manufacturers unloaded cars on
them without regard to their needs,
the Bank says. Now, however, deal
ers feel that car manufacturers are
fully aware of and sympathetic to
their problems.
On the other hand, almost every
dealer agreed that there was
nothing about the new-car market
in the spring buying season that
suggested a change for the better
for the second half of the year.
Most of them said that the first six
months looked better than what's
ahead.
Only three of the SO dealers ques-
toned by the Bank said their profit
margin per sale was as high as a
year ago. To point up the serious
ness in the deterioration in earn
ings, half of the new-car merchants
said that they would have to cut
stats and effect other economies
unless profit margins improved.

sIn our family. adoption has

The children adopted as, as much
as we adopted them
That was the way an Alabama
mother summed up her experience

My only regret is that we didn't
start our family sooner. I'd like
to be young enough to take four
more children"
That's what she told the Alabama
Department Of Public Welfare
which. last year, placed 173 chill
dren IN unrelated homes where, in
due time. they will become per-
manent members Of the family
There never has been at a time
in our country when there were
enough babies available for adOp-
tion to meet the demand
Now, more and more people,
eager to be parents Of someone
else's child, are adventuring in the
adoption Of older children and are
getting satisfaction from It.
Most public and private child-
caring agencies know Of many more
older children than babies in need

they'd meet the girls. That turned
the trick.
1--WE wanted to take them straight
home with us" Mrs. d. said "And
we did take them as soon as ar
rangements could be made.
Adopting older children brings
special rewards. both parents are
agreed. "You never have to tell
older children they are adopted"
Mrs. d. explains They've already
sized you up and are fully aware
they had a real part in the whole
plan. II is their decision to stay
with you.
The D's found, too. that taking
two children in family group
makes the whole adjustment less
diflcult. 'The children are already
used TO each other and II helps
each one to talk things over with
the other.
From talking with the DIS, the
Editor Of the Alabama Social Well
fare, who reports their story, comes
to the conclusion that two factors
lie behind their success story:
First. the DIS could accept the
girls as they were-recOgnizing
that their earlier years were part
Of them Second. the D's made no
demands on the girls for immediate
acceptance Of them or speedy adap-
tation TO their way Of life.

"The D's were wise enough to
let their daughters move at their
own pace-and won their affection
by not trying to gain it too soon or
through any sort Of pressure.
Multiplying the chances for many
more children to grow UP belonging
to a family is one Of the exciting
developments in mOdern-day well

Newspapers
Are Beneficial
In Classroom

Someday students may "hit the
newspapers" the way they now hit
the books
After using the newspapers as a
tool of learning" in classrooms of
$50 schools, the superintendent Of
schools in Sank County, Wisconsin,
urged other educators TO try the
same thing.
"Why? Because arithmetic be.
came more meaningful, place geo.
graphy more interesting, reading,
writing and speaking improved, u
according to Supt. Kurt SchoenoH.
"The need for vocabulary study
was enhanced, children became
more aware of the need for high
way safety and school newspapers
sprang up"
Copies of the daily newspaper
were supplied to each school by
the Milwaukee Journal, which
sponsored a book, 1.-THE Newspa-
per in the Classroom.
Once in the schools, the news
paper was used right along with
textbooks. Its purpose was to re-
late book subjects to everyday
events, to cite in" classroom in
struction with current happenings.
Students developed an apprecia-
ton of art by writing action words
to describe newspaper photographs.
Places in geography books took on
new meaning - and were easier
to learn - when they were dis
covered in news stories. Map-mak-
ing got to be fun.
BY preserving headlines of the
most important news, students kept
a running summary of current
events. Other scrapbooks were
kept to supplement civic texts. The
filing and selection of articles
taught youngsters to evaluate and
organize.
In vocabulary and word drills,
newspapers opened up whole new
vistas. Descriptive words and
phrases from news stories came
alive. New words were discovered,
and new ways for using old ones.
In science, where late develop
ments are important, accounts of
new discoveries and findings made
learning more enjoyable. Daily
weather reports led naturally to
studies of barometer, thermome-
tiers, etc.
State and local history was vita
lized through the Newspaper CO.
lumns, with their many accounts
of past events.
'How to do it" ideas were use
full in vocational classes. Citizen
ship training relied on news stor-
les to build interest. Editorials on
highway safety promoted children
to make their own studies of the
situation.

1t is always hard to say good

OF this word to Wallace Coleman

Words cannot and never will ex-

so much to make life better for
the young people of the communi-

thoughts of him will penetrate the

However, the members of the
"center" could not let Coleman
leave without some expression of
gratitude. With this in mind all of
his friends gathered at the "cen.
ter" Sunday, September rs, to ex.
tend him and his family a farewell
party.
AS always Coleman was grateful
and he was not too proud to shed
a tear.
Our loss will be New London
