ABOUT THESE SERIES ....But after that, I realised that I knew very little about these parents of mine. They had been born about the start of the Twentieth Century, and they died in 1970 and 1980. For their last 50 years, I was old enough to speak with a bit of sense.I could have talked to them a lot about their lives. I could have found out about the times they lived in. But I did not. I know almost nothing about them really. Their courtship? Working in the pits? The Lock-out in the Depression? Losing their second child? Being dusted as a miner? The shootings at Rothbury? My uncles killed in the War? Love on the dole? There were hundreds, thousands of questions that I would now like to ask them. But, alas, I can't. It's too late.Thus, prompted by my guilt, I resolved to write these books. They describe happenings that affected people, real people. The whole series is, to coin a modern phrase, designed to push your buttons, to make you remember and wonder at things forgotten. The books might just let nostalgia see the light of day, so that oldies and youngies will talk about the past and re-discover a heritage otherwise forgotten. Hopefully, they will spark discussions between generations, and foster the asking and answering of questions that should not remain unanswered.In 1958, the Christian brothers bought a pub and raffled it; some clergy thought that Christ would not be pleased. Circuses were losing animals at a great rate. Officials were in hot water because the Queen Mother wasn't given a sun shade; it didn't worry the lined-up school children, they just fainted as normal. School milk was hot news, bread home deliveries were under fire. The RSPCA was killing dogs in a gas chamber. A tribe pointed the bone at Albert Namatjira; he died soon after

And it first heart transplant. At the same time, the number of postal deliveries per day was reduced from two to one. There was still much opposition to conscription to the Vietnam War and demos, often violent, were everywhere all the time. One operation in Vietnam saw 20 Australian 20-year-old youths, silly, rascally, and lovable, killed in just a few days. The new Prime Minister, John Gorton, announced that there would be no increase in the number of troops in Vietnam. The casino in Tasmania was approved, so visiting there became a gamble. We won a small pot of gold at the Olympics, Lionel Rose became the first Aboriginal to become a World Boxing Champion, and poet Dorothea Mackellar died at the age of 82.

You could talk-back on radio, about a brand new ABS show called "This Day Tonight." There was no point in talking any more to the Privy Council of the Brits - Oz was the only appealing place left to go. Getting a job was easy with unemployment at 1.8 % - better that the 5% 50 years later. Arthur Calwell left at last. Whitlam took his place. Harold Holt drowned, and Menzies wrote his first book in retirement.

The Poms were firing rockets over our Aborigines, while Menzies was discovering Reds under our Beds. Our new Governor General was not a Pom, but a local lad, and Princess Elizabeth said yes to a Greek. Six boys, aged under 17, were gaoled for life for rape, and 10 o'clock closing might stop the six o'clock swill. Indonesia, India and Israel wanted colonial powers to go, and cricket was again thriving on hatred of the Poms. These were striking times. Ron Williams is a retired teacher, mathematician, computer-man, political scientist, farmer and writer. He has a B.A. from Sydney, and a Masters in Social Work and a PhD in Political Science from Hawaii.

Hitler was just about beaten, and the Japs were crumbling. Australia was breathing a lot easier, and so we were free to do what we liked. So strikes were very popular, criticising the government was now allowed, and we could think about what life would be when peace returned. But still our menfolk were being killed daily, we were still heavily rationed, Big Government was everywhere. Things were certainly going to get better - but no one knew when.

-It all started when I heard of a 12yr. old, still a Child, Struggling/Suffering with Depression issues, which started my wheels turning... I just had to reach out and Try to Help ... That is all I thought of... Prior to this, didn't think I could conjure up 10% of the Passion & Drive I still provide since starting writing this Guide's Reference Book ("Rise and Shine Anxiety & Depression & Life Management Tools -- The Final Cut") back in 2011 to initially Save my Son, after saving myself... -That night, I asked God if I could do this?... To Help a Youngin as such... the next day I awoke with the Clear Answer to this... Absolutely I Can , I already Knew what it would Take, considering this Reference Book which point to in this Guide, Seriously, Is Everything We Can Do For Ourselves as humans, NATURALLY, with Permanent results.... Considering the Huge Life Savings & Life Changing Impacts this has had on my Son & I, and on those witnessed with Book in Hand who Tried, I Know, there is The Answer & not a Better Source of Information as a Guide to Help the Youngins as well, with understood Adjustments... -So, for those Youngins Struggling/Suffering no Differences to speak of, other than, considering their age and mental maturity, there would likely be the Need to Guide them thru the Process vs. the Individual doing the Reading & Writing (Training) on their own... Guidance Adjustments are therefore provided in this Guide to account for this, while pointing to the Ref. Book's Positivity Tools/Skills Process of whittling down to the Root Cause of Issues which are One's Individual negative thoughts & sources of, which Self-Personalizes the approach for All -Aside from this 2nd part of the Guide as explained, the 1st part of the Guide is Stand-Alone, not requiring access to the Ref. Book, concentrating on Household Recommendations/Considerations in support of a Healthy Upbringing of the Young Ones, for their Mind, Body, & Spirit, to Prepare them in their "REAL" Life Journey when they do leave Mom & Dad's Home... Of course as Parents we all want the Youngins to Grow Up to be Successful & Independent, don't we (? ), which should be our Main Goal as Parents
