The Rural Child Pattern
For A Happy, Healthy Life
Report OF Mrs. Donald F. Roberts, President Of
The HOmemakers Council To The Federation
Of WOmen's Clubs OF The County

Psychologists say that child's
environment conditions his whole
life's development. What is the en-
vironment of our rural child in
Montgomery County? specifical-
ly, the rural child whose mother
belongs to one of the "A Home
makers Clubs, sponsored by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
and the University of Maryland
Extension Service?
"The Montgomery County rural
home is often a large, sturdy
structure surrounded by rolling
fields and pastures. Possibly with
out all the comforts of central
heating and> instantaneous hot
water, it, nevertheless, is a secure
place, often lived in by the same
family for more than century.
And the family group is sizeable
: with larger families than one
usually finds in nearby suburban
homes. Often several generations
live together, so that children
know how 10 fit themselves into
family group. The children work
and play within the group. The
father is always nearby to guide
the boys work. All of the children
lean on the security of father and
mother being on call. The children
understand the economic set-up of
the family unit. They share the joy
of a bumper crop and the belt
Tightening of a crop failure. The
child himself may feel the econo-
mic depression of losing a prize
calf of his own. The children are
not, and cannot, be the center of
attention in a busy, well run fami-
ly group.
"Now, who organizes this fami-
ly unit? The mother, the home
maker. She oftens plants, tends
and harvests the vegetable garden.
She always processes it into jars
or cans for ort-of-season use. She
fits the home to the family,s needs
of work and recreation; sees that
proper lighting is, installed gets
rid of the "pie-tail" light hanging
from the parlor ceiling and buys
nationally approved lamps so the

filled with far greater variety
of foods than town housekeeper
would provide : and the nutritional
standards are very high. With
newly acquired knowledge of how
to serve buffet meal, the rural
homemaker appreciates the fun of
enjoying her own party.
"Much can be said for the rural
child's demands that his, or pro-
badly her, mother make the home
like the other children's! With the
consolidated schools, town and ru-
raj friendships always spring up.
And the rural youth can, and does,
entertain a town friend with ease.
"The religious aspect of local
rural life is sound and steady, with
the nearby church the center of
social life and culture. The "sing-
ing societies" in the County have
grown from this. To live up to the
neiphborhoOd standard a r,1ral
family must go to church, and
"grace" is usually said at table.
The trust and love of God flows
around these rural children and
they sense it in the air they
breathe.

the family pattern, and is / be-

New Safety Air Fuel Puts Out Lighted Match
 (Science Service)

(Sclence SerVlce)
 new safety fuel for aircraft so resistant to acc- dental ignition that lighted match can be dropped into it without causing fire has been perfected It has all the power of 100 octane fuel, extended tests in high powered airplane engine show.
 The new safety fuel development of the Standard Oil Company of N. J.
 The safety feature of the fuel is due to the fact that it does not form nfammabe vapors in the air in great enough quantities to ignite, unless it is at tenn peratures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit Ordinary mo- tor and aircraft gasolines do and they ignite readily and burn rapidly because of the vapors formed.
 The fuel, however, must be fed into the engine by direct injection rather than by ordinary carburetion such as is used with conventional gasones Unless suit able carburetors developed, engines now in use will have to be converted for fuel injection if the new fuel to be used After the fuel is injected in the cylinder it is vaporzed by the heat developed during compress sion. The fuel mixture is fired by the conventional spark plug.
 A failure now and then won't harm you, unless you start blaming it on some other fellow.

 The Senate Finance Committee is considering ten tave plan to give war veterans breather for year or two by exenptng of their civilian income just as thev were allowed $1, 800 military exemption while in uniform In effect, that military exemption gave the average enlisted man in uniform complete nm .ounitv from Federal income tax if he had no income other than service pay.
 Undoubtedly there is something to be said for tnan ;a assistance of this sort for veterans good many served at monetary sacrifice, although of course others were financially better off than they would have een in civilian life Many veterans will need help for the first year or wo they are buying homes or start ;no small businesses or reestabshng themselves in the medical or legal professions for example
