For Raggedy Ann, the waist and
legs of her drawers as well as the
sleeves Of her dress and waistband
of her apron are stitched with
elastic thread. The elastic thread
is wound on the bobbin Of your
electric sewing machine. The
amount Of gathering is controlled
by the number Of stitches to the
inch. The fewer the stitches the
greater the amount Of fullness.
Be sure to get the old-fashioned
shiny black shoe buttons for their
eyes. They add a beguiling note
which cannot be initiated.
The pattern also includes . cape
and hood for. Raggedy Ann and q
cap for Raggedy Andy. for pro-
lection on chilly nights.
The irresistible charm Of these
rag dolls has been known to outlast
years of newer toys. When the
shiniest electric train has gone to
a rusty grave, and when the most
appealing blue-eyed baby doll has
been given away, Raggedy Ann
and Raggedy Andy, faded but
valiant, will still have top billing.

jobs and do both well. She says:
''Most women who work outside

their clothes when they take them

things that keep a house neat, in
stead of letting them pile up"
Miss Lewyt has found that some
women take all day to clean house
simply because they have all day
to spend. Actually it should be
possible to give a thorough clean-
ing to a three or four-room apart
ment in not more than two hours,
she says.
Says Miss Lewyt:
"After the years I've spent in
quiring into such things, I've be-
come convinced that it's better for
both wives and husbands if the
wife has job outside the home,
provided there are no small chill

Your Child
Today

In the beginning, q baby doesn'i
want things to play with. He en-
joys feeding, bathing, being allow
ed to kick freely and wiggle, and
ne loves being picked up, rocked,
sung to. As time passes, those
busy hands begin reaching out for
whatever is handy.
Its a picnic to try to diaper

Hes grabbing for the pins or the
cord on the window shade or if
there's nothing else he'll 60 for his
toes"
NoW's the time to introduce q
toy or two - he'll be around 4
months old. At this age he'll be
awake for longer periods and prob
ably will have at least one real
play time. OF course he plays
every minute he's awake in be-
tween the eating and the cleaning
UP. But as time goes on there de-
velops time when there's nothing
else to do but. play. He'll spend
this time examining his hands,
feeling the sheet or the sides Of
his crib or playpen, looking at a
light, a beam of sunshine or trees
moving in the breeze.
A baby learns to grab before he
learns how to let 60. He will reach
for and hang on to q toy, wave it
around with glee, then suddenly
the hand relaxes and he's quite
surprised to discover the toy is
gone. He'll like to have you put it
back in his hand.
Your baby will feel, shake, look
at and chew everything that comes
his way. He has to find out all
there is to know about it--chewing
it and tasting it are important to
him.. When he is getting teeth he
has special urge to chew to help
push the teeth through the gums.
The plastic toys filled with water
that you freeze in your refrigerator
are especially good at this time be-
cause the cold soothes inflamed
gums.
BY the time a baby is 8 TO Z
months old he discovers he can
throw.
About now he'll enjoy playing
ball. He'll sit on the floor and push
a big ball away from him and love
to have you push it back so he can
do it again.
During the first year a baby
doesn't need many bought toys,
but you'll probably want to get
him some. Get plastic rattles,
rings, big beads on a string, a
small stuffed animal or two, or

snug ones. Hell like soft rubber

and something that dumps into

Watch out that every toy is safe.

A few years ago Miss Lewyt vol

pile some facts about how modern
women clean house and she has
been at it ever since. The brother
is Alex Lewyt, manufacturer of
vacuum cleaners and other items.
Says Madge, who bears the title
of research consultant:
elm recent surveys ! have found
that women who work at a full
time job away from home all day
tackle their housework the same
way they do their office work.
They organize it efficiently and
don't get begged down in it.
"Women who stay at home all
day are likely to dawdle along at
housework, using the old-fashioned
methods they learned from their
mothers. There's probably some
thing psychological about it. These
women have a feeling they aren't
doing a big important job in just
keeping house, and so they try to
make it sound as nard as possible.

Policy Of TakingS Sides
In Controversies
BY ne Assesiassd Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The
General Board Of the National
Council Of Churches Of Christ
Wednesday strongly reafirmed
It's policy Of taking sides on con-
troversial public issues.
After vigorous debate, the
board adopted q resolution. by
a vote of 81 to 4. declaring
that members Of the National
Council have the right to differ
publicly from the councils pro-.
nouncements. but underlines the
councils right to continue maxi
ing such pronouncements in "the |
field of social. political and ece-
nomic activity"
The board, policy-m aking 8
group for the IS million member
National Council, made the deci-
sion at the opening Of its BIZ
monthly meeting.
Taft Attacks Foes. i
| Charles p. Taft, brother Of the
late Senator from Ohio and a
prominent Protestant layman,
attacked proposals to water down
the resolution and said that
churches must be concerned with
controversial and political mat
ters.
Mr.. Taft said the resolution as
submitted last May by B. E.
Hutchinson, Detroit Episcopal
layman, would have prevented
the presentation of either ma
jority or minority viewpoints
within the board.
Bishop Oxnam's Stand.
Methodist Bishop G. Bromley
Oman of Washington attacked
the suggestion that the board
should avoid taking a stand and
said:
"The church must speak"
| He said the board should speak
carefully, but added:
y disagree completely that
we have spoken too often and
unwisely in the past"
The church has spoken
through the years we've
moved forward morally since
1900 because the church has
spoken out. The church must
speak. On slavery, the church
had to speak. Is 1t wrong for
lit to speak on child labor?
think not"
| Bishop Oman then listed
number Of matters on which
he belived the church had to
take sides and speak out.
Proposal Assailed
i Mr.. Hutchinson said the board
should "get on with the Lords
business and stay out of
matters on which honest men
differ"
He questioned whether such
group should make pronounce
ments which emphasize the
diversity Of opinion on secular
affairs"
Lem r. Jones. Kansas City

that the committee which
brought MIR. Hutchinson's reso-
luton to the floor had "emascu-
i lated" it.
