Two Party Leaders _ In County Make No Recommendations (Continued from page one) regular registration period and show their right to have their names re main on the books as qualified vot ers in the precinct. Where the party affiliaTTon. agf. rare, ipsideiuv and place of birth are not shown, the election officials will then mail a blank to those persons instructing them to fill in the required informa tion and return the form to the pre cinct chairman before the close of the registration period If the request5 is not complied with then the chair man will remove the names of those persons. The sectiuns covering a revision of the lists have their provisions and exceptions, but at its t>est the plan is seen to carry a great deal of work. Under the law providing for a complete new registration of voters, everyone would have to report to hit. respective precinct registrar or for feit his right to participate in the next primary. It has been pointed out that a new registration would leave possibly hundreds of names off the books, that confusion would be general at voting time. One or the other of the plans will have to be adopted and- the county elections board apparently will have to decide by itself which, .plan to place into effect According to re ports reaching here party leaders in some counties are recommending new registrations while in others they are recommending a revision of tho books Jamesville Home Is Destroyed By Fire The family of Jarvis Waters was burned out early last Sunday eve ning when fire destroyed their home and all the contents Two sheets, two ; pillows and a quilt were saved In addition to their wardrobes and fur niture the family lost a year's sup ply of meat. Members of the family were visit I rng neighbors and when they -discov ered the fire it was burning through the roof. The fire is believed to have started from an upstairs flue The building belonged to Jackson Holiday with whom the fire victims are temporarily making their home. of the loss could be had, but the building was worth between $800 and $1,000, according Unreports re ceived here While the building was partially covered by insurance, none was earned on the contents, leaving the members w ithout a change of clothing and hard-pressed to get new clothes.

For\Home Owner $ When Teachers Write to Parents By CAUT CLEVELAND MYERS. PkJ> v I HAVE a food deal of concern c about the damage done by the let- f ten of eome teachers to parenta, (t especially when these letters sug- * gest that the parents should punish c the child at home for hia behavior at school. "It is about our seven-year-old boy," a mother writes. "We get notes from his teacher like this: 'The*t are times when KB? II1 fWff "j good boy and does good work, but again he is so careless. He will not take his time to do his work well, J, although he has the ability. He hur- j ries through with his work half done j and then annoys others ... He J j could be -an A student if he would jj settle down and apply himself, j Whenever he is naughty, he can't I tell why he does things?he does them before he thinks.' I "Now, Dr. Myers, this child is , very bright and keen, but he is very ( nervous. From the time he crawled , he has been just this way?always | j has to be disciplined, talks and acts , every minute. He becomes tired but , won't give up to rest. He'll worry , you into nervous prostration one ( rninuta and love you to death the , next.. .. Urged Spankings I j "His teacher has asked us to pun ish him when she sends notes home that he hasn't done good work. But spanking, depriving hira or sending him to bed?nothing works. When he takes those jittery, miserable spells, nothing does good for long. Perhaps he'll cry and the crying quiets him for a while. When I ask him why he doesn't behave or quiet down, do better work or make good grades, he just shrugs his shoulders and says he was made that way." My reply to tier *u about like bis: -Of course your child la nor oua, eery nervous. It would be a rime for you to punish hint for his ailura to learn at school, as his eacher thinks ha should be. Any ray, punishment doesn't help a hild to learn better from books; ather, it keeps him from learning lince it causes him to hate the les ions which already are hard and ininteresting, as a rule. "What this boy needs is more love in<T encouragement -from parent# who have poise; a home of serenity, where voices are low and there is no adio except for soft music. Induce lira to play out-of-doors. Require lira, when he is very tired, to sit or ie down, when you might read to qni*tly Teacher's Job -Courteously inform the teacher that you will expect her to deal with the boy at school as she sees it, hoping she will be patient; that ppu will not punish him at home for ilia failure to learn at school, but that you would welcome any con structive suggestions for helping this child to gain better habits of Joing his work with accuracy and rare/* .? '. ?' I wish teachers would not sug gest punishment of children at home for their learning or behavior at school. Yet, we must realise that sny teacher who takes the trouble to write to parents, as this teacher did, is conscientiously trying to do her best. Her motives are excellent. I also wish that neither parenta nor teachers would ask a child to explain why he "misbehaved." He rarely knows, not being a psypholo gist. The psych- .' ,:ist, indeed, may be unable to analyze the motives of most of his own behavior. To Observe April As Cancer Control Month In Nation (Continued iTom page one) the way the work is shaping up in , North Carolina under the splendid leadership of Mrs. Coltrane, and ; North Carolina far outshines many ! other states," said Mrs. Illig as she j concluded her busy round of meet mgs and conferences. The national commander, who was a physiotherapist for the army in I the last World War. reviewed the i history of the cancer control move ment. About 26. years ago, physicians surgeons, and scientists formed the American Society for the Control of Cancer. Four field workers were employed to carry on a national edu cational piogiam. The rising toll tali en by cancer indicated a need to reach the public with facts about the disease. The health department of the General Federation of Wo men's Clubs, of which Mrs. Illig was chairman for six years, undertook the difficult task of penetrating the ignorance, superstition, fear, mys tery and apathy which surrounded cancer. Then, in order to reach all the public?not just club women and their families and friends, the Wo men's Field Army was mobilized late in 1936. The American Medical Association has given the Field Army's program and objectives 100 per cent approval and support. So has the United States Public Health Service. The growth of the movement has been ohenom enal and 52 divisions in 46 states and the District of Columbia wiil par ticipate in this year's observance of April as National Cancer Control Month under the slogan of "early cancer is curable; fight it with knowledge." During that period the public will be invited to enlist in the war on Public Health Enemy Num ber 2. An enlistment costs $1 00 and helps make possible the organiza -lionls .educational work.
