Parents Con Prevent ChiAA,su Jsa,s
By LEONA MAUGHAN

he is being lied to, and he cannot tell
when his parents are speaking truth
and when they are lying, for the same
tone and expression are used in both
the threat and the promise.
Do not lie to your child! The more
intelligent a child is, the more con-
fused and upset he is by lies and eva
Sions from the ones he wants to trust,
and the sooner he will learn deceit
and evasion.
New Brothers, Sisters
Perhaps his insecurity stems from
the entrance into his life of a younger
brother or sister. Did Billy give his
crib, his high chair and other things
that have always been his alone to
the younger child? No matter how
carefully he was prepared for the new
conner, the new baby did not turn out
to be the exciting playmate he secretly
planned and hoped he would have.
No, the baby is tiny, helpless, use
less creature who gets a great deal
more of Mothers and Daddy'S atten-
ton than Billy could ever have imag-
ined. The baby smiles and everyone is
enchanted. Billy smiles, he laughs, he
does all his good and clever tricks but
he feels he does not get the same adj
miring attention. He cries, he is de-
liberately naughty, or he has q tan
trum and he get scolded or punished
Immediately. It may not make him
happy. but he knows he has been
noticed.
Patience and understanding of a
child's moods after the arrival of an
other child is a must. 1t is a difficult
adjustment he is making and his own
feeling of self-worth must be kept in
balance if it is to be made any easier
and quicker for him.
Teach Confidence
Perhaps your child's fear of being
left behind began when he staged a
first rate tantrum that frightened you
and your husband into showing enough
concern that the child learned real fear
with no one understanding just how
it began. Children learn early how to

read to him for a short time and stay
with him until his parents return, can
be as enjoyable an experience for the
child as the evening away from home
will be for his parents-if the parents
and the sitter believe it enough to
help the child believe it and enjoy
it, too.

Every Home Needs
A Business Center

A SURVEY OF 500 Montana rural
households in As counties showed that
in many homes, records and business
supplies were kept in bedroom draw
erS, on living room tables, in kitchen
cupboardS and often in boxes. Though
more than half the families had a
desk, only 40 per cent of these used
any filing system. Some desks we're
family catch-alls More than Is per
cent of the families kept business ma
terialS in pasteboard boxes. Another
Is per cent owned filing cabinets. Many
families mentioned dissatisfaction with
their present arrangements for bust
ness work. Some said they neglected
letters, records and other work for
lack of convenient place to do it.
The remedy is simple and can be
costleSs-a home business center. The
essentials for a business center are:
I'd An ample, comfortable writing
counter and 90 a chair with back sup
rent records and supplies within finger
tip reach; (D another place nearby for
back records; 50 good light, and 60
such accessories as waste basket and
pencil sharpener. Briefly, have all you
need-but only what you need-where
you need it.
Most families want a desk for writ
ing with shelves and drawers for stor-
age. Most want it in the living room,
though some homemakers find the
kitchen more convenient location and
some like the privacy of a bedroom.
A large farm enterprise may need a
separate office room with standard of
flee equipment.
Families interested in easier home
business can plan inexpensive, home
made cabinets and writing counters.
Do you have such business center?
We would like to know about it.
What to file in your center? Here are
some headings for current files: Ac-
count books, addresses, automobile rec
Ords, bank deposit slips, bank state
mentS, bills paid (receipts); bills to be
paid, cancelled checks-current year;
equipment guarantees; equipment in
Structions; food records; health rec
ords; income tax returns; insurance in
formation; letters-answered and I'M
answered; tax forms, and lists of valu-
able papers in safety deposit boxes.
Some families have separate files for
farm business, home business and per-
sonal business.
Accessories for every business CEN
ter are account book, blotters, calendar
preferably desk calendar for appoint
ments, dictionary, eraser, personal and
business stationery, file folders, lamps,
pen and ink, pencils, postcards, small
files for addresses or recipes, stamps,
waste basket.
These may be primer pointers to
wives with secretarial training, but
the countrywide survey shows that
many households would run more easily
by taking advantage Of these simple
suggestions.

even for a short time. This is par
ticularly true of an only child or of an
older child after the arrival of the
new baby. Yet, obviously, his parents
cannot always be with him even though
his terror distreSses them also.
Children are born with only two
basic fears, yet it is doubtful if any
one grows up without developing other
fears as they live their every day ex-
periences of home, school and COM
munity life. Parents must help the
child understand the protective fears
such as the fear of being burned if he
touches the stove, or the fear of being
struck by a car if he ventures careless
ly into the street. They must also help
him overcome the painful, unnecessary
fears-fear of the dark, fear of being
left alone in his room with the door
closed, or the fear that his parents
will not come back when he is left
with someone else.
Beware of Teasing
Many things in a child's experience
affect the development of fears. Adult
neighbors and friends often contribute
to the causes. Some people know of no
other way to amuse a small child than
to tease him. We would not allow
these people to strike our children,
yet, how often do we sit calmly by
while someone tells our child that his
parents have just given him to them,
or that ''Now that Mommy has a new
baby she will have to give you away?
These people often tease and harasS
crying child for several minutes,
leaving him with vague doubts as to
his own security which he cannot I'M
derstand or explain.
An older child often terrorizes
younger child into docility during play
by frightening him with all kinds of
childish imagery. The parent, though
angered upon learning of these acts,
must be careful not to make matters
worse for the younger child by unwise
scolding or punishment of the older
child. 1t takes very subtle and clever
approach to influence a child's domino
ton of another child into desirable
channels. But I will not 60 into this
problem here.
Avoid Threats
Usually the fault lies with the par
ents themselves. How often have you
punished your child by the threat of
giving him to the ''boogy man. or
just not letting him be your little boy
any more if he doesn't act better.
These and all similar threats to his
love and security seriously undermine
his morals. They are direct blows be-
meath the belt.
l do not mean that a child should
not be told truthfully and matter of
factly that if he does not come home
from Johnny's house before o'clock
he will not be allowed to go to grand
mothers or that too much dessert
will give him a stomachache. These
are sane and obvious results of certain
actions.
Yet, no matter how dirty Billy be-
comes we are not going to give him
to Mrs. Jones to bring up with her
noisy brood, or have a policeman put
him in Jail if he doesn't eat his break
fast. When child is told such things

WHY COLLEGES AND
UNIVERSITIES SHOULD
SUPPORT ExTRA-c URRIcULA
ACTIVITIES AND SPORTS

Colleges and universities should
support extra-curricula. activities
and sports. This is our firm con-
tention and we feel justified in
expressing this belief.
There is more to securing an
education than merely gaining
book knowledge. There are many
things that are not found in text
books that a student may learn.
This "extra" knowledge may as
sist him directly or indirectly in
his future.
Extra -curricula activities en-
nance the academic program OF a
college. They provide scholastic
rivalry, the principles Of learn
ing to cooperate as body, and
provide an outlet for creatlveness
and enjoyment.
Contrary to the beliefs that
sports are detrimental to the aca-
demic standing of college, we
feel otherwise. First, we must adj
NIT that intercollegiate sports
have been the object of much
bribery and a general low in a
colleges scholastic standing. But
there are reasons for this, the
main one being the part sports
play in the program of college.
Primarily, and paramount
above all else, a colleges purpose
is to educate. After this main pur-
pose has been met, then college
may develop secondary purposes.
When sports occupy the most inn
portant position, then they should
be banned.
A college which sets sports up
as the "come- on" to, high school
students and forgets about the real
purpose of its founding, should
close it's doors and dispense with
the idea Of instructlng. We are not
against college coaches bidding for
prospective athletics; this is one
way Of having winning, or at
least a very good team. But when
these coaches seek only personal
glory, by way of literally snatch
ing a high school player from un-
der the nose of another coach
without as much as an inkIing Of
what kind of student the athlete
is enthusiastically, then he should
be removed.
Both extra-curricula activities
and sports tend to develop in one
way or another. We hope that
they will develop in a manner
such as will he helpful to the in
dividual in life.

ELECTION AFTERMATH

The greatest vote of confidence
since the history making vote of
1886 when Franklin Roosevelt won
the presidential election for a Sec
ond term, was granted Dwight D.
Eisenhower last Nov. 6. A n d
though we favored Mr.. Stevenson,
we feal' satisfied to know that the
American voters have faith in the
man who holds the highest po-
Sition in our democracy.
President Eisenhower's re-
election is not a mystery to any
one. With the domestic and inter
national uphsaVaIs the American
voters felt that this was NOT a
time for change in the govern
ment. At any rate, it is difficult
for any opposer to defeat an in
cumbeht when the latter has
gained personal popularity. The
vote last Nov. was not for the
Republican Party as such, but a
vote for a man the people respect
and love.
With the 1856 election now a
part of history, Richard Nixon and
Estes Kefauver loom as the pos
sible opposerS in the 1860 race.
The odds are against Adlai Stew
enSon, now that he has tasted de-
feat twice. If the two major po-
litical parties believed this to be
a tough battle, then they had bet
ter watch for the one in 80. This
will truly be a fight to the finish
the outcome Of which should be
interesting.
