SUGGESTIONS.
(From Mrs. r. N. L., Alexandria,
For Mrs. M. A. H., Washington,
these suggestions may be helpful: I
l. A good home medical reference
book for schooI-age children is the
25-cent 'The Pocket Book of Baby
and Child Care" This has been rec
commended to me by several doctors
and pediatricians, and it has proved
its worth in use. The index is COM
prehensive, and the book is easy to
use. 1t doesn't take the place Of a
doctors care, but is as good home
reference as you can get.
2. Pamphlets, books, ETC., on music,
nature, child training, child psy-
chology, etc. The Association for
Childhood Education, 1900 Fifteenth
street NV, publishes many booklets
on all phases of childhood education
and training. None of them is free,
but you can get price list for the
asking. I have found them very
helpful.
I'd like to put in a special plug
for Parents Magazine and Better
Homes and Gardens. The former
publication is something no parent
worth her or his salt should be
without and the latter has an ex-
cellent child training department.
I read and study my copies re-
ligiously and file articles I want
to keep, referring to them often.
I also find many helpful articles in
the daily newspapers. Do you note
and heed Edyth Thomas Wallace's
illustrated DOS and Donts" for
parents in The Star? Many of
her articles have been published in
the book Points for Parents, :"
Crosby Publishing Co., Oklahoma
City, SO.
3. Good books for adult reading:
My favorite novel, bar none. is
Walk Humbly," which was writ
ten by Barbara B. Stevens. I rec
ommend it.highly. My copy, which
Is at least 10 years old, is tattered
and torn from re-reading. I also
recommend, as non-fction, David
H. Fink's Release From Nervous
Tension" Not only is this a gold
mine of what to do about nervous
seems to be uni
versal complaint-but the book is
most entertainingly written. Other
books I recommend are Louise
Bakers Party Line" and "Out on
a Limb" cher life as uniped),
both available in a single volume
from the Peoples Book Club, a.
subsidiary of Sears Roebuck; Mar
jorie Kinnan Rawlins "Cross Creek,
Katherine Butler Hathaway's "The
Little Locksmith," Betty MacDon-
AIDS Egg and L." all Of Lloyd c.
Douglas books, Ogden Nash's poems,
Barry Fleming's Colonel Efing-
hams Raid" John Gunther's In
side U. S. A." Rosemary Taylor's
Riding the Rainbow" and Chick
en- Every Sunday" Kathryn Forbes
"Mama's Bank Account"-to men,
ton only few.
Now here's the lead-on for an
other discussion question. What
are your hobbies? I don't mean
what do you do for pin money in
your spare time, but what do you
homemakers do as escape from
your household routine? Right
now my main relaxation is my
scrapbooks and my files of clipped
materials. My project at the pres
ent is mealtime economy, and I'm
having grand time hunting up
food economy tips, studying market
ads and seeing what I can do to
cut down our food bill.
