To celebrate this day and Halloween, Brownie Troop 103, third graders from Syracuse, had a busy meeting on Monday. The girls took “ghost” favors to Lakeland Day Care Center.

LOUISA'S LETTER (« -•) ? teS

Dear Louisa, I have a sister who has one child whom she loves very much, but she is so possessive and so eager for him to be perfect i*n ‘ every respect that I think she is doing him harm. If I ask him a question she , doesn’t give him time to think about what he should answer — she answers the question by telling him what to say. This goes on all of the time. Don’t you think this is bad? Won’t the child always rely on someone else to think things out for him, even as he grows older? Auntie — Me. Answer: This is a fault that many

— VICTIMS RIGHTS It seems that certain factions of our society are obsessed with protecting the rights of criminals. I think it’s about time our laws were written to protect the rights of the victims as well as the criminal. ILLEGAL DRUGS The drug crisis is a clear, black and white issue. There can be no grays when it comes to dealing with drug dealers who are preying on our children and ruining their lives. I want Indiana to be known as a State that drug dealers avoid. I will support tougher laws and mandatory sentences for dealers. Drugs are not bad because they are illegal, they are illegal because they are bad. ENVIRONMENT I recognize that conflict can develop between economic expansion and the need to protect the delicate balance of our environment. I intend to spend a significant amount of my time in the Indiana Legislature to bring about a good marriage of these dynamic elements of our district.

That is the way children learn. A small child goes around touching things — that is one way of learning. It is not being mischievous but is his way of learning about things in the world by touch. By letting him answer questions in his own way he is exercising his mind. If he needs or asks for help that is the time for the parent to come to his aid.
