Page 2 ’ — Griffin Daily News Saturday, March 26, 1977 Telephone Pioneers sponsor eye tests The Telephone Future Pioneers, in conjunction with the Georgia Society for the Prevention of Blindness, is sponsoring a pre-school screening free of charge for area pre-school children. This eye examination is required to enter school. Message to teachers and parents In preparation for the eye test we will be conducting, some prior training of the children in playing the "E" game would be very helpful and facilitate the time it takes for us to do the tests Your cooperation is greatly appreciated First, explain that you are going to play a pointing game" with him (Don't coax him If he doesn't want to play, choose another time ) Show him the big ' E" and teach him to point like it 'points" when held in the four different directions (Up. Down, Right, and Left—See drawings below) Say to him "point like this " Show him if he needs help Continue until he can point in the four directions without help Praise him each time he responds, even if the answer is wrong ® Pomi Up Point Down Pmnt Ttnr. Way . Point 1 hat Wa, ■Bk © .Ml Grandsons act like Cain and Able By Abigail Van Buren © 1977 by Chicago Tribune N Y News Synd Inc. DEAR ABBY: My son brings his two children over here and leaves them with me all day. They are both boys, ages 5 and 7, and they are a handful! I know boys will be boys, but these two are unbelievable. The competition between them is terrific, and the fighting and yelling really get on my nerves. I’ve tried to reason with the boys, but while I’m talking, their eyes reveal that each is contemplating where he can hit his brother where it will hurt the most. Even my large dog cowers in a corner of the garage for the day. Don’t tell me that I need a man around the house. I AM the man. Why can’t they act like brothers? GRANDPA: LAGUNA BEACH DEAR GRANDPA: They ARE acting like brothers. (Cain and Abel.l Competition and a certain amount of scrap ping and yelling is normal for siblings of that age, but if they get on your nerves, ask your son not to leave the boys in your care until they shape up. DEAR ABBY: My wife reads your column religiously, and I read it when she makes me. She has a 46-year-o)d brother we think should be married. He is good looking, dresses well, drives an expensive car, and has a secure job, money in the bank and a pleasing personality. We have fixed him up with lots of dates. He always en joys himself, but unless someone arranges a date for him, he is just as happy being without one. I thought maybe you had a list of Lonely Hearts’ Clubs we could draw from. We don't know any more eligible ladies he hasn’t taken out. Thank vou. S AlCl IN MPLS. DEAR SAM: Show me a good-looking, 46-year-old bachelor with a secure job, pleasing personality, money in the bank, a good wardrobe and an expensive car, and I’ll show you a man who can find his own wife—if he wants one, that is. DEAR ABBY: My parents have been married 26 years, and they've been through a lot together—more good than bad. Mother has had 15 pregnancies, of which six children lived. But now she has a new problem —alcohol! Dad had an ulcer operation and had to file bankruptcy. He is also an alcoholic, but he's not as bad as Mom. I am the oldest child and have a family of my own. But seeing my parents this way now makes me sick. Mother wants a divorce. Dad really loves her and has tried to make things better. He has talked with each of us older children, but I just don’t know' what to say. They both told me when I married that “marriage is no bed of roses: it’s only as good as you make it." Why can't parents practice what they preach? I don’t want to see them divorced. (They still have a boy, 9, and a girl, 4, at home.) How can I snap them out of this mess? TROUBLED DEAR TROUBLED: As long as your parents are looking for answers in alcohol, they'll pay little attention to your pleas. Urge them to call Alcoholics Anonymous. (They're listed in the phone book.) If your parents can handle this one major problem, all the others will be much easier to solve. Hate to write letters? Send $1 to Abigail Van Buren, 132 Lasky Dr., Beverly Hills, Calif. 90212, for Abby’s booklet "How to Write Letters for All Occasions.” Please enclose a long, self-addressed, stamped (240 envelope. The screening will be held April 3, from 1-4 p.m. at South Lake Mall. Children should be accompanied by their parents, who will be asked to provide needed information.
