Trustee Lamm said he thinks his township’s levy will actually be less than the proposed 49-cent rate since he lopped a half million off the estimated valuation since a number of property owners are appealing their assessment to the state, and he doesn’t think it will come any where near the half million mark he has set. His published budget sets the township valuation at $13,071,330.

[Topics..l By TONI And now for some "blunt talk to you parents of teen-agers—“about love and marriage.” We have heard from many of you about last week’s column; some even said they gave the column to their teen-ager. This reminds us of the mother who tosses her adolescent daughter a book on menustration and thinks she has told her all the facts of life. “They know everything anyway,” you say. Yes, but how do they learn it? They learn, in the grades, from smutty stories about traveling salesmen and farmer’s daughters—that they don’t half understand. And they hear these things under circumstances that make “sex” seem dirty and forbidden. (To quote Rev. L. L. Thompson, who said it so beautifully:) “And people become ignorant or misinformed about life’s most creative force . . . and embarrassed at love’s deepest intimacy, and a

sense of guilt comes over the body’s most potent passion.” \ It is because love is “life’s most creative force . . . the body’s most potent passi m” that our children should be pr operly informed about it. Not through classmates misinformation but through a parent’s love and knowledge. But what are you going to say to your children about sex? “Sex is bad so don’t indulge.” Don’t make out because I say so!” “You can get syihilis and gonorrhea.” Well, is sex “bad”? No, we know that it isn’t. We know that “love’s deepest intimacy” was given to man for the perpetuation of man-kind. Every mother knows that feeling the flutter of life in her body can be beautiful and a thing to wonder at. So, we know that sex is not bad—unless—it is the “be-al and end-all of life.” Again Rev. Thompson’s words. And to ycur child’s “Why can’t 'l? This is one subject about which you can’t answer: Because I say so!” The pcssibility of syphilis or gonorrhea might deter your boy or girt when he or she learns that they are ugly, painful diseases that cous; sterility and death; but will this be enough? We do not think so! We believe that education about sex must have finr in a belief in God,

why God made us the way he did, , and what our purpose in life is. A child must learn that within i his body he possesses the ability i to bring forth a new life, that this I ability should be guarded and cherished, and that this ability should not be used until a home, father and mother await the new life entering the world. But above all he should be taught that God is omnipotent and omnipresent and knows and punishes misuse of his wonderful gift. This training about God and sex must begin, of course, with the very young child. And the child must be led by a loving parent. It’s not always easy to be a loving parent because a parent who loves his children must have a lot lof intestinal fortitude—or plain I old-fashioned guts! A loving parent will have the courage to say “No” to excessive indulgence in harmful eating; to say “No” to too many toys and to buying them out of their scrapes. (It’s amazing how readily a child will take the word “No,” however, when he’s accustomed to hearing it, and knows that his parent will not yield to crying, cajoling and stamping of feet.) A loving parent will not allow too many lessons and meetings to prohibit a child’s chance to play.

I A loving parent will know where • his child is at all times; will not allow a 12-year-old to dress like an adult: high heels, lipstick, and extreme dresses; and will not push his child into a too-early social life. And a loving parent will, when asked permission by his 16-year-old to marry, make these things I quite clear: 1) You are not going I to move in with us and make your father support two families, and 2) We will not make your car payments or rent payments.
