The person who is mature is
able to accept frustrations and dis
appointments without lashing out
at others or losing his temper.
“Everybody has frustrations,”
Markley said. “The rain falls on
the just and the unjust.”
The person who is mature is

Republican, everyone would take
it. Hardly anything in this life real
ly matters, except spiritual things.
Since most things don’t matter,
give in,” Markley advised.
The person who is mature is
able to make decisions. “The
immature person wrings his hands
a lot. You never have all the facts
on which to base a decision. You
have to live on partial information
and move on,” he said.
The person who is mature
neither demands nor expects per
fection. While each person must
have standards, no one has perfec
tion to give. Markley paraphrased
the Bible as, “Don’t provoke your
children to wrath by demanding
too high a standard.”
The person who is mature will
care about others. ‘ ‘The Extension
service is a good example of car
ing about others,” he said. “The
United States is reputed all over
the world for Our charity. When
there are natural disasters, or a
bam bums down, or there is a
tragedy in the coal regions, people
give from the heart, not because
the government says they have to.
The United States has problems,
but we have maturity in this
aspect,” he said.
Capital Region Director
Also speaking at the banquet
was Dr. Paul Wangsness, capital
region director of the Penn State
Cooperative Extension Service.
Wangsness recently spoke with
Congressmen in Washington,
D.C. about such topics as food
safety, the environment, drug and
alcohol abuse, and animal welfare.
“The Congressmen get more let
ters on the subject of animal wel
fare than on any other topic,” he
said.
