HOOVER BACKED
. BY ALLIED DRY
FORCES

President Hoover was assured
of a large slice of the organized
dry vote of the country today as
DR.. Daniel A. Polling, chairman
Of the allied dry forces, an
nounced his organization had de-
cided to back the President.
Polling said his announcement
was made after a poll in which
1877 out of 205 voted to support
Hoover's stand on the prohibition
question.
Leaders Split
The decision of the allied dry
forces to support President
Hoover follows a similar stand
of the national prohibition board
of strategy. announced by It's
secretary, the Rev, Edwin c. Din
widdie.
Leaders of the Anti-Saloon
League are split on the question,
with Superintendent F.. Scott Nc.
Bride opposing the Presidents S
stand and Secretary S. E. Nlch.
olson joining with Polling and
Dinwiddie.
In making his announcement,
DR.. Polling said:
Following the acceptance
speech of President Hoover, the
executive committee of the
allied forces voted to support
Mr.. HoOver'S candidacy. This
actiO was taken without preju-
dice to the fundamental posi-
ton of the allied forces with
regard to the Eighteenth
Amendment and its supporting
legislation.
THE allied forces are against
repeal.
"The allied forces are against
any weakening of enforcement
laws.
REJECT G. o. P. PLANK
THE allied forces do not in
dOrse any proposal for mOdifi-
cation. Specifically, we reaf-
firm our former statement: AS
to the Republican plank, We
reject the reSubmiSSiOn program.
Should any amendment to the
Constitution be considered, we
are opposed to the State con-
ventiOn plan of ratification as
untried and without safeguard
against Misrepresentation and
corruption. Also, we oppose any
interference with the initiative
and the responsibility of Con
gresS in the matter of amend
ments to the Constitution"
Our Endorsement of Presi-
dent Hoover is based upon the
belief that, in contrast with
Governor Roosevelt, his. election
will safeguard the gains made
under prohibition, will move to-
ward the elimination of exist
ing evils resulting from nOn-
observance and nOnenfOrcement
in some communities, will pre-
vent naked repeal and the re-
turn of the saloon system, will
not commit any public officer
or candidate to any policy Of
repeal or modification against
his own conscience or the senti-
ment of his constituents, and
will confirm. the principle of
Federal control for a national
problem"

BABY'S WORLD, WHAT PARENTS MAKE II

that he should wait until he is older and will be able to under. stand the subject. It may be that the adult is himself at q loss for the answer. Or the question may claim time and effort which the parent is unwilling to give. Or the child may have touched point on which the adult is sensitive and evasive.
 When a child Is mature enough to frame a question, he is usually mature enough to be answered. The information given need not be In detail, but 1t should be satisfying and increase the child's under standing. Evasions and false re- plies may do definite harm; they leave the child baffled; they arouse fear and uncertainty; and invar- iably they stimulate curiosity and focus more attention than ever on the problem from which the chi1d's thought is supposedly diverted.
 Understanding helps to banish fear. The child who begins life with understanding and is helped to increase 1t as he develops, will have the best possible equipment to meet difficult situations through out life. Parents should realize that thoughtless misrepresenta- tions may create distrust.
 Parents should not attempt to hide from the child, for example, that the doctor may sometimes have to hurt him somewhat, but they should emphasize that the doctor Is a friend. They should ex- plain that the policeman protects people, especially children. Under no circumstances, should the par- ents threaten to have the police man take the child to jail. They should encourage the child not to fear animals. Since the child should sleep alone in a dark room from earliest infancy, he will not fear the dark. He will not fear the "bogey man" if the parents have never used this as e threat. Storms will be interesting events since the child will know how they come about. Changes in the child's own body will not cause alarm, for the parent will have anticipated and explained them.
 The young child should be taught to dress and undress him. self and manage his own food at the table. He should be respon. sible for meeting the obligations

piness. Social contacts bother him. He Is shut out of many experl- ences which he wishes to enjoy, simply because he lacks the confi- dence to approach them. He is al- ways inhibited. The confident per- son, on the other hand, because he has greater freedom of action, is usually happy.
 But neither self-assurance nor timidity merely happen. They rep. resent habits of response that date from childhood. Parents have much to do with their origin. They should keep before themselves the thought that their child is an indi- vidual, as we'll as Q son or daugh- ter. Treating him as an individual means that he be allowed to make his own experiments. The parent should exercise great self-restraint. The small family frequently pro- duces parents who are strict super visers. Their determination to par ticipate in every activity of their children represses the child's ini- ative and self-dependence. Let your boy or girl make his own trials, within reason. Let him have his slight mishaps. Tn this way he will learn self-conhdence.
 Fear is a mental hazard and is subjected to abuse. Only real dan- ger should excite fear. One sign of sound mental health is the ability to distinguish between real and false danger and to respond only to the right emergency. Fear par alyzes as well as stimulates, and habitual fear will undermine re- sistance.
 Parents must not use extrava- gant threats for they thereby at- tack the child's imagination at the most impressionabl period of life. and may do permanent injury to his nervous system.
 There should be understanding and mutual respect between a child and his parents. When the child understands each step he takes, he will be prepared for what life brings him. A child Is often told, in answer to his question.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-03-08

which he recognizes as his. He should be encouraged to make de- cisions of his own, and if they con- fiict with family or school interest, he should be helped to understand clearly why they must be altered.
 Parents must not yield to temper tantrums of children, because the child would find that these tan- trums help him to escape disagree able situations, and evade difficult. les. Since the facing of facts is an important principle of mental health, tantrums predispose the child to mental and nervous dis.. orders.
 Parents must be careful not to give the child unreasonable and contradictory commands. They must not neglect to keep their promises. They should not threat. en punishment that never mater. ializes, nor should they nag their child.
 Parents must be careful not to destroy their child's confidence and make him feel inferior. Thought less ridicule is an injury against . child's self-faith. Oftentifaes, with. out realizing his actual capacity and tastes, fathers and mothers ask more of . child than he is able to perform or s something different than he Is fitted for. They may take negative view and .empha.

size the child's failures rather tha6 his successes. If they do not uxe derstand his point of view. they may thwart him in various wayA as for example, by denying him even simple and reasonable re- quests. |
 Thoughtless parents may make E child afraid of people. If they tz1s sist upon keeping him too closely at home, confining him to theie own society they destroy his sociea boise.

Dr. Green Sees Health Standards
 Being Elevated
In Specially Prepared Article for Democrat Specialist
 Urges Sickness Prevention as One of Main Requisites Believes Education Necessary to . Good Bodies Y

Dr Jacques II. Green, child spe- cialist, in an article prepared and written exclusively for the Demo- crat, states that the young child's world is, to a certain extent, what his parents make 1t. Often 1t is less what they say, than what they in- ply that affects his feelings. Un- spoken convictions, slips of speech, or undue solicitude may convey far more tlAan is intended. And so the child's early emotional trends are forming and we may be laying foundation for nervous disorders, or foundation for efficiency and success.
 Parents are being cautioned to keep their children healthy, and in response, are recognizing the im- portance of maintaining health and preventing disease. But we should remember that in addition to im- proving the child's physical condi- ton, we must consider his intel- lectual and emotional development. The child is constantly being af- fected by mental attitude and emo- tional habits. which greatly in- fiuence health. Therefore a know ledge of mental hygiene will aid in the prevention of nervous disorders in children.
 The foundation of personality is usually laid within the first six years of life. Our earliest and firmest behavior patterns become established during these years. and some of these behavior habits are not altered. Therefore. if we form habits that handicap us, our men, tai efficiency and personal happi- ness may be impaired for life. We may find ourselves inadequate to meet the situations which life pre- tendency, that mental and nervous disorders often begin.
 Prevention, therefore, requires attention to the early developments al years. The relationship between the parent and the child must be improved. The responsibility for rests upon the fathers and moth- CTS. Parents who fail because of ignorance cannot be blamed. The problem is to keep parents in- formed.
 It is necessary for the child to develop confidence and sociability. Parents must allow the child to have experiences which develop initiative and resourcefulness They must permit him to carry all the responsibilities which he can, but should never ask too much of him. They must praise him when he does well, and be patient with his mistakes. They should help him to discover his ability and to make proper use of 1t. They should encourage him to form friendships.
 They should teach him the truth about people and train him to be understanding. They should know the value of recreation and take advantage of 1t. They should set the right example by having friends and interests of their own and by taking their part in social gatherings. They must develop self-trust in their child as mental health requires this self-trust.
 The individuals social adjust ment depends upon self-trust. The shy person, if he can be brought to admit 1t. will confess to .unhap-

A Tribute
CALVIN J. ENGLISH,

On November /, 1882, a short time be-
fore day break the spirit of Calvin ].
English was waited on snowy wings to
his immortal home. Late in the eve
ming of the same day he was laid to
rest IN Mt. Pleasant cemetery amid a
profusion of flowers, the tribute of
many friends and loved ones.
Our hearts are sad for we realize that
we must carry on without his help and
inspiration to guide US, and we yearn
for "the touch of a vanished hand, the
sound of a voice that is stilled.'
His life was ever a shining light to
all who knew him. Already we miss his
prayers, his talks and his ever ready
smile and cheerful word to every one.
He was one of the sweetest, strongest
Christian characters that l have ever
known. He lived so that you could see
Jesus through his life.
Life in and around his home seems
empty without him but this separation
will not be long, for in few more
years, one by one will the links be broken
to he united in a better world Oh!
that we could all be as near ready for
that Heavenly home as | believe he was.
