COMMENTS.

From Mrs. r. L. G., Washington
The letter from Mrs. II. j. W.,
published short time ago, is one
of the most delightful and altogether
encouraging pieces I have read in
q long time. I hope it will spur
many, many people on to give ad-
ditional amounts to the Community
Chest.
I would like to urge our readers.
also, not to let down in their efforts
to assist the cold and hungry people
of Europe, now facing another bleak
Christmas. We adopted" some OF
these needy families, and believe
me, there is no experience carrying
a greater sense of fulfilment. As in
our Community Chester any work
of charity-the pathetic gratitude
of these people makes one feel very
humble, indeed. These people have
recently suffered from lack of the
help they have been receiving from
individuals in the States, due to
the maritime strikes. Despite
UNRRA and CARE, and other Or
ganized relief measures, great need
continues to exist. For one thing,
many persons and families are SIM
ply unable to contact the relief
agencies-they lack. the necessary
clothing and strene eth and energy
to reach the relief headquarters.
A letter just received from France
says, "All of France is sick" From
London, a mother writes that she
is kept busy answering the ques-
tions of her six-year-old son, who
was amazed to discover that there
is a country where people have SO
much to eat that they can send
some of it to other people"

may be told that he need not go to
sleep, but may rest. Such child
sometimes falls asleep, once he is
relieved of the necessity of proving
that he does not want to. If, after
three-quarters of an hour or an
hour of quiet with a book or toy
for quiet play he has not fallen
asleep, he should be allowed to get
up. Being alone will have rested him
a good deal.
Some children fight sleep for fear
Of missing late afternoon fun. A
promise to wake them at certain
hour should dispose of this fear
Anyhow, it is better for the child
to lose an occasional nap than to
have battles and tense situations
over sleep.
If regular hours have always been
adhered to, and going to bed has
always been made pleasant routine
by being associated with conversa-
ton, stories, or music, it will be
accepted. Giving q child few mo-
ments' notice before bedtime so that
he can wind up what he is doing is
. great help. In many families
young children are fed and put to
bed before their parents eat: but
the hour for going to bed will de-
pend on the family routine. 1t
should be remembered, too. that
children should have some time to
be with their father.

with never any excess funds, but we
have managed to build great deal
of contentment and happiness for
ourselves since this time last year
by the expenditure of little money
and time and effort. And this will
prove a greater investment than we,
in this generation, may realize.
From our correspondence with these
families, it is perfectly clear that
the average person. anywhere, just
wants freedom to make an honest
living, to enjoy opportunity, and
achieve security. And we, in Amer
lea, who help them in our small
ways, have everything to gain and
nothing to lose.
| We have found that good way
to finance such an activity is to keep
small change bank 1--WE keep ours
on the kitchen window-silD, into
which the various working members
of the family may drop coins to
cover the cost of mailing. Right now,
we are interested in obtaining good
used clothing for group presently
engaged in forwarding them over
seas. Sweaters, which have actual
holes worn in them, are very accept
able, as we unravel the yarn, roll
it into balls and send them on their
way. Any one interested in assisting
in this work may contact us at

I would like to have some infor-
nation on another subject. Some
time ago, I read in this column a
request for used Christmas cards
for certain war veterans. Is it pos
sible that I have received wrong

to me to be no good reason for any
man, who went out and fought for
his country, to return to this land

In order to grow and develop
well, children require an abundance
of SLEEP AND REST. The younger
child is, the faster he is growing
and the greater are his sleep needs.
The establishment of regular
hours for sleep and rest contributes
greatly to q child's well-being. For
Young children some sleep during
the day is preferable to having all
the sleep come at night. Even after
a child no longer maps in the after
noon. he needs some time for quiet
relaxation In order to avoid being
overstimulated. The great majority
of children, however, continue to
nap at least occasionally until they
are between 4 and S. At S, the per-
centage Of those taking maps drops
considerably; however, mothers
might profitably include q rest pc
riod for children who have reached
the age of or and are in school
part or all Of the day. A child who
is new to the large group he min
giles with in the schoolroom is likely
to be so keyed UP by his school ex-
perience that he has very great
need Of planned rest at home.
Young children usually eat their
noon meal better II they have been
allowed Z few minutes to calm down
from play. In some cases, wash
ing up, taking on their clothes, and
50 forth, win be SUFFICIENT, but in
others actually lying down for or
10 minutes will be better. This Is
the practice carried out at nursery
school, after long experience.
II q child's nap Immediately and
invariably follows his noon meal, he
will 20 to bed more willingly than
il he Is sometimes allowed to play
around for half an hour or 80 after
ward. One Of the reasons for get
ting q child undressed for his nap
before his dinner is that he will
then be less tempted to run out
Of doors after he has eaten.
BY the time a baby Is year old
he has probably changed from two
maps to one day. This nap should
come whether he is year old or ~,
early enough in the day so that he
can have some time out Of doors
while there is still sunlight. The
length of the nap viii be shortened
greatly between the ages Of and
S, but the length of nighttime sleep
will hardly be changed at all; chill
dren usually sleep II to IL hours
at night throughout this period.
A child who Is outgrowing his nap
