“Are You Afraid of Your Children?" will lx* the topic of the talk given by Judge William Obenniller this Friday night at the Walkerton Elementary School Building This famous man. known around the state as the “Spanking Judge" is a noted speaker and it is with pride that the Walkerton PT A has secured hi.« time for the talk Friday night. Judge Obermiller bases his opinions on the juvenile ] roblem as coming from the home. His talk centers around this thought and that if more parents would enforce discipline at home, the courts wouldn’t have the unpleasant task of trying to correct their behavior. Because of the nature of his talk. Judge Obermiller has requested that children and teens not be present The meeting will start promptly at 8:00 p m. Friday night and only a very short business meeting will precede the Judge.
