home and by 1990 an estimated 75 per cent will be away from their families of all careers i may have been able to choose from i feel that there isnt one anymore important than being a mother i was responsible for moulding my children and bringing them up to the best of my ability theyre all a credit to society and are functioning adults i wouldnt be able to blame anyone for failure i tried my

challenged so i became involved with va rious volunteer projects when my youngest daughter was starting in scouts i be came a brownie leader as the children approached the teen scene i felt it was extremely important to maintain the good communication we already had established so as they got older i became in volved with activities that re lated to their age groups mrs brill said her energy was diverted in many directions she was an initial participant in forming the catholic youth organiza tion a group that set up meet ing places at local church parishes where teens could gather teens
