WHY WAIT FOR DADDY?
JACK wooTEN

Tommy had been really less
troublesome than usual, but thai
did not affect his mothers custom
airy threat of punishment:
I'm going to tell your daddy
when he comes home" she declar-
ed. "He must punish you"
Tommy had heard words like
these many times. Often they were
drummed into his ears when Mother
came home from a bridge party or
the picture show. At first the child
trembled at the threat, but when he
came to learn that Mother didn't
seem to mean what she said, it
didn't bother him a particle. Occa-
sionally she would tell his daddy,
who travelled and sometimes was,
away from home three weeks at a
time. But when that happened his
prank or. disobedience was so old
and stale that Daddy didn't see any
use in Furnishing him.
"The only way to impress a child
when he does wrong" the father
had reiterated many times, "is to
punish him as soon after it occurs
as possible. A boy Tommy's age
forgets wrongdoings very quickly.
So when he is naughty why wait
until l come home toI try to straight
EN- him out? Why dbn't you punish
him then and there?"

Don't Shoot, Please

A Washington committee, fearful
of a dangerous doctor shortage, has
proposed arbitrary halting of fur,
ther enlistment by medical men in
the armed services until bureau
has been created to supervise an6
control the drafting and recruiting
of doctors" Apparently, pending
establishment of the bureau, our
soldiers are supposed to keep out
of the way of enemy bullets.
The military services are entitled
to every doctor they need. And they
are entitled to them without await
ing the pleasure of a bureau in
Washington. AS the American Med
ical Journal observes: "The least
that the nation can do for those
who offer their lives in combat is
to provide them with the utmost
that medicine can offer for the al
deviation of the wounded and the
prevention of unnecessary death. !"
The armed forces are getting the
doctors they need. They are get
ting them now; the best medical
men in the world.
AS far as civilian needs are con-
cerned, the American Medical Jour-
nal points out that weekly survey
by the Procurement and Assign
ment Service maintains a constant
check ON physicians in local COM
munities. This service was. created
by the President of the United
States. 1t works in close coopera-
lion with the medical profession
which does not propose to allow any
apse in the high and hard-won
health standards of America.

When not receiving piano instruc-
tion from Miss Lenwood, pupils
were kept happily occupied with
the singing and dramatization

and her younger sisters, Lois and
Patsy, usually spent four mornings
week there. My sister had con-
sidered it fortunate that she had
been able to secure their enroll
ment by paying most of their tut
ton in milk and fresh vegetables
from the family garden. That alone
made it possible.
What did Miss Lenwood do to

again.
The answer was a louder out

Getting Back to the Woods

Up to the year 1900 most of the
construction of buildings was done
with lumber. And at that time
nearly al 1.-The fuel for stoves and
furnaces was wood
When Theodore Roosevelt was
President he called a Governors
Conference which learned to its
astonishment that $50 of the stand-
ing timber of the nation was vast
ed, or destroyed by forest fires.
Since that time the skyscrapers
have been built with steel, cement
and mortar.
This war government, including
its Army and Navy has built its war
machines without using very much
wood. Now all of a sudden, a year
after Pearl Harbor, Uncle Sam has
started to pep up the morale of
men who work in the Northwest
woods, as means of increasing lum-
ber production. Manpower in the
lumber regions has been regarded
of so little Importance that the
lumber packs were coaxed out of
the woods, and out of the sawmills,
and into the factories.
The men from the woods behaved
like fish out of water when they
began mixing up with factory work

Tommy's mother would agrel
that Daddy was right. but as soOI
as he was gone it was the same ole
story-threats to tell Daddy, decla.
rations that as soon as Daddy came
home just punishment would be in
| flicted, and. most of the time, fail
ure to say anything to Daddy about
it.
Tommy was not as forgetful as
his father seemed to think. He re-
membered most of the little naughty
things he had done. But most of all
he remembered that Mother didn't
do anything about them except say
that she would tell Daddy and that
Daddy seldom did anything about
them.
Correcting the faults of children
during their early days very often
saves severe punishment at the
hands of strangers later on. Par
ents make mistakes when they al
low undesirable conduct to go un-
noticed and when they promise
punishment and then fail to exc
cute it,
Tommy's mother did not have to
whip her son in order to correct
his behavior. There are many better
ways to punish. She could deprive
him of a picture show, or some
other definite pleasure, or confine
him to his room during the after
noon playtime. Whatever a parent
says or does-wise or unwise-it
will affect his child's character. So
much tactics as Tommy's mother
used are most regrettable.
Failing to tell the father after
she had declared she would do so,
would naturally cause Tommy to |
lose confidence in his mother. Wait
ing several weeks to make the re-
port would have a tendency to
'orce the child to take the entire
natter too lightly. Common sense
would teach a person that pun
shment would not be half as i'm

In general, the goals are aimed
at maintaining or exceeding the
record level of production attained

changes from the 1912 production
pattern which throw sharp en-
phasis on crops and livestock most
essential to the war effort.
