SEYMOUR DAILY TRIBUNE, SEYMOUR, INDIANA SATURDAY, MAY 5, 1984 Family Living Guidelines for teen-age Dear Readers: A clipping came to me with no indication of its origin. The last three words were "Don Fay, Avon." If there is such a person and such a place I would like to give him credit. The subject Runaway Teens. Here is a version that has been sharply edited in the interest of space: Too many well meaning members of a community are willing to take in a teen when their own child brings him home and says, "His parents kicked him out and he doesn't have a place to stay. Can we let him stay here?" Chances are if you say "yes," you will be sorry unless you follow a few guidelines.
1. Set the rules before you give him permission to stay. Discuss them. Make changes that are mutually agreeable. Write them down and get him to sign them.
He should have a copy as well as you. Each rule should spell -out the consequences if it is broken. The rules must be enforced with no exception. The first time you backslide you will lose control of 1 the situation. 2.
Call the parents. Tell them you have their child and would like to talk with them. When you hear their side you will probably learn the teen was thrown out because of anti social behavior, or he chose to leave rather than obey the rules set down by his parents. 3. Your should be to send the teen back home.
This is where he belongs, and where he must learn to face the responsibilities rather than run away from them. 4. Make the teen work. Don't treat him as a guest. He must clean 1 his room, help with the laundry, do dishes, mow the lawn.
The more you can find for him to do the better. 5. Make him live up to your standards. If you go to church, insist that Immanuel LWML sees Navajo Indian slides Larry and Ruth Thomas showed slides of their mission service in the Navaho Indian Reservation in New Mexico when Lutheran Women's Missionary League met April 26 at Immanuel Lutheran Church Social Room. Joan Roth, missionary service chairman, told of a need for sewing kits for missions.
She explained how to make them and said they may be taken to the LWML District Convention June 20-22 at Notre Dame. Mrs. Roth also told about "Trash for Treasures," a practice of saving grocery and household labels which can be redeemed by seminary students. Beulah Clark told of the group's sewing projects and stressed the need for these items at the nursing homes. Thank- you notes were read from nursing homes for donated sewed items.
Members were reminded of the Zone workshop at 1:30 p.m. Sunday at St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Brownstown. Members are asked to take shoe box size boxes to the workshop. Janet Benter reported 10,000 lbs.
of stamps were collected for mission in 1983. She said this amounted to almost $10,000 and encouraged members to continue saving stamps. Frances Anderson led the closing hymn. Hostesses were Lois Akins, Mrs. Roth 'and Margaret Stockelman.
Others attending were Loretta Baker, Irma Bobb, Betty Bobb, Margaret Breitfield, Angeline Brethauer, Laura Brunow, Helen Goecker, Verna Holtman, Irma Lange, Lorna Pardieck. Velora Pollert, Luella Rittman, Florence Ring, Malinda Steltenpohl, Hilda, Tormoehlen, Anna Tungeitt, -Adrene Wunder and Hilda Auffenberg, a guest. Hints from Heloise DEAR HELOISE: The gifts I choose for baby showers are strictly practical. I pack them in a small basket so that when the gift is gone the basket is still useful. I line up disposable diapers in a rectangular basket or fill a round one with a variety of baby food.
A stuffed animal sitting in a basket with a ball and a rattle is cute. There are other possibilities for other occasions. A housewarming gift could be a complete meal or bread, wine, cheese and fruit in a picnic basket. Hostess gifts, such as fancy soaps or candies, can be packed on a wicker platter. When we are invited to watch sports events at someone's home, we take along a wicker bowl lined with paper napkins and filled with popcorn.
You can mail canister baskets filled with cookies or pecans for holiday gifts. There is no end to the ideas. Mrs. G.G. CARPET FRESHENER Dear Heloise: Anyone who Photo by Jim Noelker features two large County stone.

I heat all those little tidbits up, some I dress up with a little cheese or some. gravy, put them in my best only" bowls and have a buffet style, serveyourself dinner.
