Young Democrats Endorse Smoot For State Chairman The Executive Committee of the Young Democratic Clubs of Utah announced Saturday en-dorsement of Stephen P. Smoot, candidate for the office of Demo-cratic State Chairman. Dwayne Stevenson, President of the Utah Young Democrats made the following statement: "Mr. Smoot has an outstanding record of party service and this endorsement by the Young Democrats of his candidacy in-dicates our interest in keeping the most competent and trust-worthy people in our own party offices." The resolution passed by the Executive Committee read: "The Executive Committee of the Young Democratic Clubs of Utah after deliberation wholehearted-ly endorse Stephen P. Smoot in his candidacy for the Democratic State Chairmanship. We have been appreciative of the out-standing efforts put forth by our present State Chairman D. Frank Wilkins, and we are grateful to Mr. Smoot for his candidacy in order that we, as interested party members, might be assured of continued effective leadership on a state level." Mr. Wilkins has previously announced that he would not be a candidate for re-election. Among other items of business at the Saturday meeting it was announced that a good-size- d dele-gation from Utah would attend the Leadership Convention of the Young Democratic Clubs of America which is to be held in Chicago on April 16 and 17. Why the Democrats are Strong (Continued from Page One) tion because the Republican Party is all mixed up. The Republicans are suffering from schizophrenia. Their national leadership is in a state of disarray. They are woried about their image. They don't know whether to stick with the tired platitudes of Ev and Charlie, or to go backwards with Goldwater, or to take a gamble on an untried, unknown quantity in the person of Romney. They are baffled by the fact that some of the most successful Republican office seekers are those who do the best job of "me too-ing- " the Democrats on issues and keeping quiet about their party affiliation. of top performance. (2) If he's interested in joining a community group, back him up to the hilt. (3) Develop backbone about saying "no" when you feel that some-thing he wants is really inappropriate. Weigh his re-quests fairly, for it may do more harm than not to isolate him from his group? (4) Keep channels of communica-tion open, so that he feels free to bring you his confidences, when he chooses, but don't pressure him. (5) Accept the growth and changes that come at various stages of his development. (6) Encourage enjoyable family do-ings that include all ages. A child who feels inadequate in his own group often takes heart from seeing that life is an orderly progres-sion: the little kids are where he once was; the big ones are where he's now heading; sooner or later they all grow up and so will he. Don't Rush Them Out of , Childhood "Kids should act like kids, not imitation grownups," writes Jean K. Komaiko in Parents' Magazine. Young people today are being pushed too early and too fast into patterns of behavior many sizes too big for them. Parents must take some responsibility for allowing their children to be pushed into these revved-u-p social patterns. "Jet propulsion out of childhood and into mock maturity is often as ridiculous as it is said," she says, citing as an example, a birthday party for 8 year olds with corsages, mock cocktails and paid entertainment. True, kids of 11, 12 and 13 have always had their problems, but today the social pressures imposed on kids from the outside seem to conspire to wring the sponta-neity out of their lives. Let children enjoy their youth. Don't spoil the natural rhythm of their development by expecting too much of them and for them. "When children are pushed too quickly out of late childhood, the period when boys and girls can best under study the roles they'll one day fill as men and women, they are cheated of the time of life during which they must test themselves as individuals, as members of their sex, as future citizens," the author contends. Overnight, instead, they must take up pretending to be adults be-cause the gang or their parents expect it. Instead of learning by growing and experiencing, they must play the part by ear, and it's small wonder the performance is often off key. Mrs. Komaiko quotes psychoanalyst Helen Ross, who says, "Forced growth is nearly always tragic. What children miss along the way, they try to get later, and usually can only snatch at. They need time to enjoy the appropriate. It should be fun to grow up, but it isn't (when a child misses out on large pieces of childhood." The pre-tee- n age and stage is painful for slow grow-ers. Boys, particularly, suffer during this time. Slower to develop, clumsier and shorter than the girls their age, they are ill equipped to handle ordinary social intricacies, let alone the curren tpressures imposed by adults. Even the pace setters, the boys who choose "steadies" and the girls who willingly go along, can be miserable, too. What can parents do? Dr. Irene Josselyn, an out-standing child psychiatrist, says, "If parents enriched children's lives, gave them worth while values and stand-ards, I doubt that we'd have so much worrying to do about the pseudo-sophisticati- on on the outside." The article makes the practical suggestions for giv-ing a child leeway to grow a this own pace and assuring him the full childhood to which he is entitled: (1) Encourage your child to develop skills and hobbies because they are enjoyable, not with expectations , ; M PROOF DAMT DISTILLERY CO..
