In answer to Mrs. w. B. DIS prob
lem Of blanket pulling: She might
offer to the child something like q
fuzzy toy which could be pulled tc
the child's enjoyment rather than
running the blanket.
I think Mrs. R. H. will find that
modern psychiatry believes that q
child sucks its thumb because it
needs comfort from other disturbing
or nonsatisfying experiences such as
insufncient attention from the
mother. I might be well to look into
this before breaking" her child OF
sucking. I recommend, I'm Defense

Success Of Army Test
Not Yet Established

Ann Arbor, Jan. 4-AP- The
Army's' new method OF screening
out mentally and emotionally un-
stable draftees is functioning full
tilt, but the University of Michigan
psychiatrist who helped formulate
the so-called medical survey pro
gram for selective service says
its success still is conjectural.
The new system, inaugurated
last October, provides for a pre-
induction approach to draftee quol-
ifications through school and In
stitutional records and reports of
teachers and social service inves-
tigators, supplanting the old meth
cd OF guaging characteristics by
questioning at the time Of Undue
ton.
DR.. r. W. Waggoner, director OF
the neuropsychlatric institute and
chairman OF the psychiatric depart
ment at the University, was ap-
pointed psychiatric consultant TO
the selective service director last
July and was instrumental in set
ting up the mental testing system
now used in the draft.

provided for the Ypsilanti Garden
Club Monday evening al the regu-
lar meeting in Starkweather Hall
by Mrs. +. r. Isbell who displayed
part OF a most unusual collection
OF pewter which has been in her
family since the nth century. The
collection included variety Of
articles such as plates. tankards.
mugs and cooking utensils and
demonstrated the development OF
pewter articles through the cen
turtles from the very simple and
almost crude plates of an early
date 10 the highly ornamented
tankards OF a more recent time.
Mrs. Isbell stated that the col.
lection of pewter was a fairly re-
cent activity only having been done
in the past 80 years. She traced
a brief history Of pewter and said
that pewter is mentioned in the
Bible and has also been found in
Roman ruins in Britain which date
back to 300 A. ID. She told Of the
early use OF pewter as church yes
sells and traced its evolution into
articles made for domestic use.
Mrs. Isbell devoted part of her
talk 10 a description OF the Euro
pean Guilds and their attempts 20
keep the pewter industry 10 a high
standard of art and quality. She
stated that as there is no set for
mula for making pewter. there is
much variation in the content and
consequently in the quality. The
great charm OF pewter lies in its
simplicity Of form and design she
said.

the evening, had arranged a dis
