Parents Threats
Ignored by
Children
BY MARTHA WNSLOW

Frightening the youngSter
into being good is a bad busi-
ness.
IT you aren't good I'll call
the policeman" IF you don't
stop crying I'll go away and
leave you" or IF you say that
naughty word again the doctor
will cut out your tongue"
How horrible they sound in
print. And yet many parents
employ such threats continually
to scare" the children into
good behavior.
Destroys Faith
NV objection to the system is,
first, that it is lying to the child.
None of these things would a
mother even think of doing. And
sooner or later the child dis
covers that she wouldn't.
He may believe the first half
dozen times and desiSt from
whatever he was doing that
brought the threats down on his
head.
But he will find her out in
the end and that feeling Of
utter confidence in his mothers
truth and sincerity will be tar
nished.
In the second place, the fright
method is apt to leave an ugly
train of fears in it's wake.
The policemen, in whom the
child should have entire conf
dence, will become his bogey
man. He will shake with fear
at the sight Of a blue uniform.
A bad foundation for future
good citizenship.
Needless Fears
If the doctor is used as the
bogey man, the child will never
again feel secure in his regular
visit to the doctors office. There
will be always a fear that THIS
visit may be the one when the
tongue cutting Cor whatever the
threat may have been will take
place.
The fear that mother may go
away and leave him is one that
the child acquires too easily
even without her assistance.
All children, at some time or
other, have suffered from night
mares that this beloved one
HAS gone and that they are
left alone.
Mother means security, love,
protection from the hundred
and one terrors of the great big
world outside. Not always ter
rors, maybe, but uncertainties.
And uncertainty is as dreadful
to a child as fear.
The youngsters whole life
may be affected by some care
less1y uttered maternal or pa
ternal threat. Threats that
mother forgot almost as soon
as she had uttered them but
which the child treasured in
some dark far-off corner of his
mind to ponder over later.
Fair Warning
It is right that the child
should be warned that if he
does something which has been
forbidden he will be punished.
That is only sporting. But it
should be fair warning and not
a threat. Such as:
"The next time I hear you
use that word 1 will wash out
your mouth with SOAP"
The intention of the parent
here is not to frighten but to
warn. Just as she might have
said:
eff you touch the stove it
will burn your hand"
The child will recognize the
difference.

Questions
SPEAKS POORLY

QuestiOn-My 6-year-old boy
does not speak clearly. He
starts to school shortly and 1
am afraid it will handicap him.
What shall / dO?-MrS. w.
w. w.
Answer j His slowness in
speaking clearly may be due to
deafness or some speech defect
easily remedied. Take him to
the Child Guidance Clinic for
examination. If it is deafness
his handicap should be taken
into consideration early in his
training. The sooner you know
1t the better.
NURSING BEST
Question: am expecting my
first baby in April and would
like information on child feed
ing from birth to about 4 years.
Mrs. C. E.
Answer: I am sending you
both the Food Chart and Child
Feeding Guides. Both, however,
are for children after the first
year so I suggest you rut them
away for future reference. Re
garding your baby I strongly
advise that you nurse it if pos
Sible.
Nothing is so completely salts
factory as mothers milk. If
you are not able to do so get
a good doctor as soon as possible
and consult with him regarding
a formula. It is most impor-
tant, when the mother cannot
nurse the child, that the proper
substitute be found at once. It
is impossible to prescribe any
one formula that will suit all
children.

Beauty Queries
And Answers
BRUSHING HAIR

Question: have started Civ.
ing my hair the daily brush
ings that you advocate, and
can already see an improvement
in it. However, I use a stiff,
wire brush, and was wondering
whether this type of brush is
advisable. Can you enlighten
me? E. F.
Answer-Extremely stiff, wire
brushes are, in my opinion, too
harsh for use on the tender
scalp. Brushes with sharp
tipped bristles are also mad
visable, as the sharp ends are
likely to scratch the scalp.
Properly made brushes have
blunt ends on the bristles. Of
course, the bristles of your
brush must be fairly stiff, for
if they are too soft, your hair
and scalp will not derive much
benefit from the brushings.
The best type of brush for the
hair is the sort with bristleS
that are blunt-tipped, flexible,
and long enough to penetrate
to the scalp as the implement
is used.

IS BAD PRACTICE

Judging from news item IN last
weeks issue of this newspaper the
spotlight hunter is again busy.
Everyone should know that spotlight
hunting is not only contrary to law put
also violates all the rules of sportsman
ship. There is undisputed evidence
that many deer is wounded by spot
light hunting, wanders away IN the
darkness and is left to suffer and die
later in the woods
Spotlight hunting also carries the adj
ditional danger to human beings and tc
livestock. The man who is hunting deer
by spotlight can see only the ares
covered by the light. He cannot kno"
what lies in the surrounding darkness:
within range of his shot
He may kill a human being OF
valuable livestock.
It ought not to be necessary to say
anything about this perniclous practice
vet it continues to be quite common
The man who persists in spotligh
hunting is probably so constituted tina
he can be influenced only by tear O
punishment by the law

Who can resist the appeal that there
was in the presidents speech a short
time ago when he spoke over the radio.

president meant no narrow measure.
He made reference to the boys in
France, who made the remark concern
ing their home land. Gods country.
The soldiers meant that which every

pursuit Of happiness according TO ones
own desires, ambition and aspiration to
succeed to the highest office in the land
with possibility Of realization. The right
to worship according to the dictates OF
ones own conscience. The land OF their
birth and its glorious traditions and in
spirations.
But the president probably visioned
something more. Let's make this Gods
Country" implies that there is some
/ thing vet to be done; that something
has either been left undone or has beer
perverted and must be reformed. The
president knows that opportunity ha:
become grossly unequal and that power
for human happiness based upon at
tainment of material wealth as ma
tional heritage, has passed and tina
it must be regained, not by the effort
of any party or any group, but by tn

LIBERTY OF THE INDIVIDUAL
VERSUS DESPOTISM.

There is a battle of ideas sweeping
the world today-a conflict between
two opposing PHILOSOPHERS Of govern
ment
The battle is being waged between
the forces of liberty and those OF
despotism. And the forces Of despotism
are winning.
Liberty Of the Individual is at stake
the right OF the individual to govern
himself through duly elected repre-
sentatives.
Everywhere that right is being chal-
lenged. Liberties that the American
citizen has long held to be his inalien-
able right are being denied by other
governments to vast numbers of people
and the contention vigorously made
and maintained by force-that the In
dividual has by right none of the liber-
ties that the American holds dear.
/ once heard the statement made that
when Moses said to Pharaoh Let my
people CO." from thence sprang the
American republic. This unquenchable
desire Of the human soul for liberty
from the expressions of despotism re-
ceiyed new life in the freedom of mind
and spirit that came as result OF the
Renaissance and the Reformation. 1t
found further and stronger expression
among the English people at Runny-
mede, in the enactment of habeas
corpus and in control of taxation by
elected representatives Of the people.
This philosophy of government, after
battling through the centuries, found its
highest expression in the government
established by our forefathers and
founded upon the theory that that gov
eminent is best and most nearly per-
feet that grants to the Individual the
greatest degree of personal liberty
From that liberty and from that free
ing of the spirit of man has come the
greatest government and the highest
standard of living ever enjoyed BY
any people, at any time, anywhere.
The American theory of government
is that the state exists only for tht
protection and highest possible develop
ment of the individual, that the indi-
vidual is paramount and the STATE
secondary. The contrary philosophy 0
government that is today battling thu
American theory holds that the in
dividual is but the pawn of the stat
and that the state is supreme. Libert,
Of the Individual is scoffed at as
worn-out notion of mistaken govern
ments.
Here is what Premier Mussolini say
of fascism, one of the strongest oppon
ents to the theory of Individual hbert,
Signor Mussolini says
"Fascism combats the whole compile
of democratic theology and repudiate
it. III. Fascism denies that the majorit
by the simple fact that it is majorit
can direct human society. Fascisl
denies in democracy that absurd cor
ventinnal untruth of political equallt
IL. Fascism has taken up an attituc
of complete opposition to the doctrine
of Liberalism born in the political fiel
and the field Of economics. If tt
nineteenth century was a century
individualism, it may be expected tn
this will be century of collectivisr
and hence the century Of the state.
The fascist state is an embodied will
power and government; the Rom;
tradition is here an ideal of force
action"
The Italian leaders frankly admit tn
theirs is regimented economy dictate
by government through bureaucrac
and that it is unavoidable except
