Council Program.
The Woman's Committee Council
of National Defense as part of its
work for children's year is urging
upon parents the necessity of play
| for the children and urges that a
faint shadow of war as possible be
allowed to fall upon the children.
In Paris there is a story-teller, who
goes about spinning his wonderful
yarns in cellars to which women and
children have fled during the air
raids. The children crowd about him
forgetful of the terror outside. The
world of Imagination into which he
leads them. takes them completely
away from the fearfulness about
them.
| This is time when we, too, must
build up beautiful world about our
children. Interest must at this time
be stimulated in Fairgrounds, in va
cation schools, in sports, athletics.
and drama, in community singing
and folk dancing-in all wholesome,
decent play.
