nurses and doctors. Others will
take up studies that win train
them to become efficient in all
departments Of any hospital.
Being normal boys and girls
they laugh and are concerned
about growing up and how to
become well adjusted and well
liked.
One girl told me she wished she
wasn't so shy. She wished she
could go in a room and laugh and
talk with the patients like her
friend Artie does.
She, Joyce, does not realize
that her shyness is her most pre-
cious possession. She is meek and
humble, naturally. There is no
pretense, she is herself at all
times.
Kay, another one of the girls,
was inclined TO be a little loud,
She was self-conscious Of her voice
as soon as she had talked with
few of the other girls and de-
cided she was what one nurse had
called her. an exhibitionist.
That was not her real self for
Kay was naturally modest, but,
being here among so many other
girls and boys she felt full of
fear that she would not be able
TO hold her own" so, instead of
being herself, she decided she
would make" them see and hear
her.
Fortunately for her, the nurse
made her see how wrong it was
to try and be something you are
not. She looked at Joan sitting in
the room with a group taking in
her every word and wished she
could be like her.
Joan was telling the group how
she had fought an inferiority COM
pick ever since she had entered
high school. / heard her saying,
"all Of my life I have been leased
because l have very large ears.
One day was almost in tears
until boy came to my rescue
and told me that Clark Gable had
big ears and look where he isl
From that day on have for
gotten my ears and am enjoying
life. have completely lost my
inferiority complex and no one
leases me any more because ]
ignored them a time or two and
since they can't hurt my feelings
any more they have stopped try
ing to"
Listening to snatches of their
conversations decided this volun-
teer work was going to be good
for all Of the teen-agers. They
are not old enough to resent their
friends help and they speak quite
frankly to each other about their
shortcomings. THEY HAVE A
DESIRE TO improve themselves
and to be Of service to those who
so gladly accept il,
The patients really look forward
to seeing the young boys and
girls making their rounds. They
say the youngsters bring in "a
breath Of spring.
BE yourself at all times and
you will get along.

4 WANT MY CHILD TO KNOW
ILOVE HIM!

Il ACN
My wife and I were sitting out
on the porch one evening and ]
was saying 10 her, Susie, I am
not going to make the same mis-
take with our little son, Jack,
that my father made with me-.
Surprised, Susie said she didn't
know about any mistake. So, I
said, until / was six I thought
I hated my father. II seemed ali
he did was come home from work
to scold or spank me, so l avoided
him as much as possible.
He must have noticed It for I
overheard CD him say to my
mother, Please don't keep tell
ing me every night when I get
home all Of the things Jackie has
done that you want me to spank
him for. Try to correct him your
self, sometimes, and IL he gets
out Of hand then l will gladly
take over, but l feel he is be-
ginning to hate me. don't want
him to hate me or to think Of me
as that man who always spanks
me You are doing me an injustice.
Mother told him she had thought
of 1t that way but she wanted our
son to feel his father loved him
and would start at once to see
that Jack was given a chance to
KNOW his father loved him.
So, being young, I soon forgot
my childish fear OF being punished
so often by my Dad.
Now, with our little son, / want
him TO know from the first that
love him, too, as much as you.
l do not mean he is to grow up
half raised, but I am trying to
ask you to help me correct him
when YOU feel II is necessary,
but / won't have him afraid to
talk TO me or come to me for
fear of being punished. l, too.
love him dearly please do not
give him cause to dislike me as l
did my father
Let us share his love and not
leave the punishment to either one
OF us, alone. We have a great re-
sponsibility to raise a child so he
win love and respect us as his
parents, not love one and hate
the other.
l want to profit by the mistake
my parents made, not intention
ally, but thoughtlessly.
Fathers, especially, work hard
TO show your children love you.
They are with their mother all
day. They know she loves them,
even thought she does correct
them, they know she is there to
comfort and ease every hurt they
get.
Your time with them is short,
at the best, so make 1t worth
their while TO want TO be with
you by being as kind and loving
as much as possible.
Your Dad works hard, 50 chill
dren, help him carry his load by
doing all you can to make him
happy. He only asks that you
grow up to be the kind Of boys
and girls that win make him proud
to call you, my son or my
daughter.

BOWLING HINTS

Some bowlers make the mistake
Of thinking that to be an expert
bowler one must roll or develop a
hook. True the hook does mix and
spill the pins, but it is not always
advisable to adopt this form OF
delivery especially before one has
learned the fundamentals of bowl
! ing which enables one to hit the
one-three pocket and to pick up
spares consistently.
Many bowlers who attempt to
develop a hook or curve when they
are stil learning are not only poor
spare bowlers but seldom hit the
pocket" If these bowlers would
be satisfied with rolling a straight
ball until they become good spare
bowlers and until they learn TO
place the ball for a fairly good
pocket hit" they would find that
when the time comes to adopt a
more effective ball, they would be
able to utilize it to greater ad-
vantage because Of the increased
control they have developed.
A premature attempt to adopt
an unnatural curve is apt TO throw
the bowler off in some phase Of
the game. Bear in mind that many
experts roll a perfectly straight
ball. For them it is the secret of
success, and it may be for others
too.
It is much easier to bowl straight
at a mark than to aim to the right
or left of it as is required with a
curve ball. The straight ball makes
aiming and hitting easier.
