Panel Discussion Held
On Child Welfare
CONTINUED from page one)


Miss e. Kathryn Pennypacker,
chief of the Bureau of Social Ser
vices of the State Department of
Public Welfare; Miss Elizabeth
Townsend, director of the Chill
dren's Bureau of Delaware; Miss
Mary Virginia Hurley, Miss Betty
Gibson and Miss Kitty Wilson, all
of the Sussex County Division,
State Department of Public We'll
fare, formed the panel.
Many questions were asked at
the close of the meeting, producing
some lively discussion.
After stating that the child was
the primary concern in the adop-
tion process, Miss Townsend ans
wered question as to whether a
child should be told of its adoption
with a definite Eyes"
She explained that because of a
suitable explanation given the
child, the adopted child may de-
velop a real sense of security and
reply to any grapevine" accusa-
tions, that he was deliberately
chosen by his adaptive parents.
Miss Gibson, protective care
worker, explained question ask
ed her regarding the authority she
exercised in entering homes where
children are abused and removing
the children.
She said that there is a definite
law in Delaware providing this
authority but that a complete in
vestigation is conducted before aEy
action is taken.
She said that frequently false
accusations of neglect or cruelty
are made. She explained one case
in particular where complaints
were made simply because some
one else wanted the children. She
said also, in keeping with the gen.
eral theme of the evening that ev-
erything possible was done to pre-
serve the home and the children
were only removed for their own
good when every effort to make the
home liveable for them had been
exhausted.

Postmaster Jos. J.
Pedrce Urges Early
Christmas Mailing
CONTINUED from page one)

Acting Postmaster Pearce says
that if you will follow these three
simple rules, you are certain to
have your gifts delivered before
Christmas Day: Wrap them Sc
curely, Address them correctly,
End Mail them early.
When mailing your Christmas
cards, use the free labels from the
Post Office reading, "ALL FOR
LOCAL DELIVERY" and "ALL
FOR OUT OF TOWN DELIVERY"
BY sorting your Christmas cards
and tying them in two separate
bundles, with the addresses all
facing one way, you're sure to
speed up their arrival.
All Christmas cards should be
sent by First Glass mail, and be
sure to put your return address on
your Christmas card envelopes.
This is not only socially correct,
but will enable both you and vour
friends to keep your mailing lists
up-to.date.
Christmas cards and packages
for out-of-town destinations should
be mailed well before December
10TH. and your Christmas mail for
local delivery should be sent at
least a week before Christmas.
Concluding his appeal for your
help in Mailing Early For Christ
mas, the Postmaster said, 81 am
counting on the lady of the house
to really make this Campaign a
big success. She's usually the one
who selects the Christmas cards,
buys most of the gifts, and sees 10
it that the Christmas mailing list
is up-to-date."

makes a single mistake in reading
the text, Molly is very likely to cor
rect her. Molly already knows ex-
actly how it should go.
Children do not read a book
through once and then put it aside.
They want it read over and over
and over again. A good book be-
comes a cherished possession.
How To Choose
Sometimes grownups don't know
how to buy books for little chill
dren. Mothers and fathers know
the child's likes better than grand
parents, aunts, uncles and miscel-
laneous friends, but even parents
are often uneasy about what's good
for the child
Remember first books are for fun.
If there is any deep down objec-
tive it is to show the little child
that pleasure lies between the
covers of a book Don't buy books
because they teach something.
Books do teach, of course. but the
teaching is secondary to the Joy of
the story itself.
Some of the books we adults read
as children are still good, but
don't forget that many new cres
and good ones are being written
every year. Children's books are
reviewed in the newspapers -usu-
ally the Sunday editions and often
in women's magazines.
Your best bet is to go to good
book store and spend some time
looking over their selection of pic
ture books. If you doubt your
ability to pick out something, espe-
cially if you're maiden aunt or
rich uncle, drop in at the library
and have a chat with the librarian
of the Children's Room. She knows
what books children enjoy.

lovely illustr stions, beautiful for
mat and an amusing story. The
pictures that appeal to the young
child are clear and bright with
the details of life that are familiar.
The pictures themselves must tell
the story. The story needs to be
simple and told with not much
text 1t is not necessary that the
words themselves be easy to read.
Steps to Reading
A picture book is not intended as
first reader, but starts the young
ster on the way toward being a
reader by giving him a love of
books. After the story has been
read to him over and over, you will
see him pick up the book and
"read" the story. He knows every
word, but he reads Jhe pictures, not
the little black marks. He learns
the sound of big strong words that
go with the pictures-words he
couldn't "read" sor years--but he
loves them, and his vocabulary
grows. He may amaze you, like s.
year-old Chris, who took his turn
at a guessing game E%iten the whole
family was in the car: 'I'm think
ing of an amphibian that's green"
he said.
Each child is different from
every other child, but there are
picture books for all. A picture
book is not a toy the little child
enjoys all by himself. Books need
to be shared. Mother or Dad should
look at the book with Molly, read
her the story as the chubby finger
points out the familiar details in
the pictures. Another time Molly
will bring the book over to Mother
snuggle up next to her and open
up the bright pages. If Mother

BLASTS Fears Of
Steel Decline

CHICAGO, Jan. 10 (F.-Tom
Campbell, editor-in -chief of the
Iron Age, national Woodworking
weekly. today said any growing
pessimistic view of steel activity
is not warranted by the facts.
Mr.. Campbell spoke before the
Central States Chapter of the
American Warehouse Associa-
ton.
Talk of a leveling off in steel
activity is gaining ground. the
editor said, and this has created
in some minds a view that we
are headed for a sharp decline
in steel activity"
But" Campbell said. "the
such a pessimistic view of steel
activity this year, nor do thew
suggest a rate of activity lower
than last year"
Mr.. Campbell said much of
the pessimism is based on the
size of steel buying by auto
manufacturers, adding, "auto
makers will not know for sure
how spring car sales will go for
another few months. The droopy
feeling which some people have
about business is a temporary
case of butterflies in the
stomach

said.
Mr.. Minteski said the author

was l for l as late as l947. Many
facilities are worth much more
than when they were built.
George Washington Bridge built
for SIS million could not be re-
placed for lass than 5000 million,
he said. Lincoln Tunnels two

and $50 million. yet a third tube

Humphrey JoIts Theory
Widely Held in Business

politicians and businessmen. The
theory is that people and cor
porations would thus have more
money to spend. and by spending
would restore business activity
The secretary blasts at this
theory by saying taxes shouldn't
be cut if that means operating
the government at a deficit and
thereby initiating money and
credit-which all too often leads
to lacking up the cost of living.
Any business recession would
quickly drop Treasury revenues,
since these are largely based
on income tax payments by in
dividuals and corporations. The
new budget anticipates a treas
ury surplus of SIT billion-but
only if tax collections rise as
a result of a further increase
in personal and corporate in
comes.
Many businessmen contend
that the time to cut taxes is
now when business activity is
high. They argue that this would
increase activity, thereby swell
ing personal and corporate in
comes, SO that the Treasury
would have more to tax--even
if at lower rates-and thereby
end up ahead on the deal.
Humphrey Differs
The Treasury secretary doesn't
buy this one. He thinks high
taxes will help him trim the
Federal debt. Moreover, many
economists will prefer his other
idea, that the best way to cut
the debt would be to trim gov
eminent spending instead of
increasing it year by year.
But skeptics in the business
world doubt if Secretary Hum
phrey's views will prevail with
the politicians. There is too
much pressure for deral
spending to aid this. that and
the other sector of the economy.
