a dozen feet and a dozen hands as
we go from room to room, and to
the other ward where the girl bed
patients are. An hour of happiness
which CHEEKY woman can give
spells gain in health for these
little people, and 1t pulls at your
heart strings to see the look of Joy
when you put toy or a book in
their little hands.
So you do see why we need at
least two workers each day. We
wonder if some of our school
teachers would not volunteer to
come on Saturday? If four would
volunteer, each could take one
Saturday a month, for the story
part; and four more could initiate
the hand work. We feel that they
know SO many fascinating hand
crafts that we housewives do not
know. The ages Of the children are
from 3 to 12, but the average age
Is or 8.
Kind friends, including children,
have brought an abundance of
material with which to work, and
1t seems that one has only to men
tion a need to a church group, be-
fore 1t Is filled. If you have gifts to
bring, leave them in the Church
Women's Room, in the Medical
Building, before pm, and please
label where they are to CO.
whether to the Crippled Children's
Home, or to the pedriatrics wards
and also, please tell from whom
they come, that we many acknow-
ledge it. Picture books, bean dolls
color1ng books, very simple puzzles,
toys, blunt scissors, pencils, spools,
colored paper-all are welcome.
If you wish to offer your services,
please call Taylor $3.50, but not after
October l. After then, call Franklin
1900, and ask for the Church
Women's Room.

CHILD PROBLEM?
(From S. C. F., Washinqton.) .
I am wondering If any of the
other readers have had a problem
such as mine and, If so, I would
be deeply interested in knowing how
they solved it. I have a 6-year-old
child who awakens anywhere from
one to four times each night and
he will not go back to sleep unless
I stay in the room with him. How
ever, when he goes to bed at night
1t Is not necessary for me to stay
IN the room. am advised by the
doctor that he is physically sound
and that there is no apparent reason
why he should act in this fashion.
My child tells me that he awakens
due to frightening dreams and that
he cannot go back to sleep unless
I am with him. My doctor advises
me that under no circumstances
should he be allowed out of his
room when he does awaken but
since this situation has been going
on for approximately two years I
have on numerous occasions allowed
him in my room and there is then
no further trouble. The matter has
gotten so completely out of hand
that T will he rnnre than grateful
