DON'T LET BOMBS
CAUSE HYSTERIA
Attitude OF Parents Best
Mental Protection For
The Children

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 16-CWide
Worl6-If your home is bombed
don't get hysterical and make men,
tai wrecks of your children.
The American Committee on Ma.
ternal Welfare, which will meet
here next week in conjunction with
the second American Congress on
Obstetrics and Gynecology, de.
clared today that the attitude of
the mother and father and older
children is the best mental pro.
lection for young child.
Children OF highly impression-
able years take the cue to fright
or calmness from their parents or
older children and in bombings.
Just as in thunderstcrms. the at
titude of older members of the
family is reflected in the youngest
children.
1t has been found in England
during the heaviest of lombard.
ments that if the mother remained
calm and maintained her menta,
polse, child would take its milk
almost as calmly as he usually
did. However, if the mother be-
came excited and hysterical the
child reacted in the same way and
it would sometimes require sew.
eral days to bring him back to
normal.
In view of the general posi-
billty of air raids on American
cities, particularly in the coastal
zones, the committee regards it
important that American mothers
understand and prepare we'll in
advance for the task of protect
ing their babies"
The committee listed five in
structions for parents:
l. However frightened you may
feel, keep outwardly calm and un-
Hurried so that the child's conf
dence in your own protectiveness
will not be shaken.
2. Never speak of the raid in
the child's hearing if you ca n
avoid it. Mental impressions are
formed much earlier than mos.
people realize.
3. When the raid signal sounds,
take shortcut to the nearest shell,
ter. If there is none nearby, take
the baby to the safest room in
the house or to some point pro-
tected against flying splinters.
4. Take garments enough to keep
MIN warm. A basket or pillow, a
first aid outfit, toy to amuse him,
bottle of milk and bottle OF
water. Have these gathered into
an emergency kit.
5. If a raid should come while
you are walking in the park or
other open space, place the baby
against the nearest wall or side
of ditch, however low, wrap him
up as well as possible, and lie
down beside him.
In any event, the committee add
ed, don't scream, shout, cry or
start running in circles, because
such antics harm the mentality of
young children, even though they
may still be unable to walk or
talk. 1

from B. L. Grooms, president of
the Key West Electric Company,
notifying the city that orders had
been received from the Defense
Council calling for the installation
of dimout lights at the foot of

brought about due to complaints
from government authorities that
the present street lights in that
section were plainly visible to

placed with dimoutS.
The council ordered that no

JACKSONVILLE, Dec. q
His aversion against "raiding
the treasury of the United
States was his reason for re-
signing as Florida state director
of the Office of Price Admins
tration, Walter c. Sherman de-
clared in a statement issued to-
day.
Sherman, who is the president
of the Florida State Associated
Chambers of Commerce, resigned
his OPA job almost three months
ago, and, since then, there had
been a great deal of conjecture
about the reason for his resign
ing. 1t was to put an end to
this talk that Mr.. Sherman said
he resigned because he did not
want to be one of the many thou
sands who are raiding the treas
ury of the United States.
He said that while he held the
office and that since then also he
has heard many men brag about
the federal so-called jobs they

ITALIANS AND

CAIRO. Dec. 1.-THE Germans

shall Ron1mel. have made a stand
at Ell Agheila against the British
eighth rmy. according to advices
from the front received here to-
day.
The reports said that Rommel,
in addition to the excellent de-
lenses that the salt marshes pro-
vide at Ell Agheila, has heavily
mined the approaches to that
place, so that the attacking British
have to exercise extreme care be-
fore advancing.
Military circles believe here
that Rommel will not fight an all
out battle at Ell Agheila, but a de-
laying action instead. To do that,
it is pointed out, he needs only a
small part of his dwindled COM
mand to hold the British back be-
cause of the mine fields and the
marshes with which they will
have to contend before they reach
Ell Agheila.

Mrs. Henry Russell addressed
the board relative to some pipe
which was put down recently at
her home, connecting up with the
sewer system. which proved to be
unsatisfactory, and requested the
board to have same remedied. The
matter was referred to the Board
of Public Works.
A letter was read from the sec
rotary of the State Board of Medi-

made for helping out Key West in
the shortage of doctors at this
time. The secretary advised that
the services of DR.. Gonzalez and
others available. be utilized until
some steps can be taken to furnish
the city with additional physi-
clans.
Another letter was read from
the Board of Examiners stating
that the organization does not
have the power to issue special
permits for physicians to practice,
but said that everything possible
would be done to help out in the
matter.
The resignation of Fireman
Caesar Catala was accepted, and
the appointment of Wilson Jolly
to fill the vacancy was approved.
A vote of thanks, was extended
to Mayor Albury and Building

West to prove to the War Depart
ment that the deepening of the
waterway between Bahia Honda
and Key West is of the utmost i'm
portance not only in helping the
War-cffort in Key West but also
in conserving it, so to speak.
What would happen to Key
West in getting supplies from the
mainland were the wooden
bridges damaged to so great an
extent they would be unsafe for
traffic to pass over them?
We would have to depend on
supplies reaching us by sea is the
positive answer to that question,
it was pointed out. And it was
pointed out further that the pro-
posed inland water route would
be the only one, coming into Key
West, that would be beyond the
sphere of attack by enemy sub
marines.
