S Florite can “take it” where the
traffic is hardest. It’s scrubproof,
scuffproof, weatherproof ... on
floors of wood, concrete or lino

faces. Especially effective on decks
of boats. ... Florite gives a tough,
durable, gleaming finish.

Sluggers Lose
ToTubize
Wednesday, May 7, 1947, our
local lads, the “Sluggers,” were
downed by a splendid defensive
team from Tubize.
Whitehurst of Tubize was the
star at the plate for the visitors.
“Ole Stand-By Stanley” kept the
Sluggers in the game by getting
four for five at the plate, which
included two doubles and two
singles. Jimmy Bush stole six
bases for the locals.

SUCCESSFUL
PARENTHOOD
By CATHERINE C. EDWARDS
In our emphasis on the im-[
portance of parents showing
| their children that they love
[them, we have tended to slight
the fact that parents, too, need
to be reassured occasionally of
their children’s love. We do not
mean the kind of adulation some
parents expect whereby their
own languishing personalities
are constantly being propped up
by the lavish attentions the ex
act from their children.
No, we refer to good, kind,
adult parents who would like,
mightily now and then to hear
an expression of real affection
from their children. Parents can
accept a lot of thoughtlessness
from youngsters if it is mixed
with spontaneous “I yove you.”
It is the young person who be
cause of a sense of grievance
over differences of opinion with
his parents, rejects their devo
tion, who inflicts the deepest
wounds. Differences there are
bound to be, but unwavering
love on both sides can resolve
them. Most parents know this
and continue to express love
even while upholding their side
of the argument. But young
people often act as if flounting
their parents love were the only
way to prove themselves right.
It is sad that this should be a
characteristic of being young. ■
For often the mere act of show
ing a bit of affection of kind-1
ness will loose the horrible con
striction that anger or defiance
builds in us. Perhaps if we be
gan in childhood to help chil
dren resolve their disappoint
ments in showing affection, as
(well as in receiving it, we could
spare them some of this later
absorption in their own unhap
piness to the exclusion of any
idea of how their parents may
be feeling. Especially when a
child has been under a cloud of
misbehaving it is important to
let him work out of it by making
it easy for him to do us a lov
ing service.
The main reason for the seem
ing hearlessness of young peo
ple is, of course, their inability
to put themselves in their par
ents’ places. For it isn’t until
you become a parent yourself
that you really appreciate your
own mother and father. More
over, parents have pride and us
ually try to hide the hurts their
children bring them. I’ve often
thought that if a son or daugh
ter could hear the sorrow in a
father’s voice when he confides
to a friend, “Somehow I have
failed —my children don’t love
me”—or if they could read the
letters distracted mothers write,
they would realize how essential
it is to be loving in this process
of growing up into independent
adults.
DALE
CARNEGIE
WON’T KICK A DEAD DOG
In 1929 there was an event in
Chicago which attracted the
most brilliant educators in the
country. People came for thou
sands of miles for the occasion.
Not a football game; not a po
litical powwow. No, the occasion
was the inauguration of a young
man of 30 as president of the
fourth richest university in this
country: The University of Chi
cago; a university with an en
dowment of $70,000,000.
The young man who was to be
inaugurated as president had
worked his way through Yale as
a waiter. But now the great sat
at his feet; Robert Maynard
Hutchins.
I was not there, but I got a
glimpse of it from the late Dr.
Jefferson Davis Sandefer, for
merly president of Hardin-Sim
mons University, Abilene, Tex.
Dr. Sandefer sat on the plat
form next to the father of the
new president. Turning to him
he said, “I notice that one of the
newspapers made a bitter attack
on your son today.”
This was stating it mildly, for
young Dr. Hutchins had not only
been attacked by the newspapers
and by the educational bigwigs,
but had been bitterly denounced.
Dr. Hutchins’ father sat for a
moment, thinking, then said
quietly: “Yes, that’s true. But
remember, no one ever kicks a
dead dog.”
Remember that the next time
someone attacks you.
The moment you raise your
head even slightly above the
water level of mediocrity, you
will discover a lot of jealous, en
vious, critics on the banks of
the river ready to throw mud
balls at you. Some of the mud
balls will have rocks inside. This
has been true throughout the
ages; and it will be true until
human nature changes. La Ro
cheoucauld, the French philoso
pher, said many years ago: “If
you w’ant enemies, excel your
friends; but if you want friends,
let your friends excel you.” Why
is that true? Because when our
friends excel us, it gives them a
feeling of importance; when we
excel them, it gives them a feel
ing of inferiority. So if you ac
complish anything in the world,
expect to be attacked, denounced
and condemned. That was the
fate of Robert Maynard Hutch
ins, of Abraham Lincoln, of Soc
rates, and of all the good, capa
ble, and great men who ever
lived.

KILL RATS, BUGS, WORMS, FLIES,
MOSQUITOES
These pests and insects carry disease, and damage
fruit and vegetable crops. Watkins Retenone dust (75
per cent) kills most all garden insects, and the fly
spray with D. D. T. added gets the insects around the
house, barn and outbuildings. I have the safe way to
get rats which is non-poisonous to pets and other ani
mals in the Red Squill Rat Killer. I carry the best
quality in extracts, spices, toiletries, home remedies
and other items. Your patronage highly appreciated.
