COnfide in
Parents
By Angelo Potri

Children who are taught to tell
their troubles to understanding
people, their mothers and fathers
preferably, are likely to grow up
in sound mental health. Those
who have nobody to whom to
tell their troubles, hopes and fears
are likely to be unhealthy in body
and mind.
In order to establish this COM
munication between parents and
children, and it is a most i'm
portant element in the growth of
healthy children, the parents
must give their time, their affec-
tionate, wholehearted interest to
the children's stories. A parent
who is good listener has two big
forces in his favor to start with.
Children are likely to have fears
that they hide, and hidden fear
is a dangerous element in any
mind. 1t can undermine health.
1t takes away the appetite for
food. for play, for all the things
necessary to sound health in child
hood. When children learn, and
they must learn this early, that
they can rely absolutely on their
parents love and understanding,
they are likely to talk out these
fears and allow themselves to be
encouraged and strengthened.
All school children have trou-
bles. They miss a lesson, the
teacher doesn't seem to like them,
playmate picks on them, they
don't understand an algebra prob
lem, they are afraid of tomorrow's
test. They are real troubles and
If they are kept locked up in
child's mind they create havoc in
his thinking and behavior and
check his healthy growth. IT par
ents will allow children, encour-
age them. to tell their troubles
and then point the way out, lend
4 hand to the overcoming Of the
difncultie.A the children will profit
immensely. This is fathering and
mothering Of the best, most ef-
ficient sort.
Parents are weary, overworked,
overwrought people No doubt
about it: they need rest and
peace at night after the days
grind. But when the children
have had their quiet time after
dinner at night, when father has
had a quiet session with his book
or paper, and bedtime is drawing
nearer, isn't there a chance for
the talk that Is so needed, for the
sympathy and understanding that
is so helpful? And couldn't there
be bedtime condolences?
Getting things off their minds
is as important to children as
getting a load off their backs.
Give them the comfort of listen
ing hour. 1t will work wonders.

HOUSED

(F'rom Mrs. G. F. L., Washington.
We are anticipating buying a
home and have become quite in
terested in one by the same archi-
tect who designed those homes in
a nearby Virginia subdivision, in
itials Of which are HH. These
homes have a 19-foot glass wall in
the living room and 9-foot ex-
panse of glass in the dining room.
Also, they are featured in one of
the popular home magazines for
March.
We are wondering if those folks
who are now, or who have lived in
these homes will let us profit by
their experiences as to the advan-
tage or disadvantage of this large
expanse of glass in this locality.
Is the winter heating a problem,
Is it more costly? Is it drafty?
We would appreciate hearing as
soon as possible as our decision
Will have to be made shortly.

raisins, then the sour cream.
Bake between two crusts.
To the lady who asked about

TO TINT UPHOLSTERY?
(From Mrs. M. J. H., Greenbelt.)
Does any one know whether
there is a tint or dye or color
freshener that can be brushed on
upholstery? I have a floral blocked
linen soft (gray) which has faded,
but the material is still in ex-
cellent condition. Is it possible to
do a job of recoloring like this at
home? Will the coloring ma
terial harm the down filling in
any way? Thank you very much
for your constant help.

Daylight Saving in Falls Church
Voted When and IfD.C. Gets 1t

disqualification bill and the House

omnibus Federal appropriation

Unanimous consent would be
needed to bring the question up
and there are more than the one
opponent necessary to block the
plan here.
Arlington and Alexandria al
ready have made requests to Gov.
Battle similar to that of Falls
Church. All of Virginia ex-
cept Arlington, Alexandria, Falls
Church and Fairfax is compiled
by law to observe Eastern stand
ard time, therefore the action of
the Manassas council calls for an
unoficial observance of daylight

Proposal for County
Financing Of Walks

The Allied Civic Group of Silver
Spring has rejected a proposal to
seek county funds for construction
of sidewalks, curbs and cutters
along Georgia avenue.
At its meeting last night in the
Liquor DiSpensary Building the
group voted down a request of the
Glenview Citizens Association to
seek local funds for the work.
DR.. Manuel Shpritz, delegate
from the Glenview association,
urged the move on the grounds
that Georgia avenue is a major
highway and it's improvement
benefits other property owners to
a greater extent than abutting
property owners.

secondary roads in regard to front
foot assessment. The vote on the

vote.

|ConstitutionaIity Issue
Raised by Technician
In Dentistry Case

The constitutionality of a law
under which a Mount Rainier
dental technician was convicted
for practicing dentistry without a
license was under consideration
today in Prince Georges County
Circuit Court.
A jury yesterday convicted Ste
lphen Robert Dellavalle, a tech
nician with II years experience,
who has offices in the $500 block
Of Perry street. Judge Charles c.
Marbury, however. set bond at
$500 while he considers a defense
motion to set aside a grand jury
indictment on the contention that
the law under which Mr.. Della
vale was convicted violates the
Federal and State Constitutions.
The Indictment charged spe-
cifically that Mr.. Dellavalle
worked on the teeth of Albert D.
Rust, 3719 Thirty-fifth street
Mount Rainier, although he was
not a licensed dentist. The Mary
land State Board of Dental Exam
liners brought the complaint.
The defense contends that Mr.
Dellavalle owns and operates a
dental laboratory in which are To-
Gated the offices of DIR. Donald H
Fleming, a licensed dentist. The
defense holds that Mr.. Deilavalle
merely made adjustments in the
plate fittings prescribed by DR.
Fleming and denies that the tech
nician was practicing dentistry.
Judge Marbury indicated he
would rule by May S on the mo-
tions made by defense counsel
Walter L. Green and Edward c.
Bell, jr., Hyattsville. and Robert
Miller, WASHINGTON.
