Don't Discuss
War Before
Children
Remember They'll
Look to Parents
For Protection
Bv Leffice Lee Street,

Without allowing you time 10
think. if some one said. Describe
a tableau OF mother and a child
that would be symbolical of your
idea of motherhood, what word pic
ture would you draw? Almost at
once you would answer. "A mother
with her arms protectingly around
her baby" And so it is. Parenthood
means the protecting as well as the
rearing and guiding of children.
Today We modern mothers in
North America are called upon to
use this instinct TO protect our chill
dren. but in circumstances that SO
far, thanks to a gracious Providence
do not involve physical danger.
The Government has printed list
of 'don'ts' for citizens to remember
in the event of war peril. The group
includes these terse and sensible
words: do not discuss air raids in
the presence of small children" 1t
could be enlarged to also say: do
not discuss the war at all before
little children"
If We should discuss the multiple
complex results that the instilling
of panic can cause in a child there
would be subject matter enough for
a book. Fear patterns that are
engraved on a little child's mind
may eat deeper and deeper until
they are impossible to erase and will
plague him all his life long.
But instead of delving deeply into
child psychology let us view the
matter from an everyday. common
sense angle that We can understand,
and let us all agree to be very
very careful what We say about the
war in the presence of our little
pitchers with big ears
Even the young child under a year
old is sensitive to his mothers emo
tions and the brave and wise woman
is she who recognizes and responds
to her mothers instinct not only
to protect her child. but also to
avoid any shcw of worry and panic
before him for his sake.

gay shade of polish and Hpstick
need not change to pale, Subdued
tone Just because this is wartime.
particularly when a bright color on
her fingertips gives her more OF a
lift than a pep talk does. It's pre-
dicted that rose tones and deeper
will be favored for spring, not only
from a morale standpoint but also
from the fashion one. These shades
will blend with the perennial blues
and beiges of spring clothes, as we'll
as with the defense blue of some
of the new civilian defense uni
forms.
If you're really doing some work
in which your nails take beat
ing" adopt the helpful suggestions
which have been proved most effl-
cient. Remember that two coats of
nail enamel not only look better
than one, but also stick to the nail
longer. Make use of one of the pro-
tective, colorleSS cOatingS which go
on over the polish and help TO keep
it from chipping. Dab a little of
this same liquid under your nail
tips and let it harden there to give
added support and help prevent
breakage.
At the same time that YOU care
for your nails, give little added
attention to your hands, especially
if your work keeps you outdoors a
great deal. Use hand cream or 10
ton at night, and once in a while
60 to bed wearing those cozy flannel
mittens to keep the cream from
smearing onto sheets or pillowcaSeS.
Keep your cuticle soft and smooth,
and be sure to have a professional
manicure now and then, even If
you're in the habit of doing your
own" The manicurist gets your
nails In good shape. SO that its
much easier for you TO keep them
that way.
