About 100000 children swallow

Three fourths of these children
are less than two years old This
is the age when children will put
anything and everything into their
mouths. They will chew. on objects
which are too big to fit in their

The most basic method of pro-

Use high shelves or a locked

as bleaches, lye. garden sprays, rat

Graduates List
Pick Of Gifts
APP Newsfeatures

What are the popular gifts for
graduation? Should the gift be a
frivolous one? Is it more impor-
tant to send young people off to
other ventures begged down with
erudition-gifts Of books, language
records, a summer course in a
favorite subject?
Most young people say mo"
They've had it for while, whether
they are going on to college or
out into the big, cold world. So
they'd like a gift that takes them
away from it all. AS one senior
puts it:
"The. greatest disappointment of
my life was to get dictionary
when ! graduated from grade
school. l wanted something that
showed / was getting ahead, like
a fishing rod, gun or water skis.
But dictionary was so unexpect-
ed that / almost cried"
The young man is an excellent
student, but just thought that grad
uation gifts should be tokens of
fun or sentiment
Most popular gifts for young
people at graduation are jewelry,
as these take to engraving and
mark commemoration, with low
ing wishes for the future.
After a survey of graduation
gift preferences around the cOun-
try, jewelry counselor Albert ].
Haase says that watches, special
jewelry designs and fine silver are
high on the list of preferences.
Watches fall into many categor-
les. There are sturdy, inexpensive
fine watches for youthful gradu-
ates, shock-and-water-resistant au-
tomato timepieces, and wafer thin
watch styles. Bracelets are popu-
lar gifts with the girls-scarab
bracelets, in particular.
Gold circle pins, narrow gold
bangle bracelets are high on the
list of first choices.
Many high school and college
girl graduates are making plans
for marriage, so some families fete
them with starter sets of fine sterl-
ing fiatwear, special serving pieces,
silver bowls and trays.
Among young men, two new jew
elry items have appeared to rival
cuff links and tie bars as most
wanted gifts. They are rings and
tie taos. Graduation rings run the
gamut from the simple gold signet
or initial rings to those set with
stones in rugged settings. The tie
tao is a modern descendant of
grandpa's stick pin, and these are
popular with the boys-gold enam-
eled bugs to tiny chip diamonds.
Other gifts that girls might set
their sights for, with some gentle
hints to dad, nom, and those gen.
erous aunts and uncles, include: a
course in modelling, (this may
teach poise, graciousness, other as
sets to the adult world), week
end at a dude ranch or cruise or
other all-expense-paid vacation
and fur piece.
Boys have been known to get
such graduation prizes as cars from
indulgent relatives. But give boy
who is interested in the outdoors
an outboard motor, fishing rod,
camera, gun, boat, bird book, BIZ
noculars and you've made him a
happy lad. It's a good idea to size
up the boys hobby or needs before
selecting his gift.

The Robbins eagle. (Robbins, Ill.) 1951-1963, 1959-02-28

The Non-Partisan Party in its
traditional democratic way held
its nominating caucus in the
offices of Judge Thos. Murphy.
Owing to the extreme import
ance Of the coming election
much deliberation was taken
before the following candidates
were chosen:
JERRY BOLDEN of 1920 w.
McBreen, a past organizer of
the Robbins Home Owners AS
ISOLATION and also it's former
treasurer, is a machinist en-
ployed by the Western Electric
Co. He was unanimously NOM
mated for trustee. Though re-
siding in Robbins only a few
years; those years have been
eventful and fruitful ones. So
outstanding have been his eff
forts that he was appointed as
Democratic Captain of the 18th
Precinct.
SAMUEL WILSON who re-
sides at 13Sth and Clifton Park
and considered an old timer in
the village, having reared and
educated a large family in this
area, was selected as a candi-
date. Mr.. Wilson is plumber
and sewer man by trade and his
contributions to this village are

manifold. Though this is his
first try for political office he
has long been a political fighter
for the things he deems right.
CLARENCE ELLIS, who re-
sides at 1906 Kildare is a
master painter and decorator
and is employed as a painter
foreman when not engaged in
contracting for himself. Mr..
Ellis was defeated in his last
attempt as candidate but ac-
copied eaerly this opportunity
to run again and try to be of
service to the village.
To the careful observer it
will be apparent that the Non
Partisan Party has taken into
consideration the good and well
fare of the community. We have
tried to give to the public men
whose geographical locations in
the villae will better fit them
to know the needs of their i'm
mediate vicinities. We have
picked them from standpoint
of educational backgrounds. We
have picked them them for their
ability to achieve with their

have picked them because they

of men who are open-minded

John o. Duncan, vice presi-

it will take another three days

by Frank L. Colbert at the cor.
ner of Macarthur and Cushing.
The journey began on the
grounds of the Georgetown Day
School.

Mr.. Duncan said the delay
was caused by concern for the
aqueduct which runs beneath
the center strip. The Army En-
gineers insisted the house clear
the strip by 40 inches.

thing happened to the aque-
duct, Washington's water sup
ply would be gone in three
hours" Mr.. Duncan said.
Steel bridgework was used to
keep the house at the proper
height.
This was the most back
breaking job we have ever
handled" Mr.. Duncan said.

most exciting. Last week we

The councils action was
taken on the recommendation
of a committee, headed by Dis
|trict Welfare Director Gerard
Shea. which had been APP
pointed last year to consider
the move.
In his report to the council.
Mr.. Shea said the question of
coordination of social agency
services was outside the scope
of the committee. Mr.. Shea. in
discussing his report, pointed
out that social workers are
specialists and cannot be ex-

for dealing with social problems
in a number of areas. This
comment was in response to a
question from a council mem
Der as to why one social worker
could not be assigned to a null
