Are all traditions really gone Or are you taking for granted many privileges that you currently enjoy? - Scott Jefferies, NHS Bulldog Editor. An Open Letter To Teens By JUDGE PHILIP GILLUM Juvenile Court, Denver, Colorado We hear the plantive cry of the teenager, What can we do? Where can we go? the answer is ... GO HOME! Go home, hang the storm windows, paint the woodwork, rake the leaves, mow the lawn, shovel the walk, wash the car, learn to cook, scrub some floors, repair a sink, build a boat, get a job. Help the Minister, Priest or Rabbi, the Red Cross, or the Salvation Army. Visit the sick and helpless. Assist the poor. Study your lessons. And then when you’re through and not too tired, read a book. Your parents do not owe you entertainment. Your village does not owe you recreation facilities. The world does not owe you a living. You owe the world something. You owe it in your time and your energy and your talents so that no one will be at war, in poverty, or sick and lonely again. IN PLAIN SIMPLE WORDS . . . GROW UP! Quit being a cry baby; get out of your dream world; develop a backbone, not a wishbone, and start acting like a man or a lady. It strikes fear to the very heart of me for the future of our country when I see these young people who are completely and utterly indifferent to their responsibilities toward others and towards society in general. I’m a parent. Pm tired of nursing, appealing, begging, excusing, tolerating, denying myself comforts for every whim and fancy just because your selfish ego, instead of common sense, dominates your personality and thinking and requests. - NHS Bulldog Owyhee Church Slates Special Service Series The Rev.

But if you return to the laird in repentance you will rejoice In His restoration. A tramp went to the home of a church member and said, “Lady, 1 am a Christian, but 1 am hungry. Will you please give me something to eat?” "How do I know ttuat you are a Christian?" she asked. “Just look at the patches on my knees," he replied. “I have worn out my trousers praying.” Because of the patches she gave him a big dinner. But as he got up to leave she noticed even bigger patches on the seat of his trousers. "How did you get th«* patches back there?" she demanded "Lady," he explained, "that is where I wore them out back sliding before 1 wore them out praying.” Where do you have your patches?

I am Bob Payne, one of the children of Elsie Gibson Payne. Our father died on January 19 and, during the course of straightening things out in Tyler, 1 have run across your letters to Mother. At this time, Mother is not really able to handle correspondence so 1 felt that I should write you and let you know that your letters have been received by Mother and are very much enjoyed by her. As a matter of fact, Mrs. Whitaker, Mother has a picture of her girlhood basketball team in Nyssa and insists that you were on the team. None of the three children resides in Tyler. Bill lives in Abilene about 280 miles away, Peggy lives in San Marcos, about 240 miles away, and 1 live in Dallas, about 100 miles away. However, we are over in Tyler almost weekly at this time and will continue to be going over to Tyler. We have a full time practical nurse with Mother and adequate help at the house so that I think she is living as happy a life as can be expected under the circum stances which exist. She is able to read and converse, but writing is a great problem be cause of problems created by hardening of the arteries.
