pies. And lastly. social experiences can be such, that added to the rel ative independence of gctt'..y about holding ones own in the world of the mind, the cripple from youth can achieve satisfying relations with friends, find a mate, and generally conduct his life on a grown-up level. NAME IMPOSES HANDICAP
 Most adults feel that they can remember a relatively happy, un- troubled childhood, with plenty Of activity and opportunity for self expression. If they cannot truth fully harbor such recollection. the nature of memory is such that un- plcasantness tends to fade, and joy remain. The limitations placed up- on activity and participation of the crippled child are very distressing for most people to visualize. By this very emotional appeal, the term crippled child imposes a handicap upon the human being who must bear 1t.
 There are several groups of de- formities, each demanding different treatment, all well known every where. The first category t concerned with congenital crip.

into a tavern and buying him a bottle of beer. He could hand down that sentence because a city ordi- nance forbits minors from entering taverns.
 Most fathers probably wouldn't buy a 17-year-old son a bottle of beer. Nor should they.
 Yet in some special instance, a father might have a good reason for doing so. He might know, for instance, that his boy was drinking with the other boys-maybe on the sly. If so, the father might figure that it would hn better to invite the boy in for a bottle of beer, and try to get out of his head the idea that he has to drink in order to show the fellows that he isn't tied to his family's apronstrings.
 Or the father of a boy within one year of draft age might think it wise to teach him before he goes into service that there is differ ence between a bottle of beer with some friendly conversation and go- ing out and getting drunk just to be able to brag about it the next day.
 DAD KNOWS BEST
 Those are ways in which some fathers might reason. And it does look as though a 17-year-old kid is better off having a bottle of beer with his own father than being out drinking with a gang of kids his own age.
 If we want to encourage parents to try to understand their adolescent kids and spend some time with them throwing them in jail for buying

- HONE FRO s(%l1 FORECAST = Here Are New Dates And Data On Ration Stamps
BY ANN STEVICK NEA Staff Correspondent

Washington, Aug. 20-The first brown stamp, Stamp "A" in Ration Book 3, becomes valid September 12. Stamps "X," "" and "z," the last red stamps in Book 2, expire on October 2. You will buy your meats, fats, oils and rationed dairy pro- ducts with brown stamps when you use up your red ones. From August g to October 2, you have Red Stamps "X", "" and "Z," and Brown Stamps "A" and B" to spend.
 Blue stamps "U", "V" and wv" in Book 1 become valid September l, and last through October 20. This makes six sets. "R" through w" good the first 20 da.s of September.
 An amendment to the home can ming point set-up will lower the value of a few items, the most im- portant being tomato juice and other tomato products. Farm wo- men. farmers markets, ladies' ex- changes will no longer have to col lect point values above the rate for commercial rroducts in any case. The standard point rate for home canned foods has been eight points per quart. In the few cases where this was above the point value of the commercial products. the a. mendment brings the home canned point-value down to meet the con- mercial point-value.
 Another maneuver in the com- plicated point-value strategy will double the print price of bulk froz- en fruit, in units of over 10 pounds. in order to hold 1t back for jam manufacturers. Later the manufac- turers will be given additional points to get the fruit.
 This is part of the War Food Ad- ministration campaign to make bread more alluring by having lots of jam available. WFA Is also urg- ing people to show their ingenuity by making bread spreads out of any wild berries or fruits that grow in their localities. Don't worry about the sugar: th> say It will be plenti- ful.

By WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY (America's Card Authority

A large proportion of the coun- try's outstanding bridge players are participating in the war and I re- ceive many interesting letters from them. Even between battles they manage to find time for game of bridge. George Kennedy, formerly of New York and now somewhere in North Africa, sent me today's hand. He said his Army training helped him to make this hand, because one of the important things is to cut the enemy's line of communication.

Crippled Child Can Become Useful And Happy Person

bling, such as clubfoot, wryneck and curvature of the spine A sec ond deals with deformities due tc injuries, where muscles, nerves and bones have been severely damaged Some deformities come from dis eases like the currently seasonal In- fantile Paralysis, chronic arthritis and tuberculosis of the bone. And real deformities may also be the re- suit of carrying the weight of the body improperly, as in weak feet and poor posture.
 Physiotherapy, surgery and braces are doing extraordinary things for reppled people. as the experience of both this and the last war have shown. The medi- cal profession, the governemnt public health services, groups of public spirited, philanthropic per sons who have formed foundations have all co-operated to give the entire public help in detecting malformation, and minimizing its effects. There are countless ex- cellent schools and institutions for the handicapped child, where edu- cation is geared to his individual condition.
 PSYCHOLOGICAL TREATMENT
 Handicapped child Is a term far more inclusive and accurate than that of crippled child. Looking up- on his handicap as a hurdle to be overcome, not merely endured with patience or looked upon with bitter ness, is the keystone of proper psy- chology in dealing with deformity.
 The fine example in public and private life of those who have suc- ceeded in conquering the obstacle of physical handicap can be perpetual inspiration to those who find it nec- essary to solve like problems. Enabl- ing these people to find niche in normal life should be the concern of everyone.

Vegetable Variations


 Variations on the vegetable theme are popular selections this summer. Not only do they offer new and ap- petizing ways to use the abundant supply of fresh vegetables from your garden, but many of them also give the opportunity for increasing the nutritional value of meals by dif- ferent food combinations.
 Vegetable souffles are frequently looked upon with awe when they arc served in some exclusive restau- rant They are not difficult to cre- ate however, and do serve to boost the food value of meal by vir- tue of the milk and eggs that go into them. Many vegetables are de- licious served as Souffles-carrots. beets, asparagus, broccoli, to name a few. You might also try a blend of several chopped or mashed fresh vegetables.
 Since the fresh corn supply is mounting every day, you are prob ably serving it often. Although corn on the cob is undoubtedly first chaice, there are many other ways to prepare this summer favorite. "SoutheIn Corn Custard" is a sub- stantial dish.
