MY child is poor eater. Why?"
Whether over the bridge table or
the back fence, the problem of I
forming good food habits in child
ren often dominates Mothers con-
versation.
No single formula will solve the
problem. Appetite cannot be
bought nor forced. However, many
simple ways of everyday living can
and will help children enjoy eating.
First, consider yourself! Do you
have many food dislikes and do you
let your children know about
them? You are important! In the
eyes of your child, you are a
grown-up to be copied and by your
example, you can help him enjoy
his food
Do you enjoy mealtime, or do
the children's manners and eating
habits bother you? Mealtime
should be a pleasant time for the
whole family. If child is fused
at during his meal, it upsets you,
and he looks upon this as an un-
pleasant part of the day. Neither
parent nor child can have much
appetite if they dread mealtime. 1t
is only natural to feel concern
toward your child when he doesn't
eat properly. If it is difficult to ig-
nor his eating habits or if your
conversation distracts him, it is
better to have him eat quietly by
himself before the family meal.
When he has learned to eat the
family food and has mastered the
| art of feeding himself, he can again
Join the family at mealtime. Child
. rem will have more appetite at one
time than another. If they are tired
or upset they may eat less. A quiet
period just before each meal can
help this problem. If the servings
of food are too large, q child feels
overwhelmed and can't clean his
plate. It is better to give small
servings SO he can get used to
cleaning his plate and asking for

tion with the food that he forms
a permanent dislike for it.
Children like to help Mother and
feel important when she allows
them to help market and prepare
their food. This takes patience on

rian governments to attack Yugo-

Immediately before the United
Nations Security Council by the
Yugoslav delegate. He will show
that such an attack-which the
Yugoslav army will successfully
resist-is q danger to peace and
adequate measures by the inter-
national peace organization will be
asked. The Soviet representative
certainly will make good use Of
his country's veto power.
Would Mean End Of U. N.
Unless the other nations in the
Council decide to 60 ahead and
take measures of their own. re.
gardless Of the Soviet veto. the
United Nations definitely will be
dead. Thus. responsible quarters
in Washington foresee that for the
first time since the U. N. was Gre
ated the n-satellite members OF
that organization may decide to
ignore the U. 8. 8. r. and take
whatever measures are necessary
under the circumstances-includ-
ing the use Of force.
The consensus Of military lead
ers in the Western nations Is that
an attack by the three Soviet sat
elites would be easily repulsed by
Marshal Tito. Russia cannot af-
ford such a setback, because 1t
would mean the beginning OF the
end of her stranglehold on the
satellites.

and that must be done from the

Only idiots, or those working
toward a degree In idiocy, ever get
out Of their cars. A visitor Is safe
only If he follows to the letter the
rules OF the park, which he pledges
to do upon entering. When you
see a sign that reads Elephant

darn well better do Just that. The

the park-sternly advise you not

Playful Exercise.

there have been cases in the park
when an elephant decided to sit
down on an automobile, or stamp

give 1t thrashing with his trunk.

ped in two and tossed aside. This
is their playful exercise. There
is always the chance that an ele-
phant will mistake sedan for a
tree, because his eyesight is ex-
tremely poor.
Chiefly because Of elephants
and giraffes the various barri-
caded rest camps scattered
throughout the park are not
connected by telephone. officials
have made several attempts to
link the camps by phone, but
they would no sooner sink poles
in the ground than the elephants
would either root them up or
splinter them. If the elephants
happened to leave the poles alone
the giranes would knock down
the wires with their necks.
Difficult to Believe.

This Changing World
American Leaders Aware That War
Tn Balkans Cannot Be Localized

even with that force. Further
military setbacks inevitably would
necessitate direct Intervention by
the Soviet army and Tito could not
resist it for long.
The question before the West
ern governments today. while the
verbal war between Moscow and
Belgrade continues, is whether the
Western nations can watch this
conflict occur with their arms
folded.
Various opinions are expressed,
of course. Some say 1t would be
q good thing If Communists do
fight Communists, since the result
would be beneficial for world
peace. But top-ranking military
and political leaders feel strongly
that in the event of an armed con-
flict in the Balkans, with the
Soviet Union as one Of the partic-
ipants. the struggle will not be
theological. It will be a Russian
effort to establish itself on the
shores Of the Adriatic and the
Eastern Mediterranean after Tito
and his army have been elimi-
mated.
Effect on Italy Seen.
The situation in italy would be-
come difficult If such q war breaks
out. Palmiro Togliatti, the Italian
Communist leader who has broken
with Tito, is marking time at pres
ent, creating only minor disturb
ances. But he Is expected to order
an all-out offensive against the
democratic government II the Red
forces reach the Yugoslav-1talian
border.
The situation in Greece has i'm
proved greatly since Tito closed
the Yugoslav border to the Greek
guerrillas. But If Russia takes
over in Yugoslavia 1t is certain
that much better organized and
stronger attacks on Greece will
occur almost Immediately, prob
ably under the leadership Of Soviet
generals.
Under such circumstances 1t is
highly improbable that the coun-
tries of the Atlantic Pact will re-
main passive.
For the time being. however, the
whole matter is only accidentally
discussed in Washington and
other capitals. While the situa-
ton in the Balkans is regarded az
explosive, there Is no definite in
dication of such concentration OF
troops and air groups as we had
in August. 1899, after the sigma
ture Of the Nazi-Soviet military
alliance.
It is true that Russian and
Yugoslav forces have been on a
war footing ever since the end OF
the war. Nevertheless, our mill
tary observers say. there would be
some slight indication Of an i'm
pending armed clash II an attack
were in the offlng.
