WHEN ARE DUPLICATE TOYS
ADVISABLE?

If there are young children only a
year or so apart in a family, or if there
are twins in home, the question some
times arises as to whether duplicate toys
should be bought, so that the children
can play with the same things at the
same time, or whether this should be
avoided, in the interests of teaching
the children to take turns and share.
There is no doubt about tiff one Of
the children starts to play with toy.
the other is more apt than not to want
it. It's not strange that to buy two of
everything should seem an easy way out
of quarreling and teasing. Can we lay
down any general rules as to when this
course is advisable?
There are some things that a child
wants to use so often, and that to
satisfy so great a need that he can
hardly be expected constantly to share
them. Two little girls, for instance,
shouldn't be asked to get along with
only one doll Each will have a per-
want to play with it so much that the
only solution is two dolls. On the other
hand, single toy iron can be used by
both, because an iron is not used so
necessarily. The little trucks that boys
are so devoted to should belong to
their individual owners, for cooperative
play can be carried on much better if
each has his own to use in imaginative
play. Again, each child needs his own
scissors, if they greatly enjoy cutting
out pictures.
On the other hand, we need to con-
slider the benefits that come from play
that encourages cooperation. A sand
pile is such thing-but here again,
each child must have a spoon or
shovel. Blocks may be jointly owned,
for the opportunity to share and lend
to one another as the needs of each
vary is good practice for thousands of
situations in everyday life. A see-saw,
or any piece of apparatus that is
adapted to the use of two or more
children, would obviously be a thing
calculated to induce cooperation.
Often the decision of family on this
question seems to be made on the basis
of expense. If the toys are cheap, let's

Farmer Gets License

The car, a four-door touring model,

WPA WORK
THREATENED
Fourth District May Not Have
Road Program Because of
insufficient Funds.

Because adequate funds are not avail
able in the construction fund, there may
not be a WPA road program in the
Fourth district this year, according to
Jacob L. Pete, commissioner. From
this fund the sponsors share must be
taken. But $500 is now on hand.
At the present time there are about
$50 men employed on WPA road pro-
jectS within the district, Mr.. Pete
states. How long they can be kept on
the projects, unless money for the
sponsors share can be obtained, is a
matter of conjecture.
WPA authorities underwrite about
three quarters of the WPA road pay
roll while the county must provide the
other one-quarter.
The subject is expected to receive
further discussion at board meeting
being held this week.

"Guest" in TOlUn Once
Stole Locomotive.

Rd Wing-GoodneSs graciousI The
local police department was In actual
danger, one night recently. when one
Harold Boyd, 39-year-old transient slept
there. He might have stolen the jail
or the city hall in which it is located.
For Boyd has some record. His finger
prints sent to Washington prove that.
Ever since 1924 he has been in and out
of jail. Boyd at one time stole" a
locomotive from the B. & o. railroad
in Berkeley Springs, West Va, and
that's some job of stealing in any
body's crime catalogue. No charge was
entered against him in Red Wing but
just the same, the cops are rather glad
he didn't ply his trade here.

Growing With Your Child
University of Minnesota, Institute of Child welfare

have two; if expensive, buy only one.
That this doesn't always work is shown
in a case like that of tricycles. The
child will not only use a tricycle. for
several years, but it is the kind of
equipment that will keep him playing
happily out of doors for hours. But, you
say, why not give one child wagon,
and the other a tricycle., and let them
take turns?" All right, but we must
keep in mind that child is more likely
to take good care of things that are
his very own. Part of the value of pos
sessions of his own, to a child, lies in
the fact that having his own things
teaches him to respect the feeling other
people have for their property. Child
rem in a family where all the toys are
owned jointly, where they are all tossed
helter-skelter into box, can't have
the feeling of personal pride in owner
ship that seems to mean so much to
most humans
It's obvious that this question can't
be settled offhand, or once and for ALL
No solution will fit every case. One of
the things to remember is that if a
child were to have every wish gratified,
with no opportunities for giving in,
awaiting his turn, and getting along
without things, he would soon be un-
bearably selfish. But the feeling of
generosity comes from having, as well
as from giving. Only child who knows
what it truly means to possess some
thing for his very own can have the joy
that comes from handing it over whole
heartedly, so that another can have the
pleasure he has had. 1t would be quite
as bad never to buy two playthings Of
a kind as always to buy them.
