"News About Today's Home Career Judge Writes :On Contemporary Civics By PATRICIA McCORMACK UnKcd Press International NEW YORK (UPI) A col- lege student, 17, booked on dis orderly conduct, conferred with 'his dad and the family lawyer. 'Then he did what they agreed he should do. He appeared before a judge, pleaded guilty, paid the fine ' and got it over with. But Judge Jerome A. Lasky, " in the District Court of Nassau 'County, Mineola, N. Y., was distressed that the young man " took so lightly the matter of having a record. Additional "ho-hum" attitudes "toward a record by youthful 'offenders subsequently moved "Judge Lasky to give youngsters a lesson in contemporary civics. He does the teaching in a pam "'phlct "The Innocent Offend " cr." More than 35,000 copies -'have been distributed nation-wide, including 10 requested by : the Library of Congress. - Can Ruin Future The instructive pamphlet re " minds youngsters that a record " even for a seemingly inno v cent prank can ruin their fil atures. It also tells those in trou "ble how to conduct themselves. "The schools spend so much money for every kind of educa tion," Judge Lasky, 42, said in an interview. "But they fail to teach these simple lessons in contemporary civics. "Most of the young people don't know what a crime actu- ally is. I try to tell them in " the parnphlet." v Lasky, father of two daugh ters, 14 and II, is giving the c booklet away, most of the copies going to schools. "Anyone who wants to reprint it in bulk for schools and organizations, can do so, as long as the reprints , are in the public interest and nobody makes any profits for himself. The response so far has ..been unbelievable." A graduate of Columbia Uni versity Law School, where he was editor of "The Columbia ..Law Review," Judge Lasky makes these points in the pam phlet: Most youngsters do not know the consequences of an arrest and conviction record, that it can prevent them from obtaining a desirable job, from becoming an officer in any part of the armed services, from en tering certain of the services "even as an enlisted man, from "becoming a lawyer, from enter ing government service. They do not know the dif ference between good natured fun and illegal conduct. They 'are unaware of the provisions of the laws most frequently vio lated by youngsters. The judge 'is convinced that this ignorance 'of the law is the cause of many violations. They do not know how to ,'acl if they are arrested. All too 'often, in (ear and haste, they plead guilty "to get it over 'with." "I firmly believe that our youngsters must be educated in these vital areas," Judge Lasky said. 1 Parents Not Informed 3 "Their parents are not equip ped to perform this task because Mhey usually do not have the technical knowledge required." " Judge Lasky cautions young persons against breaking t h e law on a dare. "It lakes more courage to turn down Ihe dare than to ac cept it and your friends know -this." he said. "In the long run they will respect you for having the cour age and foresight to down a Miare involving a breach of the .law. It is better to be a live 'chicken' than a dead duck." . He also cautions against loy alty to a friend that reaches the point of helping a friend resist arrest and eventually involves arrest of two or more. "Disrespect for a police offi i i VEE-FORM, UJ BYModess r .. TFE plu stH Box of 24 0 Green Sttmpi PIGGLY WIGGLY Woman Leisure Arts Pamphlet cer," he said, "is an invitation to be arrested.. "The police officer cannot per mit his authority to be chal lenged. "Chances of your being ar rested are much greater if you talk back to the police officer or are otherwise disrespectful to him." It Is Bound To Happen By Gay Pauley NEW YORK (UPl)-Bound to happen during the holidays: Children who got sleds will long for snow. Children who got roll er skates will pray for a thaw. Dad will get what he always wanted for Christmas. More neckties. Decorating Hints Given In Booklet By MARGERY McELHENY United Press International CHICAGO (UPI) Principles of design used by artists also apply to room furnishings. They include proportion, balance, emphasis, rhythm and harmony. A "money management" booklet (published by Household Finance Corportion) offers many useful decorating hints based on these principles of art. To create pleasing propor tions in small and medium rooms, select furnishings with slim, simple lines. Use solid col ors in light or medium gray tones, or small, subtle designs. But avoid large furniture, bold patterns and bright colors or furniture arrangements that di vide the room. Reverse the rules for a large room. High ceiling rmms can be scaled down by using darker col ors on the ceiling than on walls. Choose furnishings and decora tive effects with horizontal lines. Use Dividers In long and narrow rooms, dividers, mirrors on side walls, contrasting colors or emphasis on end walls proportion space. The two types of balance in clude formal, when items on either side of a center are equal; or inlormal, when items on eith er side are placed at different distances from the center. It is harder to arrange infor mal balance, but the effect is more interesting. To achieve emphasis, furnish ings should be arranged to draw the eye first to the center of interest and then to every oth er detail in order of import ance. Use Rhythms Rhythm in a design leads the eye in an orderly manner from one object to another. It can be achieved by repeating lines, forms, colors, patterns and tex tures. A rectangular shaped picture i over a horizontal chest creates! rhythm through repetition of forms and lines. The same color used in draperies, on a chair, and in throw pillows, creates; rhythm through repetition of colors. The end result of the first four principles: harmony, thej achievement of a pleasing whole which expresses variety and I unity. The experts say so.

Meal and portion-size pack ages and containers freeze quickly and safely, take less time to defrost for use, and create fewer space problems in packing a freezer or refrigerator-freezer. These tips come from an Iowa manufacturer, Amana Refriger ation, Inc., which has other sug gestions for solving the leftover problem. Samples: Slice, dice or chop cooked meat before packaging it so that it will be complete ready for use when you remove it from the freezer. Freeze packages or contain ers of leftover stuffing and gravy separately. Make the car cass into a rich broth, then freeze it in ice cube trays or pans. Cubes are espcially con vcnicnt, when stored together in a heavy plastic bag; you can remove only as many as you need for one meal. -Leftover cranberry sauce also freezes well. If you want to save cooked vegetables for salad, marinate them in French dressing bclore trcezing.

Add about 2 tablespoons of simple syrup (sugar dissolved in walcr) if the fruit is un sweetened. Both mince and pumpkin pies can be Irozcn as is, wrapped in moisture and vapor proof material. Frozen pie can be re heated for 20-30 minutes in a preheated 375 - degree oven. Freeze individual mounds of whipped cream or hard sauce on pans lined with waxed pap er, then package for storage. Chance Of Spoilage Such leftovers should not be held more than a week or two in the freezing compartment of single door refrigerator. Bui most can be kept safely and without quality changes for three months or more in a zero degree freezer. Cooked veget ables begin to decline in qual ity after four lo six weeks. Baked goods keep longer than the three-month period. Packaging material should he moisture and vapor-proof. All foods should be wrapped or packaged tightly to eliminate air space. When freezing any thing with liquids, allows inch headroom in the container lo allow for expansion.

Miss Kinkead believes that all women who often travel on their own should understand the fol lowing procedures. (1) How to change a tire safely. (2) What safety measures to take if you must abandon a car on the high way. (Carry railroad signal flares in the trunk. Their bril liance offers the best possible protection for oncoming cars.) (3) How to cope if you're involv ed in an accident. (See that the injured receive immediate med ical attention. Note the exact time and exact circumstances of the accidents weather, speed, etc. Do not make any statements regarding the accident to anyone but the police. Write down the names and addresses of the driver and occupants of the other car, as well as the license and registration number of the other car, its make, model and quale protection. All food should be chilled and frozen quickly to prevent spoil age. Packages to be frozen should be placed in direct contact with a freezing plate on a horizontal shelf in an up- rigiu ireezcr or reirigerator freezing compartment, or against inside walls in chest type freezers.

Driving in snow and ice, of course, involves very special know-how. Miss Kinkead ad vises us to keep an emergency stock of food and other neces sities on hand so that we need not risk life and limb sliding down to the store in bad weather. Safety experts at Tha Travelers, Miss Kinkead tells us, offer the following tips for making winter driving as safa as possible. 1. Before it snows, check your brakes. If wear on the linings is unequal, you're asking for some skids. Have snow - tires put on. Check your heater and defroster. 2. Carry a plastic ice scraper and snow brush in the glove compartment, as well as a can of one of the wonderful prep arations tnat prevents ice from forming on the windshield. Keep chains, sand and a shovel in the car. 3. Drive with your low -beam headlights on in snow, rain or fog. (Be sure the glass on your headlights is wiped off occasion ally). 4. Don't tail-gate. Put lots of distance between you and tha ear in front of you. 5. Never brake suddenly. Ap ply your brakes gently with an on-and-off pumping pressure. 6. Don't over-steer. The re sulting over-correction causes skidding. 7. If your defroster should fail, pull off the road immediately, and let the warmth from Ihe car heater melt the ice on the windshield. Then apply some "de-icer" to the outside of tha windshield. 8. Drive slowly. 9. Don't go out if you don't really have to.
