Try to focus on the underlying
issues of how your teenager is
developing as a person. Is he or
she growing in reliability, hon-
esty, self-confidence and respect
for others?
When a radical change in ap-
pearance is accompanied by ex-
tremely negative behavior
changes — such as school prob-
lems, withdrawing, drugs or
drinking — parents have to deal
with the total adolescent, not just
appearance.
But for most teenagers,
“wierd” hair or clothes simply
express a desire to be their own
person. By responding with love
and warmth, regardless, of your
opinion of current Styles, you can
build a stronger parent-teen re-
lationship.

Teens strive
to establish
own identity
By EVELYN YEATTS
County Extension Agent
Some of those same people who
fought with their parents about
wearing long hair and short
skirts in the ’60s now are arguing
with their own children about
spiked hair and acid-washed
jeans.
The way teenagers dress and
wear their hair has been a source
of conflict for generations — and
with good reason.
Establishing independence is a
normal part of development in
adolescence. During the teen
years, youngsters start to see
themselves as separate from
their parents and families, and
want to form bonds with new
groups. Changing appearances
and adopting the styles valued by
their friends is one way for
teenagers to express this change.
During this period, parents
should question whether a
teenager’s choice of clothing and
hair style is worth a family fight.
Although it’s easy to focus on vis-
ible things, other issues are far
more important than a strange
haircut.
tising for the separators, the special-
oil used to maintain the machines
and, rarest of all, the owners man-
uals.
His network of half a dozen junk
dealers are always on the lookout
for a Montgomery Ward, John
Deere, Rock Island or Sears Farm
Master. Still, Gordon said $130 is the
most he has paid for even the rarest
find.
“Usually the antique shops hide
these things in the back because
there is no demand, ” Gordon said.
However, some people still seek
out the dependable old machines for
farm use, he said.
“I ran into a lady in Canton once
who was asking about a separator I
was interested in buying,” Gordon
said. “She had goats and wanted to

Fifty-one 4-H youth attended
Cooke County’s 4-H Camp July
18-20 at the Group Camp at Lake
Texoma.
Activities during the three-day
camp revolved around the
camp’s overall theme of Sports
and Fitness. 4-H campers par-
ticipated in three different work-
shops — archery, fishing, and
fitness testing—related to sports
and fitness.
In addition, campers competed
in groups named for Texas sport
teams: the Cowboys, Mavericks,
Rangers and Sidekicks. Com-
petitive sporting activities
ranged from volleyball and soft-
ball tournaments to relay games
to a watermelon seed spitting
contest. Evening contests fea-
tured a 1950’s costume parade on
Monday evening and on Tuesday
evening a crazy sock contest.
Overall, first place honors went
to the Rangers.
In the camp’s craft workshop
each 4-H’er decorated a T-shirt
with their choice of fabric paints,
buttons, and ribbons. Designs
ranged from free hand squiggles
to stenciled patterns of animals.
4-H’ers took leadersip roles
throughout camp time. Group
leaders included Wayne Becker
and James Krebs of the
Cowboys; Eddie Krebs and Sean
Herbold of the Mavericks; Laura
Lutkenhaus and Werner Becker
of the Sidekicks; and John Krebs
and Jarad Bayer of the Rangers.
Additional 4-H’ers who led group
activities were Holly Howell,
George Lutkenhaus and Shiann
Howell.
Seven adult leaders and three
county Extension agents accom-
panied the 4-H’ers to camp. Adult
leaders were Kathy Lutkenhaus,
Barbara and Clinton Bayer, Bar-
bara Bryant, Doug Robison, Jim
Flusche and Joanne Bouldin.
County Extension agents on hand
were Evelyn Yeatts, Craig Rose-
nbaum, and Carol Roberts.

considered strange behavior.
“I suppose my goal would be to
have one of every model ever
made,” Gordon said. “My problem
is finding room.”
Hand-cranked cream separators
became common to American
farms about the turn of the century,
providing a sanitary way to sep-
arate cream from raw milk. The
typical design was a cast iron frame
and many interlocking gears,
topped with a gleaming tin-plated
bowl to hold the fresh milk.
A farmer either sold the cream
produced by the separator to a
nearby dairy or saved it for the fam-
ily table, Gordon said.
“For years, the only thing cre-
ameries would buy (from small
farmers) was cream,” Gordon said.
“It was easier to transport cream
without spoilage than raw milk. ”
Homogenization ended the use-
fulness of individually-owned sep-
arators by the mid-1950s.
Companies like DeLaval and Sharp-
les that once specialized in the devi-
ces have moved on to other
products.

lives near Palestine. He grew up on
