This week's discussion will be on measures to be taken after it has happened. This office has a special interest in the subject because a high percentage of teens who get into serious trouble with the law are dropouts. For the paren• who has himself gone through college, the th-“ght of a high school dropout is incompre- hensible. Even to the parent who was a dropout in his own time it is hard to understand, because he, more than any- one, knows what a long-range mistake is being made. What goes through the teen's mind when he becomes a dropout? Is he concerned with what it will mean to him later, how much it will cost him in unearned income, the effects it will h... on his future family? Obviously he thinks only of himself, and what else could be expected of him, at this stage in emotional development he is taking a seemingly final, easy way out of what appears to him as a lot of senseless hard work. Quick, immediate counter- measures are needed. Some found to be helpful are: Arrange with a young Rex to show terror film Paramount Pictures' explo sive dramatic \Black Sunday.\ will open Saturday and Sunday at the Rex Theatre. Starring Robert Shaw, Bruce Dern and Marthe Keller, \Black Sunday\ is the powerful and breathtaking tale of a Black September terrorist group attempting to blow up a Goodyear blimp hovering over the Super Bowl stadium with 80,000 people and the president of the United States in attendance. The screenplay by Ernest Lehman, Kenneth Ross and Ivan Moffat is based on the best selling novel by Thomas Harris. The novel was inspir- ed by actual terrorist news reports. The suspense and terror are real. The gargantuan staging of the action climax was one of filmdom's greatest engineering feats. It involved filming at the tenth annual Super Bowl game actually using the Goodyear blimp as the authentic \monster\ in this modern horror story. In the incredible finale, Dern and Keller navigate the majestic, lethal airship into the terror stricken stadium. They are pursued in a helicopter by sharpshooting agent Shaw, climaxing one of the most unusual chases in movie history. e salvage timber TROUT CREEK -Dave and Edna Hill were the successful bidders on the Control Creek Salvage sale totaling 241,000 board feet of timber located on the Cabinet Ranger Din trict of the Kootenai National Forest. Dave Morton, district ranger, said the Control Creek Salvage sale located 15 air miles southeast of Trout Creek was appraised at $14,279.63, and was bid to $15,048.68. There were two Bidders on the sale. college student -- one who is having to work to help put himself through school to talk to your dropout about why he is putting forth all the effort it obviously takes. --Determine what your youngster likes to do best, and try to tie it in with a career later. Example: he likes building model airplanes, and this might lead to becoming an aeronautical engineer, but certainly not with less than a college education. Show him how, without proper formal educa- tion, he cannot do the things he most enjoys and will have to forego them in favor of work he won't like to do, just to make enough income to survive. l'oint out the alterna- tive occupations, using those you know would be most repulsive to him. If he is involved with a girl he cares for, discuss the possibilities of later marriage, how due to his lack of education, she will always have to work to help support their family. And, that she will most likely have more education than he and probab ly as result, earn more money than her husband all their liveS. Make him cringe at the thought, work on his ego. •-If there is a family church bond, arrange for him to have a talk swab your minister. Even a minister unfamiliar with the family or this situation would be more than willing to help in counsel. Prearrange a talk with an employment counselor, pre ferably one connected with a private employment agency. Pay for the time taken, if necessary, for having the differences in job availabili ties explained by a profession al will carry considerable weight with your teen. Usually the dropout needs a drastic awakening to the path he has chosen, and it is unlikely the parent. at this stage, can get him out of his rut without outside help. Don't be embarrassed to ask, as any adult knows the severity of your plight, once apprised, and moat are anx ious to help a youngster. Change things drastically away from the former routines, developing an at- mosphere of serious intent in the home. Keep up a constant barrage of words of encour agement about returning to school, showing you fully expect him to do it. Re kind, gentle and firm! If the dropout has a part time job, do not allow it to be turned into full time employ- ment. If he drives the family car, reduce the occasions of this privilege; walking gives more time to think. If he has his own car, which you bought for him, insist that it be stored in the garage unused until the school return matter is settled. Parents attempting to get a teen back in school will live in an unpleasant home atmos- phere, with temper flare ups, arguments and often outright rebellion. Hold your ground and take comfort in knowing that once you've accomplished your goal, the teen will soon see that your insistence was justified. This department believes in the benefits only a good education can provide, and we'll help in any way possible to get a teen back in school. Education to most people is the basic foundation for satisfying lifestyle and what else could contribute more to achieving personal goals? Next: Vandalism , tri e; Ledger Lines by K. A. E. Bankruptcy: when a person over - dues it. Only two directors over a 30 -year period. That's the record that the folks in the Noxon-Heron area can point to on the board of directors for Northern Lights, Inc. After serving on the board for 10 years, Paul McKee, Noxon's grand old man, resigned due to the press of business created for him and his brother, Bob, at their general store during construction of the Noxon Rapids Hydroelectric Project. Jesse W. Lee was named to succeed McKee in February 1957. Lee was re- elected to successive terms, but was forced to resign last August by ill health. Now retired, McKee was ap- pointed to take over his old post. The county lost a hard working dedicated citizen with the death of Jesse Lee Saturday in Sandpoint. He was well liked and a conscientious public servant. Paul relates that the Northern Lights directors had planned to present a special award to Jesse at their September meeting honoring him for his 20 years of service to the utility. Unfortunately, he was too ill to attend the meeting and the presentation had to be postponed. • • • • A recent issue of the Big Sky Banker magazine carries this account of the \Seven Natural Laws of the Business Community\: 1.
