LUCKY WRONG NUMBER
Providence. ? Dialing a wrong

phort ' number. He dialed back and
got th.1 same plea, then called po

Home Hints
By RUTH CURRENT
MONEY ALLOWANCES FOR
CHILDREN ? To parents: Here
are some hints that are good. Your
long-range goal could be to guide
the child from complete financial
dependence of early childhood to
a state of mature independence.
You'll find that the best teacher
is experience. And one of the most
practical devices for providing ex
perience is an allowance. The way
your children handle money will
shape value* and attitude* tnat
will itay with them all their live*.
Think of a child'* allowance not
a*, a handout, but a* a (hare of
family money normally (pent on
hi* penonal need* and pleasures
that you give to him to manage.
The right handling of money can
teach:
1. Saving*, becauie eventually
he will want aomething that a
(ingle periods allowance won't
cover.
2. Relative value*, becauae he
will have to chooae between (everal
possible purchase( by deciding
which is really worth more to him.
3. Planning, becauae he benefita
by making hia limited amount go
aa far as pouible.
Such leuons will be learned,
however, only if you do your part
properly. (Reprinted from Chang

taction of the public during all
emergencies and when unsafe driv
ing condition! exist.
During the last snow we experi
enced considerable damage to the
road shoulders, overlooks and grass
bays due to illegal use of the Park
way motor road. This damage re
sulted from sledding, skiing and
drivers purposely skidding their
cars on the shoulders and driving
outside of designated roadways.
Additional damage was done by
warming fires being built in the
overlooks without regard for dam
age to pavement.
In view of the foregoing damage
to the Parkway and violations of
the regulations it has become
necessary for the Ranger* to stop
this type of activity on the Park
way.

Assembly Must
Quicken Step
Raleigh ? Although the 1961 aes
lioo of the General Assembly got
off to a fast clip during the first
week of work, the pace will have
to be even faster if It gives reality
to its quiet hope of winding up
business by June 19.
The old adage that "a job be
gun is half done" seems true of
almost everything except law
making.
Experienced legislators point
out that "introducing the bills is
the least of our troubles". It is
the long committee hearings, argu
ment*, and introduction of weak
ening and strengthening amend
ments that are time-consuming.
The average session of the N.
C. Legislature sees the introduc
tion of approximately 2,000 bills.
When one considers that during
the first week of business fewer
than 40 had been introduced, it is
easy to visualize the vast amount
of work which lies ahead.
