veys show that most young people
have naturally good reading tastes.
They are honest about what they
like. They are loyal to the chosen
books which they like to re-read
and discuss with friends.
According to survey Tin New
York; teen-agers are partial to
adventure and mystery stories;
four out of five would spend their
own money to buy books; many
would like to see more books

The Importance OF oral reading,
for all students, is emphasized by
DR.. William B. McCoard. a uni
versity professor of speech, who
explains: "Once, before the print
ing press. all communication was
oral. Then came silent reading.
Now, with television and radio,
there is a swing-back to oral"
"A skill for reading aloud can be
of great value to every teen-ager.
Some shun it because they learned
bad habits in childhood. Some
where back in the grades they
got the idea that you should pro-
nounce word after word as If
memorized. It is more mature to

These skills carry over into
silent reading. too. When you
read alone there is an impulse to
skip. speed, scan. The showdown
for reading aloud teaches you to
think as you 60 and to 60 deeper

Reading Aloud Solves Home Date Problems
By Kite Turmoil

Do you wish that you knew more
to talk about on dates? Do you
run out Of ideas for conversation
or recreation with friends or fam
lily? Do you sometimes feel that
your teen life and personality lack
color and variety?
Reading can help to solve some
of those problems. If you know how
to read with a social purpose. You
do not have to be a bookworm or
hermit to learn how to enjoy
reading as sociable pastime.
Once, book-talk was considered
too weighty to be enjoyed on dates.
Now, many teen-agers say that
they like to talk about something
really interesting, cleaned from
reading. IT wish more girls would
read enough to find something
worth talking about" complains
Dave, q popular senior. "Some
talk Of nothing besides clothes and
other girls and stuff. When you
try to discuss some Of the i'm
portant things Of life today, like
world events and science and mill
tary training, they gaze into
space as If you were a man from
Mars"
Because of current concern
about world conditions, young
people in some cities are organiz-
ing groups, to read and discuss
what is going on. Also. there is q
growing trend toward reading
aloud. in group, at home. or In
clubs.
g. Many are finding out that 1t can
be fun to take turns. while reading
plays or "who-dun-its" or poetry
or whatever appeals to the ma
jority.
Oral reading does not have to
be 'stuffy." Today's alert, active
teeners are not apt to be under
family pressure to sit quietly, and
listen, while great-grandpa drones
on and on. in dull monotone, from
his favorite book. Good oral read
ing is now supposed to be natural,
lively. Good for some laughs, too,
If you include humor and if you
read with the light touch.
Along with entertainment, oral
reading can give you so much
that speech-experts now say that
every one should read aloud for
a few minutes each day. With
or without an audience this will
help you to improve your reading
and speech habits for everyday
use. Also it will develop poise.
when you are called upon to speak
up or read aloud in group.
If reading aloud, as a hobby,
is new idea to you why not give
it a try? This is more likely to
succeed if you begin with small
congenial group and if you choose
material of popular appeal. Your
librarian will guide you. Many
libraries are now adding young
adult departments to provide
books OF strong teen interest. Sur

Recognition of Career Men

President Truman has shown good iudg-
ment in appointing career man to succeed an
other career man as head of the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue The retiring commissioner,
George ]. Schoeneman, worked his way to a top
administrative post during long and outstanding
service that began with appointment to 5000
clerkship in the Post Office Department His
successor, John B. Dunlap, has been an employe
of the Internal Revenue Bureau for nearly 20
years.
Mr.. Schoeneman had sought to leave earlier,
but had been drafted" for further service How
ever, his health began to suffer from the strain
OF the increasingly heavy responsibilities of the
revenue commissionership and Mr.. Truman re-
luctantly agreed to release him to private life
The new commissioner has the advantage of ex-
perience not only in the Washington headquarters
but as an agent in the field. The bureau will
continue in good hands.

some foundation for pronouncing it
."gooby."
But the members of the modern
Guppy family all pronounce it to rhyme

X
Guppies are hardy and will survive
in temperatures of SIS degrees.
This means that if used outdoors. they
should be brought indoors early in the
fall
To leave them out in our winters
usually means their death, although we
have heard some tall tales of their
survival under ice. One usually hears
such stories of all tropical specimens.
Once fellow told us how his angel
fishes had survived without harm in a
tank in which ice had formed. Well,
maybe. Most owners have no such good
fortune. and wonder how any one else
could. and decide that, honestly. they
couldn't. Some persons just like to
romance. evidently, or talk big and
dare any one to call them liars.
When brought indoors from the pool
the guppies should have pool water at
first. Afterward it may be hghtened
gradually with tap water which has
been allowed to stand overnight so
that the chlorine goes out of it and
it warns up to the house temperature.
Guppies are among the hardest of
our tropical specimens, but they will get
fungus disease if treated too roughly.
Father and mother guppies have diff
ferent ways with their offspring when
born. The father nips pieces out of
them. whereas the mother swallows
them whole.
