Cyrus Eaton TO Use Estate
As Retreat for Thinkers
BY the Associofsd Press

LAC BEAUFORT, Quebec,
Dec. 29.-Financier Cyrus S.
Eaton said yesterday he will
convert his big estate at his
native Pugwash, Nova Scotia,
into a retreat for the thinking
men" of the United States and
Canada.
The white-haired Cleveland
millionaire, celebrating his list
birthday here, said he wants to
give statesmen, labor leaders,
scholars, authors and business
men a chance to "relax together.
exchange views, sharpen their
thinking and design formulas for
us to live by in this brand-neW
world of ours"
MY conviction is that we
have now entered a new world
and, in order to meet its require
ments. each and every one of us
must be physically and mentally
alert" Mr.. Eaton said.
Under his plan, groups of
scholars from McGill University,
Harvard, Columbia. Princeton
and other schools have agreed
to spend part of their vacations
at his Nova Scotia estate.
His own career shows that
Eaton himself is very well able
to survive in the modern age.
He is board chairman of the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railway and
has engaged in many daring
enterprises that have made him
q millionaire.
He began his list year yester-
day with a skiing excursion.

Texan Blasts NEA
Report Of Pressure
On Houston Teachers
By The Asseeiossd Press

The National Education As
sociation was under fire today
from James M. Delmar, retiring
School Board president at
Houston, Tex, for the MEAS
report that teachers there were
under "unwarranted pressures"
IN political, social and class
room activities.
"The School Board doesn't
need any suggestions from the
National Education Association
whether they are good or
bad" MIR. Delmar said In
Houston.
The NEA said the city's teach
ers, in an anonymous poll. re-
ported pressures on such things
as "slanting" teaching and what
political candidate to support.
NEA said the poll was part of an
investigation it made Of the
Houston school system.
A General Survey.
The investigation. asked in
1853 by the Texas State Teach
ers' Association. was pinpointed
to the dismissal of George w.
Ebey, a deputy superintendent
accused of "disloyalty." but in
cluded a general survey of the
Houston school atmosphere.
Generally. NEA said, it found
unrest, unhappiness and, in
some cases, bitterness exist
among Houston personnel"
Mr.. Delmar said the report
was an outrage and not worth
the paper it's written on nor
the postage it would take to
send 1t back to Washington"
Another Members Opinion.
However, another school board
member, Mrs. Olon Rogers, said
she believed the study should be
fused to the best advantage"
She added: 'eIt seems to me
the report is constructive and
well thought out. And since the
committee was invited here by
legitimate teachers associations,
and since very competent people
came, we on the school board
should read the report thor
oughly and try to use it to a
constructive end"
In its report, NEA said that
1913 of the 3,670 teachers polled
replied. Examples of pressures
some of those reported included:
Pressure to support a political
candidate, to refrain from social
or political activity, to slant
some courses toward a certain
political belief" to present only
one side when discussing current
events" and to include or ex-
clude teaching material not re-
quired by the school board"

TRIP WITH BABY.

mrs. D. L. s., Arlington)
For Mrs. E. j., Falls Church:
Last summer we took two long
trips with our little boy, who
was then about Is months old.
We bought a fiberglass insu-
lated plastic bag. about the
size and shape of a small suit
case, to keep his food in. The
day before you go. fill 8 or 4
milk cartons half full of water
and freeze solid. Use these
to keep your food cold. (We
found this method more ef-
ective than using ice cubes.
The ice cubes melt rapidly.
while half full boxes will keep
your refrigerator cold for IL
or more hours.) In this plastic
bag I kept at least a quart of
milk for the baby, any open
jars of baby food and several
prechilled soft drinks for nom
and dad. Also a container Of
water with ice cubes in it. I
also pack a lunch for us to eat
and keep it cool and fresh
tasting. For the baby, ! use
jars of baby food and fruit,
and also take along a box of
cereal. We have one of the
little stands for canned heat,
so if the small one gets hungry
before you do, it is a simple
matter to stop and heat his
food up. We used his car seat
as a high chair. In the eve
nings we would stop and feed
the baby and then go on to a
restaurant for our own supper.
This way, the baby was per-
fectly happy to sit and play or
MUNICH a cracker while we ate
in peace without too many in
terruptions. I carried a damp
washcloth and a cake of soap
wrapped separately in a plas-
tic bag. for a quick cleanup
after meals. A small terry
cloth towel is fine for drying
and 1t doesn't take up too much
space.
For the baby's travelling and
sleeping comfort we used the
area in front of the back seat
for storing things like the
"ice bag" toys, clothes and
diapers. Then we put his
crib mattress over this. It
made a nice big, fiat play area
for him, and when he got
tired, he just lay down and
went to sleep. 1t was easy to
get at the things underneath
by lifting the edge of the
mattress.
Cotton seerSucker SunSuitS
or overalls are the best things
to dress the baby in while
travelling in the summer. A
tee shirt can be worn with
these if it is cool. I kept a
lightweight blanket to put
over him when he mapped.
You may need a light sweater
in the evening. We used
throW-aWay diapers when
travelling. The heavy waxed
garbage bags made good
waterproof containers for the
soiled diapers. These can be
thrown away in reStrooms
where you stop. If you stop
for the night you can use his
mattress on the floor for him
to sleep on.
Hope this helps out. We've
travelled with our baby since
he was 3 months old. Happy
travelling!

Your Child Today

Almost every little girl likes
doll or two. Lots of little boys like
them too.
Don't discourage your little boy
if he wants to play with dolls. 1t
doesn't mean he's a sissy, any
more than that the girl who likes
trucks is headed toward being a
tOmboy.
But neither girls or boys want
dolls to look at. They want to play
with them. A doll is to dress and
undress, to put to bed, to feed, to
punish if she's naughty - to live
the life of its owner. It's going to
be a rough life. The doll had bet
ter be sturdy. It's much more I'M
portant that she be rugged than
that she be beautiful.
Breakable dolls, dolls with
"don't-handle-me" clothes are not
playthings for children.
A good old fashioned tight stuffed
than a fancy high priced beauty
that says Mama" Some of the
new plastic dolls are soft to the
touch. Their arms and legs can be
easily moved about and they take
good deal of abuse.

A gaily decorated Christmas tree
and a row of small Santas on the
mantel carried out the Christmas

Committee members served tea,
coffee, fruit cake and other light
refreshments during the evening.
The tea table in the dining room
featured a clever centerpiece Of
Florida holly, Santa'S reindeer and
colorful candles.

the length of many peoples feet.
If the left foot is longer, fit the
shoe to that foot. When the child
is standing the shoe should be at
least one-half inch longer than the
big toe.
See that the counter (the stiff
piece of the shoe around the heeD
fits snugly but not so tightly that
the heel can't make a slight up and
down movement. The shank (the
narrow part of the sole in front of
the heel) should fit well into the
arch of the foot. 1t should be firm
but not made of rigid material.
Be certain that the widest part
of the shoe fits the widest part of
the foot and is flexible enough to
permit the foot to bend at the toes
in walking.
She says that up to age six, the
heel should be one-fourth to one
half an inch high. After that, as
the child grows, the heel can be
increased to one inch. A teen-age
girl may want to wear moderate
or high heels, but she should save
them for special occasions such as
dances. The oxford type shoe is
best for everyday wear.
Likewise, gym shoes, ballet slip
pers, loafers and high heel cowboy
boots are designed for special
purpose and should not be worn
continuously. For some children,
heel repair may be necessary
every two weeks. Miss Arlington
recommends rubber heels because
they prevent unnecessary jarring.
She says socks and stockings are
important, too, because they help
absorb perspiration and prevent
friction. They should be longer
than the foot but not so long that
they wrinkle.
AS a final word of caution, don't
depend upon an X-ray machine to
determine a good fit-"In the first
place it does not show how shoe
fits. and some doctors feel it is a
very real source of danger. ZAP

Fit ChiIdren's Shoes Carefully
To Prevent Adult Foot Trouble

A great deal of the trouble that
adults have with their feet-some
doctors claim most of it-Starts in
childhood. To prevent some of the
trouble and to help parents select
proper shoes for their children, the
Children's Bureau has put out a
new pamphlet entitled "Your Chill
dren's Feet and Footwear"
Miss Clara Arlington, physical
therapist for the bureau, wrote the
pamphlet after conducting work
shops with parents and consulting
with orthopedic surgeons, pediatri-
clans, and other specialists.
''The important thing for a par
ent to remember" Miss Arlington
says, "is that most of the time a
child won't complain about his
shoes. If his feet hurt, he will take
them off whenever he can or make
excuses to get out of doing some
thing that requires standing or
walking"
Teachers have told her that when
they spot a child tagging in play
or preferring to stay at his desk
during recess, one of the first
things they check is his shoes. How
ever, if a mother finds her small
baby pulling off his shoes and
socks, it doesn't necessarily mean
that his feet hurt. Most likely he is
simply exploring, she says.
Close attention should be given
to the first shoes child wears be-
cause a poor shoe can mold and
shape a young child'S foot out of
its correct growth. Miss Arlington
says it should have soft leather
top, leather sole about one-eighth
of an inch thick and no heel. The
leather sole ought to be tough
enough for protection but flexible
enough to bend easily so the child
can make natural use of his foot.
She advises mothers not to keep
shoes on their children all the time.
The child from one to six will
need a pair of shoes every four to
eight weeks, Miss Arlington says.
She says a child has outgrown his
shoes when his toes touch the end
of the shoe, when the toe cap
presses down on the toes, or when
the widest part of the foot, just
back of the toes, spreads the top
of the shoe over the sole.
Even though outgrown shoes are
in good condition, don't hand them
down to the next child, Miss Ar
rington cautions-''They have been
nodded to the foot and walk OF the
child who wore them. The next
child will have to conform to the
shape of that shoe which may al
feet his natural walk"
One simple test which she offers
to find out if the child has outgrown
his shoes is this: Have the child
stand on paper and mark the heel
and big toe. Then cut out the paper
and slip it into the shoe. If the
paper buckles, it's time for a new
pair of shoes.
To forestall some of the trouble
that adults have with their feet
the Children's Bureau pamphlet OF
fers these suggestions for buying
children's shoes:
Take the child with you. A siz'
number won't do. Measure ootl
feet. There is a little difference II
