A mother is, like a
rose....plenty of sweetness but
with a few thorns here and there.
And there are times-like in a
rose garden-when mothers lose
their "fragrance" and give off
only sharp barbs,
We've just gone through one of
those days at our house„.,one of
those horrible days (or was it
weeks) when mother conies out
feeling like a dishrag and the kids
are left on the sidelines, bent but
hardly broken,
I'm not going to bore you with
the details of our problems, It is
enough for you to know that some
of our troubles were small, some
were large, some were easily
solved, others were • more
difficult to resolve.
All I want to do, is to talk to
mothers (and fathers) who are
having similar difficulties,...and
want reassurance that they are
not alone with their headaches.
If there is anything I've learned
about motherhood since becoming
a mother, it has to be that children
will test your endurance to the
outer limits of your mind. That's
true. And the only defence you
have against your children is a
determination to withstand their
barrage until they are at the age of
reason,
In the last few weeks I've talked
with parents who believe it is
their duty to spy on their children.
That may sound unethical but
when you have kids who spend
every waking moment trying to
devise ways and means by which
to confound their parents, it
becomes the only sensible thing to
do.
I've had parents tell me that the
only safeguard they have is to run
a check-in service with the
mothers and fathers of their
children's associates. If daughter

says she's going to Mary's house
for a sleep-out, mother picks up
the telephone and checks with
Mary's mom. If son says he's off
to the city fora gala night out with
the family car, father checks to
make certainthat the name of the
band and the location of the hop
correspond with the information
hi the newspaper. He may even go
so far as to run a check on the
speedometer before and after the
Outing or conveniently arrange a
few checkpoints enroute with a
few clued-in friends who will keep
youposted of the trip's progress,
Sneaky. Parents have to be just
as sneaky as kids. There's no
other way.
And when things go wrong?
What do you do? Do you listen to
the experts who claim you risk
hostility in your children if you
punish them by such an obvious
means as a sound spanking or the
loss of privileges? Do you really
take to heart the philosophy of so
many people these days who insist
that parents must keep the
communication lines open, even if
the communication you're getting
from your kids is something less
than an honest appraisal of the
situation?
I admit that mutual trust is
great...,but it has been my
experience that mutual trust for
many kids means having mom and
dad believing just what the
younger set would have them
believe.
And you may think that I'm
talking only about teenagers. Not
so. Little children are becoming
more and more adept at the art of
parent trickery. In fact, many of
them are able to twist mom and
dad into knots of discord at a very
early age. It seems to be inborn in
modern children.
No, parents. You are not alone
in your misery. Raising children
was always a hassle, but the
trouble now is that parents are
having such a rough time with the
everyday business of home
building and moneymaking, that
they have few hours left in which
to build a strong fortress against
the wiles of a better informed,
healthier, more affluent high-risk
and eager generation, their
children.
I urge you to remain strong. I
have a feeling that if we prevail
throughout the next few years
we'll reap dividends in the future
of our children.
And what's more, I'll wager the
very children who fight you today
will rise up and call you
blessed....sometime,
somewhere,

Mrs. Howard Scane presided
and opened with a poem. Passages
of Scripture taken from St. Luke's
Gospel and from Ephesians were
read by Mrs. Scane. She likened
the narrowness of our lives to that
of the Pharisees whom Jesus
condemned for their smug,
narrow outlook on life and
cautioned us that our lives too are
being narrowed by selfishness
and lack of love. The study on
Uganda was given by Mrs. Audrey
Christie. She showed many
colourful pictures of the country
from the National Geographic
