child'S innate sense of justice.
Assurance of Justice
Important Factor
If, when children are reproved
or punished or reproached, they
could always feel that justice
had prevailed, what a gain that
would be. It would help them
so much in their relations with
grownups and to a greater sense
of security.
I'm thinking just now more Of
what we call serious misbehav-
ior than of the little everyday
things-and I'm thinking more
of the in-betweens and ado
lescents than of the extremely
young children. Often-much
too often-when we are dis
turbed by something the chill
dren have done that seems to us
a rather serious misdemeanor,
we jump at conclusions.
Fail to Recognize
Difference
We're inclined to take for
granted that we know why chill
dren act in certain ways. But
we forget much too often that
their point of view is greatly at
variance with ours. We think
we know their motives for doing
things because we know what
ours would be under the circum-
stances. But much too often
we're wrong. We make a snap
judgment, and so create sense
of injustice or resentment in q
child.
So, hard as it is to imagine q
child's attitude toward many
things, difficult as it is to
"throw back" to some of our
own childhood experiences, we
must try to do both if we're
going to be fair in our estimates
of behavior and wise in our
handling.
The Washington times., 1938-10-11
Purpose Has Been
Perfectly Legitimate

For instance, a child is often
scolded for breakage or destruc'
ton when his purpose has been
to him perfectly legitimate and
all-important. What seems like
real rudeness is often only the
honesty of a child before he
has learned that society requires
that we dissemble our feelings.
What we are shocked into call"
ing stealing has no moral color
for the child who has yet to
learn the Importance of owner
ship or this meaning of hon
esty. And what offends our
sense of decency or modeSty in
regard to sex is often trace
able to a natural curiosity.
When misbehavior seems to us
to be of a serious nature we
should go slowly, find out all we
can of reasons and motives, get
the child's point of view, and
handle him with all sympathy
and understanding. It is inn
portant that our children should
feel secure in the business OF our
dealing with thems

Year-round home air condition

reach of the average American fam

man OF the Business Development
Committee of the National Warm
Air Heating and Air Conditioning
Association. Technically, he de-
clares in a year-end review, the
heating and air conditioning in
dustry is prepared to meet the in
creaslng demands indicated by home
building forecasts for 1889.
The small home dwelling, accord
ing to Mr.. Richardson, can now,
without prohibitive expense, be kept
comfortably warm in the severest
winter and comfortably cool in the
hottest summer-and constantly
supplied in every room with pure,
dirt. dust and pollen-free air,
neither too dry nor too moist for

if you have the water treated peri
odically SO that the solids are dis
solved and the insides of the boiler
and piping are made as clean as a
whistle. This conditioning will not
only make your heating system
operate more economically but will
also help to insure the plant against
the cracking of boiler sections or
pitting of the boiler tubes.
The whole process is a great deal
like having the carbon taken out

PETITION FILED
 ON BUS SERVICE
Milldale Residents Want Better Daily Accom=
 modatiOns to Waterbury

Better bus service to and from Waterbury is asked in a petition submitted to the State Public Utili- ties Commission by residents of Marion and Milldale. The petition carries the signatures of 97 residents of the two towns, and additional signatures will be secured if the commission says that they would be desirable.
 Marion and Milldale residents claim that at the present time there is only a bus available day to and from Waterbury. This, they claim, works a serious hardship on them in many cases, since many from the two towns work in Waterbury. Many others shop in this city.
 The bus franchise is held by the Southern New England Trans portation Go. The petition urges that the company be required to furnish additional service to and from this city.
 All Waterbury, Hartford busses of the company travelled via Milldale and Marion until year or two. Then the opening of the new Wa terbury- Bristol highway resulted in a change of schedule, whereby most of the husses on this line now travel by way of Bristol.

 Reiterating the announced aims or the aSSOclatlOn today, MT. Nelly declared that the organization is, and will remain for the present, non-partisan. He admitted that cer- tain aspects of personnel at the outset had indicated some political bias, but deplored criticism of the association in it's present form as committed to any partisan purpose.
 The aims of the association, as printed on the new membership cards include
 1-To represent the people of Waterbury in their desire for hon. est and efficient government.
 2-To encourage and support all public officials in the honest and faithful discharge of their duties.

Return Visit

The Halpern Building, at 136 South Main street, scene of a dis astrous fire a year ago, was the location of minor blaze today. Shortly before noon several com panies answered an alarm and quickly extinguished fire in a box of rubbish on the rear fire es- cape. A discarded cigarette butt was believed to have caused the blaze.
 On Feb. IS, 1887, fremen battled serious blaze in the same build ing for more than 12 hours. Many occupants of the building had to flee in their night-clothes, and damage was exceedingly heavy.
 In that fire, Private Harold Parker fell from the roof of the building into a cement area way. Both legs were broken and he suf- fered serious internal injuries, for which he is still under medical care. Several other f1remen suf- fered lesser injuries in the same blaze.
