CHILD TRAINING

(This article is another In

signed to offer guidance to parents.

I series on child training de- All publications are pre-

pared by the Department of National Health and Welfare). Lying and Stealing Part 1

You may be worried because your child lies and steals. You wonder if your training has been faulty of if he has a streak of evil in him. Such actions by your child "ll! be a part of the business of growing up. You can guide him safely through these problems it you understand why he does these things-and then take the neces- sary action.

No Head for Figures-Yet!

Because its hard for grownups to enter into the child's world. par- ents sometimes deal unwiscly with his fancies. calling them lies. Your four-year-old tells somebody he has ”hundreds and thousands of dol- lars" in his bank. He has heard some adult use those words so us?sv them. too. His ideas of iimountsi and quantities are vague. He'll learn to be accurate in tune as he deals with real things and gains on understanding of what they mean.

Some children live in more of a fairy-tale atmosphere than others. particularly those who lack play- mates. If is child hasn't plenty of interesting thzngs tn do and others to ploy with. and lacks lots of warm affection from his parents. he may use his daydreams to give tum badly needed companionship. He may even invent a wicked char- acter whom he blames for his bad deeds.

To meet such imaginative stories. let him know you regard it as a very good story and nothing more by such remarks as "Well, now. that's a very interesting story. But how did you tear your blouse?” Avoid making him feel you don't trust him. --all

You can help him gradually learn to fell the real from the unreal in many little ways. Perhaps one day while waahillg up for lunch he may be full of pretendings. When he finishes his talk. you can say, "That was wonderful make-believe. something I really did this morning. Then you can describe making a batch of cookies. leading him off to lunch-and the cookies. Also."when reading stories to him. point out which stories are "made up" and which are about things that actually happened.

leek the Why's Behind the Lies

He may come home with some pretty wild yarns. or talk big to im- press other children. He isn't telling ice to deceive in an adult grown- up sense. His natural desire to feel important is being denied. 50 he makes up startling stories to get attention. Don't neglect this ap- petite for attention any more than you would his need for food. Alsn give him sufficient toys and play- things. He should have playmates of his own age.

If your child is a chronic liar, seek the reasons. The real prob-

lrni is not uith the lies but tho "whys." Children are not "honest." by nature. They develop honesty by the exlmpieb you set. Remem- ber that point whenever you have him tell a door-to-door salesman you're not in. or make a promise and don't keep it.

Avoid tempting him into lying by asking him such questions as ”Did you write on the wall?" If you are sure he wrote on the wall, show him how it ruins the appear- ance and that you are displeased. His feeling of guilt will be punish- ment enough. If he persists in such action, then deprive him of his crayons, but avoid harshness.

That Body of Yours By James W. Burton, M. D.

DANGER FROM STREET MANHOLES

A few years ago we reported the ill effecis felt by some police offic- crs stationed at very busy corners in Philadelphia; the fumes from the traffic sickened them. After they transferred to a different loc- ation,they gradually improved in health.

Now we read of the death of ii plumbing company -employee in a water main manhole in Indiaii- aapolls. "The manhole where the death occurred is located on a city street in a low, swampy area. For approximately two weeks before the death, someone had cntered tn: manhole twice a day to turn the water on and off. The deceased workman had done this himself without any mishap on the days im- mediately preceding the accident. One day he went down to turn the water off and when he did not come up in the expected time. his part- ner called him but there was no reply. The body was removed in about 20 minutes but there was no response to oxygen and artificial respiration. The coroner reported that death was due to asphyxiation. This death. like two similar ones in a Minnesota town. seemed to have been due to lack of oxygen in the manhole."

The warning is given that "No manhole should be considered safe until in some way it has bees dem- onstralcd to contain sufficient oxy- gen or has. by some mechanical meevris, been blown out with fresh air.'

Manholes, especially those in low or swampy areas are particularly dangerous with respect to l:ick of oxygen. There may be substances in the subsoil that consume oxygen which are not suspected.

Many of us may think that there is apparently enough air spaces in manhole covers to supply all the air and oxygen needed yet the flow of air through these covers is not al- ways sufficient to keep the glr within the manhole in balance with the air outside. other factors which should be considered are change in seasons. 11-ost, rainfall. traffic load, and variations in type or st;-es: surfaces.

The dangerous point about than manholes is that they may be my;

one day. as shown by the fact that the above workman entered the

particular manhole several days in safety. yet (My may become death- trnps overnight if the amount of oxygen becomes too little to sup- port humsn life.

DOROTHY DIX Helping The Ailing

DEAR. MISS DIX: You often advise people who are bored to get out and help others. Perhaps you'd be interested in my experiences along that line. Several years ago I Joined the Massachusetts" Shut-- In society. and even before that. visiting and writing to shut-ins was a hobby of mine. I spent many years at this rewarding work.i Then, unexpectedly I was taken ill myself. I had a bad fall and was in and out of hospitals for three years. However, through the-dark- est days the love and loyalty of my friends have been my comfort. when I tell them I'll be forever in their debt they just say. "You have it coming to you!" Since I know how long hospital d s can be, I am more determine than ever to continue my work for shut-ins. I want so much to do something for the marvelous friends who sustained me, but they won't let me do a thing. I can show my gratitude only by re- donbling my efforLs to help other sick and needy folk.

Mrs. A. TRUE. LASTING FRIENDS

ANSWER: This letter proves that generosity isn't always its own sole reward. The friendship we build up by helping others are the truest and most lasting. Those who have known dark days of suf- fering and loneliness are most ready to come to the old of those similarly afflicted. There are so many needy people in this world that anyone with compassion can readily find someone she can help. I am often asked to name speci- fic organizatlns who can use vol- unteer aid. One's pastor is usually the best person to find the proper outlet for ..particular -abilities. A person fond of young children could be used in the children's ward of almost any hospital. For those with sons, husbands or sweet- hearts overseas, or in service in this country. the Red Cross might have a special appeal. Then there are guilds to help the blind. mission groups working for those who carry the word of God all over the world, and groups banded together to visit the mentally ill, convicts orphanages, and so forth. where help from outsiders is needed.

I do hope that Mrs. A.'s exper- ience will gulde others to an equal fulfillment of charity.

DEAR MISS DIX: My husband and I were divorced three years ago-after ten years of marriage We have four children. I have custody of the children. though he has visiting privileges. Either he comes to see them. or they go to his mother's. where he lives. When they visit him, he spends the entire time telling them things about me that aren't true. The youngsters come home upset and full of ques- tions. The cause of our divorce was flagrant adultery on his part.

Mrs. H.

ANSWER: Take the matter up with s lawier, and through him with the court that awarded the divorce. The father certainly has no right to tear down your chm-. actor to your children. and I'm sure steps will be taken to force him to desist from such tactics.

ELLENIS DIARY.

by an Island

We went rsspberrying with the children this evening to a small uncultivated piece of land not far distant. which edges a bit nl wood- land. These are. we remember. neither the humble nor abundant fruit of once and on these farms are much prized because of their scarcity. There was a time at Alder- lea, when thrifty tangles of the canes over-run blggish nooks and corners of the woodlands but through the years these areas have re-forested or been converted to crop-land. Even in scene of more recent wod-cutting and lumbering, the growth has been discouraged by immediate. clearing of rubbish in an effort to bring the land into

earlier cultivation. .

so quite gone from us there is the sight of those liravy-laden canes we, used to find on berrying excursions of old, with choice fruit red. and in abundance all about, ripe for the picking. And very soon it seemed-for time passed so quickly there in the seclusion and peace of those woodsy places, decked with sun nnd shade. with the August sky lilgh-arclied and blue above. and wnods' melodies about. our berry-pail and dishes would be heaped.

Yet how loath we were to leave when he had just happened upon the best patch of all, the fruit large and lushious! And "Isn't that always the way!" we would laugh with some regrets. faces flushed beneath our wide berrying-hats.

"Did you ever pick berries before there were cars"? Gage asked. searching the canes to glean any tasteful bits of the red.

"Yes. dozen of times!"

"Before there were tractors and trucks and 'planes, and." he glanced toward the roadside where giant modern machinery of road- building now rested, day's work at an end. "bulldozers, and main- tainers and carry-ails like those; Boy, are they powerful!"

"Yes, long before." He looked at us. wonderment in his young eyes.

"And what was it like to live then?" he queried.

"Oh it was pleasant then-in some ways quite as good. even bet, ter than now. Those were the horse and buggy days'." we chuck- led. "And it was as satisfying to own a nice carriage or buggy then as it is to have a nice car now. Al- most forty-five years ago. your great-grandfather bought a driv- ing-wagon with hard rubber tires. It was wonderful for those days

Golfers Wear

Trim Outfits

By MURIEL NARRAWAY Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON, (Cl'-')- Let the putts roll where they may. the eight- wnman British golfing team em- barking for Canada today is equipped to give an immaculate golfing fashions performance.

Tucked away with the British squads irons and drivers are 200 slickly - talloredlsports garments that the designer claims combine "heat-plus-travel wearability."

The team is weather conscious in regarding the six-week North American visit that will include matches in Montreal. defence of the Curtis Cup at Philadelphia and play in the United States women's national championship at Allegh- eny, Pa.

"The heat and humidity may prove to be the team's worst en- emies." said team captain Mrs. Dorothy Beck. However. the ward- robes are also designed to hold their own in the fashion-conscious North American setting.

INTERCHANGEABLE

The girls have three interchange- able outfits conslstlng of narrowed skirts, flgiire-fitting jumpers and chicly-tailored jackets. The Ladies' Golf Union colors are carried out in the dark-grey and sapphire blue combination, an all-white ensemble and a third of larkspur blue.
