Amusing as a child's questions
sometimes seem, they also suggest
what an opportunity his interest
affords us to add to his information
and enrich his mind. There is a
remarkable difference at years OF

be misinformed. Instead of waiting
for child to bring up matters
about which he will soon need in
formation, it should be the aim Of
parents to equip him with whatever
facts and appropriate attitudes he
is going to need. 1t Is up to parents
to see that their own attitudes about
sex are normal and healthy We
give up old-fashioned and dangerous
methods of punishment; why cling
to or pass on to child attitudes
of shame or prudery that are just
as harmful to him?
A little childs curiosity is usually
very easily satisfied. All that is
necessary is to answer his question
of the moment in casual and un-
emotional manner. What a child
really wants is to feel that his pa
rents can be relied upon.
OF course, it is difficult to give
anything like an adequate answer
to a child who wants to know what
happens when person dies. Here
is one of the occasions when the
mothers admission that she doesn't
know the whole answer is not only
permissible but desirable. A child
| feels a little more comfortable when
he realizes that here is something
so big that not even his very wise
mother understands it.
| One OF the half truths that should
be avoided is telling a child that
dying is ''just like going to sleep.
To tell child that he will 60 "ur
into Heaven" when he dies is not
much more comforting, for to a
very young child the idea of going
to far-away place and being separ-
ated from his parents is almost
unbearabfe. 1t is more sensible to
point out that he is not at all likely
to die, that nowadays children are
given such good care that they dc
not need to worry about dying.
| If an older person dies, the child
may be told that the person was
content to leave. If playmate dies
it may help to express the belief
that such child is with a loved
person who has passed on. The
idea of being with God is a very
vague one to a child's mind, which
deals only on things he can see OF
touch. The death of pei although
hard for the child, may be of value
in that he learns of the inevitability
of death through a milder sorrow
than he would feel at the death OF
q loved one.
1t Is not so much what is told
a child as how it is done. A little
child has such faith in his parents
that he is ready to accept with
comfort what he feels they believe

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josebhine Lo,0man

How do men get that way?"
asked woman not long ago.
What way?" I queried.
$50 they expect woman to be
beautiful and attractive, to remain
youthful and slim, to have shining
hair, smooth the waters while they
throw their temperaments about
and be eternally interested in them"
Well, I guess they got that way
because. for a long time, life was
pretty dull for a woman unless she
captured one of them. She could
not do interesting things in the
business or professional world, nor
could she nor does she now, ask
men for dates. She must sit at home
until some wonderful male asks her
out.
Underneath all that Is the fact
that a woman is essentially mother
and wife. Many successful profess
sional women who lead exciting lives
feel this loss at, times. Even If
present day standards were changed
to more sensible and a fairer sys-
tenn, I do not believe that it would
work.
The masculine psychology is such
that he must be the aggressor. I
do not know who or what started
this; whether hundreds of years of
experience and conditioning. or
more likely necessity, or whether
this attitude is just inherent in the
masculine breast.
At any rate. woman derives great
advantages from this outlook. The
freedom man enjoys carries penal
ties with it. He is essentially the
protector and provider even though
his wife is capable of making money
herself. The responsibility for the
safety and provision of his family re-
main his, under all circumstances.
The woman who does not recognize
and appreciate this is aligning her
self against mighty psychological
antagonists which may well affect
her happiness.
However, it does seem little un-
fair that men take advantage of
the situation. Women like trim
waistline in the opposite sex just
as we'll as men do, and they can do
without fallen arches, bay windows,
straggly hair and poor grooming in
the men they love, or like, very well,
indeed, thank you. Many women
also resent the fact that their hus-
bands are working themselves to
death, with little thought to health
and longevity.
So how about a new resolution?
How about small amount Of reno
vation and redecoration for the little
woman's benefit? The following are
few exercises which will be help
full to any man in sound health.
l.. Lie on your back with your
arms on the floor overhead, legs
straight. Lift the torso, arms and
legs from the floor at the same time.
Touch the fingers to the legs. Re-
turn trunk and arms and legs to the
floor simultaneously.
| 2. Stand erect, feet separated.
Raise the arms sideways, shoulder
height. Twist the torso so that you
can touch the right hand to the
left foot. Raise trunk. Now try to
touch the left hand to the right foot
Twist before you bend. Keep the
knees stiff, and If you cannot go all
the way down, reach as far as you
can in that direction.
