We|-Loved Children Make Most Progress

physical insideS were run on tn
same principle as the clock
But DR.. Ribble, through her stud
les. has found that those babies
who do not have consistent mother
ing grow up less we'll equipped for
later life than those who do. She
calls the separation of a mother
from her infant absolutely damag-
ing to the mental security OF a
child. And she thinks that working
mothers have no right to plan -
return to their jobs soon after the
baby is born.
1T is interesting to note, from
the close month to-month develop
ment of babies whose mothers are
emotionally detached or absorbed in
social, professional or artistic pur-
suits, that such babies are apt to
be retarded in either beginning 20
talk or beginning to walk or crawl.
They are slower than those children
whose mothers are not worrying
about their careers" observes DR..
Ribble.
She feels that the same holds
true for eating problems and other
disturbances of the digestive sys-
tenn. Babies whose mothers leave
them too early in life are apt to
sleep too little, and then grow up
to be Imperative children who are
not we'll focused or adjusted.
Then there are the modern young
mothers who start cut with a pas
sion for standardization, she points
out. They want to follow whatever
they have read in the most modern
book on child welfare. Well, this
is not right. In the first weeks Of
life, it is necessary for the mother
to give close attention to the rou-
tine which suits her baby. for 40
two babies are alike, and the books
are written along certain planned
line which doesn't take individual
cases into account enough.
ANY arbitrary attempts to set
up and maintain an artificial sched-
ule on any basis other than Spon-
taneous behavior, natural to the
healthy baby, will be damaging to
his development" DR.. Ribble warns.
Those mothers who must return
to work after their baby is born
will find 1t is better to start the
infant on a bottle right away, she
says, because nursing for the first
three months is only for nutrition,
while if the nursing keeps up after
that time, real mother-infant re-
lationship is built up. However, #
the infant starts out on the bottle
his relationship with his mother will
be the same after the mother re-
turns to work.

Even since Parl Harbor, rival
Hollywood film companies have
been bringing the dramatic head
lines of World War II to the screen.
Films based on the battle front
struggles at Guadalcanal, Bataan,
Wake Island and Africa have Wed
/ for recognition as "the" war pic
/ ture.
Now Hollywood is about to re-
lease a new kind of war picture.
The Sullivans," which tops them
! all.
Although based on a dramatic
headline of five brothers lost at
sea. the film is significant in its
deliberate failure to emerge as a
war" picture.
We saw THE Sullivans" the
other day. It's by far the best
of all pictures Hollywood has made
trying to explain just what we're
fighting for. In fact, it's more
than Just a headline transferred
/ to celluloid. 1t goes behind the
headline to typify the kind of AM
erican family that is sacrificing its
youth in this war.
Actually there are only 300 feet
CT battle footage-the sinking of
the cruiser Juneau off Guadalcanal
lasting only three and a half
minutes on the screen.
The boyhood and early youth of
the five Sullivan boys = scrapping,
growing up, studying, romancing
is the story of THE Sullivans.'
It's human, heart-warming COM
edy of family life, as American as
apple pie, as enjoyable as Fourth
of July picnic.
We were as pleasantly surprised
as the rest of Hollywood when we
saw the picture. We were afraid
the shadow of death over five
brothers would be an unSurmount-
able obstacle for Producer Sam
Jaffe and Director Lloyd Bacon.
But it isn't, thanks to script
probably inspired by the courage
with which Nom and Dad Sullivan
faced their tragic loss.
SHOOTING STORY
| knowing you'll WANT 10 see AHe
Sullivans," we're sure you'll be in
terested in the story behind the
story.
The picture opens with the
christening of the five Sullivan
boys. It's probably the cnly pic
ture ever filmed in which Is ac-
tors are needed to portray the
title role" Three sets of actors
were necessary to portray the boys
= one set of babies, one group
frcm to IA, and an older group
from 18 to %.
Despite the importance of their
roles, Director Bacon decided not
to seek recognized actors to rep
resent the older group. New faces,
