German Pigs Invade
Switzerland

SCHAFFHAUSEN, switzerland
P)-Switzerland is fighting des-
perately against a German inva-
sion.
The invaders are wild pigs.
HOrdes of wild pigs from the
Black Forest are fleeing from the
attacks of hungry Germans and
crossing Switzerland's northern
frontier.
Swiss farmers complain that in
the agricultural districts of the
canton of Schaffhausen, north of
the Rhine River, the German pigs
have done inCalculable damage to
crops.
Since meat is not ratiOned in
Switzerland, the tOwnspeOple have
little incentive to roam the hills in

search of edible wild pork. Apart
from occasional hunting expedi-
tiOns organized by the local far
mers, the German invaders have
found Switzerland a haven of ref
uge and have shown no desire to
return to their native pastures.
Demands for vigorous Swiss ac-
tiOn to wipe out the invaders are
being made by rural communities
in the canton of Schaffhausen. The

question even threatens to become
a political issue in the cantonal
assembly of Schaffhausen, where.
non-gOvernment deputies are ac-
cusing the cantOnal government Of
negligence in protecting Swiss
territory against the pig-invasiOn.
The government claims, on the
other hand, that all possible mea-
sures have been taken.

teacher calmly watches and yet
does nothing to interfere. Within
two minutes Arthur and Ann are
happily playing train again; Ar
thur has the choo-choo and Ann,
despite her sex, seems to be chief
construction worker on the new
railroad track. The explanation
is simple. At last Arthur is be-
ginning to defend his rights. He
needs to squabble sometimes in
order to learn how to share.
Says DR.. Dave: Small chill
dren's ~quarrels are usually brief
affairs, and if an adult steps in
too often the children are not
learning through their own ex-
perience but are merely submit
ting to adult dictation and con-
troll. To be sure, the adult does
have to step in at times. B
when small children have oppor-
tunities to play with others their
own age, they teach each other
how to share, how to follow, how
to lead in an acceptable manner.
Their play becomes education in
growing up socially.

erect; he will move with precision
and ease" DR.. Dave says.
Then, there is Dora. The nur-
sery school playground is filled
with action and sound, yet Dora
has no part in it. Though she will
be four years old in a few weeks,
she comes down the porch steps
one foot at a time. She watches
the children on the smallest tee
ter totter but is afraid to join
them. She won't play in the sand
box, and she certainly won't sail
boats in the big tub because she
might splash her ruffly silk
dress. Poor unhappy, timid Dora.
She has been told time and time
again by an anxious and ever
watchful mother, BE careful or
you'll fall" Look out; you might
get hurt" and Don't play there;
you'll get dirty"

"By providing good play equip
ment, by respecting children's
play, by understanding how it
can contribute to their knowledge
their skills, and their social and
emotional satisfactions, and above
all by watching their play for
clues to their needs, we can =
indeed we must - help every
child to grow straight and strong
in body and in mind" concludes
DR.. Dave.
There are few things children
like better than parties, provided
they are properly planned and
executed. To help the parent who
wants to run successful parties.
Hart Publishing Company has
just issued two inexpensive books
($1.50 each) called "A Treasury
of Parties for Little Children,
Age 3 to g." and "a Treasury of
Parties for Boys and Girls, age
7 to H." Both are authored by
Judith and Caroline Horowitz,
and provide many useful and
helpful hints on how to plan the
right party for your children.

there was no special reason for de.
