PICTURE INTEREST
BY LUCIA MALLORY

Not long ago / gave six-year-old
boy a large envelope Of pictures which
| had collected as ! cleared out a
closet. | supposed he would take them
home and possibly make scrapbook
of them, but he said, Il will look them
over and choose those ! want" This
was new point of view, and | follow
ed him to the porch, TO see what he
would do.
He held each picture mp and studied
it. And as he did 50, he put all the
animals, the children playing together
and the trains and arplanes in one
pile. In another pile he placed the
pictures of mothers and Children faith
ers and boys, the Holy Night and
Madonnas. With regard to this latter
pile he said. Il don't want these" \
picture of the ocean had fallen upon
the floor, and | picked it up, You do
not care for this?" | asked. He looked
at it and said, Yes, / do. Put it with
my train pictures, please
Such discrimination was interesting
My own children at his age had loved
pictures of mothers and babies,
mothers and children and all kinds of
family pictures. They We're girls. Did
that make Il difference / wondered.
Perhaps the fact that the family ties
in his home were not especially strong
was the reason he did not care for
family pictures.
When each of my little daughters
began to notice pictures, | thumb
tackled Il beautiful Madonna on the
wall by the side of her crib Each
child grew to love her special picture,
generally looking at it the last thing
at night and the first thing in the
morning.
A little later I fastened a strip of
dark green burlap on the playroom
will and pinned pictures on ii. These
pictures | cut from magazines. Many
of them We're seasonal. Sometimes they
were action pictures and we talked to-
2ether about what the pictures We're
trying to tell us.
In the course of time when their
playmateS began coming to the house.
l pinned pictures upon screen and
placed it in the hall When the little
guests put on their coats and hats to
go home they would stand in front of
the screen and look at the pictures.
Sometimes they would talk about them.
In family where such things are
enjoyed the children will like acting
out the stories suggested by different
pictures. On rainy Saturday after
moons in our home the children gen
orally planned little entertainments,
and often some especially loved pic
ture would be played.
Later. picture ScraphOokS had their
attraction and / found the children
Disseminated as they made them. My
Youngest daughter searched everywhere
for pictures of cows and she saved her
pennies in order to buy them.
Good pictures can bring delight to
even the Youngest children. So let us
allow our boys and girls to have them
and to see pictures in art store win
dows occasionally, and, if we live
where it is possible let us not neglect
to take them to visit Art Museums.
The dividends in later years may be
quite worthwhile!

TO TEACH

To teach and yet not seem to preach
Is difficult indeed,
Yet rather than not teach at all
Let's preach to those in need
In need of true enlightenment
On subjects which we know
On subjects which they, too, should
know
If wiser they would grow.

Soldiers in Making

SYDNEY, Australia, March 1s-
United States troops on this Aus
tralian war front consider them
selves lucky to have a battle-ground
so far from home and yet so much
like their homeland.
They have blended into the Aus
tralian countryside and fitted into
its cities almost as smoothly as If
they had moved from Missouri to
Texas, from Ohio to Kansas or from
California to Georgia.
Quick to recognize American uni
forms, civilians have joined Aus
tralian soldiers in sparing no effort
to make these numerous and plain
talking newcomers feel at home.
Before the Washington announce
ment that the troops we're here Off
cially let the cat out of the bag,
the style of Australian hospitality
had been cramped. The biggest
story OF these peoples lives had
been breaking under their noses day
by day, but not a word appeared in
the newspapers, and they greeted
Americans with remarks like:
Hello, mister! Is it an official
secret, how you like it here?"
To Australians who have just seen
all the empire bastions to the north
collapse under assault in a military
setback rivaling the fall Of France
the presence of American troops has
given concrete assurance that this
country is not fighting alone.
In a public statement welcoming
the troops, Prime Minister Curtin
expressed his governments warm
est gratitude" and at the same time
told his people I'VE must be prepared
If necessary to fight on year after
year like China"

ernment agencies had spent nearly
s148,000,000 for travel in the last

orous demands IN the Senate for a
curb on "wasteful expenditures"
Il should say that three-fourths

ing wasted" said Senator Nickel
lar, ranking majority member of the
Appropriation Committee, and a
member of the Byrd Economy Com
mittee, who says Federal employees
"are travelling de luxe all over the
country
Senator Wheeler, Democrat of
Montana, chimed in to add that he
hoped travel appropriations for the
coming year would be "cut to the
bone"
Would End Agencies.
Furthermore, in my judgment" !"
he continued some agencies could
very we'll be eliminated entirely and
the Government and the people
would not miss them or know that
the laws under which they func-
toned had ever been on the statute
books"
Senator McKellar inserted in the
record an analysis that had been
made at his request by the Office OF
Government Reports. which now is
under fire because of the building

Senator McKellar told the Senate

the promptness with which Lowell
Mellett, head of the o. G.. R., had
assembled the report, and that he
also had called on him for infor-
nation as to publicity expenditures
and telephone and telegraph dis
burSementS.
Chairman George of the Finance
Committee declared that wartime
as we'll as non-defense expenditures
CT the Government should be pared.
He asserted. that I'VE can lose
