ticism was concerned.
MY little 3-year-old daughter has
always picked up prevailing infec-
tions In the neighborhood tmeasles,
colds, etc. and passed it on to my
husband and me. Since We installed
this, germicidal lamp in the house.
we can only believe that 1t has been
responsible for ending her frequent
colds
One of her playmates, unknow-
ingly infected with chicken pox,
PLAYED with our daughter in our
home and I can again only believe
the germicidal lamp responsible Tor
her not developing it.
I have always had respiratory
weakness. being plagued each winter
with colds and infected sinuses, but
this winter has been wonderful for
me, like moving to another climate.
For the low cost of this precautlon
1t should be in all homes, schools
and wherever people congregate, as
suggested in The Star last Decem-
ber. With the dread polio season
Just around the corner, the lamp
gives me an added sense OF security.
SHOW BY TEEN-AGERS.
From Mrs. J. C. F., Falls Church,
For F. E. C. of Riverdale, who re-
quests help in planning Gay
Nineties" revue to be done by a
teen-age girls club. Costumes for
a show OF that era would be quite
expensive to make and the only sug-
gestion on that score would be for
the girls to stage an ''attic hunt
or borrow what they need from their
grandmothers' trunks. Scenery and
props for that era would also
present problem.
As this is a money making pur-
pose for a good cause, may tell
Mrs. F. E. C. about a show that
group of teen-agers are putting on
in our locality at the end OF this
month? Perhaps her group could DO
something along the same lines. Our
group are the junior members OF
our local little theater and they are
going to present a minstrel show.
Twenty-four girls make up the
chorus and there are eight boys
who are lend men" plus the inter
locutor.' They have written and
are directing their own show, con-
sisting of choral numbers inter
spersed with jokes and specially
song and dance numbers. The only
costume expense will be white work
gloves, red bandanas and black cot
ton stockings. The girls will wear
bright cotton dresses, the boys
dungarees and plaid shirts. Make
up will do the rest. The interlocu-
tor will wear a borrowed tuxedo.
The show will be done on the school
stage with no scenery.
It was real honor to be asked by
this group of youngsters to act as
their sponsor. I firmly believe that
If all youngsters were given more
opportunities to exhibit their tai
ents, to make and carry out their
own plans and ideas, they would not
have the time to get into trouble.
Time on their hands" and mo
place to go" combine to make the
so-called delinquent. I say so
called" because there is no such
thing as delinquent child. There
are only delinquent parents.
