Besides this, some authorities

Experimentally, handedness has
been changed, the success depend
ing on the presence of certain
factors. 1t seems hardly worth
the risk compared to the minor
disadvantages of remaining left
handed.
WHILE 1T IS common knowl-
edge that it is unwise to change
the child's handedness, one hears
over and over such things as, 'sMy
six month old Teddy is beginning
to prefer his left hand. What a
shame-such a handicap"
1t is this attitude of being
handicapped, different, always at
a disadvantage, which is much
more serious than the inconveni-
ence involved in being born with
a left hand dominance.
what a shame" so Teddy's
mother hands everything to his
right side. Babies learn very early
to understand the signs of par
entail approval and disapproval:
and when Teddy reaches with his
left hand for the zweiback which
his mother holds for the right,
he senses that this is not what
she wants of him. He feels her
disappointment.
Later his father suggests from
time to time;
TRY using your other hand to
throw Daddy the ball"
1t makes Teddy feel wrong and
insecure. On top of this, he hears
people say:
''Oh, Teddy is left-handed isn't
he?"
Their voices, to the child, mean
show different" or too bad"
ACTUALLY it is not too bad to
be southpaw unless the child is
made to feel so. When his hand
preference first appears it is wise
to stretch his toy toward his mid
die, and later to place his spoon
in the middle of his tray, so he
will have an equal choice to take
it with either hand.
Perhaps he will use his left
hand for a few weeks or months
and then change over to the right
1t is normal for shifts in hand
preference to occur, especially in
the first year of life. Sometimes
it is not until he is three or four
that the child will make his final
and lasting preference.
If this preference is for his left
hand he should be made to feel
that this is quite adj right with his
parents, and be given any help in
adjustment he needs.
In school he will be taught to
hold his paper and pencil cor
rectly when he learns to write in
order to do SO comfortably. Tools,
such as scissors, are designed and
can be bought for left-handed
Users. Most things in common
daily use, however, are suitable
for either hand.

BY Examiner S RULING
Against Denver Firm
BY the Assoeioisd Press


| A trial examiner for the National
Labor Relations Board held yester-
day that 3 Denver electrical con-
tracing firm comes under the Taft
Hartley Act because it receives
SIS, 900 worth of materials year
from outside Colorado.
Previously Federal Judge J. Foster
Symes at Denver had refused tc
grant an Injunction against certain
labor practices against the firm
Gould g. Preisner. The court held
that the dispute did not affect inter-
state commerce.
The case comes squarely in the
middle of a dispute between the five
man NLRB and its general counsel
Robert N. Denham.
/ Secondary Strike Rulings.
In testimony a month ago before
the Joint Congressional Committee
on acknowledgements Relations
Denham insisted the NLRB has a
legal duty to give the protection of
the new law to all businesses "af-
fecting" interstate commerce.
NLRB members told the same
committee, however, that because of
their heavy load of cases already
they "are not nearly SO anxious to
move that far into new fields" They
incline to the view that the smaller
disputes should be left to State labor
agencies to settle.
Having decided that Gould G
Preisner is subject to the Taft
Hartley Act in yesterdays case, Earl
S. Bellman, NLRB trial examiner,
ruled strikes against two other en-

Mr.. Bellman said Gould & Preis-
ner was non-union and strikes were
called against two contractors with
Gould & Preisner had sub-contracts
to force the electrical contractor to
accept the unions.
The examiner recommended that

Seats can thus be lowered to harmonic with

And how ebevi seeing room? Hudson's
new design reclaims space formerly taken up
by wheel housings and protruding tenders.
This is accomplished by placing rear seats
ahead of the rear wheels, in zone unre-
stricted by wheel housings. As result, rear
seats are Is inches wider in this car that is
only little more than four inches wider over
all. Both rear and front seats extend the
full width OF the body, giving Hudson the
roomiest seats in any American-nade car!
Hudson's use of the "step-down Zone and
unique seating arrangements are illustrated

HAVE HEALTHY
SAFE HOLIDAY
Accidental Deaths in Homes
Led All Other Causes in
1947; Precautions
ACCIDENTS IN DECEMBER

The State Board of Health joins
the Safety Council this week in
urging the public to have not only
a healthy holiday, but also a safe
one. Accidents don't happen, they
are caused, and unlike diseases, can
be prevented. In 1947, ac-
cidental deaths in the home led all
other causes of accidental deaths
both nationally and in Delaware.
The month of December, however,
during the past two years, proved
to be the worst accident month of
the year.
Last year, burns and motor We
hicle deaths reached their highest
peak during the Christmas month,
and deaths casued by falls in Dec
ember were second in number only
to January.
The Christmas season should be
a joyous time for everyone, and it
can be if people will take few
simple precautions. Christmas dec
orations can be a serious fire haz-
ard, and the Safety Council sug-
gests use of fiameproof materials
especially for parties held in clubs

Women who pack lunches have a
daily responsibility which at times
becomes one of the less interest
ing forms of food preparation. The
drabness of this procedure is due,
in part, to the limited types of
foods that can be carried, More
often it comes from the failure to
be willing to try new varities OF
these types of food or failure to use
those countless suggestions Carried
repeatedly by the magazines, news
papers, etc.
It may be that the lack of a
food chopper is making so many
dishes impossible. Good food chop
pers can be purchased at reason
able prices and they will pay for
themselves not only in the carried
lunches but in SO many meals serv-
ed at home.
