The Rich, The Poor

mid to them at all;
their urgent call.
there demands respect;
white hands are jewel decked;
There's no one there immortal fair;
No diamond gems adorn their hair.
There's no one dressed in silk and lace,
With painted roses on her face.
No voices trained to please a guest;
No time to dance, no time to resi.
A poor and honest man lay ill.
His friends are gathered on the hill.
They stood about to see him die,
For lack of treatment gold could buy.
To them he said, "I soon must go;
For God has now decreed it so.
Farewell, my friends, I now see rest,
At home in heaven with the blest."
A king in mansion filled with wealth,
Was stricken down with broken health.
He'd drunk of wine, and lived too high,
On this world's goods that gold could buy.
All art of man could do no good;
Alone and facing death he stood.
No sight of rest allead in view;
And naught of help his friends could do.
They stood about to see him go;
For God had now decreed it so.
His gold could not his death atone;
For each must pass through death alone.

Many people feel that attencl~
ing a college or university is the
best -- or only -- choice for an
individual after high school
graduation.
This fall, some teens will be
heading for college just because
they and their parents have not
considered other alternative.
Some teens have particular abili-
ties and needs that would be
more adequately fulfilled by
other types of schools or through
on-the-job training.
Going to college because
someone else did or because an
individual feels college is his or
her only choice is not always
productive. In fact, it can be a
frustrating dead end. Individuals
do have other choices.
When teens don't know what
they want to become, work can
provide them with opportunities
to develop realistic ideas about
job expectation and their own
abilities.
Today, you may wish to en-
courage teenagers in your family
to seek employment so that they
can gain these insights.
Some youths go to college af-
ter a year or two of working.
Many who take this route feel
they have gained more from col-
lege because they waited.
Despite the emphasis on the
value of a college education,
many jobs are available that
don't require a college degree as
a qualifJcalion. However, more
and more, training for jobs is
being required, although it isn't
necessarily college training.
Many jobs require training that
can be received at a vocational
center or by participation in an
apprenliceship program.
Teens who are not interested
in college need to be encouraged
Io consider their work life atti-
tudes, their values, and their do-
cial and emotional maturity.
Their decisions are important
and worthy of parental support.
A person's career choice
doesn't have to last a lifethne.
Many people change jobs or ca-
reers often during their working
life. At every age, the college
doors remain open and other
training opportunities are readily
available.
Young adults who are not mo-
tivated to become professionals
shouldn't be urged to do so. but
they also must be reminded that
they need to explore and expand
their abilities and not sell short
their potential Io achieve.
Perhaps the teen in your fam-
ily would want to enroll in one or
two classes at our community
college while getting work experi-
ence?
TODAY's CHUCKLE: One of the
nicest things about growing old
is finding your children crossing
the generation gap to your side.
STOCKING HINTS --- I discovered great uses for
knee-high hose and pantyhose with runs. I cut the top
elastic band from the tops of knee-highs and the elastic
from the thigh and waist areas of pantyhose. I now have
three different sizes that can be used for several things.
They are great to tie up boxes or piles of magazines or
newspapers. They stretch beyond belief and leave no
marks or indentations. I cut them in strips to make
"rubber bands." Jill C., Zanesville, Ohio
ARTIST PAINT BRUSH -- My hobby is painting, and
cleaning the oil paint off my brushes was a problem. I
used to clean my brushes with odorless turpentine, but
got this tip from my art teacher.
Clean the brushes with bar soap. Put the soap and brush
under warm running water and rub the brush into the
soap from side to side, making sure the soap goes all the
way up the bristles. Gently rub the soap through the
bristles with your fingers until all the paint is removed.
Rinse with clear warm water, squeezing out the excess
soap ...........................
You'll be surprised how beautiful Ciean the brushes
get. One more tip: I even removed a spot of oil paint that
got on my blouse using the face soap. Turpentine can
discolor clothing, but the soap doesn't. It came out great
-- not a trace of paint left. Kelly P., Fremont, Calif.
OLD RECORDS -- I found out what to do with all
those old, scratched 78 rpm records I had. They make
great-looking pots for plants. I put a small clay pot upside
down on a foil-covered cookie sheet and placed the
record directly over it. I set the oven on 350 degrees, and
the record heated and melted down over the pot.
I let it cool and lifted the record away from the pot. It
turned out great, and even has a hole in the bottom for
drainage. Melanie D., San Antonio, Texas
BATHROOM CARPETING -- For several years we
had carpet in our bathroom. To ensure a perfect fit, we
made a brown paper pattern to fit the entire bathroom
floor and used it as a tracing and cutting pattern on the
back side of the carpeting.
The carpeting fit nicely since all the mistakes were
made on the pattern before the carpeting was cut. Just
remember to reverse the pattern when laying it on the
back side of the carpeting. Pare B., Wallingford, ConrL
