Do you spend the first 20 minutes
of each day deciding what you are
going to wear?
Has anyone ever said, ‘‘Do you
fell 0.K.?”’, when you feel fine?
Are you projecting the image you
want to project or are your asso-
ciates seeing something other than
what you had in mind?
Maybe you have heard of the
recent books on a ‘new’ color
theory, but do you know what it
means to you?
To learn how to take dressing for
success on and off the joba step
further come join us for a free
lecture.
“The Image You Project”, will be
presented by Sharon Friedman. Ms.
Friedman is an active associate of
First Class Image Consultants, Inc.
She will share her expertise by
briefly discussing the following
topics:
1. The theory of color and how to
make it work for you.
2. Building a “capsule wardrobe.”
3. The effective use of accessories
- how to tie it all together.
4. How to use what you have -
dress it up or down without invest-
ing a fortune.
5. Dress for business-dress for
success.
The only investment from you is a
few hours of your time that may
help you ‘conserve’ a few minutes
every morning.

free lecture please call the Office of
Continuing Education at College
Misericordia, 675-2181, ext. 331.

Family picnic
Dozens of Shriners and their
families enjoyed a ‘‘day out’
last week as the annual rem
Temple Family Picnic was
held at the country club in
Dallas. Shown here are
some scenes from the
picnic. In the top left photo,
as they prepare to feed
some hungry ‘‘picnickers’’
are, from left, Dorothy
Reake, Elmer Laskowski,
and Bernard Laskowski of
the Irem Temple Stewards.
Elmer and Bernard are
brothers. The top right photo

dale as he ‘‘goes for a

Using his head
Self-concept is the way we think
about ourselves and the feelings we
have about ourselves. These
thoughts and feelings can be posi-
tive or they can be negative. The
person who has positive thoughts
and feelings is said to have a
healthy-self-concept.
As adults, we can control and
influence our feelings about our-
selves. We can accept or reject
others’ opinions. We can monitor
the events in our lives that cause us
to feel one way or the other about
ourselves.
A young child's self-concept,
though, is determined mostly by the
‘“‘messages’’ he receives from
others, particularly his mother and
father, according to Growing Child,
the monthly child development
newsletter. These messages can be
deliberate or unconscious, verbal or
non-verbal.
Sometimes the message the child
receives is not what the parents
really intend. For example, a
parent may insist on doing every-
thing for the child, even the most
simple things the child could do for
himself. The parent thinks he or she
is sending the message: “I’m doing
all these things for you because I
love you.”
But really, the unconscious, non-
verbal message the child may be
getting is: ‘Always rely on Mom
and Dad to do everything for you
because you're dumb and helpless.’
To understand a child’s self-con-
cept you have to try to see the world
from his perspective. Even very
young children are very occupied
with developing competence - that
is, learning to do things themselves.
It is this continued striving for
competence that pushes children to
try new challenges and lead them
from one stage of development to
the next.
Parents can watch for the things
a child can do for himself and
encourage him to do them, even if
he cannot do them perfectly. The
more he learns to do for himself,
the more positive his self-concept
will be.
One of the most important factors
in the development of self-concept is
the parent’s attitudes towards the
child’s successes and failures. If the
most important factors in the devel-
opment of self-concept is the

nothing happens.
“I was being harassed by some
people who worked for another
resort in the area,” said DeReemer.
“One night I caught a girl red-
handed stealing all the letters off a
sign I had. I chased her right to her
home, and reported it to the police.
Nothing happened though, because
of who she was. This is definitely a
parent’s attitudes towards the
child’s successes and failures. If the
most important people in his life
view him as “dumb” or ‘‘helpless,”’
it will be almost impossible for him
to develop positive feelings of self-
worth. Mockery and sarcasm are
like the hot sun that causes a flower
to wither. But praise is like the
nurturing food that helps the self-
concept develop and blossom.

problem here.”
Although both Ward and
DeReemer claim to not know the
identity of the rumored ‘“‘man with
the shotgun”, Ward, who is pres-
ently the president of the Harveys
Lake Rod and Gun Club, admitted
that he wouldn't tell if he did know.
“We wouldn’t want to say
anyway, right?” he said. “I mean
he’s trying to catch the burglars.”

Board—
(Continued from page 1)
between the PSSPA, cafeteria work- §
ers’ union, and ARA as they (board 5
members) have no standing to \
intervene in what is an ARA policy F
matter. Ms. Adams, however, disa- ]
greed, saying that the board does
have significant influence with
which to meet with both groups and
to try to work out an equitable
solution.
Atty. Jones suwsequently agreed
to meet with both ARA and PSSPA,
but only if a letter is formally
presented to all parties. Jones said
he cannot guarantee expediency aig
the part of the ARA, but assured th&»
group the board would do what it
could to try to resolve the issues
before the beginning of the new
school year. School is scheduled to
open Aug. 27.
In other business of the evening,
Ellen Nagy, who spoke on behalf of
Ronald Moran, chairman of the
C.A.C.A., asked the board to recon-
sider some alternatives to the drop-
ping of the Driver’s Education and
DEAL Program, in-school suspen-
sion program.
Nagy was assured that these
alternatives are currently being
considered, though no finalized
plans were available at the meeting,
Ms. Nagy also voiced concern about
the previously cited policy that one
year after the current junior-senior
high school principal program was
instituted, it would be looked into as
to its overall efficacy to the school
system. The board agreed that that
kind of research is necessary.
Marguerite Frye noted her con-
cern for proper nutrition for the
students and cited the junk foods
that are offered in the school cafet-
eria. Board member Barbra Mead
concurred with the complaint and
added that only those students who
have purchased a complete lunch
should be able to purchase chips,
corn curls, etc. Board member
Ernest Ashbridge acknowledged
there is little way to control those
students who take bagged lunches to
school.
Mrs. Mead then made a motion to
keep the price of school lunches the
same as last year. The motion was
seconded by board member Dr.
William Camp. Also approved was
the district’s Free and Reduced
Lunch Program.
Gerald Wycallis, acting superin-
tendent, reported the Dallas
Kiwanis Club will cooperate with |
whatever decision is made concern-
ing damages to the soccer field
incurred by the recent carnival
sponsored by Kiwanis. The carnival
was held on the soccer field at the
junior high school. It was reported
that ruts were made in the field and
an estimate of $400 has been
received to realign the ground and
reseed the area where the rutting
occurred. There are, however, |

inquiries being made at present as
to the possibility of an insurance >)
claim.
Approval of the following new
employees was made by the board: g
Mrs. Louise Capozzi, secretary; &
Douglas Edwards, custodian;
Michael O’Malia, junior high school
football coach; and Gerald Roll-
man, assistant football coach. Other |
approved personnel include Mrs.
Georgia Jenkins, long-term substi-
tute; Dawn Marshall, senior high
school science teacher; Roy Stam-
baugh, custodian #4; and Mrs. Phyl-
lis Culver, junior high school house-
keeper.
A motion by Don Jones to hire
professional and non-professional
employees at the rate of $4.35 per
hour was questioned by Ashbridge,
who suggested the employees be
paid at least $4.50 per hour.
Fund
(Continued from page 1)
“We don’t believe in charging
anyone,” Besecker said. ‘‘No
matter if they have pledged to us or
not. We are so proud of our commu- 9
nity and they have taken such good
care of us, that we’ve never had to
bill anyone.”
The company’s primary way of
raising money is through its annual
fund drive. According to Besecker,
this involves a lot of devotion and
licking of envelopes.
“We send out letters in May to
every family in our area. That’s
when we ask them to donate what
they can to the company. In late
July, we send follow-up letters to
those families who haven't
responded. Hopefully, they will
respond to the second plea.”
Besides raising money and, of
course, responding to emergency
calls, the company also keeps itself
fit with training sessions. A meeting
is held every Wednesday evening
for the volunteers. Training sessions
and work bees are scheduled for
each meeting.
One has to wonder why someone
would want to get himself or herself
involved in such a demanding volun-
teer job.
“It’s in my blood,” said Besecker.
“My father was the fire chief in w
Dallas for 12 to 14 years, and I got
involved as soon as I turned 18.
(The age one has to be to join the
company). I guess you could say
I’ve got roots in the company.”
Officers for the company are as
follows: President, Bob Richardson;
vice-president, Tim Carroll; secre-
tary, Lynn Sheehan; treasurer,
Paul Labar; fire chief, Bob |
Besecker; assistant fire chief, Tom
Doughton; ambulance chief, Jack
Wega; assistant ambulance chief,
Frank Michael Jr.
If you have received one of the
fire and ambulance company’s
follow-up letters for a donation,
perhaps you should give it serious
thought and help them out. You can
depend on them. Can they depend
on you?
