1 often wonder about the early
experiences of a certain person
whom I know we'll He has an eX-
. cellent mind, charm of manner, and
a dry wit. He's we'll informed, too
"a librarian calls him "one of
our best readers" But how he does
hide his light under a bushel! His
lack of participation in intellectual
conversation doesn't make sense
But what can be done now, after
all these years? He's a grown man.
His wife shouldn't attempt to cor
rect the outcomes of his upbring-
ing-not if she wants to keep him
for a husband! and who else
would think of taking such a lib
erty?
But, without doubt, there are
lots and lots of youngsters in the
world today who are living very
much the same kind of an exist
ence that this fine man did when
he was a little boy. Let us help
them, now. If no special effort is
made to draw out these sensitive
reticent ones, to encourage them
to talk about their dreams-what
they are doing, thinking. and feel
ing-they are likely never to be
self-expressive, never to be able to
step up on the stage and take

proper for everyone at times to do.
PARENT USUALLY AT FAULT
Children of this type have usual
ly been made the way they are by
having at least one parent who is
aggressive person who is apt
to dominate any gorup or family.
A friend of mine has a brilliant
daughter. The daughter is poised
lovely to look at, and so versatile
that she qualified with ease to
teach on many subjects. Yet, when
the mother and daughter appear
together, the mother alone shines,
and she keeps herself in the lime
light so completely that you'd for
get the daughter was present if it
were not for her glowing dark
beauty.
The less aggressive child should
be encourage to make his own par
ticular contribution to the group.
And, while this is in progress, it
is most desirable that he should
not be allowed to remain so far
in the background that no one
hears of him or of his contribu-
ton.
There is too much evidence that

SENSITIVE CHILD IS PROBLEM

SENSITIVE CHILD is PROBLEM
Speaking of the sensitive child,
Agnes E. Benedict, in an article
in the June. 1947. National Par
ent-Teacher. says: He is quicker
to become hopeless about himself,
to think that what he wants to do
doesn't matter, and that he doesn't
count. What is even more serious,
he is quicker to think that people
don't like him. Undoubtedly for
this reason he is more inclined to
De flustered than is his sturdier
brother or sister, more inclined to
become confused, baffled, over
Yhelmed and afraid"
My neighbours nine-year-old Anne
loves to talk, play, sing. recite, or
do almost anything to attract at
tention whenever anyone calls.
Anne's mother has difficulty in
having any companionable CONVEX
sation with her friends because of
Anne's aggressive tendencies. This
behavior of Anne's-this desire to
show off-needs, it is plain, to be
redirected. On the other hand,
there is Anne's elder brother. He
Is an intelligent boy, but oversen-
sitive, and so shy it is most diff
cult for him to converse at length.
even with members of the family.
Dad and I are working on this
problem the mother of these two
children told me. I'VE have talked
the matter over with Ted's teach
ers, and a concerted effort is being
made to help him to overcome his
sensitiveness. We are showing him.

serve, that if he allows his diff
dency to continue to develop it will
be barrier to his successful adj
Justment in practically all activi-
ties. A weak muscle can be
strengthened with exercise, but it
must be done gradually. And. we
realize, the Strengthening of con-
fldence on the part of sensitive
boys and girls must be pursued
with patience"
What about Anne?" | asked.
We are trying to teach her not
only to permit others the lime
light, but to encourage potentiali-
ties in her brother and in acquaint-
anees who are of a retiring ma
ture."

Phillumenists (the word proper
ly fits those who collect labels from
wooden-match boxes, but also is
applied to the paper-book fans)
are outnumbered among hobby
lists only by stamp collectors.
Most of them collect just for the
fun of it and would rather trade
than sell. They get on first-name
basis instantly, by mail. with other
collectors they've never seen.
This makes it hard to set exact
cash values for specific covers.
BY common consent, the most
valuable one known is that issued
for a banquet honoring Charles
Lindbergh after his 1927 trans
atlantic flight. A single perfect
copy is known to exist, and its
owner has refused 500 for it.
Naturally, there is a profu-
sion of available covers. The %
main u. S. match companies
(plus scores of tiny ones) roll
out some IL billion books a
year. Biggest unduplicated collec-
tons belong to DR.. Charles Higgs,
of Wilkes Barre, Pa, and Harry
Yankey, of Detroit. Each has well
over half a million.
Favorites of the collectors are
hotels, transportation railroads,
airlines. steamship lines). bridge"
covers (sets of two which match
playing-card patterns). "girlies"
(mostly by well-known calendar
artists, service (Army and Navy
installations), fraternal (Elks,
Lions, American Legion. etc. and
eating places (from the Stork Club
down to Joe's Beanery).
Waxships Are Tops
CURRENTLY the top group of all is
U. S. warships, practically all of
which issued their own match
books. The U.S.S. Albemarls also
offers a rarity - on one order the
name came out AlbeRmork.
Other desirable sets include a
special historical series of us.
Presidents. 1t came out with three
factual errors: the cover featuring
John Quincy Adams bore a pic
ture of his father, John Adams;
Andrew ''Old Hickory" jackson
was touted as ''Stonewall"; Wood
row Wilson's cover claimed the
u. S. entered World War I on
April II. instead of April 6.
Every President since Taft has
had his own specially designed
book matches. Those of the pres
ent White House tenant even
hit the headlines in the recent
five per center" investigation
with their famous inscription,

Matchcover collecting began
presumably not long after the
appearance of the first book
matches. That was in 1892. The
inventor, a Philadelphia lawyer
named Joshua Pusey, sold out to
Diamond three years later. Today

ORGANIZED collecting took shape
in the late 1905, but the match
book boys played second fiddle to
the label savers. In 1896 the Blue
Moon Club, a label outfit. was
rocked to its foundations when
its president, w. w. Wilson, urged
admission of cover addicts. Wilson
seeded, set up his own group.
which is rated the ancestor of
present collectors organizations.
OF these two are national, the
rest local. The nationals are the
Rathkamp Society, founded in
l94l. and the United Matchon-
ians, founded in 1896. Rathkamp
puts on an annual convention
to which all collectors are wei
come.
Trading is how most of them
now fill out their pct catego-
rics. Today's expert won't take
anything but complete, un-
used covers. After carefully re-
moving the staple, he throws the
matches away. Then he fiattens
the cover, encases it in cellophane
and slips it into an album.
Sizes. of course. are variable.
They run from ''hummingbrd'
(eight lights and midget" IA
lights all the way to the fisher
mans special" which is nearly a
foot long, holds 800 matches.
One of the country's most seri-
Gus collectors is a Manhattan
executive named Alfred H. Pollok,
whose lO2. 600 different covers fill
67 albums in the cellar of his Long
Island home. Pollok has some of
just about everything.
Matchcover collecting is I'M
doubtedly here to stay. Thousands
of people get fun from filing and
admiring their albums of colorful
covers. If Americas phillumenists
have a real complaint, it's just
that more people don't join in
the fun. MORRIS WEEkS, JR

FIRE PRACTICE MEETING

The Douglas fire alarm sounded last evening at 7:30 o'clock in fire drill rractice, sponsored by the fire department. A hurried call was made to the Douglas Public School buildings for a simulated roof fire
 relieving the completion of that run. another run was made to Star Hill, where hose was laid from the last hydrant on St. Ann's Avenue to the last house on top of the hill, in an experiment. It vas found that plenty of hose is on the truck at all times and had top pressure, even at that distance, ac- ccrding to President Anderson's re- port. A third call was made 10 the Douglas boat harbor and city deck before adjourning for the reg ular monthly meeting in City Hall.
 At the meeting it was authorized that sufficient lengths of hose and Q fire extinguisher be installed at the cannery dock for the facility and protection of boats at the float. The extinguisher will be equipped with an alarm and it was recommended that the City Council

PERMITS FOR BRUSH BURSING NOT NEEDED
 NOW, CERTAIN AREAS

Permits for brush burning or other fires on the Admiralty Dr. vision of the Tcngass National Forest will not be required this season, according to an announce ment Tcy the Division Supervisor 4. w. Blackerby. Previously, per- mits were required along the prin- cipal highways.
 This change in procedure IS be- ing tried so that inGN iduals will not be inconvenienced by coming to town for permits.
 In the event that the weather and fire conditions become severe, burning can be restricted as needed or prohibited. Blackerby empha- sized that cancelling the require ment for burning permits does not in any way relieve an inGi- lidual from personal responsibility for fire prevention and assistance in suppression.
 Admiralty Division, affected throughout by this change, covers Admiralty, Baranof and Chichagof Islands and the mainland from White Pass to Port Houghton as well as the National Forest land around Yakutat.
