Handbook Offers Outlet For Juniors Erergy

Not the least attractive
feature of the projects is the
amount Of juniors time and
energy they will consume.
Parents must be prepared
to supply a little encourage
ment, perhaps ADVICE, a few
coathangers, cardboard and
other bits of equipment.
Some mothers will have to
swallow their distaste for GER
tain creatures - a frog may
get loose In the house.
But these investments are
surely worth the reward Of a
well-occupied child.
The handbook includes
chapters on how to start an
insect collection or a nina
ture zoo Of pond-dwelling
creatures. including instruc-
tions on making your own
net; how to spot and record
animal tracks; how to con-
struct and fill a terrarium;
how to take leaf prints; how
to chart the stars, build a

Children Have Universal
Affinity for the Water
By MARJORIE HOLMES

Those who claim that all life began in the ocean
must surely have children.
;. Even infants have affinity for water that must
spring from deep wells of the past
The baby still too wobbly to hold up his head loves
to be lowered into his bath And becomes the major
event OF his day when he is old enough to be able to
play and splash.
Then when the wonderful world of is discovered
outside the home his ecstasy is boundless-and adamant
Observe the small fry in any wading pool.
Except for the occasional youngster who is terrified
the only screams you hear those of pleasure-or Of
angry protest at being hauled out.
AS they grow older their love for water seems become
more desperate need. "Oh. please may swimming?
Please please, PLEASE!"
And heaven help the parent who for reasons of his
own must deny that frenzed imporng for It is like
buckng natural force that strong the

In fact barely is he dried, fed, and diverted toward
