"IHANK-YOU' NOTE.
~. II. M. Baton Roucel

IL. -. Ne 0UtOW HOUUGlAk
A friend Of mine In WASH
ington sent me a clipping about
Louisiana State University which
appeared In your coIum.
Through you. I should like to
thank Mrs. L. C. ", Washington,
for doing such an excellent piece
on the more personal side Of
, L. s. U. Her letter indicated we
were missing q bet. The result:
an insert to be printed for our
general catalog which will
give prospective out-of- State
students the kind Of informa-
ton sought through your col
umns by Miss e. C. This same
information will be included
also in a new viewbook to be
published this winter.
It is nice to know that L. S. q.
has created such a favorable
impression. I hope 1t viii bring
Miss E. @. and perhaps some
other Washing gtonians to L. s. u.
to further their education and
that they will find it as Mrs.
L. G. v. describes.
(Mrs. E.. E. K, LnureU
Some weeks ago I asked
through >RCH for information
regarding an old fashioned ear
trumpet for my 90-year-old
mother. Just to show what fine
contacts we make through RCH,
a lady In Arlington wrote me
she had one she could let me
have. I was obliged to tell her
that mother had broken her
hip and ! could not leave her
for the present. but would con-
tact her as quickly as I saw my
way clear to come down.
She called me and the next
Sunday two new friends" drove
all the way to Laurel to bring
mother the trumpet. It was the
incest thing for them to do and
want to publicly thank both
Miss B. and her friends Mrs. s.
The trumpet is just the thing
mother needed and she Is so
happy. It makes my nursing Of
her so much easier too. She Is
now In a wheelchair and will
walk again thanks to q mar
velous surgical job and her
strong constitution and vital
ity.

YULE JOYS FOR
SHUT-INS
sy DAVID TAYLOR MARkE
AP NeNsleaturss writer

Little shut-ins lives can be
frightened considerably at Yule
time with the proper gifts. Experts
on child care agree that the inn
portant thing to remember is to
get them the kinds of toys that pro-
vide quiet play, and a wide variety
of interest. The child should be
able to play by himself with easy
to-handle toys that provide imagi-
native play, and that are right for
his age.
Perhaps we could do we'll to fol-
low the suggestions and Observa-
tions of Miss Claudia d. Gips, a
registered nurse now teaching at
Teachers College, Columbia Univer-
sity. Her opinions are based on
research she did at the Lenox Hill
Hospital in New York City with
sick children confined to their beds
and some able to get around.
Her research shows that ball
looms were enjoyed by every age
group. The great versatility of the
balloon seemed especially appeal
ing, she says, because children who
were more active could bat the bal
loon to the ceiling while those in
bed could dress it up with a little
paste or paper to make it an old
man, an. aircraft OF an animal. If
the balloon is vivid in color it can
serve as diversion for children with
hospital-weary eyes. Children too
i'll to play can have balloons tied to
their beds, where they can watch
them in motion or touch them Occa-
sionally. Even when play is inn
possible it is possible for the child
to derive comfort from having a
toy by him, as though it represent
ed an object from his own world
Pull-toys come next in frequency
of use, she says. Perhaps they
were so popular because the con-
fined child needed activity and
these toys gave some meaning to
his trot around the ward. Pull
Milford chronicle., 1952-12-19

toys were used mainly by the 2-to-
I5-year-old group but were not
scorned by the 6-to-S-year-olds.
Another group having great ap-
peal are the ImaginaTy-Play type,
she reports. These include nurse
and doctor kits, family of dolls,
bathroom and living-rOom doll fur
niture, set of small wooden war
ships, telephones and wooden milk
bottles in a rack. Little shut-ins
display 4 constant and enthusiastic
4 interest in the doctor and nurse
kits especially. In the hospital, lit
! tie patients who could walk about
/ included bed patients in their play
+ Where a child could not undertake
such stimulating play, the rela-
tiOn Of doctor and patient would
be played out with a doll.
/ The construction toys - large
domino-like blocks and the set Of
blocks, train and track-as a group
were next in popularity. They were
used by all ages Of children with
equal enthusiasm, she says. These
! toys can lead TO group play or, in
4 the case of a child confined to bed
in a home, to play with his par
ents.
Another set of toys that were
popular without requiring sustain
ed interest, were the manipulative
toys, such as those that move in
response to having their bases
pressed, OF have the ability to turn
a dolls head or walk her. Puzzles
are popular, also.
For infants still confined to their
Z cribs, says Miss Gips, II was found
that baby crib toys distracted the
infants from their crying and serv-
ed to provide them with exercise
they probably would not have had
otherwise.
