Your Child
Today
BY DOROTHY v. wHIPPLE MD.

By DOROTHY v. WHIPPLE MD.
It's a big day when your not-so-
long-ago baby goes off to first
grade. The day is important to
you and it's also important to the
child. But It's meaning is very
different depending upon whose
eyes you're looking through.
To you as mother it's the first
big break with your child. Up to
now you have looked after him
all the time. True, he's been
around the neighborhood, maybe
he's even been off on a trip or
two, but he hits home base fire.
quently and it's always you he
comes to-. You've always been the
one who fixes the bumps and
scratches, you've had meals ready
and settled the squabbles with
other children.
Now he's off and it's the be-
ginning of a new set Of loyalties.
There will be the Teacher.
You might as well face it.
Teacher is going to take over
some of your place.
You are still important, there
Is still plenty for you to do, but
you're just wee hit less i'm
portant to your child than you
were before.
It's a good idea to stand back
and look this fact squarely in the
eye and then accept 1t.
From the day your baby is
born until he is a full grown man
Cor women) your child is busy be-
coming independent of you.
Things happen so slowly and gradu-
ally that sometimes you hardly
notice how much your child has
grown to depend upon himself.
Then comes along an event like
going to school and all Of q sud-
den you realize with a bang that
you haven't a baby any longer.
Some mothers find this hard to
take. During the years of the
baby's complete dependence such
a mother has come to feel i'm
portant, perhaps more important
than she ever felt before. It's
q nice feeling to know that you
count. It's hard to give 1t up.
But IL you are really going to be
the truly good mother you want to
be you have to gradually fade out
of the picture and let your child
become independent Of you. The
better job you do the more COM
pletely unemployed you will some
day be. :,
Because your child has started
first grade doesn't mean you re
unemployed yet. There are years
ahead when you're still top Of the
heap. 81
From now on, however, the
school is going to share your
responsibility for your child.
One Of the ways you can nep
your child most is to work along
with the school and never against
ii. Never put your child in the
position of choosing between you.
Get to know your child's teach
er If you can. Understand why
she does what she does. Always
speak well of her to your young
ster.
Now maybe your Bill's teach
or does handle the children badly.
Not every teacher in this country
Is good. If you really think this,
get busy in the Parent.teacner
Assn. and do something about II.
In the meantime help Bill respect
FER and he will get much more
from his time in her room tnan

The Veterans
Corner :

Here are authoritative answers
from the Veterans Administration
to four questions of interest to
former servicemen and their fami-
lies: -

ernment under some other pro-
gram. ! plan to enroll in a land !
grant college, which gets Federal
funds from q non-VA source. Would
/ still be permitted to take nv
training under the Korean CT Bill?
A. Yes. The fact that the Gov
ernment provides funds to land
grant colleges would not deprive |
you Of your rights to enroll under
the Korean CT Bill. The ban on |
duplicate payments would apply |
only If you yourself were to get |
money from two Federal sources

A. II you fail to select a method |
Of settlement, the insurance money |
will be paid to your beneficiary in |
36 equal installments. Your bene-
ficiary, however, would have the |
right to choose some other settle

Recently I set up a small business

home. Do ! have to count all the
money ! make from the business
as income, for pension purposes?
A. No. In computing the income
from your business, you are per-
mitted to deduct necessary ex-
penses Of carrying on the business.
It is your net income that counts,
not your gross income.
@. Would it be possible to At
tend a cooking school in France
under the Korean CT Bill? This
school is not a college.
A. No. Under the Korean Gl
Bill, veterans may train in foreign |
countries only at accredited col
leges and universities. They may
not enroll in any other type OF
school.

Fund Sharing
Held Unfair
By Local Unit

An overall study by experts of
the Community Chest Federation
including its six member Chests,
looking to improvement and re-
organization of the entire struc-
ture, was approved recently by
the Montgomery County Com
munity Chest and Council Board
of Trustees.
The action stems from a SINH
lar resolution proposed by David
Scull, local Chest president, re-
Gently before a Federation execu-
tive committee meeting, after he
requested $59,500 be added to the
1855 ALLEGATION base. The latter
was turned down and referred
to a special committee, to study
relative needs.
The additional item sought, Mr..
Scull said, was imperative to the
continuance of the Montgomery
County Chest in the Federation,
otherwise it would consider pull
ing out and operating on its own.
Employment of survey firm
to cover the entire scope which
the County Chest proposes is a
compromise move since it is too
late in the year to organize the
local Chest on an Independent
basis.
Inaugurated by the local Chest,

grew into the County's action
within the past week.
Montgomery County has lived
up to its adopted budget for 1854
of $190,274 although its member
agencies requested S279, 1886. The
local Chest received S179,5 ,536
compared to $184,695 in 1858
from the Federation because the
latter did not meet its goal. The
county raised 144,000 in its last
Red Feather Drive. To meet the
$190,274 budget the Board of
Trustees dipped into its $4,000
reserve fund.
Montgomery County sentinel., 1954-11-25

ting the same increase from
Chest funds raised as some of the
other Chests. Mr.. Scull stated
this creates serious public re-
lations situation because the
people want to know why.
He said that in his opinion
Montgomery County made bad
decision, nearly 10 years ago,
when it decided to no longer
participate in the metropolitan
area wide hospital Service
agency.
Although the Federation pro.
cedures did not discriminate
against Montgomery County, the
fact still is, Scull said, that this
county has not shared as well
as other suburban Chests despite
its going over its quota for three
consecutive years. 1t has its own
Health Fund. Only the District
of Columbia is behind Montgom-
cry County in percentage in
crease ALLEGATION from the FEEDER
alton.
Mr.. Scull feels that for the
entire National Capital area
there must be developed a new
answer to- the yearly recurring
problem. Other board members
agree with Mr.. Scull that the
present structure of the Fedora
ton and its relationship to it's
member Chests needs a thorough
evaluation.
Montgomery's resolution will
ask that the cost of the study
be shared by all member Chests
and that definite time period
be set for completion of the re-
port.
Mr.. Scull's original resolution
before the Federation said that
for several years funds raised by
the area-wide Federated Chest
drive, have been insufficient to
meet needs of most of the mem
ber Chests and that there is a
growing dissatisfaction among
these Chests with the percentage
ALLEGATION formula for distribu-
ton of these funds.
In its endeavor to obtain what
it regards as a fairer share of
funds, Montgomery Chest had
previously presented the Fedora
ton with suggested plan for
distribution, whereby the more
money raised by each Chest the
more it would have to spend. The
plan suggests a new formula. No
action was taken on this by the
Federation.
Any move to operate indie
pendently, Mr.. Gull told the local
Board would only be done after
first hearing from the general
public on the proposal. "It is
a community matter and up to
the people to decide" he said.
Asked if he felt Montgomery
County could support it's own
Chest with its present II mem
ber agencies, Mr.. Scull answered,
Il am confident we can do it," It
would take at least two years to
reorganize the local Chest to op-
crate on its own since Red Feath-
er funds raised now are for the
next years budget, he explained.
Last year all member Chests
took a 3 percent cut from the
Federation because of the way
the funds were distributed. The
Countys appeal for more money
from the Federation has been an
issue for several months. It's
first request was tabled in the
hope that a Relative Needs
Study" group of the Federation
would bring in a report before
its budget committee prepared its
1855 distribution. When it was
learned that the study would not
be completed in time the issue
