CHILDREN’S THEATRE COMING TO MILFORD — Hans Christian Anderson’s Chinese fairly tale, “The Nightingale,” will come alive for elementary school children in Indiana and Michigan this January through the Manchester College Touring Children’s Theatre Troupe. The troupe will be performing for Milford Elementary School on January 14 at 10 a.m. < The eight college students, directed by professor of speech communication and drama, Dr. Scott Strode, will spend 13 January days presenting 34 performances of “The Nightingale” as adapted by Brian Way. “The Nightingale” revolves around an emperor who wishes to have a nightingale, and sends his chancellor on a search for the bird. The emperor, insensitive to the feelings of others, first claims the bird for his own enjoyment, then banishes the nightingale in favor of a mechanical bird sent as a gift. When the emperor realizes his mistake, he falls into a deep sadness which can only be cured by the return of the real nightingale. Children in the audience are encouraged to assist in returning the real nightingale to the emperor.

ANIMAL REPORTS AT SYRACUSE — Animal reports written by students in Mrs. Lera Rinker’s reading class at Syracuse Elementary School have been completed. With the aid of Virginia Neisis and Pat Bartow, each child followed an outline and took notes from encyclopedias and resource books. Pencil copy rough drafts were checked for errors and corrected copies in ink were placed in covers with suitable illustrations. By taking each child step-by-step through this process, the students better understand how to make a good report. Mrs. Rinker feels that many students are often asked to give reports when they do not have adequate instruction to produce an organized report. Pictured are several of Mrs. Rinker’s students in front the the completed reports which have been tacked up for display. Seated in front is Calvin Carr. Kneeling are Penny White and Mike Howell. Standing are Erin Titus and William Bryant. (Photo by Leslie Miller)

Changes at Milford Library By MARYJURSS Librarian Some changes will be made at the Milford Public Library during 1986. Most noteworthy will be new library hours. We will be open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Hopefully this will be satisfactory to all our patrons. Thursday afternoons at 2 p.m. will be set aside whereby we can share an art or craft with our neighbors. Knitting, embroidery, quilting, counted cross stitch and needlepoint will be offered. If you don’t know how, come and learn the art; if you do know, come any way and share your skills with us. We hope that children seventh grade and up will be interested in learning and can come after school on Thursdays. There is much talent in Milford and we don’t want to lose it through neglect. This may be a good way to pass our skills on to the next generation. We are inviting adults to the 2 p.m. session which will begin January 23. The first craft will be knitting. A pattern for an easy sweater has been chosen. For more information call us at the library, 658-4312, or come into the library to register. You are asked to sign up please. The following books have been recently acquired by the library: Nonfiction: “Citizen Hughes,” by M. Drosnin; “Southern Living 1985 Annual Recipes,” cookbook; “The Good Cook,” Time Life; “The Road to Tokyo,” Time Life; “Fodor’s California 1986,” Travel Guide; “Fodor’s Canada 1986,” Travel Guide; “Chocolate Crazy,” by Hirsch, Sylvia, cookbook Fiction: “Cold Sassy Tree,” by Olive A.

A reminder to parents of children in the story hour program. Story hour will begin each Saturday at 10:30 a m. promptly and will end at 11:30 a. m. 1986:A good year By EDWARD THORLUND The magazine “U.S. News” has just published an issue largely devoted to business conditions expected in 1986. The gist of the presentation, quite lengthy, is that 1986 will be a good year. The danger, according to the majority of experts queried, is that Congress will not have the courage to follow through on its deficit reducing law of 1985 and actually reduce spending. By the end of the year (and the 99th Congress) if this comes to pass, then inflation might reappear and a recession could follow in 1987 — according to the majority of economic experts polled. The investor, then, should be encouraged by this outlook —of a growth rate between 3 and 4 percent. (Martin Feldstein is among those who expect this.) And as oil prices come down, beginning two months from now, probably, the growth rate might accelerate — depending on how much prices come down and how much this affects car-buying, building and the transportation industry.

'Tough Love' Rotary topic

David W. Robinson, program chairman for the SyracuseWawasee Rotary Club, introduced Ruth Angle during the Tuesday luncheon meeting. Miss Angle presented the “Tough Love” subject to the membership present. Miss Angle said the Tough Love is a support group for parents who must deal with problems in their own households during the time when their children are growing from teenagers into adults. The Tough Love Program is a program which used some of the principles of Alcoholic Anonymous to form support groups for parents in the community. In this situation, parents gather to talk to one another about the problems and how others have solved or have worked out solutions toward solving teenage problems in their families. The group in Syracuse was started last spring and has been growing steadily since then. She emphasized this is not a school program but rather one formed by parents with problems such as alcoholism, drug abuse, and teenage rebellion. She said when she and many others of us grew up, if we got in trouble in school we were also in trouble at home. This is not always the case today. Students and parents often try to find someone else to blame. The parents often blame the school system and the children blame both the school and their parents for their problems. “It’s not my fault,” is often the response. The parents are often the last ones to see the problem. ‘lf we can get to the parents with the problem early we may be able to start to solve it before it becomes a full-blown crisis. In the case of teenage alcoholism, it has been shown the growing young person is more susceptible to the problem than might the case when they have come to full maturity. The problem of t/eenage physical and

psychological growth combined with this susceptibility can result in a much more serious problem during this period of growth.” commented Miss Angle. Miss Angle introduced Sandy Cobbum. She said she started out looking at Tough Love with a negative attitude. She attended the meeting with skepticism. Ho we ver I, after attending meetings she and her husband found support from other parents with similar situations. She found this to be her “peer” group. Tough Love tries to create a controlled crisis in the family environment .in which the teenager must respond, Mrs. Cobbum stated. Some parents removed the wheels from the teenagers car or removed the doors from the bathroom or bedroom. Once they received the teenagers attention then a set of rules were set down which had to be followed. The parent had to make adjustments and change as the program progressed but they ha to take a stand. As behavior changed, things began to turn around. Slowly but surely they gained more and more strength to turn it completely around and see the chill take a new outlook on life. This became possible through the support of the Tough Love support group. They share their problems. They come head-to-head with their problems. They learned what youth peer pressure meant and that you do not have to blame yourself because of your child’s problems. Young people can make their own choice. Mrs. Cobbum concluded by saying that Tough Love can put things back on the right track. For further information on this group, people can contact Miss Angle is a counselor at Wawasee High School. Meeting of the Tpugh Love group are conducted in the Lakeland Youth Center at 7 p.m. each Thursday for those who are interested.
