PAGE EIGHT THE NEWBERRY SUN CLEAN CORN . . . To give corn fed chickens exercise, some farmers feed corn on the ear, spiking it as shown above to keep ft from becoming soiled. WHAT NEXT? . . . Sugar Ray Robinson seems to wonder about his future after being in formed that the National Box ing Assn, had vacated his mid dleweight crown. Here N' There Veteran manager Bobby Glea son thinks another boxing mana ger, Cus D’Amato, is lining up nothing but “incompetents” to fight for the top heavyweight spot. Gleason has charged that Champion Floyd Patterson is being matched against inferior opponents to ensure that he keep his crown . . . Bill Woodhouse of Abilene Christian College in Texas equalled the world record for the 100-yard with a 9.3 second per formance in a four-college track meet. In a girl’s softball game at Vancouver, Cedar Cottage took a 1-0 lead over Fraserview in the first inning. It must have made Fraserview unhappy—the team scored 23 runs; 13 more in the second inning and 14 in the third. The game was called off with Fraserview leading 50-1 . . . George Detore has been named a coach with the Pittsburgh Pirates, replacing Jimmy Dykes, who went to the Detroit Tigers as manaeer. uUldmam French and British firms once guaranteed King Prajadhipok of Siam the sum of $40,000 a year for the rest of his life if he ever lost his throne. One insurance company guaran teed some businessmen in London prior to World War II that they would receive their annual income every year they were in the army —if drafted.

Construction B. River Bridge After 21 years of hard and con tinued work on the part of New berry legislators, especially A. Au brey Harley, the State Highway Department has approved con struction of a bridge over Broad River to be located at or near peak This announcement was made by Senator Harley Monday. Engineers will begin looking im mediately for the best location for the bridge and it is expected to construction will begin in the not too distant future. The bridge will connect Newberry and Fairfield Counties at Peak. The only cross ing now in existence is the rail road trestle. “I feel that this is one of the most important things that has ever happened in Newberry,” Se nator Harley said. “It is as good as a new industry, because there will be a new industry, the Parr Atomic power plant, located just across the river. At present it is doing Newberry County no good, because we can’t get across there.” The Senator stated that the money for bridge construction would come from state and feder al funds and would in no way cut funds presently alloted for road construction in Newberry County Hospital Patients Mrs. Ida Baker, 619 Mainstreet Mrs. Lois Beuenbaugh, Blalock Drive, Joanna Mr. J.

Smith Treat Your Teenager As An Individual "WHY D0NV YOU BE LIKE THAT?' “Why don’t you be Like that?” j How often do parents make this foolish remark to their teenage children as they point to some other teenager who has done some thing to merit a bit of public at tention? This is the type of remark that goes much better unsaid. The average teen ager has little ambition to be “like” anyone in his own age group. He may have an idol, or someone that he de- i .sites to emulate, but it is always some- l ohp,older than himself. ’Ahd^ tbip, being “like” somebody is not kn easy task. The teenager is an individualr-much more an in dividual in many instances than grownups who fall right in line —and, further, the teenager wants to feel that he is an individual per sonality.1^ Some teenagers have talent aplenty and know how to make the most of it. Others have talent that must be de veloped and, rather than criticism, they need help and understanding from their parents if this development is to be rich and full. When some parents say, “Why don’t you be like that?”—they ac tually mean, “Why don't you par ticipate in the same type of things. I believe you could do well, too.” But, to the teenager, the inter pretation is different. To him, the question is a rebuke or an indica tion that he is a “failure” so early in his young lift,;: . ; It is not in the nature of some teenagers to just “wade through” from one accomplishment to an other. Yet all of them like to be a part of some activity and to share in any success. Suggestions and guidance will help them. Criticism and comparison with others only makes them feel resentful. And, are we grownups much too dif ferent? If yoa have a teenage problem yea want to disease, .or an abserTatien to make, address year letter to FOB AND ABOUT TEENAGERS, NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER SERVICE. FRANKFORT. KY.
