The Winning Edge
Personal Attitude Can
Be A Main Ingredient
By OR. JOHN
EARLRABER
Most parents don’t like to
admit that the attitude, ac
tions and health habits of the
parent are the biggest fac
tors in the winning attitude
and ultimate performance of
their own child.
When you are sitting
around the kitchen table
talking about an upcoming
game, what do you tell your
child about their individual
or collective teams’ chances
Of winning? Do you tell your
child about the greatness of
the opponent, or do you tell
your child that they can win,
even if the odds are a little
uneven?
Do you, the parent, smoke
and then tell your child that
he should work hard to get in
shape? Are you, the parent,
aware that when smoking
you are demonstrating one
of the single biggest health
hazards? Smoking is a
health hazard that is sure to
help make your child a loser.
As a parent, when was the
last time you got off your fat
duff and did a little exercise
in order to set a positive ex
ample for your child? Per
haps you just sit around
Hercules
Is Sold
To Mexico
MARIETTA - The first
Lockheed Hercules trans
port to be purchased in Mex
ico has been sold by the
Lockheed-Georgia Company
to PEMEX, the Mexican
government owned oil
consortium.
Value of the sale, includ
ing the aircraft, spare parts,
crew training and technical
support, amounted to sl3
million, Lockheed an
nounced. Delivery is to take
place this month. i.
The big “Dash 30”
Hercules l5 feet longer
than the standard C-130
will be put on duty support
ing Mexico’s booming oil
field development. It will
airlift drilling supplies, in
cluding drill rigs, up to
strips near to oil field drill
sits. The Hercules has been
used in oil field development
in South America, Africa
and along Alaska’s north
slope, but this will be its first
use in Mexico.
Mexico becomes the 48th
country to have the Hercules
in operation or on order. The
Lockheed-Georgia built
project is ideally suited to
nation-building roles such as
oil exploration. Featuring a
large 9x10x55-foot cargo
compartment, the Super
Hercules also provides a
truckbed height cargo floor,
as well as an integral ramp
that lowers to allow equip
ment to be driven into and
out of the cargo hold. The
airplane’s high flotation
landing gear and low speed
controllability in flight en
able it to land on marginal,
unpaved strips of sand, dirt,
snow and ice. At the same
time, the L-100 has long
range and a speed of over
300 knots on long range
cruise.
Lockheed-Georgia has
sold more than 1,600 copies
of the versatile Hercules and
continues to build the air
craft at the rate of three per
month.

Miss. The moisture level
in the air and not the tem

critical factor affecting the

This finding runs contrary

doing little, if anything,
physically, hoping your child
will be physically motivated
by someone else. Naturally,
motivation is someone else’s
responsibility and not the
parent. Isn’t that right?
Do you tell your child that
winning is not all that impor
tant? You, the parent, are
only right in this attitude ex
pression if winning comes at
the expense of personal,
physical and mental injury
to your child or others.
Otherwise, it’s dam impor

child to put forth every

When your child mentions
the name of the next oppo

you grimace as if to say
“Oh, no,” you have planted
a potential seed of doubt in
your child.

do with my child’s winning.
To this end, anyone with a
small amount of common
sense will agree with you.
On the flip side of the coin
anyone with a hint of com
mon sense will tell you that
personal attitude is the main
ingredient in developing a
winner. You, the parent, are
without question the chef
who puts the ingredients of a
winning attitude into your
child’s life.
By the way, how are you,
the parent, doing with rais
