A reading was given 'by Marjor- ie Bmay. 'Stan Bray led in the singing of the last 'hymn 484. A short business part followed 'with the reading 'of 'the minutes given and adopted. Then follow- ed the subject, "To spank or not to Spank". A number of slides were shown illustrating problem situations found in average homes. The discussion was led by Evan :Hoffman with all'mem- hers of the club contributing various ideas and answers to the various problems. Parents seem- ed to be in agreement that some- times things at home got "out'of hand", What worked for one sometimes did not 'work for an- other. Many parents discussed 'their own situations hoping to find someone 'who might have an answer that worked. During the course of the evening it was found that fly swatters have an- other use other than killing flies. Humor was well mixed in this discussion. Good 'discipline can be attained through four ways and 'these were all discussed: 1. Love, 2. Guidance, 3. Firmness with affection, 4. -Actions and at- titudes. 'The 'parents realized that it is a big problem that needs careful attention all the time. For 'those who could not be out and others who are inter- ested here is a brief sumniary of the four points. Love: Give the child praise, a pat on the ;beck and encourage- ment. Give aim your time and interest. Give bim advice and assistance 'when be needs it. Guidance: A child nee'ds'guid- ance in many 'things. He will re- spond if there is co-operation on both sides. As he gets older he will listen to reason. Firmness with affection: Par- ents must be firm yet kind: It goes farther than anger and scolding. Be firm about reason- able demands. A child must learn tidiness as well as other responsibilities. Actions and Attitudes: Your child learns much by watching and 'hearing. Parents' 'halbite are guid dy imitated. 'Good habits and attitudes are learned by ex- ample. 'Help him develop a sense of time, a sense of eo-operation, a good routine. Don't weaken your authority by bribes or threats. The 'discussion closed on a happy and interesting note. Most parents decided that a time for change had come. B oan now on they are ;going to ap'an'k--or I anean, follow the four rules an:en- tioned alcove. Lunch was served to a large turnout by Mr. and Mrs. Stan Bray ,and Mr, and Mrs. Evan Hoffman. Taps dosed the entire evening.
