This probably is more true for parents than for the youngsters. Some typical reactions of pre-teen children: —The mother of John, 11, suggested that they go to the movies together on Saturday. She was upset when he said he planned to go swimming with friends. —Fred, 12, told his father he wanted to go hiking with his Boy Scout troop instead of on a fishing trip with the family. His father was surprised since they always had so much fun on these trips. —Ten-year-old Ann's room was messy and she didn't seem to care about her looks. She preferred waring dungarees to dresses. Her parents were distressed that she was becoming a tomboy. Difficult To Accept These actions and attitudes are difficult for parents to accept. But the children want to be with their peers. They seem to rebel against the family. They appear to intentionally reject authority just to prove it can be done. Up to this point the child almost completely has been dependent. He has enjoyed spending time with his parents. He has shown one minor sign of independence. Now the change seems to be quite dramatic. The natural reaction of many parents is to block this development. They will either exert more authority or perhaps extend themselves to show their love and affection. The child reacts by becoming more intent on proving his independence. He becomes stubborn. Parents should realize that this is part of growing up. They too went through this stage of development, and should accept the child for what he is. This doesn't mean to drop all standards. It does mean to administer authority with understanding. Allow Experiments Allow the child to experiment. He can learn a great deal by trial and error. His curiosity, restlessness, loud behaviours, and daring should be guided into safe and satisfying activities. He wants to join clubs and organizations. He may even organize a two-man club. He is seeking status and recognition. The pre-teen years surely are trying times for parents. The best approach is to recognize that most of his behavior is normal.

A special interview over Radio Station KRAS was taped during a two hour program.

(Gazette Photo by Doug Huff) Senior Drum-Bugle Corps is Growing Founded less than a year ago, the Californians Senior Drum and Bugle Corps, which practices in Anaheim every Friday night, now have 30 members, according to Palinsky, one of the organizers. The three primary founders Al Leod, Hugh Whelpton, and Pally came from eastern cities that had belonged to junior drum and bugle corps. After relocating to Southern California, each seperately recruited for an adult drum and bugle corps. Unable to find one boy pooled their knowledge and acted the "Californians". They excelled ads in the papers, and used music stores searching for people to share their hobby. Maner Al McLeod states that the corps hopes to eventually have 24 players, nine drummers, and a colguard of from nine to 15 men. Because this is only a hobby, the problem of funds is a large issue. The members donated money to purchase equipment and through this means plus various raising projects such as holding dances, and painting street addresses on curbs the corps raised about $1,000. Three members then took personal loans to supplement the $1,700 needed to equip the corps. The Californians entered their first parade at the Lion's Corn festival in La Habra. They took first place in Senior Drum and Bugle Corps and second place in overall drum corps. Five of the men are now helping organize and establish junior drum and bugle corps in Orange County. Two of the corps are the Grenadiers of Garden Grove and the Anaheim Boy Scouts Troop No 72 Junior Drum and Bugle Corps. Both the Anaheim Scouts and the Californians practice very Friday night at the Melbourne A. Gauer School located at 810 N. Gilbert, Anaheim, Calif., starting at 6:30 p.m. Those interested should see Al McLeod 6501 Constance Circle, Buena Park, or Don Palinsky, 675 N. Elmwood, Orange.

Prior canoe training contributed to the no-incident trip which is part of the Boy Scouts wide and varied program. The group felt that canoeing on th Sawyer Rivr was one of their toughest experiences of the whole trip. Rhyme And Reason By LOUISE METEER Where are the toys of Yesterday? The Christmas toys, the birthday toys Where are the toys of Yesterday? So showered on little girls and boys? The talking doll has lost her clothes. The wagon's rusty, goodness knows! The tricycle has lost a wheel. The doll house, battered .... no appeal. No matter! In a few short weeks Dig in your pocket, Daddy Dear, For Christmas time will soon be here; Work harder, Daddy, and make haste. To finance all this wanton waste. I've been wanting to write this ever since, just three weeks after last Christmas, I counted four new tricycles, one doll buggy and a talking doll left out overnight as I drove out of the neighborhood where I live. It was the doll that really shook me. She was one of those beautiful, life-size make-believe creatures I'd priced earlier for my granddaughter and decided I couldn't afford her. She was lying, face down, on someone's lawn, as naked as the day she left the assembly line, her long hair matted and her body garched. At first I thought she It was the doll that really shook me. She was one of those beautiful, life-size make-believe creatures I'd priced earlier for my granddaughter and decided I couldn't afford her. She was lying, face down, on someone's lawn, as naked as the day she left the assembly line, her long hair matted and her body scratched. At first I thought she was a child. Time has passed since then, and the forlorn toys along my street have increased in number. I drive around them in the street, see them smashed by the curb, and pick them off my own front driveway. Last night, as I turned to the necessity for watering a thirsty lawn a glimmer of tarnished silver shown among the flowers. The faucet has dripped in that certain spot, leaving an area of nice "googey" mud. Half buried in it was a little silver cup, put there by a neighbor's child. It bore the name of one of America's foremost silver companies. I picked it up, thoughts racing back in earlier days when to own such a cup for one's baby was a privilege, and wondered which grandparent, or godmother or loving friend had bought this one for a beloved infant. The little cup responded to my sponge and silver polish, emerging softly burnished silver on the outside and pale gold within. Doesn't it make you wonder, a little, what has happened to the reverence we once had for beautiful, expensive things? Why is that same feeling not being passed on to children today? The answer is obvious: we have too much of everything. Yet everywhere you go are worried people, trying to make ends meet, fretful over budgets, anxious "to get somewhere". The little silver cup, and the doll lying face down on wet grass are symbols of our times. And they most woefully remind us of that old adage. "He who wastes shall surely come to want."
