accurate Is B. Jay Becker, former

criticizing his partner on the de-

he could have beaten Il himself.

velopment Of nerves and muscles be-
fore he can actually talk. The
final process Of making his pre-
speech bahblings utterances Of
meaning involves the psychic cen-
tiers around the cortex Of the
brain. The normal development Of
speech Is dependent upon a func-
tionalyy integrated central nervous
system, good mechanism Of
hearing and the surround struc-
lures concerned with speech, such
as the anatomical equipment Of res
piration, resonance, vocalizing, and
articulating.
LADIES FIRST
Popular observations that girl
babies begin the garrulity for
which their sex Is noted before
boys Is Suhstantiated by scientific
inquiry. As the embryo evolves
into the new born child, certain
changes occur whereby the nerves
become covered with coat O
process known as Yt1yelinization.
The maturity Of this process comes
about month earlier in girls than
in boys, and thus slightly speeds
UP the growth Of the Sensory,
motor; and associational nervous
equipment. In every other re-
spect, the development Of the
speech process Is identical be-
tween the two seveS and must, Of
course, be promoted by an environ.
ment thaht does not answer all the
child'S wants, so that he has no
need or deStire to talk.
The latest normal age for the
appearance Of speech In o child ID
about two-and-a-half years. The
child normal in all departments
mentioned above will learn to
speak with about the same legree
Of ease as he learns to eat. Some
times, however, o child who ape
pears normal in every other way
does not begin speech, and the
problem Is brought to the atten-
ton Of O physician.
I. @. GUAGE
There are several possibilities
in such cases Of speech delay
The first Is plainly that hof re-
tarded mentality. Generally speak,
ing, those Of low intelligence level
tend to greater speech difficulty
than those Of normal or high In
telligence, though muteneSs may
occur In the latter, also. 1t Is very
hard to guage the mental develop.
ment Of q very young child, and
frequently q psychological testing
must be augmented by lengthy OBJ
servation. The matter Is the
most difficult of diagnosis.
The second angle to be consid-
cred is the state Of the hearoine
apparatus. Obviously, the ability
to hear is the indispensable sense
as far as speech Is concerned.
Tests here are ingenious and ac-
curate enough, but are somewhat
limited by the oegree Of co-cpera-
ton that must be given by the child
The third possibility in failure
to talk is that Of psychological or
environmental check. Conflicts and
emotional attitudes may keep a
child from speech, as hysteria af-
fects adults.

MILK CONSERVATION


What does the War Food Admin
istration order number 10 mean 70
your You have read that this order
deals with conservation and distTi-
button Of fluid milk and cream, but
how will It effect you Is an individ-
ual, os as o family?
This order Is an effort TO main.
tain production Of manufactured
dairy products, evaporated milk, but
ter, cheese, and dry milk, at levels
sufficient to supply essential civil
Han and wartime needs. It Is &C.
tually a form Of rationing among
dealers. II this type Of rationing
does not succeed, consumer ration.
ing Of fluid milk will be necessary
In many areas. In other words, II
behooves every person concerned to
give this order full cooperation II
you don't want individual rationing
Of such q Punishable product.
Some form Of conservation Is nee.
essary. Although milk production
has kept UP remarkably well, the
demand outweighs the supply. We
are confronted not only with Lend
Lease and military needs but now
increased incomes o. many conSum-
ers step up our demands on the
home front. Certainly nutrition ed
ucators see the results Of their
teachings.
In simple terms this method Of
milk conservation means that your
milkman will be able to supply you
with the amount Of milk you were
receiving In June and rs percent Of
the amount Of cream you were buy
Ing that same month.
What about restaurants, stores
army camps, ct cetera? Army camps
and schools, except high schools,
are exempted. After their needs are
supplied the government feels that
the firstob legation Is to the home.
So II the continued increase in pop
ulation in Connecticut causes more
demands for home customers than
the dealer can supply within his
quota, he will have no choice but
to cut down deliveries to public eat
ing places and stores to make more
milk available for homes.
Although no milk produced In Con-
necticut will actually be manufac-
tured into dairy products, this order
will allow the large quantities Of
milk and cream now being shipped
into the state to be converted into
the needed dairy products.
The most important subject in
the world today Is food. People are
coming to o truer radiation Of Sec
rotary Of Agriculture, Wickard's
words, food win win the war and
write the pace" as each step Of
the food conservation program Il
taken. Since dairy products contri-
butte to materially to the hal n and
well being OF ell people, It Is imper-
alive that this milk conservation
order Is understood and appreciated
to the point Of cooperation.

EXPECTANT SERVICE MOTHERS LEARN
CHILD CARE IN "1EIR CORPS" CLUBS
BY CAROL herman
NEA Staff Writer

New York-Mrs. Johnny Dough-
boy has followed her husband from
post TO post as he was transferred
about the country. Now she Is
living at an Army camp, many
miles from home and mother, ex-
poets her first baby, and doesn't
know how to take care Of him after
he arrives. What to do2
Why, join the Heir Corps Club, ="
courtesy Of USO and the national
Y. w. O. A. Looking after such Mrs.
Johnny Doughhoys is one Of USO's
important, but little known func-
lions, points out Ruth Buckwalter,
assistant regional supervisor for
USO clubs operated by the Y. w.
O. A. The "Heir Corps Clubs" Tor
"Stork Clubs" as some call theIn)
she says, give the girls q chance
to do something constructive about
their situation"
THE girls who were expecting
babies" she continued, "just sort
Of got together to make layettes,
sew baby clothes and discuss their
common problems. Then we help
ed by getting doctors, nurses and
public health officials to talk to
them. To take care Of the new
mothers, we developed q home
nursing corps, composed partly Of
girls who had their babies. months
before, and partly Of volunteers
who wanted experience"
Miss Buckwalter pointed out that
the Heir Corps Club idea is Just
one Of many projects for the wives
Of servicemen, and emphasized that
although many people think USO
Is concerned only with men in the
services, 1t Is just as interested in
helping their wives, women in uni
form, and the girls who have Civil
Service appointments in Army
camps-the typists, clerical workers
and dental hygienlstS.
One Of the main "chinup" tech
niques IS getting jobs for the girls
who want them-and It's no easy
task. In more than one town bust
ness men will not hire the wife Of
q serviceman. One local USO d.
rector finally hit on the idea Of
having the girls do volunteer work.
In that way, community people got
to know the war wives. recognized
their ability and soon hired them.
Whether it's speaking Spanish
or reducing, If the women want to
learn 1t, arrangements are made.
Since most Of the girls are home
bodies at heart, cooking and sewing
are the most popular activities.
