Properly furnished Room Helps GROWING Children
By Gladys Miller
tSserstory, New York Chapter,
lnxf;k,,Sa of Naeoro.,rs

Ameftcon tn$rftufo OF becofotorS.J
Some years ago, I furnished a
model room for a teen-age girl
which pleased one mother to such
q degree that she reproduced it
exactly as 1t was.
Two weeks later, she came into
my Office again. She explained
that, as her son returned from de-
livering his papers on his route,
he brought an old, beaten kitchen
table he had picked up at Sec
ond-hand store. He remarked,
seeing Sis room gave me the
idea that If I made my room COM
Portable to work in, perhaps I'd
study more and my grades would
improve"
The mother went to his room
with him. It was furnished with
all Of the family discards, and
nothing had been done to unity
them. The room was a dull, drab
place. Needless to say, we did
something about it.
Few Step-by- Step Budget.
Since that day, I have always
been interested in good furnish
ing ideas for growing children.
You don't budget decorating funds
long before you know that most
families cannot purchase for each
age group. Only a few can so
through the bassinet, crib, junior
bed and big-bed program. Many
decide to jump from the bassinet
to the big bed, but do add high
sides to the bed until the child is
old enough not to fall out.
The low chest of drawers, which
can be later placed on on top Of
the other is practical, as both age
groups can use it, and when the
two low chests are used separately,
they are brought down in size to
meet the child's psychological
need.
The same principle can be used
In wall decoration. Framed wall
board or cork panels to which any,
thing that intrigues the child CAL
be stuck on with Scotch tape. and
later thumb-tacked, can be hung
low and then raised as the, child |
grows. A blackboard, companion
size or smaller, Is also wonderful

adjunct. Young children love to
draw, but the space must be large.
Teaching them to draw on the
board does protect your walls.
Later. the blackboard is good
place for messages.
Start Study Habits Right.
When the boy or girl goes to
school and begins to have home
work. the time has come to pro-
vide a truly good desk with a
large work surface. Drawers for
paper and pencils and side shelves
for favorite books and die
tionary are added conveniences.
It is surprising to learn how few
homes have good dictionary.
It Is far easier to start chill
dren right in their study habits
if they have good tools to work
with. There are good study desks
Evening star., 1951-03-10

in the stores at reasonable prices.
The secondhand stores always
have some which can be refinished
or painted. And you can make
one yourself with two low chests
of drawers or steel files, topped
with piece of plywood or a
flush door If you have that much
space.
If you have a son or daughter
ready for school next fall, now
is the time to get his or her
room ready for work. It makes
them feel so grown up and it
starts them on the right road
for school. More than that, it
makes them realize the value of
the right furnishings and good
living.

Water for Nearby Maryland
To Be FIuoridoted by Jan. !
Suburban Sanitary Commission to Add
Chemical as Soon us 1t Gets Equipment

Initial cost of the program was
estimated at $12,500, with the an
nual cost thereafter amounting to
$500. The commission empha-
sized. however, the move will not
result in an increase in water
consumption rates.
Under the plan the commission
proposes to add enough fiuorine
to its filtered water to reduce a
uniform concentration of l part
of the chemical to l million parts
Of water.
Such concentration. the COM
mission said, has been recon-
mended by public health authori-
ties since it does not produce
tooth discoloration nor will il
produce any toxic effects in the
body.
Many communities throughout
the country, the commission
pointed out, have much higher
concentrations of f1uorine in their
natural water supplies.

The Washington Suburban San
itary Commission announced to-
day it will f1uoridate its water
supply, serving major portions of

Counties, as soon as the necessary
chemicals and equipment can be
obtained.
A commission spokesman said 1t
is hoped to begin adding the chem
ical to the water before January /.
The program is the first ordered
in effect in Maryland and in the
Washington area.
1t has been indorsed by num-
erous civic groups. the Mont
gomery County Council, Southern
Maryland Dental Society and the
medical societies of Montgomery
and Prince Georges Counties as
a move to prevent tooth decay.
To check on how the plan
works. the commission has asked
the Southern Maryland dental
group to make a survey of tooth
decay among school children as
soon as possible and to repeat the
survey in succeeding years.

Inc referendum, scheduled Sep
tember %, came about after the
Australian high court ruled last
March that the Federal Parlia-

the parliamentary act of last Oc-
toner calling for dissolution of
the Communist Party. The sep

this power to the Federal Gov

Have we become so soft-head-

He added:

through their influential posts in
Australia; taught. as many of
them have been, in Moscow, and
communicating, as many of them
do, with world Communist or
ganizations.

"You now have a chance to arm
your national Parliament with the
power to deal with our most dan

one great chance. If you reject
it. it will never come again.
II call upon the Australian peo-
pie to cast such a yes vote that
it will not only give us the weap-
ons with which to fight these
enemies, but will also make it
clear to friend and foe alike that
in this freedom-loving land we
will no more tolerate secret sabo-
