"a Measuring Rod for Parents"
was the topic OF an instructive
talk by Mrs. Belle Farley Murray.
lecturer and consultant in family
relations> from the University OF
Michigan and state board OF con.
troll for vocational education. I'VE
should try to understand children,
she said, and not to make com
parsons between the less satisfac-
tory and thu better students, espe-
cially within your own family or
with other children in the block.
The best way to understand our
children is to work with a group
of the same age"
The speaker cited several inst
ances illus rating the point that
growlng-up is primarily a realiza-
ton OF new independence. She
asked the question. when a child
is rebelious or going through the
negative stage, Ia he really rebel
ious against the ideas. or against
you? All children have a desire to
conform to what other children do.
II we insist that they do as we
want them TO. then at a later age
they will rebel against our way.
She advised prents to learn not TO
be disturbed with some OF the
minor faults. but TO leave their
correction for the crater wrongs
To let the children understand that
they do shine in their eyes and in
the opinion OF the family. She rec
commended that the family always
take time for the children and 10
have closer relation with them
and to put this relationship in the
center and not last on the list.
The measuring rod for parents,
she said. should be the measuring
rod for people. for the better peo-
pie. the better parents we make"
At noon. luncheon was served to

were attractively decorated with

Compost Heap From Fall Cleanup OF
Victory Garden

The compost pit, Of course. should
be located In an out-of-the-way
corner Of tbs Victory garden.
Leaves. turf, grass clippings.
vegetable matter, manure and
straw can go into the compost pit.
Sprinkle lime. bone meal. wood
ashes or some other fertilizer over
the compost from time to time, or
in layers. as illustrated. Turning
the pile from time TO time let's in
air and thus aids decomposition.
Be careful not to throw any dis
eased or insect-infested plant ma
terial, as illustrated. into the COM
post pit. since It offers excellent
breeding grounds.

OUT OF THE fall cleanup Of
the Victory garden should come a
compost heap or pit, II you do not
already have one. 1t will not only
serve to dispose Of the debris from
the garden. but will prove bene-
fetal as a soil builder when next
seasons gardening gets under
vay.
The construction OF a compost
pit Is shown In the accompanying
Garden Graph. Dig 1t three feet
by four feet and three feet deep.
Pile the compost with a hollow in
the center so as to form a basin
TO hold the rain, since standing
water is helpful to decomposition.
