For Sound Rest

A change in bedmaking technique
often will help to solve sleeping
problems. Bedclothes which are too
tightly tucked in will interfere with
the free movement of the sleeper
and thus cause wakefulness. Most
bedmaking authorities agree that
the top sheet and blanket should
be firmly tucked in at the bottom
OF the bed, but that they shouH be
left hanging free at the sides. Most
important, however, is that the bed
clothes are used over a good spring
and mattress.

similar to the conduct of those boys
fathers-if not better.
We don't recommend that any
young modern try to correct the
manners of his parents, but If any
mothers and fathers happen to read
this, we'd like to make suggestion
to them. And that is that they rec
ognize this feeling in their sons and
daughters as natural, and then
check on their own conduct for fac
tors which may arouse it needlessly.
Many parent has lacked up his
slipping table manners because a
teen-age daughter has started to no.
tice such things. Many a mother
has dressed more neatly and more
becomingly because she wanted to
appear attractive to son who was
beginning to cast a seeing eye on
feminine appearance.
Don't be one of those parents who
let their manners and their minds
go to seed, stodgily ignoring the in
creasing embarrassment which they
are inspiring in their children. And
then don't be hurt and outraged be-
cause your carelessness sets up a
conflict in your sons or daughters
heart, which bursts out in impudent
reproof or sharp criticism of you.
We don't expect you to adopt the
standards of the younger genera
ton. We do think you can recog-
nize how important those standards
are to your son and daughter, and
avoid violating them too openly or
too flagrantly.

Children Born Of Older Parents

are unhealthy and short-lived. As sociated with this is the idea that babies born from older parents are likely to be more intelligent, suc- cessful and brilliant than the babies born of younger parents.
 These beliefs are absolutely with out any scientific basis. Of course, the age of the mother at the time the child is born may have a de- finite effect on the ease of the childbirth and on the health Of the mother. Experts are convinced that purely from the point of view of cast of childbirth, the ideal age for an American woman to begin her family is between l7 and l9.
 
 When the age of parents affects the nature of the child, 1t is only through environment of the child after he is born. If a child, born of older parents, is more weakly or frail than other children, the ex- planation is not found in anything except that the older woman has probably had more diseases which aioNC diACStSu iiSt UO<ly up VO ptiC time when the child was born.
 It is also possible that children born from very old mothers are generally not wanted, and child birth occurs under unfavorable conditions.
 The child of older parents is usually surrounded by older brothers and sisters and their friends and therefore, is likely to be pampered and spoiled. Such child frequently spends most of his time with older people and, therefore, tends to be- come high-strung and precocious.
 People who try to bolster up be- liefs in the extraordinary genius of children born of older parents are able to point to an occasional mo- table like Benjamin Franklin and Enrico Caruso to prove their point.
 There is nothing about the con- sitution, the physical or the mental condition of fathers and mothers over 40 years old to indicate that their age and the conditions of their bodies can in any way influence the mentality of child.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-05-01

ment, Doctor Spekter stressed as the mental requirements of the child must also be considered. Ed ucation must be continued, and in some cases suitable vocational train- ing must be found. Such a thorough undertaking requires help both from professional and lay groups.
 Newingt0n Home
 Crippled children services have been carried on for a number of years before the State program went Into effect. The Newington Home for Crippled Children is the only crippled children institution in the State. There are several clinics such as the New Haven Dlspensary the Hartford Dispensary, and the Chase Dispensary of Waterbury which give orthopedic care. The Crippled Children's Clinic of Bridge port cares for children in and around Bridgeport, The Anna Had ley flakes Memorial Clinic in Win sted, founded by q local lay group, cares for children and adults in that locality. There Is the Crippled Children's Aid Society of New Ha- ven. The Connecticut Society for Crippled Children is a statewide or- ganization which sponsors workshops in several cities. Finally, there is the good work done by the funda from the Presidents Birthday Ball
 The Division of Crippled Children of the State Department of Health tries to care for those children who wouh be otherwise neglected, Doc tor Spekter said.

Youngsters of City May Enjoy Seasonal Recrea-

Year-round opportunities for re- creation are now offered the boys and girls of Waterbury by the city park department. Under Superin-' tendent James J. Curtin, the depart- ment's programs have been expand ed to offer youth wholesome recrea- ton during every month of the year
 Fairgrounds will be open soon again, to be used by thousands of youngsters during the summer va cation season. But the park system now make available fun and educa- ton in every season of the year.
 The park, of course, primarily af- ford places for play. There are base ball and football fields tennis and volley ball courts, soccer field and facilities for many other sports. In summer there are wading and swim ming pools available, and in the winter there is skating and basket ball.
 But beyond these sports, the park department now has courses of in- struction in several subjects. Young sters can learn simple crafts as well as receive instruction in singing dancing and dramatics. Splendid work along this line has been done at the Chase Park Community house, and at the Washington Park Community house.
 This summer will find Supt. Cur tin directing the busiest program in the departments history. The play grounds, to be opened late m June will have supervisors qualified not only to direct sports and games but also to give instruction in such sub jects as sewing, woodwork, tin and leather crafts, etc. There will be special activities for younger chil-

 YOungsters-State Cooperating

The crippled children problem is so huge that it must be met by the combined efforts of State and pri- vate agencies, Louis Spekter, M. D., Chief, Division of Crippled Child ren emphasized today in the weekly broadcasts of the State Department of Health. There is just as much need as ever for all the private agen- cies in the field and continued fin- ancial support by the public to the fine work which these organizat tons are accomplishing was urged.
 In seeking treatment for crip- pied child, see your doctor first, Doctor Spekter advised. He will know what type of care should be given, and whether the services of the Division of Crippled Children are needed.
 Monthly Clinics
 State services for crippled children were started about two years ago by the State Department of Health through State and Federal funds. Six clinics, held monthly, are now established in various parts of the State where children under twenty one years of age, referred by licnsd physicians and unable to pay for private care, are examined and treatment prescribed.
 The Division of Crippled Child ren makes particular effort to carry out complete treatment for the very beginning until the child is cured or made as well as possible. This work does not stop with medical treat
