After she's run the gamut

said Mr.. Whitney. Consumers
don't go steady with supplies"
any more, they like to change.
It's a challenge to manufac-
turers to make a better prod
uct so the consumer will buy
more and more. he went on.
1T reminds me of what the
King of Sweden once told a
group of visiting American
businessmen. He said he knew
now what made this country
great. You make people want
things before they need them"
Products used to be based on
consumer demand, he stated.
Then the big thing was con-
sumner acceptance but now the
trend has switched to con-
sumner expectancy because
things get obsolete fast in
this land Of ours"
It's the job of the home
economist to interest the con-
sumner in what she buys but to
give her a freedom of choice
which is the basic difference,
he stated, between our way Of
life and that of communism.
Keep the American house,
wife constructively discon-
tented" he concluded, by tell
ing her about new products,
new services.
Creating q New Product
"A new product, properly
advertised and promoted, can,
through the creation of con-
sumner demand, find its needed
space even in today's already
crowded food stores" Walter
Moore, vice president, Corn
Products Sales Co.. told HEIBs.
Most new products are not
really new, but improvements"
he said. Although some Of the
improvements are so radical
there's little to identify them
with the original"
He took as an example a new
product of his own company
:. +. a fabric Softener. They
felt they couldn't miss on it
:. but still had to get the
consumer to buy it +. use it.
Selling a really new prod
uct requires a great deal of
education. Some Of the house,
wives confused it with a
bleach, others with a deter
gent. Then there's the mental
block Cd lack of interest in

Everyone is invited to a
birthday party for a truly de-
serving 8-year-old.
The time is Sunday from 2
to $50 pm. the place, 1906
Fifty eighth avenue, Berwyn
Heights, Md.
The birthday child: the
Brookland Child Center.
Established in 1913 by Miss
Dorothy Anne Doyle, it is a
nonprof1t organization with
the purpose of rehabilitating
retarded children.
The center, Miss Doyle
points out, is the first such
facility to have been founded
in that area.
Fall classes in this special
school for youngsters from 6
to II have been in session since
last Monday.
They include handicrafts
and needlework, music appre-
citation, drawing and paint
ing. reading readiness, simple
number work, and geography
and history presented in
story form to fit in with cal
endar holidays.
Trips to the zoo and the
Smithsonian Institution, and
periods in front of the televi-
sion set for suitable children's
programs are also a part of
the curriculum.
Starting with three pupils,
the enrolment has built up
gradually.
There are at present Is at
tending, but that number will
be increased during the next
six weeks as careful interviews
with parents and prospective
pupils are completed.
The achievements of the CEN
ter in the past eight years can
not be measured in terms Of
enrolment.
The important thing is what

Youngsters who had never

Others have been made. &C.

public schools.
Children, once imprisoned
by emotional limitations. are
being educated to freedom

lives. assume constructive roles
in their community.
This is what holds me in
my work." says the soft-voiced
Miss Doyle. whose time-de-
handing enterprise is mot
breaking even"
The Mothers Guild of the
center, which is giving the
party on Sunday, has plans
for Embarrassing in the coming
year.
The first benefit activity will
be a Halloween dance on Hal
loween night at the Presiden-
tial Arms. to which the public
is invited.
Miss Doyle has a "big
dream" for her birthday child's
future: Expansion.
She hopes it will be possible
to erect new buildings on the
land they now have, mot so
much to house many more
children as to provide better
facilities for those who at
tend"
There is also q problem with
teachers, who must be spe-
cially prepared for this type of
work.
But Miss Doyle, herself a
teacher for almost 80 years.
says that more teachers are
now being trained in this line.
And she expects the shortage
to be greatly alleviated in six
or seven years time.

Many of my readers believe
that if they don't find happi-
ness in marriage, they should
divorce their partners. Mrs.
E., for instance, sends me a
long story Of her dissatisfac-
ton. "All that ! ask is happi-
ness" she declares. Il think
you will agree that I'm at least
entitled to that"
Many residents of the United
States think the Declaration Of
Independence guarantees them
the right to happiness. They
ought to read that historical
document more carefully. It
merely guarantees them the
right to pursue happiness. No
one can guarantee that you'll
overtake happiness. Mrs. e.
Your success in that might de-
pend on whether you would
really recognize happiness
when you see it.
Is happiness the justification
Of a marriage as is now widely
supposed? Many scientists
seriously doubt whether the
happiness of one individual is
the last word in matrimony
Should not the concern Of
each individual rather be with
the growth of all personalities
involved in any relationship"
William M. Smith, jr., asks.
What's your answer, Mrs. E.?
William l.. Kolb has a slight
ly different approach. New
experience and personality
growth are the tests of a hap
py marriage" he asserts. What
do you think of that sugges-
ton, Mrs. E.? Could you be
happy if you felt that you were
getting a lot of new experiences
and the growth of your per-
sonality in marriage? Or is
your idea Of happiness that Of
q child who wants to have her
own way, be taken care of, and
not be asked to assume any
unpleasant responsibilities?
This question of what makes

our problems nowadays, Mrs.

sible to say unequivocally that
nuclear weapons tests as car

not constitute a health hazard
to the human population, in
sofar as radiostrontium is con-
cerned, and it is believed with
good reason that radiostron-
tium Is likely to be the most
important of the radioactive
ties produced. 1t is well to note
that since radiostrontium is

stitutes essentially no genetic

DR.. Libby says that, while
the main part of the radioac-

ard" But he adds that all
weapons tests "are conducted
with great attention to this
and the other dangers" and
that the Local, precautions
taken should be entirely ade-
quate and the worldwide
health hazards from the pres
