"ONE MAN'S
MEAT"
By ./. Troy Hickman
1'HK I.ATK I'KKSON
A colli go professor who was
teaching .1 class at our dwell
on personality development, said
something thirty y. am ugo which
I still remember Mr said, "There
are persons who are sometimes
late Ami there aiv late persons."
Tlie person who is sometimes
late may he anyone, but he will
!*• late only now and then Hut
the late person will always he
late You can count on it. I dare
say that you know at least one,
Lite persons are often given
credit fur bring very husy per
.■tons This is not always true
Punctual pr'sons are more often
likely to lie husy persons. l«ate
persons, more often than not, are
just |* >r managers of their time
The late person not only loses
time for himself, hut also loses
lime for everyone else whose
lives arc touched by his life. If
you are involved with him, you
will just have to wait on him
1 < spite all apologies and all
i:.k*I resolutions to be on lime
from now on, lie can't. He Is
helpless to mend this fault be-
cause it goes too d<-ep into his
nature and too broadly into his
habits
Pick out a late person whom
you know, and study his ways
It may lie that in planning his
schedule, he never allows for the
time that i.s used in transit. For
instance if he is due it a group
meeting at 7 o'clock, lie will
leave his home at 7 Hy the time
lie gets in the meeting place, it
will be 7 15 or later. Next time,
the same thing
Tin late person is not a realis-
tic plami' i of his schedule Often
he also will be weak on planning
sequence* lie will fail to get the
events which are ahead of him
in their proper order, thereby
wasting time These two skills,
to line things up in the* most
economical order after each
other and to allow ample time
for transition from one event to
another, plus a little extra time
for delays, are skills which the
aie pi a-'on never learns Pe' haps
he doesn't want to, perhaps he
can't Hi will likely go through
if' li laving tlmi '. then making
"viiniv. each time to explain why
he was late
Most of mv working life has
been sjx fit in the church I have
known and worked with many
late persons Few have ever im-
proved When once you are well
acquainted with the persons in a
roup von l long to, you can
predict in advance very accurate-
ly which will Im' the first to
arrive, and which will be the
last
This is not a big thing, really
Not like minster, for instance.
Hut it is a part of the human
condition It is part of the way
things are No one can do much
about it It takes a toll
Very fi w late persons will
Ixither to probe Ix-neath the sur-
face of their late pattern of life
mil find tin real reason why
They prefer to go on and enjoy
the myth of their licing "very
busy' people, for that is more
flattering If they were just will-
ing to face the fact that some are
vainly trying lo do more than
they are capable of doing, and
that others with more modest
goals are simply ineffective plan
nets and users of thoii time (and
of other people's time), there
might lie hope
Hut of all the things that we
human beings most stalwartly
resist, is insight into what we
are really like inside This is
true of not only the late persons,
but all of us with our many
various and interesting quirks
and hang ups

Speaks To P-TA
On Rearing of
Children
Mrs. Linn Foust introduced
Dr. DeShong, counselor at St.
Edward's University, Austin,
Texas, to the P-TA., Wednes-
day, November 17, at the high
school cafetorium.
Dr. DeShong emphasized the
fact that we should not worry
about making a mistake in
rearing or teaching children,
but we should worry about
making the same mistake over
and over again. We must strive
for some kind of consistency
to prevent repeating a mistake.
The genuine love and respect
parents have for their children
lead them to do what they think
is best for their children. The
effect of what is done may be
opposite of the intent. However,
parents need to be responsible,
but children need to be re-
sponsible also and should not
be critical of their parents.
Parents are models—children
will model their behavior from
that of their parents. Verbaliza-
tion is not enough--parents
must practice what they
"preach." It is very likely that
children will do what their
parents do and not what they
say if the behavior and tlie
verbalization do not coincide.
Parents should include child-
ren in most of the plans
for their family. Children re-
sent being given only such tasks
as washing dishes, taking out
tlie garbage, etc., if they can-
not participate in the pleasur-
able projects and activities of
the family.
Communication between
children, parents, and teachers
is very important; however,
Dr. DeSiong reiterated that
communication conies not only
from verbalization but also
from behavior.
The minutes were read by
Mrs. Leland Fischer and ap-
proved. Mrs. Fischer also
stated that wearable clothes are
needed In the primary and
elementary schools.
O. D. DeShay gave the treas-
urer's report, and it was filed
for audit.
Mrs. Foust reported that Mrs.
Hubert IJnenberger, president;
Mrs. Ray Barron, second vice
president; and Mrs. Richard
Tate, secretary, were in Dallas
attending the State P-TA Con-
vention.
Room count winners were:
Primary school, 1A, Mrs.
Adeline Carroll; Elementary
School, 5F., Mrs. Darla Furgal;
Junior High, 8.1, Mrs. Mary
Talley; and Senior High School,
The Junior Class.

Piney Creek Philosopher Wants
To See The President Establish
New Post - Secretary of Keeall
Editor's note: The Piney
Creek Philosopher on his John-
son grass farm on Piney lias
become aware of how in.uiy
items are being recalled these
days, his lecter this week in-
dicates.
Dear editar:
When I read in a newspaper
last night that 87 tons of corn-
bread mix had been recalled
by the Food and Drug Admin-
istration because it contained
too much of something called
aflatoxin, I began turning over
in my mi ml the things I can
think of that have been recalled
in recent months.
These included soup, tuna,
detergents, swordflsh. cereals,
lipstick, toy s, airplanes, auto-
mobiles and a few diplomats.
There may have been others
that escaped me but this gives
you an idea of how the recall
business is booming.
If it keeps up the President
may have to establish a new
cabinet position to be known
as Secretary of Recall.
Several columnists have
suggested that it would be
simpler to check foods before
they leave the plant, rather
than waiting till they get on
the grocery store shelves, but
this takes all the drama out
of It. There's no news value-
In cornbread suppressed, but
conibread recalled, that's a
head liner.
If the I'resident does establish
a Secretary of Recall I can
foresee many opportunities for
tlie office other than those in-
volving foods, cars, and such
like.
For example, there are some
votes I cast mi «. retain people
over tlie pust few year-. I'd sure
tike to recall. U the time they
seemed like good, sound votes,
pussiitg .my standards set by
the Food and Drug Adminis-
tration, but after the candidates
got into office or on the grocery
shelf as you might say, 1 could
tell right off the.', contained
botulism if not worse.
You can say sure, but you
can recall them at the next
election.
rhat's right, but that's a
mighty long time to have to put
up with i ontarei" ed cornbread
or politicians.
\oui s faithfully,
J. A.
