safe riding. A child on too
large a bike has no control
and will crash and be hurt.
You can usually buy two new
bicycles for what one acci-
dent can cost in pain and
anguish. 1t is better to buy
a bicycle that is much too
small than one a little too
large because they can be
traded in like automobiles.
resold to friends and neigh
bors. or passed on to younger
brothers or sisters as the
child grows. Some parents
goof. They say they are only
going to buy one bicycle for
their child, so they get the
fullsize one. When the child
has an accident they may
nave 70 replace a oemollShed
bicycle, or let their child
forever do without one If
they are lucky enough to
still have their child.
The National Bicycle Deal
ers' Association bicycle size
chart recommends a 20-inch
bike for children S to 7 years
old, a 24-inch bike for chill
dren 7 to 10 years old, and
a 26-inch bicycle from II
years to Is. If a child Is
small for his age, he may
never outgrow a 24-inch one.
Take the child to the store
and try the bicycle just as he
would try on new shoes or
clothes. A good name brand
is the best and cheapest to
maintain in the long run.

Poems Wonted
Mrs. D. J. f, BrookepiIle

Mrs. D. J. F., BrookeDille
Can anyone supply me
with two poems? One is
about how the woodpecker
came into being. 1t starts:
"Once when the good st.
Peter was travelling round
this earth. He came to he
door of a cottage where a
little old woman was baking
cakes in the ashes on the
hearth" 1t goes on to say
that she was too selfish to
part with one of her cakes
and st. Peter finally turned
her into the red-headed
woodpecker.
The second poem was writ
ten by Joyce Kilmer and is
the tale of a soldier in World
War I who compares the
pack on his back with the
cross on Christ's back.

To make a pomander ball
you need one orange, a box of
whole cloves, a bit of ribbon,
some orris root. Choose q
firm medium sized orange.
Tie your ribbon around the
fruit (as you would in wrap
ping a PACKAGE, with the bow
on top, and outline the rib
bon with a pencil, then re-
move the ribbon.
Or you may put transparent
tape (the width of the rib
bon) around the fruit. Slowly
and carefully insert whole
cloves, one by one in the fruit,
circling it closely. Do not hold
the fruit tightly or insert the
cloves in a straight line or
the skin will burst. Leave the
space for the ribbon clear. A
bone eyelet punch is good to
puncture the orange for the
cloves. If you don't have one
use a crochet hook or nail.
The cloves are not hard to
insert in the orange.
When your fruit is covered
with cloves roll it in q mix
ture of equal parts Of CHINA
mon or cloves or allspice-
even all three mixed and
powdered orris root. Then
wrap it in tissue paper.
Put the fruit away for 10
days where the air can dry
it out, but do not put it in a
closed space. The orange will
shrink and become very dry
and light but it will not lose
its fragrance. It will keep its
spicy aroma for years.
Tie the ribbon on the
orange, leaving a loop.
1 hope this is what you
wanted and I will pass along
the instructions for using
apples if you like. Also do
you know where orris root
can be obtained?
