David Beviile Jackson Presbyterian Church LONELINESS I have read several articles recently that said we in America are being swept by an “epidemic of loneliness.” Many counselling centers have seen a tremendous rise in requests for help. In many cases the primary problem is loneliness. We are all familiar with the pain of loneliness. We are lonely when we lose someone we love. We can be lonely in our family life. We can be lonely sitting at our desk at the office. We can even be lonely in a large group of people. Loneliness touches our lives no matter who we are or where we have been. Whether we are married, single, widowed, divorced, young, or old, we know the depths of loneliness. A clue to helping us deal with these pains is found in Psalm 31. The Psalmist said that he was so alone that he cried out to God for help. God heard him and met his needs. I believe the key here is reaching out. Sometimes I feel like we in America have fenced our lives in. We are keeping to ourselves and not reaching out to others around us. It’s precisely when we think we don’t need others that we find ourselves the most lonely. But reaching out to God and others helps break the bonds of loneliness that grip our lives. This means getting involved with other people and asking for God’s help. Too often when we are lonely we wait for others to make the first move. Actually what is needed is for us to make the first move and reach out to them. Our Lord was a good example for us. Jesus reached out to people all the time and touched their lives. We can reach out and touch the lives of people around us too. I think then we will discover that the pain of loneliness which grips our lives will lose its power. Early Symposiums Originally, the word “symposium” meant “drinking together.” In an cient Greece, a symposium was a catered party at which from three to nine guests would eat and drink and be entertained by dan cers, musicians, jugglers and courtesans.

Members of the YCC will received a salary of $2.30 an hour for a 30-hour work week.

State Wildlife Is Temporarily Protected, A bill just passed by Georgia’s General Assembly and signed into law by Governor George Busbee will protect the state’s game and fish until the General Assembly enacts comprehen sive legislation, Joe D. Tanner, Commissioner of Department of Natural Re sources, announced today. The bill, admittedly a stop-gap measure, accom plishes three major objec tives. It prevents the taking of big game: deer, bear, turkey; it establishes closed days for shad fishing in coastal streams, and it provides for its own expira tion on March 15 of this year. Commissioner Tanner ex pressed his appreciation of the action of the General Assembly and the Governor. He said, “The measure assures that our wildlife programs won’t stumble. With the Governor and the General Assembly providing the strong back up that they have demonstrated, we aim to keep our wildlife resources growing for the benefit of all Georgians today and tomor row.” ■ Teenagers Get Driving Tips, Also Drinking When your teenager’s world expands so that it might include drinking and driving, it’s time for serious action on your part. Talk with your adolescent about drinking, and about drinking and driving. Thousands of teenagers are in accidents that involve alcohol. And, this can happen whether your son or daughter is drinking or not. Riding with someone who has been drinking can put your child in real danger. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administra tion has put together a booklet of tips that have helped others in talking with teenagers about drinking and driving. For your free copy of How to Talk to Your Teenager About Drinking and Driving, send a postcard to the Consumer Information Center. Dept. 515 E, Pueblo, Colorado 81009. First, be honest with yourself. What kind of an example do you set about drinking and driving? If in the past you have used bad judgment, admit it to your youngsters, but vow to do better. When you talk with your teenager, express your feel ings honestly, and encourage your son or daughter to do the same. Talk with your youngster about ideas on what can be done when a friend who has had too much to drink is going to drive. Can he or she offer to drive the car for the friend (assuming your child has not had too much to drink?) Can they both ask to stay at the party-giver’s home for the night, notifying all parents of their decision? Talk with your youngsters about making an agreement so they'll know of your full support if they get into a tight situation. Agree that if your teen will call you-at any hour, in any situation where they have had too much to drink, or if a HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE KEYS TO YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS? To Keep Out Unauthorized Persons Have Your LOCKS REKEYED or INSTALLED by COOK’S MACHINE & LOCK SERVICE 775-4230 MORTGAGE o E Y PET of the WEEK by Dale Whiten Jay and Mallory Bentley, who live on Mulberry Street in Jackson, have a pet dog which they named after one of their favorite “Southern” foods-Cornbread. Cornbread .is “mostly Collie” and is seven months old. Jay and Mallory, whose parents are Mr. and Mrs. Jack Bentley, think he is a good playmate, and they like to wrestle with him or play tether ball with him, or Cornbread likes to pester them while they are watch ing television with attempts at continuing the playing of which he never seems to tire. And Cornbread never seems to get tired of any activity. Mrs. Bentley says he is an “incredible bundle of energy,” and he does indeed look the part as he bounds through the house with friend who drove has had too much to drink, you will come and get them, any place, no* questions asked and no argument, or you will pay for a taxi to bring them home. Emphasize that your con cern is for your teenager’s life, not the car. Remember that talking with your teenagers about this is not a single, one-time discussion. When they’ve acted responsibly in a situation, show your ap proval. And keep the chan nels of communication open so that your son or daughter feels comfortable in coming to you with any problem.

One who is self-assertive can express himself honestly, achieve his goals, make his own choices and be responsi ble for them. That’s what makes a self-assertive per son feel good about himself. On the other hand, the sub missive or aggressive per son usually isn’t really very happy with himself. He manages to find someone to blame for his decisions and shifts responsibility in his own behavior to someone else. Rationalization is his common defense.

Though he is aggressive, Cornbread’s playfulness makes him quite likeable, and he makes new friends rather easily. And his preferences for things to eat are not exacting--“He will eat anything, even raw rutabagas,” says Mrs. Bent ley. Both aggressive and sub missive behavior can read ily be seen in children. Sub missive children may sit and cry and make no effort to recover their losses. Like the aggressive child, the submissive one finds others to blame for his failures. Adults often play the same games blaming, ducking responsibility, criticizing, shifting accountability for behavior over to the others, and so on. But the self-assertive per son, although he makes mistakes, is willing to say he’s wrong and to change if necessary. He also stands up and defends his behavior if he believes he’s right. He doesn’t need or want to blame others for what he does.
