possible acquisition of the

Insurance Building. They

on the proposed youth
activity program to be
. initiated for all young
persons in the borough.

proposal agreeably, and
decided to draft a letter
to the proper agency
requesting tax exoneration
for the owner. Newton
explained that ‘‘a coffee
house setting with an
informal atmosphere—
something which would
relate to teens—is planned.
This would be a big step
forward and include the only
counciling center in the
area.’

Parents of the Week (cont.)
[continued from front page]
Sue, who is a junior in
high school, has made some
plans for the future. She
plans to attend college and
possibly study sociology. “I
don’t know yet,”” she
admits.
“There seems to be so
much pressure today to
decide what it is you are
going to be,”” Mrs. Russell
“Why even the
youngest girls are under
certain pressures regarding
career choices. We want
them to be prepared, but we
don’t want them pushed.”
The Russells feel that at
this point in the girl's lives,
they should be concentrat-
ing on various activities.
This, the Russells feel, will
help them in deciding what
they want do with their
lives.
“It is the perfect time in
the history of our country to
be a woman,” says Mr.
“At work I was
introduced to a book for-high
school girls entitled I Can
Do Anything. I sent off for
it, because that sort of sums
up my feelings about my
daughters. They can do
anything.’’
‘““They are involved with
so many things and are
capable of doing so many
things that I cannot do,”
says Mrs. Russell. ‘‘They
are all fairly musical.”
Sue has been playing the
piano for the past seven
years and has just started
giving lessons to Jennifer.
In addition to the piano, she
plays the clarinet and the
saxophone and is a member
of the school band.
Sarah is also a member of
the band, her instrument
being the flute. ‘““And Jill
plays the flutophone—
morning, noon and night.
She can hardly wait to get
home from school so she can
play it,”” says Mrs. Russell.
‘“And she is also teaching
herself to play the piano.
She may be the real
musician in this family.”’
The girls are also active
with various athletic act-
ivities. Sue runs track at
Donegal, and Sarah plays
field hockey. Jennifer and
Jill have both taken gym-
nastic lessons, and they are
all involved in summer
league softball and swim-
ming.
‘‘Beth got a trophy on the
swim team,’’ says Jennifer.
“So did you,’’ Beth returns.
““I know,’’ grins Jennifer.
“I spent quite a bit on
sundaes this past summer,”’
chuckles Mr. Russell. ‘‘You
see, I told them they would
get a sundae each time they
won a ribbon in a swimming
meet. It took me by
surprise, the number of
ribbons they did win.”
The girls also participate
in both church camp and girl
scout activities. Sue hopes
to work at church camp all
this summer.
Sarah says the highlight
of her camping career was a
60 mile raft trip down the
Susquehanna. ‘‘Her clothes
were so filthy that we had to
throw them away when she
got home. I never saw
anything like it!”’
Beth remembers the 72
mile bike hike she made
with the girl scouts. She is
also looking forward to high
school because of her
interest in drama. ‘‘They
are all interested in some-
thing different,’”’ says Mrs.
Russell. ““Isn’t it great?!”
The girls have also
followed their mother in the
interest of needle crafts.
The Russell home is decor-
ated with macrame wall-
hangings and needlepoint
designs done by Jane. She
also does quilting, loves to
sew and knit and grow
plants. ‘She made us each a
down jacket,” says Beth
proudly.
All of the girls do
latchhook, Sue does’ string
art and made herself a
sweater this winter.
Jane is also pleased that
one of her daughters has her
love of doll houses. ‘‘My
father made me a doll house
when I was a girl, and I
loved that doll house. I gave
it to each of my daughters,
and not until Jennifer has
one shown any great love for
it. Jennifer, however, loves
decorating it and collecting
furniture for it. I love to help
her, too.
“All of the girls have
different abilities, and I am
thankful for each one of
them.”’
“Yes,” says Mr. Russell.
‘My girls can do anything.”’
