained competence, can make the transition into their major field, would be unlikely to be making just another stop en route to another college unit. Also, enrollment pres sures are less severe at the junior-senior level than in freshman-sophomore, classes, the college said. s 2030 'pieslUttl Phone ! f; W.

"Start attending Sunday school with your child as soon as possible," he says. "Make this family attendance a weekly affair, including both parents. Maintain this regu larity through the years, so that even if a teen-ager rebels, he will have had the exper ience of the organic unity of a Christian family in the church." Dr. Miller discusses the "teen-age rebellion" problem at length and suggests var ious ways of coping with it. His first-hand experience as a father is reflected in the ob servation that there is no sure-fire formula for dealing with teen-agers - "We have to play it by ear." "We also have to remem ber," he says, that "no one can compel another to have faith in the God of Jesus 1 Christ - not even God Him self. Faith comes by grace, and God gives us the freedom to resist His love. We must give our children the same kind of freedom, in the hope that they will respond in faith to G 'd's grace." Hog Farmers Seeking To Avoid Over-Production Washington - OIPIl - The Ag riculture department says hog farmers appear to be using caution this year in an at tempt to avoid over-production and consequent lower prices such as occurred in 1955 and 1959. In a review of the livestock and meat situation, the de partment predicted the 1962 fall pig crop will total about 43 million head. This would be about 1 per cent above 1961 and the largest fall crop since 1943. But this expand ed fall crop, added to the smaller than-expected spring crop of 49.6 million head, would produce a total for the year of 92.6 million head. Such a crop would be a little below last year and the small est since 1959. More Red Meat The department said domes tic red meat production dur ing January-June was greater than during the comparable period last year. The rise was due to increased beef and pork production. Veal, lamb, and mutton were down com pared with the first half of 1961. Imports of red meats during the first half increased suf ficently to provide one pound more meat per person for the year as a whole than in 1961. This meat was imported be cause of demand and favor able prices to the exporters. More Beef. Veal The department said meat production during the last half of 1962 also likely will exceed the July December output of 1961. The increase will be due to greater produc tion of beef and veal. Pork, lamb, and mutton production will be below the last half of 1961. The outlook at the begin ning of 1962 was for an in crease in the total meat sup ply about equal to the popula tion increase. Per capita con sumption was expected to be slightly below the 1611 pounds used last year. But with the increase in imports the first half of the year, per capita consumption of meat for the year as a whole pb ably will be slightly above thatof Ia.t year.
