Helpful Hints
On Children
In 1sf Grade

If your child is about to
enter school for the first time,
you'll want to make this new
experience as easy for him as
possible. Make it exciting in
stead of frightening, says DR..
Rita CAM in the current In
innate Romances, and the
zeSt to learn will remain with
your child for the rest of his
life.
DR.. CAM offers you five
simple suggestions to help the
youngster bridge the gap bet
ween home and school:
Make sure his health is
good. A week or so before
school opens, have the family
doctor examine him thorough
ly, including eyes, ears and
teeth.
2. Acquaint your little one
with what he can expect in
school. If he understands
some of the routine in adj
vance, the change won't be so
bewildering. Never hold up
the teacher as a threat, but
rather as a friends who will
help him.
3. Prepare clothes the night
before, wake the child carly
enough for a leiSurely break

vous. keep calm and don't al
low the child to sense your

Safety Committee. of which
His Excellency Christian A,
Hertar. Governor of the Com
monwealth, is Honorary Chair
man. and the Honorable Rud-
dolph F. King, Registrar of

Chairman, appeals to every

ton for school children of all.
ages, the Committee must also
depend on the motorist for
his Cooperative participation
and support in the program.
The responsibility of the
motorist is great because he
operates a machine CAPABLE
of serious consequences. The
motorist has within his con-
troll the means to accomplish
great good or create tremen-
dous harm. He is expected
to pay particular attention
to the highway while driving
in or near posted school zones
and to anticipate the presence
of children at all times. Ex-
IRENE caution should be the
watchword of every motorist
during the entire school year.
BY nature, the concern of
a parent or guardian for the
safety and well-being of chill
dren is instructive. The Mas
Sachusetts Highway Safety
Committee relies on this pro-
tective influence and urges
parents and guardians Of
youngsters who will be at
tending classes for the first
time to exercise statutory con-
troll in full measure as a first
line Of protection against ac-
cidents to children.
Governor Herter and Regis
trar King believe that with
every organization and indivi-
dual citizen working closely as
a team, we will not only
"hold-the-line" against child
accidents but, we will material
ly improve our state-w wide
achievements in Safety-for-
children programs.

Beauty Hints
BY NINA TEMPLE

The doctor says that rest is
one of the best medicines that
can be taken. 1t restores the
whole body, tones it up, Civ
ing one the strength to 90
forward. Quite often a wo-
man finds herself so tired in
the evening that she hasn't
the energy to engage in any
amusement as she can scarce
ly keep awake for any length
Of time after dinner. This is
because she has used up all
of the extra energy she had
in the early morning. At
nightfall, there is nothing left
to go upon. 1t is we'll, there
fore, to take several rest per-
iods during the day, say, three
short maps of fifteen or twen-
ty minutes each. This will
keep her from petering out
when day is done. Each time
she takes a short nap she
regains the energy lost and
starts afresh upon awakening.
Try this THREE SHORT
MAPS A DAY.
If you are good to your
feet tey will be good to you.
Try going barefoot for sew
eral days at a time. Thus,
giving the feet an air bath.
This helps them in many
ways. Another help is to
scrub the feet each night.
Exercise the toes. Then, mas
sage the nails with olive oil.
This keeps them flexible and
prevents that horny condi-
ton that the toe nails take
on with advancing age. Walk
with your toes pointed
straight in front of you and
you will find that you have
acquired the graceful walk
so natural to actresses. Be
good to your feet and they
will be good to you.

SELF-FEEDING purebred cat
tie has been and is a practice fol-
lowed by few ranchers in this
country. One of the first to prac-
tice such a method was the John
Rice Registered POlled Hereford
Ranch at Sheridan, Wyo. In
many visits to the Rice ranch, c..
X. Warren, Powell County, was
impressed with this method of
feeding and now has in opera
ton a method similar to the Rice
operation.
C. K. Com Warren has been
dreaming the last 20 years of a
setup that would be labor saving
and yet get the job done on his
purebred herd of cattle. He has
fed cattle for many years in the
lots by the bucket method in
feed hunks. He hopes that by in
PRODUCING this new method of
self-feeding he can reduce the
cost per animal unit and thus
realize more profit over a period
of years.
In 1949 the operation got it's
