WEST INDIES ISLE HAS ONE
Of OLDEST PARLIAMENTS

Establishment of a governors
cabinet in Barbados calls atten-
tion to the fact that this West
indies island has one of the Oldest
narliaments in the British Empire.
Unique among its neighbors for
its continuous loyalty to one flag,
Barbados celebrated the tercen-
tenary of its assembly in 1889,
recalls the National Geographic
Society. Only in London and Ber-
nouda are there older British leg
iyative bodies.
Barbados is the eastermost OF
the islands that separate the
Caribbean sea from the Atlantic
ocean. When the officers and
crew of a British ship landed in
1905, they claimed the island for
their king, James I. The first
English settlers arrived in 1876,
twenty years after the founding
of Jamestown, Virginia.
Because English customs, archl-
lecture, and characteristics were
brought to the island, Barbados
acquired the name of Little Eng
land" But its immigrants even
in the early days were not all
English. It became a land Of ex-
lie for Irish and Scots who had
become troublesome at home. The
Scots were attracted to the is
lands northeast region by its
Highlands appearance.

Pursue Disarmament

The question Of disarmament pro-
ceeded on its labrynthine course in
the United Nations.
AS struggle shaped over formu-
lation Of an atomic control meas
ure, the Russians asked the lima
ton security council to proceed full
steam ahead on disarmament with
out waiting for final action on nu-
clear energy. Declaring that dis
armament Is the most important
factor for strengthening peace and
security, the Reds called for an
agreement within three months at
the latest.
Meanwhile, the pesky question Of
the veto snagged deliberations on
control Of atomic energy. While
the United Nations atomic energy
commission approved Of the U. S.
plan and sent 1t to the security coun-
ell to be worked out, Russia ex-
pressed opposition to the provision
that no Big Five power be permit
ted to apply the veto to escape pun
ishment for violating regulations.
Since the Reds can use the veto In
shaping control in the council, how
ever, prolonged discussions doomed.

Many mothers are wondering if
1t is advisable to take their babies
along on vacation trips. Well, if
you follow your baby's usual sched-
ule, the trips will probably benefit
him as well as you and dad.
If you're planning a trip by auto,
it's q wise idea to arrange a bed
for the baby right IN the ear-on
the back seat, or If you have
q coupe a large pillow on the ledge
will do nicely.
Baby's feelings are no problem
at all -. in addition to milk which
you can buy as you travel (If you
use whole cows milk, be sure it Is
p~asteurized and in q sanitary con-
tainer), take a good supply Of pre-
pared baby foods with you. Before
feeding time, just place a can Of
strained meat or vegetable on the
floor at your feet, aud the heat
from the motor will waym it to just
the right temperature. .
: Be sure to take along several
varieties Of baby's strained canned
food -. infants enjoy q variation
Of food, too. That's one Of the
reasons why so many doctors are
recommending meat in baby's diet,
earlier now than ever before. Meat
introduces baby to an entirely Diff
ferent favor-and q different con-
sistency, too. And %. of course, in
addition, meat provides his diet
with a food rich in ptoteins, iron
and niacin-so necessary to his
proper growth and development
For older babies meat is available
in diced form. These meats are SO
tasty even mother and dad may use
them for a quick lunch. >
Ask your doctor about the new
specially prepared canned meats
available for babies -. prepared
according to doctors specifications,
and approved by the Amer,ean
Medical association. The strained
meats have been fed to even pre-
maturely born babies, but Of course.

just when to include them in . our

and lido all l can to satisfy him.
He provides we'll, but he isn't very
sociable to my company who has
been here a month. Tell me what
to do to bring about a change in
him?

around-he doesn't have the pri-
vacy he usually enjoys and it is
upsetting him. Get rid of your

your home life will be happy and
