It has been stated that this lack of religious training and spiritual leadership in the home is partly responsible for that segment of the "now" generation which appears to believe that "doing yourthing" whatever your "thing" , is the only way and the best way to go. Whatever the truth, this fact is certain - parents who fail to give their children the proper religious and moral guidance fail to meet their responsibility to the child, and to society. Religious training is so im- portant, and yet it is so neglec- ted by many parents. When a child gets in trouble, many parents ask the question; "Where did we go wrong?" Many times the answer to that question is the lack of religious training. POLAR DAIZE Snowmobile Parade SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24 at 1:00 P.M.
