Children Take Over at Home From Waycross Journal-Herald A rumor is making the rounds these days that no longer are parents running our homes. The children, so the report goes, have taken over. There is no refuting the fact that in some homes youngsters rule the roost. They can get just about anything out of their parents, even when the grownups know that they shouldn’t give in. For example, many parents in Waycross and elsewhere permit their underage children to drive the family car even though they are aware that is is a violation of the law- It was perhaps with such things in mind that the Hous ton, Tex., police department issued a pamphlet on “How to Make a Child Into a Delinquet in 12 Easy Rules. We herewith pass them on with the suggestion that they apply to our children as well as to the neighbors . 1. Begin in infancy to give a child everything he wants. In this way he will grow up to believe that the woild owes him a living. 2. When he picks up bad words, laugh at him. This will make him think he is cute. 3. Never give him any spiritual training. Wait until he is 21 and let him decide for himself. 4. Avoid the use of the word “wrong ” He may develop a guilty complex. This will condition him to believe later, ■when he is arrested for stealing cars, that society is a gainst him and he is being persecuted. 5. Pick up everything he leaves lying around. Do every thing for him so that he will be experienced in throwing all responsibility on others. 6. Let him read any printed matter he can get his hands on. Be careful that the silverware and the glass ware is sterilized, but let his mind feast on gar age 7. Quarrel frequently in his presence. In this way he won’t be too shocked when the home breaks up a r - 8. Give him all the spending money he wants- Never e him earn his own. . , , . . 9. Satisfy his every craving for food, dnnk and com o . Denials may lead to harmful frustration. 10. Take his part against neighbors, teachers and police men. They are all prejudiced against your child. 11. When he gets into real trouble, apologize for y, self by saying, "I never could do anything with him 12. Prepare for a life of grief. You are likely to have it. Wright-Manning Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Wright of White Oak announce the en gagement and approaching mar riage of their daughter, Barbara Gail, to D. Hubert Manning, the son of Mrs. Ida H. Strickland of Nahunta and the late T. J. Man ning Sr. Miss Wright is a Junior at Georgia Southern College in Statesboro, where Mr. Manning received his Bachelor of Science Degree in June.

Box 128, Nahunta, Ga., Thursday, June 23, 1960 Brantley Crops Looking Good Loyd Says County Agent, George A. Loyd, said this week that Tobacco, corn and other crops are looking ex tremely good, except for some small areas where the showers have missed. However, very few crops have been injured beyond recovery, Loyd stated, and the good rains which came during the week-end will no doubt help to bring the crops out in the drought stricken areas. The County Agent said that tobacco harvesting seems to be getting off to a later start than usual, but that is due to the late ness of planting and will in all probability increase the weight of the crop, since late planted to bacco usually is thin and light when it grows off and matures fast. Concerning the use of MH-30 on tobacco, for sucker control, Loyd says that it is a very con troversial question and that with all the recent publicity it has been given, he thinks farmers should be familiar enough with its advantages and disadvantages to make up their own minds re garding its use, on the basis of how it may affect them as in dividual farmers. Tobacco Support Price Set at 55.5 Per Pound Loans will be available on 1960- crop flue-cured tobacco at an average level of 55.5 cents per pound, the Department of Agri culture has announced. This is the same level available for the 1959 crop, as directed by existing law. Beginning with the 1961 crop, the price supports available for all kinds of tobacco will be de termined by adjusting the 1959 support level upward or down ward in proportion to changes in the parity index (prices paid by farmers including interest, taxes, and wage rates), using the pre vious 3-year moving average. George Dykes, Chairman, Brantley Agricultural Stabliza tion and Conservation Committee, explains that 1960-crop price sup port, as in previous years, will be available to growers of eli gible tobacco through growers’ associations on the basis of offi cial standard grades at a specific rate for each grade. Growers are reminded that price support will be made avail able only if the acreage of tobac co harvested is within the appli cable allotment established for the farm. V 4 V V J IB -fl / I JR- .

II torts From HINGTON I I ATTENTION FOCUSED on this country’s program of aid to dependent children as the result of the alarming nationwide in crease in illegitimacy has raised a serious question about the sound ness of its basic concept. The program was initiated a quarter of a century ago for the K” purpose of aid- j f ing widowed F 4 mothers to 1 support their I children and to keep their fa mill’s togeth er. Since time o ■k JRHI Security cov erage has been expanded to the point where virtually all such cases are now provided for under the terms of that program. That has left ADC, as the dependent children program is known, as a catchall for support of children born out of wedlock or deserted by their fathers. This evolution and the widely-publicized attend ant abuses have caused a great loss of public confidence in the program and a swelling criticism of it as subsidization of irrespon sible—and, in many cases, crimin al—social behavior. THE FACT THAT the ADC program today is principally con cerned with nameless and aban doned children unfortunately has obscured the basic fallacy of the program as presently constituted; thakis, in requiring the absence of a father as a prerequisite for assistance it places a premium upon broken homes and thus en courages the existence of the very conditions it was established to correct Since first expressing my in terest in having ADC re-evaluated in the light of its effect upon unacceptable social relationships, I have been in correspondence with a number of state welfare directors and I have found that Keep up with the News About Your Home County Subscribe for the Brantley Enterprise, $2.50 a Year, $3.00 Outside the County.

Robert Lightsey Died Wednesday* In Boat Mishap Robert L. Lightsey, a 47-year old Pierce county native, was killed in a boating accident at the pier at Dover’s Bluff last Wednesday night about 11:00 P. M. Lightsey was thrown against the wooden pier, and his com panion in the boat, Leon Coch ran, was thrown into the water. Cochran escaped uninjured. Funeral services were held at the Darling Funeral Home Chapel in Blackshear Saturday at 10:00 A. M., conducted by the Rev. H. Lester Dixon. Burial was in Oak land cemetery in Waycross. He had lived in Dinsmore, Fla., for the past 15 years, and was employed as a boilermaker with a construction company. He was a World War II veteran. Survivors are his wife, Mrs. Merita Bass Lightsey; two sons, Daniel and Marvin Lightsey; two sisters, Mrs. Alvin Tyre, Alma, Mrs. Charles H. Smith, Tifton; three brothers, Ernest, Barney, and Charley Lightsey, all of Way crss; father, Newton Lightsey, Dinsmore. virtually all of them feel that the program should be revised to put the emphasis on the welfare of the child rather than the status of the parent. As Frank M. Woods, Di rector of the Nebraska State Divi sion of Public Welfare, empha sized to me, instead of being a deterrent to common-law marital arrangements and other illicit situations, ADC actually encou rages them “because it is when legality and conventionality of relationships are established that the automatic disqualification for aid takes place.” THE CONSENSUS OF the state welfare officials with whom I corresponded was that the suc cess and acceptability of the ADC program could be greatly im proved simply by eliminating the present rigid federal eligibility requirements and permitting in stead complete flexibility on the state and local levels to handle each case in the light of its own peculiar circumstances. Thus, if an unwed mother misbehaved, the child could be removed from her custody; if a father could be lo cated and returned, he could be assisted in re-establishing his family and getting on his feet; adoptions could be encouraged and assisted; and welfare money could be summarily removed from the hands of the chiselers and the depraved. While such a change might mean more in initial program costa, by assuring that unfortun ate children would be properly reared for responsible citizenship, it ultimately would pay for itself in both tangible benefit to the public treasury and in intangible benefit to society. Needless to say, the welfare bureaucrats here in Washington are unalterably op posed to the proposal.
