BABY

By Lillian b. Storms
How thick should the first solid
foods be?
Usually the first solid food given
la baby is one of the special baby
cereals. These are thoroughly cook
led and need only to have warm
milk or formula added. For the
first serving Of a cereal, dilute it
with enough milk to give an almost
liquid consistency. It is thus more
nearly like the milk he has become
accustomed to.
After several feelings of very
thin cereal have been fed and
baby seems to be familiar with the
new food, gradually increase the
proportion of cereal and reduce the
milk, making it thicker.
Cereals are usually fed with a
spoon. If the spoon has been pre-
viously used to give him water,
orange juice and cod liver oil, it is
no longer strange to him. q
Of course, it is easier to feed
thick cereal because it is less apt
to be spilled. The baby may blow
thin cereal out Of the spoon either
Intentionally or accidentally. Or
\ the spoon may be hit with a hand
which is aimlessly waving around,
or unconsciously he may be trying
to help to feed himself. Prepare for
| spills, but don't try to give him a
thick cereal at first. He has to
learn to eat solid foods by expe-
rience.
The first strained vegetables may
be diluted with milk or formula.
A good rule to remember is that
you are not trying to make your
baby eat, you are letting him eat.
Remember, too, that the first
year of life is full of new expe-
riences and there are a multitude
Of things to learn. Don't try too
hard to teach him, let him learn.

soap to make suds about two inches
thick. Too much or too little soap
does not wash satisfactorily. II the
suds thin out in washing, more soap

A Good Suggestion

A Good Suggestion
This came in the mail. We pass 1t
on to you. 1t refers to the RR item
of last Friday which was written by
an El Centro woman who had had
a bad time with three different ma
rine couples.
When three trials at getting
alcng with marine couples failed,
would get an inferiority complex! 1t
is time Americans became consid-
crate of the privileges of being an
Americanl One for all and all for
one Isn't that the American idea?
1t is not only our drty but our
privilege to take these young cou-
piles into our hcmes. After all, it is
these young marines who are fight
ing for OUR HOMES! They have to
go into new places, unknown, and
crowd perhaps whole lifetime into
a few weeks or months in room.
Of they can find one.) Why confine
them to a room? Are you so much
better than they? No wonder that
one poor girl stayed in bed all day,
net much fun wandering around in
small room. Open up your house
Let them have their friends over!
Treat them as part of your family
and they will act as member OF
the family. Give them a few con-
siderations and privileges and they
will be considerate of you, too.
"Of course, I know that some
people wouldn't fit into some homes.
But there are all types of people in
Fl Centre just as there are all types
of marine couples. Just be little
smart in choosing the ones you
wish to live with you. They can't
all be mal-adjusted.
Il feel SO strongly about this
housing situation I couldn't help
writing this letter. Recently I rented
room in my home. I received re-
quests from at least 20 couples
Some who applied had children;
some were living in cars. and cne
couple was living in chicken coop
Just imagine Suppose that was
your daughter or son I wanted to
take them all in, almost all of them
had been separated one, two or
three years. The couple I have il
awfully nice. In fact, they beth are
just lovely.
Il rented them room but told
them they would share the whole
house. They cook in my kitchen,
wash in my laundry, have all the
guests they want. and use anything
of mine they wish. Who can meas
ure the value of THINGS when two
young people are happy? But, it
isn't all take and nc give. The ma
rine's wife helps me keep the house
nice (after all, it is half hers, and
she wants it to look nice, too. We
do our dishes together. When l
want to go shopping she takes care
of my little boy, and we have SO
much fun being family instead

BITTER OPPOSITION
Far to the north other American
troops were running into their bit
terest opposition since the Luzon
invasion began % days ago. Fan
ming out northeast and east from
their Lingayen gulf beachheads, the
Americans were threatening the
entire Baguio area where the bulk
OF the enemy's island garrison was
believed concentrated, and the
japanese reacted savagely
Reinforced enemy tank and in
fantry units counter-attacked three
times against the American spear
heads over the weekend and were
routed with serious losses after a
touch-and-go battle.
The Japanese tried their biggest
counter blow shortly after midnight
Saturday night around San Man
uel, "a miles south of Baguio and
18 miles inland from Lingayen gulf.
Elements of the Japanese second
armored division spearheaded the
attack, striking into positions held
by the U. S. 25th division with
fury that overran the Americans
forward lines before it was halted.
At dawn, the doughboys rallied and
counter attacked, finally wiping out
the entire enemy force and clearing
the whole San Manuel area.
ENEMY LOSSES
General Douglas MacArthur's
communiue said 789 enemy dead
were counted in the area, with
many more bodies still to be tailed,
while at least 49 Japanese tanks
were known to have been knocked
out.
The losses raised the Japanese
casualties since the start of the
Luzon campaign to more than 25,-
600 men and 103 tanks-perhaps
third of their armor on the island
and certainly a large part of their
garrison. American losses in the
same three-week period totaled
1854, including 1017 killed, 1877 miss
ing and 3040 wounded.
San Quintin, II miles southeast
of San Manuel, also was taken by
the Americans in a supporting
thrust that carried almost 80 miles
inland to the foothills of the Cara
ballo mountains.

This Joint committee would be re-

annual bill which would in effect
add up all sectors of the national
economy, private as we'll as govern

policy for dealing with the coun-
