BY DIR. JOE T. ODLE.
Editor. Baptist Record

Churches and religious leaders
of Mississippi will be invited to
participate in the observance of
National Library Week, April
1922, according to DR.. Joe t.
Odle, editor of the state Bap-
list weekly, The Baptist Record,
and a member of the Mississippi
Ciizens' Committee for National
Library Week.
National Library Week will be
observed throughout the United
States. Hon. w. N. Ethridge, AS
sociate Justice of the Mississippi
Supreme Court, is chairman Of
the Citizens Committee for the
observance in Mississippi. Miss
Mary Love, associate director of
the Mississippi Library Commits
sion, is executive director for
National Library Week in Mis-
sissippi.
THE churches and religious
leaders of our state are vitality
interested in libraries" DR.. Odle
said. "The library stands as one
of the institutions which is work
ing continually to build a better
community. 1t provides a center
of cultural, intellectual and rec
reational interest, and ministers
with the home, the church and
the school in building character
and lifting community standards
Churches are also deeply con-
cerned about the type of litera-
ture that is being read today
the Baptist editor stated. "They
realize that good literature must
be made available to offset the
cheap. unwholesome and Otter
degrading material now avail
able to almost any reader by
simply visiting a newsstand OF
book-rack."
According to DR.. ode, many
churches have developed then
own libraries, and a few church
es in Mississippi have thousands
of volumes available to then

Word is true - and we who
are Christians know it is true
- that all things work together
for good should be thankful for
everything. Even a sorrow is
a stepping stone that God has
put in our pathway in order for
us to climb higher in Christian
living and Christian experience.
AS the writer looks back over
the years of his life, he can see
clearly that the things that look
ed like the worst things that
could have happened to lin
turned out to be the greatest
blessings of his life. When we
reach the end of the journey and
get into our Heavenly Fathers
house we are going to look back
at our sorrows and troubles in
this world with the same cheer
full attitude that a grown-up
man remembers the little falls
he had and the little bruises he
received when he was a little
child playing about the home.
When we get to Heaven, we
shall remember the worst pain
we ever had with about the
same pleasant memories that we
remember when we lost our first
tooth. Losing that first tooth
seemed like such a big thing,
but now it seems like such d

Suggestions
For StorinQ
COttOns

It will soon be time to
store your summer cottons.
The National Cotton
Council points out you'll save
time and trouble next year If
you put them away in good
condition.
Check your clothing for
missing buttons, broken Zip
pers and any rips or tears.
When summer rolls around
again, you'll be glad you
made these repairs now.
Remove stains and laun-
der. Stains, soil and perspira-
ton left in the fabric may
become set and be nearly
impossible to remove later.
Starch, which may attract
silverfish. should never be
left in a garment.
Fold your summer cottons
without pressing, and pack
them loosely in closed con-
tainerS. Then store in a dry
place to avoid milde W
damage.
Leaving clothes on hangers
for the entire fall and win
ter may cause strain and
weaken the fabric, especially
sheer cottons, at the shoul-
der seams and neckline.

They Call Me Sucker
On the Problem of the Stoy-ot-Honne Mother

Matthews said, Now, don't
worry, my dear. I can see
dear, you really are a sucker"
1 only wish that there was
some other home in our
neighborhood where my chill
dren could go and be re-
ceived as guests. I think they
need the experience of ad-
juSting to the different
ground rules" of another
home. I would like for my
finicky-ea eater son to be a din
ner guest at another woman's
table, to learn to eat dishes
we do not serve in our home.
Job Reaction
why don't you get a job
and leave the other women
to fend for themselves?" I
am often asked. Once I did
try writing a community COL
umn for our local paper,
gathering the news and typ
ing it at home. I wound up
talking over the telephone
all day and worrying about
headlines.
My little son especially re-
Sented losing his mothers
attention. He became both
shy and demanding. His
grades went down at school
alarmingly. So I quit the job.
Then I could spend more
time reading to him. He rose
to the top of his reading
group in the second grade.
And I learned that a young
child needs not only his
mothers physical presence
but he also needs to know
that she is concerned with
his welfare and is interested
in him, too.
Staying at home has en-
abled me to pinch hit for the
absentee mothers. I have
been free to go to hear their
children perform at recitals
and in school plays. 1t is
terribly important for a
child, looking out into an
audience for a familiar face,
to see someone he knows is
roofing for him. A confident
nod in his direction can
mean the difference between
success and failure for him.
Being a substitute mother
has brought its problems, too
those of feeling guilty.
Take the day that 11-year-
old Tommy was waiting for
me on my doorstep when I
came home from the super
market.
"Hi-i-i!" he came running
toward me. Guess what?"
He was so excited he seemed
about to explode. II made
the team!"
"Oh, Tommy" I squeezed
him. I'm so happy for you!

Return of belts, usually
sashed, but sometimes con-

The muted fire of jewelry
for the silhouette-conscious
clothes, with the fire of
rubies, glitter of sapphires,
warmth of pearls.

she smiled affectionately.
Then she whispered earnestly

By KIMBERLY CONRAD
Contributing Writer

The day that my treasured
wall to wall carpet wore
clear through-the thin part
finally torn by a SIN all
neighbor boys rough shoe-I
complained to an older friend
who lives next door:
Don't you think that a
living room rug that cost
$3.50 ought to last more than
seven yearS?"
She shifted: with all the
children you have coming to
your house every day, I'm
surprised that it lasted that
long!" Then she added SYM
pathetically: You know,
dear, you really are a sucker
to baby-sit free for the
neighborhood. Why, those
women ought to chip in and
buy you a new rug!"
She was referring to the
absentee mothers" who live
on our street. Many of them
work, though not one has to
because of economic neces-
Sity. Others spend the day
out playing golf or bridge.
Although we live on a pleas
ant street of $25, 900 homes,
the women seem a m o S t
driven to get out of the
house each day.
Il know I ought to spend
more time with the chill
dren," one neighbor said to
me, "but I get lonesom e
with all the other mothers
working or out, and nobody
over S years old to talk to-"
You hear a lot about prob
lens of the working mother,
but believe me, we stay-at-
home mothers have our
problems, too! Chief among
these is loneliness. In our
block of % houses there is
only one other young mother
who is at home during the
day, and she is frantically
busy caring for her three
young children.
Cookie Duty
My older neighbor has lit
tie patience with my practice
of baking cookies "for the
crowd"
Every day I have warm
fresh cookies ready for my
children when they come
home from school. Part of
their welcome from me is to
be greeted by the spicy odor
of a daily surprise in the
Evening star., 1961-08-27

Certainly it would be cruel
to criticize mothers who
must necessarily be away
from home to earn enough
money to make budget ends
meet. But the women in my
block who work do so from
choice, and usually because
of the extras" that a sec
ond paycheck makes possible.
I have Cub Scouts on my
floor, while they have white
carpets-but somehow I sus-
pect that, even with only one
paycheck to live on, I am far
richer than my neighborS.
So-pleaSe-don't call me
sucker!

oven. But the fragrant scent
apparently permeateS the
entire neighborhood, because
soon I see a group of little
faces looking hungrily
through my kitchen window.
Now, who could refuse a
child a cookie? I know I
can't. My older neighbor next
door reproveS me: Food
costs money. You don't see
any of their maids baking
every day-do you?"
I can only answer that I
do it because I want to. I
fairly bask in the apprecia-
ton of my customers"
Every once in a while,
however, I try to shoe the
crowd to somebody else's
house. One Friday I had in
vited my husbands executive
officer and his wife to din
ner. They are an older couple
without children, and I felt
they would not understand
the disarrayed condition our
house is usually in. So I
pleaded with my five young
guests:
please, gang, just this
once, can't you find another
place to play?"
Seven-year-o Susan said
apologetically: My mother
doesn't like for people to
come in when she's not
home"
A neighborhood boy, Paul,
added: Our maid won't let
anybody in, either"
Familiar Story
1t was the same story
everywhere. Since the rain
was turning into sleet, the
children could not possibly
play outside.
I sighed and accepted the
inevitable. We'll, go into
Lindy'S room, at least" So
they jammed into my
daughters tiny quarters, the
whole group of them.
Unfortunately, however,
that evening I was hurry
ing with laSt-minute touches
to the dinner and did not
hear our guests come in.
Lindy met them at the door
and invited them to leave
their coats in my bedroom
right next to hers. And of
course she had left her door
open! Her room was in chaos
from the afternoon frolic.

"She isn't supposed to get
calls on her job" Then he
looked up at me. Hope you
didn't mind my coming here.
IL just had to tell some
body"
Mother
That's how I was the first
to hear Tommy's big news.
But did not that precious
moment really belong to his
mother? I felt that I had
stolen something very valu-
able from her.
