THE CHILD AND HIS HOBBY
BY Lois Smelling


| "A cleaning up" was in progress
Mrs. Manley stood at the open doc
OF the garage. gazing disgustedl!
about her.
June, junk. junk" she sighed. al
she brayely attacked one corner q
the room.
This" she said to neighbor call
er, as she stacked bottles into q
large basket, "is Phirs collection
He's collector. you know, as mos
boys seem 10 be. He collects bottles
But" and she chuckied as she wepi
on filling her basket, 'ihe won't am
more. The junk man Is going to start

the neighbor protested. "It reminds
me Of the time destroyed Buds col

had a bonfire while he was away.
And I've regretted 1t ever since.
But, my dear a homes made to
live it! One can't give 1t up to junk
"of course not" the neighbor
laughed. Certainly not to such fool
ish junk. But children are reason
able creatures. One should take time
to assist them in arranging their coll
lections, and. in the case of boxes
and bottles, putting them, when pos
sible, to some good use. After Buds
heart was broken over the loss of
his boxes, encouraged him to start
a more worthwhile collection. He is
now very much interested in his
birds nests and is becoming a real
student of bird life."
well. that is splendid" Mrs. Man
ley said. "An educational thing. So
why do you regret the loss of the
crazy boxes? He'd never learn any
thing from such a collection as
that, any more than Phil will from
this outfit"
"The box collection did not bene7
fit him much, it is true, but 1t was
his. collection. He should have been
allowed to outgrow 1t as result of
a new and better interest. Had he
eliminated the boxes himself so as
to take up something more enjoy
able, the experience would have been
ONE of entire satisfaction. As it was,
1t brought much unhappiness and
most regrettable of all, the convicr
tion that / was not to be trusted
around his possessions"
But is a collection necessary
Mrs. Manley unused, as she ruefully
began replacing the bottles in their
untidy corner.
1T seems to be natural phase OF
a child's development. ! suppose II
is the beginning Of a hobby and
seem to have decided
that hobby is necessary to the
happiness of every human
being" the neighbor replied. "The
together of certain inter-
ssting specimens can teach child
lessons, aside from the
pleasure that 1t gives him. Ny Bud
las learned things about birds that
ie never would have known had he
lot started nest collection. He has
earned the art of competing with
,thers, too, for he is not the only
,irds' nest collector. He has learned
low to take care of his property, for
Ie knows there is no sense in wait
ng all spring for bird to abandon
IS nest and then permitting 1t to be
estroyed through carelessness."
Mrs. Manley picked up her empty
asket.
"I'll talk to Phil about the bot
Ies," she laughed. 81 see that he
lust have a collection. Perhaps. la
sr he will like TO collect something
but l won't hurry him.

And leave Him there
And face your doom

But yield your all
Your life TO Him

Harrison outlined his views re-

year and said he hoped that con-
gress would stand firmly for reduc-
tion of emergency relief expendi-
lures.
Nothing would aid business more
than for the country to know
definitely that we are retrenching
and are going TO balance the
budget" the Mississippi senator
hsaid...
Harrison did not preclude the pos
sibility of action at the special
session to mo'iify the undistributed
profits tax but he said he favored
an orderly procedure" which would
call for action by the senate after
the house initiates such a move.
That procedure he added, probably
would mean delay until next ses-

Labor Camps

Another Obstacle to
Opening Transient
Unit VaniSheS

BRAWLEY, Nov. 16.-
Sweeping aside one of the
last obstacles in the path of
opening the new federal la
Dor camp here, city council
men and federal officials today
agreed on temporary contract
to- supply the camp with water.
The agreement ends weeks of
conferences and discussions. Chief
stumbling block was the city's con-
tention that its finances would not
permit spending $4,000 for new
filters which will be necessary
The temporary contract, yet to
be signed, will provide water for
the new 100000 camp at the north
city limits at regular rates, city
officials explained.
Since 200 camp sites are pro-
vided for the migratory agrlcul-
tural workers, the daily supply will
greatly increase the total passing
through the city water plant every
day.
water service is expected to be
available within a week, city Off
cials said.
Prospective residents at the camp
have swamped the management
within the last few days with re-
quests for entrance, Charles Barry,
camp manager, said Tuesday. More
than 300 families were turned
away in the last two weeks.
Tuesday was devoted to checking
work which must be done before
the camp will be opened to the
agricultural workers for whom it
was built by the government over
the protests of Brawley residents.
1t is expected to be only matter
Of days before plans are completed
for the opening.
The first event at the camp
will be well baby clinic scheduled
for Thursday under the auspices
of the state department of hearth,
