LEARNING TO DRESS is one of
the vays in which children can very
early learn self dependence. II you
doubt the wisdom Of early training
in dressing, conjure up the picture
you've seen of children 8 or 10, or
even older. who are still dependent
on their mothers to help them
with their dressing, find their
clothes, and so forth, in q mad
dash to get ready for school. It's
SO worth the time 1t takes to plan
carefully in training your child to
be self-reliant! Children Will some
times accept, or even demand, az
home, help that they get along
without very well at school.

Gently for cookies using a COM

housewives did something about the
sugar situation.
A recent publication of the United
States Department OF Agriculture
states that 48 pounds OF sugar per
person in the United States mas
been allotted this past year to COM
mercial firms, for candy, soft DRINKS
cakes and cake mixtures, etc., while
rs pounds per person had been al
lotted for home use.
Any one can see that this is not
fair rationing-in fact, is not ration
ing at all. We do not wish to inter-
fere with legitimate business, put
one has only to look at the iapeis
on the hundreds of new candy bars
and other products containing sugar
to see something of the number OF
new firms that have sprung up, all
of which get sugar in large guam
titles.
Perhaps we housewives OF the Ma
ton should have a union SO tnat
we could hire lobbyists to look after
our interests. When we can buy
pounds of these commercial prod
ucts every day if we wish to, or can
afford to, but cannot have the sugar
to make a reasonable amount AZ
home, there is something wrong.
If you agree with these senti-
ments, why not write some Con-
gressmen, or even clip this and send
it to a Congressman?
