CAUSE AND CURE OF
 CYNOPHOBIA

Some neighbors of ours, writes a dweller in Paradise, have a playful Collie. The dog is harmless and friendly toward everybody. But early in the summer our two year old son toddled past the neighbor's yard and the big dog came barking and galloping toward him in his playful way. He brushed against the boy, then turned and whirled in a circle in the yard, and again came barking at him. He did not bite or injure the boy but just frightened him terribly. The child cried for two hours before we could quiet him. Prior to this he had never shown any great concern about dogs, cats or other animals. Ever since he cringes in, fear when ever he sees a dog or thinks he sees one even at distance. He spots them far away and begins to cry and tremble. Frequently at night in his sleep he screams "Woo-Woo" (his word dog). How can we cure him of this fear of dogs? It is be- coming embarrassing. Nowadays 1t seems that nearly every family must have @ dog and car whether they have a baby or not. The question should interest many of your readers.
 If the boy had dog of his own, perhaps the antics of the playful Collie would not have frightened him. Even if the boys parents, guardians or teachers were not themselves more or less obsessed with cynophobia Unreasonable fear of dogs), the incident would not have made such deep impression. We are assuming the boy is men, tally normal.
 If 8 child's parents, elders or tu- tors are themselves obSessed with cynophobia 1t is impossible for them to conceal their morbid fear from the child. If father or mother or nurse or aunt or grampa Is afraid of any particular thing the child will inevitably be afraid of 1t too.
 This is best illustrated by the widely prevalent ophidiophobia Clear of snakes). This fear is not in- stinctive, as many imagine. Until taught by the ignorant, supersti- tious parent or nurse or tutor to fear and hate all "horrid crawling reptiles" an infant shows no more fear than one does of another in- fant or a kitten or 8 bird. If the parent or guardian of the child IS intelligent and able to distinguish the comparatively rare venomous from the common harmless kind, the child will not only acquire no cruel hatred of snakes but may well learn to admire them for their beauty and to enjoy the study and observation of their natural life habits.
 Let the childs dreams be filled with the delightful antics of his own pet puppy. That is the way to- save him from degenerating Into .

Into SLASHING THE COST OF LIVING Mrs. Maddox has crammed hundreds of nuggets of information that will enable yo uto save greater share of the gold that drifts into the family coffers. She not only tells you how to prepare delightfully."- mouth watering dishes made up of low cost foods, but she outlines bal anced menus in which they can be used to best advantage.
 And, good news for the steaks and chops loving members of the family, she shows how these delicacies can be kept on the weekly menu while savings are made.
 From every standpoint you will find SLASHING THE COST OF LIVING a practical help in meeting the rising cost of food. Best of all,, you won't have to go out of your way to take advantage o fthem, for all twelve articles will be presented in the Waterbury Democrat in daily releases, beginning tomorrow. Watch for each article as 1t appears-then continue to make use of Mrs. Mad- dox' helpful menu articles every weekday of the year.

Don't go around saying to peo- pie, T always remember faces, but I can't remember names to save my life." It isn't a thing to be proud of, and besides, you can remember names if you take a little trouble.
 Make Sure of Name
 When you are introduced to an- other person and the name is mumbled so that you are not sure whether it is Simon or Simmons, ask to have it repeated. Then say it over to yourself few times until you are sure that you know it. When you leave Mrs. Sim mons-if it was Simmons, and not Simon-call her by name. People like the sound of their own names. It proves that they have made an impression as person.
 Remember, too, the more thss you find out about person tine easier it will be for you to remem-7 Der his name. Even the smallest bits of information give you something on which to hang his name.
 Fear is the worst foe of person. ality. Inside you are friendly, anxious to like others, and eager for them to like you. But you are afraid to show that friendliness for fear it will be misunderstood and you will be snubbed. Only with people that you feel are your interiors are you able to be yourself. !.
 Most Are in Same Boat
 It sounds like a pretty hopeless sort of situation - but cheer up. At least half of the people in the, world are like you. And psychol- ogists say that all of us have some fears caused by feelings of in- feriority along some lines.
 Take advantage of the psychol- ogist's secret that all people feel inferior at times, and set about putting other people at ease. Don't stand silent when you meet another person. Start talking to him. Find out everything you can about that stranger, telling him just as little as you can about yourself. And when you part company, it's ten to one he will. leave you saying, My, what an interesting person." And more than that, he'll probably bless you in his heart for your friendliness. For underneath his fine clothes he probably was as ill-at-ease and embarrassed as you were.

Mary Cleaver of Buffalo wants help in planning a football supper She writes that her local high school has winning team this year and she thinks it would be great fun for the girls of the school to give football suppers after each game. That's a good suggestion. Just re- member that the days are cold, the excitement high and the appetite and spirits correspondingly jolly and vigorous, so there's no need to Ee too fancy.
 Try something like this: a whole baked ham, great dish Of baked spaghetti and cheese Oots of cheese, please, Mary Cleaver) one large partitioned dish giddS with assorted pickles, chilli sauce and catsup (football players and their admirers have a way with catsup), warm finger rolls, put tered in the kitchen, great red dishes of Spiced cranberry sauce and two kinds of pie, pumpkin and apple being the first sugges- tions. After that coffee or hot chocolate, cigarettes and thin hints colored according to your high school or college colors Touchdown!

.BEAUTX-
Glorifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

The best dressed, most careful . ly groomed women take new fash- 1! ions seriously, but they are ever cautious of exaggerated styles which seem to spring like weeds from every new fashion. Furthermore, the question of suitability always tenn .pers their judgment. .
 Consider the brushed upward hairstyles of the moment. There is no question that a piled-high arrangement which reveals ears and nape of the neck and is fin-, ished with clusters of curls on top, of the head is flattering to @ strik- ing woman with fairly regular. features-especially when she's, wearing formal gown. I
 But the unfortunate thing iss that thousands of women with heads and faces entirely unsuit-.s, able for such an all-revealing coiffure wear it just the sames What is worse, they go in for startling adaptations of the mode, And when a rather plain woman pulls her perfectly straight locks severely upward from her neck and ears and back from her brow, places an even more severe knot on top of her head, then wears al hat over 1t, she's taken @ style not fashion--to heart. And you know the result. z
 The same point is applicable to. nail lacquer trends. Colored pol- ish is smart, but not exactly prac- tical for one who types a good deal, does housework or filing CT whatever. Nothing is less attrac- tive than slightly clipped or, cracked scvarlet polish. Unless you have time to change your lacquer the moment a chip appears, bet-y ter stick to neutral, pinkisl
 shades on which imperfections are not so obvious. z
 Similar rules apply to your wardrobe. The image of 6 paig pink suede jacket that you saw on Hollywood girl in Q swanly fashion magazine may haunt your, dreams, but if you have to count your pennies and if your office i& 8 none too spotless place, better forget about pale pink suede. =,
 Likewise, if you can have one. winter evening gown and only one-it's wiser to resist the temps tation to buy the bouffant pinh tafetta or the scarlet velve yot' saw advertised. A black or wing, or plum or white gown or&
 which looks different with diffeN ent accessories will make yOefI infinitely happier in the long run. N

and be very crisp. Combined with the rich spaghetti and cheese mixture, they add surprise.
 Spiced Cranberries
 (Serves 10 gridiron appetites)
 Eight cups cranberries, 1 cup vinegar, cup cider. 8 cups brown sugar, 2 sticks cinnamon, whole cloves.
 Clean cranberries carefully. Place in large saucepan with all the other ingredients. Bring to boil and when soft, mash the berries with a wooden spoon. Skirl off foam at first. Continue to simmer for about 15 minutes after they have reached boiling point. Mash through coarse sieve. Chill thoroughly. Then yell "Hooray for our side and the bountiful, friendly, informal foot ball supper"
