Under the increase schedule, resi-

will be assessed $3.50 to $500 a

Spokesman for the community

!" BABY-

Frequently, the first problem
which new parents encounter is
Baby's crying. There are always
friends and relatives who warn
against picking up the Baby when
he cries = on the theory that pick
ing him up will spoil" him. These
we'll -meaning individuals do rot
realize Baby's need for comfort
and security the Importance OF
the mediterranean" relationship.
Of course, every baby should cry
little each day - it develops the
lungs and helps breathing. But
psychiatrists warn against allow
ing Baby to cry for more than five
minutes - because this is apt to
cause tension and exhaustion. One
Of the foremost reasons why Baby
cries is hunger. And +. :. if he is
allowed to cry too long, it will only
make him hungrier - or else too
exhausted to take his food. Quite
often this indication Of hunger
means that Baby is ready for more
than just his milk or formula
and the addition of special Baby
Food will satisfy him. One OF the
first foods given Baby is cereal,
and there are three special strained,
prepared Baby Cereals available =.
each containing added Iron and the
"B" vitamins babies need for
growth and development. Serve
all three cereals to your Baby -
you'll find he likes variety in his
diet, too!
Baby Quiz
How long should it take Baby to
eat his meal?
Give your Baby plenty of time
to enjoy his food, but not enough
time to dawdle. Usually 20 to 80
minutes Is sufficient.
