Little Tommy = Veteran of Fight
Against 5 Ailments = Is Dimes BOy

Less than a month after be-
ing brought to Maryland from
Ohio, little John Thomas (Tom-
my Woodward was in a hospital,
fighting the first of a year-long
series of ailments which ultimate
ly included infantile paralysis,
meningitis, measles, chicken poZ
and mastoiditiS.
Most of the troubles struck at
the blond baby with near-fatal
attacks, but all except one were
remedied so successfully that the
most serious after-effects were
Tommy's vivid memories of
homesick days and feverish
nights.
The sole exception, infantile
paralysis, left grim mementOes,
hOwever-the tiny crutches and
leg braces which Tommy can
be seen wearing in the pictures
depicting him as the States
polio Poster Boy of 1856"
In his present capacity as "Pos-
ter Boy, four-year-old Tommy is
the symbol of Maryland's part in
the nationwide March of Dimes.
But to his mother, Mrs. Veryl D.
Woodward, he's just a mischiev-
Gus little boy with a penchant
for standing on his head or MINI
licking television performers.
He was in the hospital so
much that it seems l never had
him as a baby" Mrs. Woodward
said at her home at $3.50 Chan
ming Road in Catonsville. "By
the time l got him back, he was
a little boy"
The first goal of the blue-eyed
youngster, after he returned
home in the spring of 1852, was
to master the use of his crutches.
Progress came slowly, said his
mother, and waXed floors and
steps loomed in his path as par
ticularly frightening bugaboos,
While Tommy was slowly ad-
justing himself to the art of
maneuvering his paralyzed legs,

Through the years in the cap
ital she developed new skills
that made her department
model for the whole country.
The trouble is that what she
learned won't help her much
in the business world. And. Of
course, she is older now, so she
worries a good deal about get

taken by an earnest, deserving

This column has been very

some of you mothers who have

your feeling toward the use of
lipstick for a growing girl? At
what age do you allow your
daughters to start wearing it?
Do you have special occasions
when it is permitted? What
are your rules, if any? I am
inclined to be old fashioned
and therefore biased in my
opinions. My daughter is eleven

Why Grow Old?
Let's Stop
Storing
Things
By Josephine Lowmon

Many women constantly
store away what they may
need sometime" They fill
drawers, Easements, trunks,
closets and attics with old pic
ture frames, pieces of cloth,
wrapping paper and dozens Of
boxes, clocks that won't run.
used candles, cardboard, mag
azines, old newspapers and so
forth and so forth.
Then suppose that by some
miraculous chance. after many
years you DO need one Of
these itemsi If so. can you
put your finger on it? If you
can you are q better woman
than I. You probably spend
lots Of time and energy look
ing for it and In the end went
out and bought another like It.
Another frustrating thing
about saving masses Of mate

fact that after saving them

item away you always need 1t

VoU can blame this survey on a l2-year-old
IL Stamford. Conn.,, girl. Parents" she
said, keep talking about how annoying kids
are. Why don't you ask children what annoys
them about parents? I'll bet you'd really hear
somethng!"
So we did. We asked 500, ages six to Ia.
What annoys you about your mother? Your
father" And we got some revealing answers.
The kids lived in New York. New Jersey,
Connecticut and Los Angeles. and they were
interviewed in homes. school yards. commu-
nifty centers. summer camps and on the street.
Here's quick rundown of what your child
may see when he looks at YOU
Top three gripes, covering more than so
per cent of the total, could be summarized
under three headings: disposition of parents
discipline and unfairness. (For exact break
down of the three gripes, see box at left.)
I. Bad disposition: Children held the mir
ror up to parents tempers with devastat-
ing results. Parents turned out. in many cases,
to be grumpy, jumpy and generally bad
tempered. Most common annoyance: "She
hollers all the time" Kids didn't understand
why Dad turned purple when Sonny used his
tools and Mother went soprano when Sis
stopped milk on the floor
Mama says I've got bad temper" an
eight-year- old snorted. Look who's talking!"
z. Discipline. Oddly enough, the chief COM
plant about discipline was not that there was
too much of it or that it was overly severe.
The objection in many cases was that there
wasn't enough discipline or that it was too
easy or inconsistent
One boy said his father let him get away
with everything but murder" Do you think
he liked it? He did not He wanted definite
set of rules. An eight-year-old was perturbed
about his mother: "She says she's going to
spank me if run through the sprinkler. Then
do. but she doesn't do anything about it,
This may sound like strange reaction, but
child psychologists do insist that children
actually want discipline = with consistency
in it. When punishment is administered each
time it is indicated. and according to set
formula. the child learns his behavior limits.
Understanding these limits, he feels secure.
When parent acts contrary to formula, the
child is confused and insecure.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-12-05
by David DRESSER

While young people understood reasonable
that classification. Being sent to their room
or kept from seeing TV was all right - but
not corporal punishment. That was never
justified, they felt.
,. Unfairness. Youngsters resented being
scolded for faults they hadn't committed.
They disliked being required to follow rules
their parents didn't - like eating everything
on the dinner plate.
They were keen enough to learn quickly
that an angry parent can be hazard to inno-
cent bystanders. Said l3-year-old: If Dad
gets mad at Mother. he takes it out on me.
That IS not fair. And this morning the pump
broke down, so he yelled at me. didn't do
thing!'
Children were highly sensitive on preferen-
tial treatment for brothers and sisters.
Sure I'm annoyed" girl of ii exploded.
My little brother gets his way all the time.
Bubblehead!'
Miner Csipes
AFTER these three, other gripes varied widely.
One was too much parental control. They
were indignant when denied the right to
date" Early curfew raised their hackles.
Overcritical parents got a going-over. A
boy complained. my dad says hold the bat
wrong, and my marks aren't good enough.
He makes fun of me. too"
Many children were vexed because mother
or father couldn't work up any enthusiasm for
srnall-fry aspirations. Pop won't do any
thing with me" one boy said. IF ask him
to help about something. he says. Beat it!
I'm busy"
The fact that children are annoyed. how
ever, doesn't necessarily prove they are about
to become behavior problems. Kids can be
unreasonable, it's true. Probably the healthi-
est approach to the whole question is to see
how deeply child is affected by particular
annoyance. and find out what can be done
about those that really hurt.
If you do this, maybe your own children
will feel the way l2-year-old japanese boy
did. He was shocked at Our question. Par
ents." he said. speaking deliberately. do
everything for US. so how could we be annoyed
by them?" The End
