Featured will be puppeteer Rod Butler from San Antonio who is shown with an aHHortment of his health for moms and children. Many stressful situations that occur in mom's and children's lives cannot be prevented, but the attitude with which mom's approach the situations can determine how their children will cope with life's challenges now and later. I think all moms have the ability to see a glass half full of water instead of half empty; to see children as fellow travellers instead of extra cargo on this journey we are priviledged to share through life. It does have a lot to do with attitude. Allan Rose Allan Rose of Tolar died in Tolar on Oct.

4. Bom in Arkansas on May 6, 1906, he was 78 at the time of his death. Rose married Fayne Fry on June 38, 1936 in Hillsboro. A resident of Tolar for 63 years, he was a member of the Tolar Church of Christ where he served as an elder for 30 years. He was retired from General Dynamics.

Survivors include his wife Fayne Rose of Tolar; a son and daughter-in-law, Kenneth and Joann Rose of San Angelo; two grandchildren, Carol Ann and Kari Lynn Rose of San Angelo; and a nephew, Billy Joel Underwood of Joshua. Martin's Funeral Home in Granbury directed the services which were held Friday in artin Chapel. Officiating ministers were Glenn Boyd, Williard Morrow and Glenn Newberry. Interment was in Tolar Cemetery. I recently saw a bumper sticker that read "It has a lot to do with attitude." The smiley face ac-companing the message brought a smile to my face and I began thinking about how important attitude is in a mom's life.

Whether a mom is in a good mood or a bad mood in the morning determines whether she smiles or frowns as she gets her children up. Whether she smiles or frowns has a lot to do with determining whether they are happy to start the day or are cross with the world. Whether they are happy or cross when they arrive at school determines how they react to others. The mood set for children in the morning can improve or worsen as the day wears on and can affect their success or failure in countless interactions and situations throughout the day. Since a mom's attitude is a determining factor in her children's attitude toward life, she may need to work on her's first.

For a mom to be an optimistic, happy attitude spreader, she must be diligent in looking on the bright side of situations. She must ask herself and her children, "What good things happened today?" She must believe that she can be a good mood motivator and not let other's gray moods, the weather, and stressful situations destroy her optimism. Children usually react positively and with a smile to the family member who has a bad attitude on a particular day can help keep one bad attitude from upsetting everyone's good mood and draw that member into a more positive frame of mind. Children should be encouraged to use this method when dealing with friends in a bad mood, too. Setting a good mood in the home for children is not always an easy task, and even the most dedicated mom gets "down" in attitude occasionally.

The incentive for trying to maintain a good attitude is improved mental Tolar sisters earn choir memberships Dewey Wilkerson Dewey Wilkerson, 86, of Granbury died Oct. 2 at Hood General Hospital in Granbury. He was born April 17, 1898 in Comal County and married Myrtle Pierce on Nov. 23, 1929 in Littlefield. A former resident of Fort Worth, Mr.
