bringing up baby"
Hints collected
BY Mrs. Dan Gerber,
Mother of 5

Even the friendliest baby may suddenly turn
shy at the sight Of a relative or friend
whom he's cheerfully accepted before.
Usually passing stage at 5 months of age)
One reason for this shyness may be the
TACT that baby has come to realize that other
people are different from mother.
Your baby knosCs he can count on you he's
not sure about the others. Suggested helps:
Let baby study visitors from the protective
custody" of your arms. A favorite
hold-toy provides added security.
If you tell cuddle-loving friends to
hold off til baby makes his own advances,
chances are he'll socialize sooner.
Shy babies or sociable babies benefit
from the special care the Gerber people
take to make quality, nourishing foods.
Mr. Dan Gerber gives you an example of
Gerber care:
Fruits with college education.
ut may seem strange, but in many cases
Gerber Strained and Junior Fruits do
get the benefit of college education.
Gerber Agricultural Researchers work with
agricultural colleges and growers to improve
orchards, growing methods and the quality
OF your baby's fruits. What's more, once
harvested, the fruit must pass rigid
entrance examinations for juiciness,
ripeness, flavor and color"

Why SO shy, little one?

Twonew Gerber delights for your darling:
1. Strained Orange-Aprioot juice
delightful companion to the other Gerber
Juices. Delicate and distinctive in flavor
high in vitamin C. And if baby hasn't
yet tried Gerber Apple Cherry Juice why not
treat him to this delightful slipping pleasure.
g. Gerber Meat Sticks. The perfect finger
food for todders. Made from selected
Armour Pork and Beef, nonfat dry milk solids,
they're extra rich in body building protein
Mildly seasoned for wonderful flavor
low in fat for easy digestibity. &RWHIH5I
PLAY with your baby say the child
specialists. Aside from the fun baby gets
from participation, 2-way games help teach
him the big C's: concentration, coordination
cooperation. Then too, if baby learns to
play with you, he's less apt to be shy when
others want to play with him.
Important: Gerber makes over 100 baby
foods: cereals, strained and junior, to meet your
baby's nutritonal needs. We're proud to say:
Babies are our business. -. .

Long Ago In Nuvuio|und

The years from 1924 to 1882
were years of peace between the
Mexican Republic and the Navajo
Tribe, broken by only one short
war in 1929. 1888 was the year of
the falling stars, which the old
Navajos said fcretold the coming
of an era of warfare. Their pre-
dictions were correct and from
1888 until the early 185Os there
was almost continuous war between
the Navajos and the whites, first
with Mexico, then with the United
States.
During the period of peace, both
Navajos and Mexicans prospered
and minor disputes remained min
or. They did happen, however. 1t
was probably with reference to this
time that Hastiin Keshkeli Begay
Adakai of Forest Lake said, "The
Navajos and Mexicans we're not
really enemies. They just stole
stock and womenfrom each other. "
The following correspondence,
File #6O4-61O in the Mexican Arc
hives of the New Mexico State
Records Center and Archives in
Santa Fe, NM, the first a report
by the Alcalde of Jemez, and the
second, the reply of the Governor
of New Mexico, shows the attitudes
of the Mexicans during this period
when troubles arose.

Navajos are doing much harm. They
clean out the houses, so that we
can not bear to investigate. Finally
they carried off six horses from
Santa Ana on the eleventh and in
such bad weather that they could
not be followed and it was only
reported that they took them
through the deep arroyo Of Tanque.

EMPHASIS On
Bison Boom
BY JAY MILLER

This is Jay Miller. Emphasis
World Beat. The buffalo nickel
may have gone but we've now got
a surplus of bison. I'll be back
with this commentary on people and
the times in a moment.
This is Jay Miller, Emphasis
World Beat. Dateline: Tucson,
Arizona. In a recent issue of the
Navajo Indian Tribal newspaper,
THE NAVAJO TIMES, one more
American surplus has come to
light. that of the American bison,
which we usually and enormously
call the buffalo.
The story in THE NAVAJO
TIMES was, in effect, government
press release, offering to anyone
who has 18O dollars and a hankering
for a shaggy beast, one live buffalo
on the hoof FOB either Oklahoma,
Nebraska, or Montana. Although it
seems doubtful that the Navajos
(who were never dependent on the
buffalo culture for hides and meat
as were the Plains Indians) would
want a live buffalo, they were given
the option of buying a dead and
butchered buffalo for 20 dollars.
This would provide them with a
number of steaks and a buffalo
robe.
The story is not without irony,
considering that for a number of
years the US. Army and the De-
partment of Interior tried to
separate the Indians from the
buffalos which sustained them.
This was during not very bright
period in American history when
we were violating Indian treaties
left and right and some were openly
saying the only good Indianis dead

Indian.
The bison today, after nearly
being wiped out by both Indian and
white meat and hide hunters, has
staged something of a comeback.
When America was discovered
there were supposedly so million
buffalos here. A hundred years ago
there were six million, and thenin
1888. after we'd used them exten-
sively for meat for railroad
builders and other westerners,
there were only a thou sand ami mails
left. Congress came to the buffalos'
rescue in 1902 and appropriated
IS thousand dollars to move the
breeding stock into Yellowstone
National Park. This fall, with more
than 5000 animals now on the con-
tinent. the government will sell
233 either singly or in a herd.
Actually, there are enough buf-
faloS around in some places to
form a hazard. There's one herdin
Colorado Springs which grazes ina
field next to the Broadmoor golf
course and a slice there can mean
a nasty choice for a golfer who
may not care to 60 in after his
golf ball. There is not much lovable
about a buffalo. They generally are
smelly creatures with horns and
uncertain dispositions, and can
weigh up to 1000 pounds.
Buffalo hunting was never very
glamorous, Buffalo Bill to the
contrary. The Indians used to fire
arrows indiscriminately into a
herd and wait for some animals
to drop: the white hunters
used repeating rifles in the same
manner. And a modern buffalo
hunt today has all the thrill of
shooting a high powered rifle at
an animal standing in a corral.
Yet the demand for buffalo meat
continues, what with buffalo bur-
gers, buffalo barbecues, and
specially restaurants who want to
serve a medium rare slice of gen.
uine Americ ana. The government
Fish and Wildlife Service will even
sell fresh frozen buffalo meat
ready for the home freezer.
Although the buffalo nickel is
thing of the past, evidently we've
now got a surplus of bison. Jay

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE
commonly-held notion that the
gifted child is odd, eccentric
or emotionally unstable must
now be discarded. The high
10 or genius" pupil is gen.
orally superior in every respect.
Beauty and brains 60 to-
gether. The highly talented
girls tend to be physically more
attractive than their slower
classmates. The popular image
of future Eipsteins and Edisons
who are skinny, nearsighted,
unathletic and socially boring
simply is not true. In fact,
it's Just the opposite.
A clearer picture Of the gifted
child emerges from q significant
166-page study Just issued by
Dr.. Cyril w. Woolcock, princi-
pal Of the Hunter College High
School for the Intellectually
gifted.
Since 1856 the school has
admitted girls with intelligence
quotients Of $50 or over. Al
present, the average 10 of the
student body is las. Psycholo-
gists generally consider 100 the
average 70 and anything over
1870 places the pupil in the
genius" category.
Display Creativity
What happens when you
bring more than 1000 bright
students together and give
them q program geared to their
superior intelligence As car
be imagined. they work harder
get more honors and prizes
and show greater creativity
than any similar school group
In the Nation. The Woolcock
study has shown that the truly
superior child is the potential
leader.
DR.. Woolcock. professor Of
education at Hunter College
has studied the characteristics
of the gifted child for many
years. He has served as CO.
ordinator Of education for the
gifted in the New York State
Department Of Education. Ir
that capacity he made a State
wide survey, working with edu'
Gators and laymen in behalf
Of better educational programs
for gifted children.
His present survey dealing
with Hunter High School sug'
gests that many misconceptions
must be eradicated. Normally
gifted children are not nervous
weak, sickly or maladjusted. Or
If they are, they have beer
made so because their school
or teachers do not recognize
their superior intelligence
Often a child becomes bored
frustrated and emotionally dis
turbed If he Is not challenges

Main characteristics
Here are the major char
