Summer Is an excellent
time to encourage children to
develop coordination.
If your little boy is awk-
ward at throwing and bat
ting balls; If your little girl
is awkward at hop-scotch or
jump rope, you may be able
to find some other child to
help provide practice.
School Fairgrounds and
summer recreation depart
ment programs afford many
opportunities in this field.
They have trained SUPER
visorS and equipment for the
various activities,
Through practice your
child will discover that his
body can be made to do his
bidding. This confidence is
an important part Of good
mental health.
CAUTION: It Is best not to
try to make your child a
champion. Being second or
third best Is not failure. At
this age sports should be fun.

Is your child afraid to play

These are the Skills that

ordination.
And coordination is more
a matter Of development and
training than most people
think.
A first-grade teacher noted
that several children in her
room did not enter into
games on the playground. I
suggested that they might
lack the coordination neces-
sary for success in the games.
She tested them in climb
ing jungle gyms and batting,
throwing and catching balls.
Their lack of coordination
and confidence was evident.

outlay Of cash. She can start
a bookshop, an antique shop,
a candy shop-if she will use
her wits. And one way to use
them is to organize a COM
pany Of, say. three retired
spinsters.
In the case Of an antique
shop, one could do the buy
ing. one the selling, one the
promotion and management.
The cash outlay needed to
start any small shop could
be met better from the small
savings Of three women than
one. And since the women
presumably have retirement
income to support them, they
could wait for profits to
start rolling.
Some other possibilities:
The retired secretary or
bookkeeper, willing to work
for less, can nearly always
find jobs with small real es-
tate offices, lumber yards.
auto agencies and such. Not
big ones, but small ones at
the outskirts Of town. It
takes some hard looking, but
the jobs are there.
The retired store clerk
should follow suit.
The retired teacher can
look to the private schools
(Which often have no retire.
ment age), to the textbook
publishers, to encyclopedia
companies.
Not just for the money.
Such activities offer the best
opportunity to have an in
teresting time.

Comforting thoughts. When it

like their clothes soft, easy to get

With summer days showing longer rays, tan
ming sessions are in order for sun-bathinq
beauties. Suggestions for the soft-skinned set:
Timely tip. Start with two minutes the first
day, divided between topside and backside.
increase by two minutes each day. Limit ex-
posure to 30 minutes no matter how tan you
think baby is.
Position counts. When baby's on his back,
the top of his head should be toward the
sun, eyes away from direct sunlight A pad on
dry ground is preferable to baby's carriage.
